About the Operation

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a body contouring procedure that surgically corrects skin sagging in the abdominal area and muscle separation (diastasis recti) caused by pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed, muscles are approximated, and the navel is repositioned. It can particularly be combined with other procedures within the scope of mommy makeover.

Application Details

  • 1Full abdominoplasty involves a horizontal incision from the groin line to the navel; mini abdominoplasty resolves lower abdominal problems with a shorter incision.
  • 2Abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis) are sutured and tightened at the midline if diastasis is present.
  • 3Can be combined with liposuction (lipo-abdominoplasty) to improve contouring.
  • 4Wearing an abdominal corset for 6 weeks and avoiding heavy exercise after the procedure is mandatory.

Who Is It Suitable For?

  • Individuals who experience abdominal sagging and muscle relaxation after childbirth or significant weight loss
  • Adults at stable weight who have excess abdominal skin and permanent bloating that cannot be resolved with diet
