Information About Abdominoplasty
Harsh diets, endless cardio sessions, and crunches... Despite all these efforts, you still can't get rid of that loose and sagging appearance in your abdominal area? Don't worry, you are not alone, and the problem is not that you aren't trying hard enough. Especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss, the skin loses its elasticity, and the abdominal muscles separate. As Op. Dr. Buğçe Ballıoğlu Güney, we give your body back that tight and flat form it deserves with Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) surgery at the point where sports and diet fall short.
What is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Surgery?
A tummy tuck operation is a comprehensive body shaping procedure where the loose, sagging, and stretch-marked excess skin in the abdominal area is surgically removed, while the loosened abdominal wall muscles (diastasis recti) are repaired and tightened from the inside. This surgery is not just an aesthetic touch, but also a functional repair that reduces the risk of abdominal hernia and corrects posture disorders.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Tummy Tuck Aesthetics?
If you are experiencing one or more of the following conditions, abdominoplasty might be the most ideal solution for you:
- If you have a bulge and sagging that remains as a \"pregnancy belly\" after childbirth,
- If skin folds have formed in the lower abdomen after bariatric surgery or significant weight loss through diet,
- If you have intense stretch marks in the abdominal area,
- If your body mass index (BMI) is close to your ideal level but your abdominal area stubbornly refuses to shape up.
Combined Evaluation with Vaser Liposuction
In plastic surgery, the most balanced results are usually achieved with combined procedures. Just removing the excess skin may not always be enough to make the waist look curvy. For this reason, at Op. Dr. Buğçe Ballıoğlu Güney's clinic, we frequently combine the tummy tuck procedure with Vaser Liposuction (Ultrasonic Fat Removal). The stubborn fat in the waist and love handle area is melted and removed with state-of-the-art technology, while the excess skin in the front abdominal area is tightened. The result: Both a flat stomach and a curvy, body proportions-shaped waistline!
Recovery Process and the Status of Scars
Tummy tuck surgeries are performed under general anesthesia and usually require a 1-2 night hospital stay. Using an abdominal corset after the surgery is of critical importance for the tissues to adapt to their new places.
The biggest hesitation for many of our patients is the surgical scar. The incision scar is hidden in a strategic point that will remain completely inside the underwear or bikini (like a slightly longer cesarean scar). This thin line, which fades over time and approaches your skin color, is a detail that our patients can easily tolerate considering the magnificent flat abdominal profile they will achieve.
Self-personal satisfaction begins the moment you make peace with your reflection in the mirror. Stop hiding behind baggy clothes and set your body free.
If you want to make a fresh start for your body and permanently achieve that tight look you miss, you can schedule your consultation with Op. Dr. Buğçe Ballıoğlu Güney right away and plan your personalized surgery.
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.
