Erase the Traces of Pregnancy and Weight Loss: Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Erase the Traces of Pregnancy and Weight Loss: Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Deformations in the abdominal area are among the most common aesthetic complaints for women. Especially the abdominal skin and muscles, which are overstretched during pregnancy, cannot return to their former tightness after childbirth. Similarly, after massive weight loss through bariatric surgery or strict diets, a loosened layer of skin remains hanging down like an "apron" in the belly area. This sagging skin and the loosened muscle structure underneath cannot be corrected by sports, no matter how many heavy crunches you do or how much weight you lose.
At Op. Dr. Buğçe Güney's clinic, we free your body from that sagging skin and stretch marks you have to hide with a single operation. With Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) surgery, we reunite you with that flat, tight, and smooth abdominal profile of your dreams.
Flawless Repair from Inside Out: How is the Surgery Performed?
Tummy tuck aesthetics is not just a simple procedure where excess skin is cut off, but a comprehensive body contouring art where the abdominal wall is anatomically reconstructed:
- Muscle Repair (Internal Corset Effect): The abdominal muscles that separate during pregnancy and cause the abdomen to look bulgy (diastasis recti) are brought together and repaired with strong sutures from the inside. This way, your abdomen becomes flat as if wearing a tight internal corset, and your waist slims down.
- Removal of Excess Skin and Stretch Marks: That excess skin layer below the belly button, which has lost its elasticity, sagged, and is full of stretch marks, is completely removed. The remaining healthy skin on top is stretched downwards and sutured.
- New Belly Button Design: A completely natural and aesthetic-looking new belly button is created perfectly suited to the stretched skin.
Recovery Process and Scars
After this operation, which takes an average of 3-4 hours under general anesthesia, you will be comfortably hosted in our hospital for 1-2 nights for monitoring purposes. Wearing the special medical corset given to you after the surgery for about 1 month accelerates the removal of edema and helps the abdomen take its new shape. The operation scar is planned very low and hidden so that it stays inside the bikini or underwear, just like a C-section scar; over time, it fades to your skin color.
If you want to see a flat and tight body instead of a sagging abdomen when you look in the mirror, you can schedule an appointment with Op. Dr. Buğçe Güney for your tummy tuck planning right now.
Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary from person to person. It is recommended to get a detailed consultation from your physician before the procedure.
