Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is called abdominal stretching, abdominal skin is loose or sagged, abdominal anterior wall muscles are deformed people. The downward pointing of the navel is also an important clue to the decision. It is very important to make the right decision for the patient complaints in and around the abdomen because sometimes the skin elasticity is good and the muscles are not deformed, we can achieve very good results with liposuction only without creating a scar. Patients who need real abdominal stretching are happy to leave the operation because in this operation the anterior abdominal wall is separated from the base muscle tissue under the ribs. The relaxed muscle tissue is narrowed with necessary plication, the entire anterior wall skin and subcutaneous tissue is stretched and the excess part is removed. Thus, a significant reduction in anterior-posterior diameter of the abdomen is achieved and a flattening of the anterior part of the relaxed and deformed abdomen is achieved. The person becomes narrowed as if wearing a corset from inside and flattened as if there was no looseness.

Especially patients with serious cracks during pregnancy can get rid of all the cracks under the navel. We also have many patients who survived the traces of previous operations between the navel and pubis. The operation can be applied not only to women but also to men. Operation can be combined with liposuction for a good aesthetic result. The procedure called mini-abdominoplasty is applied to people whose abdominal muscles are not deformed, sagging or loosening between the navel and pubis.

Abdominal stretching marks, plans to be seen in the underwear. The less sagging and deformation, the shorter the trace. It is performed under general anesthesia. It is an operation that lasts 2-3 hours. The patient is usually hospitalized for 1 day. Special corsets covering the postoperative area are used. The patient may return to work after 7-10 days.
