How does tummy tuck surgery work?

The surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia and involves making a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, from hip bone to hip bone. The excess skin and fat are then removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened using sutures. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and stitched closed, leaving a smoother and flatter abdominal contour.

What are the benefits of tummy tuck surgery?

One of the main benefits of tummy tuck surgery is that it can significantly improve the appearance of the abdominal area, particularly for those who have excess skin and stretch marks from weight loss or pregnancy. Additionally, the tightening of the abdominal muscles can help improve core strength and posture.

What is the recovery period like?

The recovery period for tummy tuck surgery can take several weeks, with patients typically needing to take time off work and avoid strenuous activity for several weeks. Patients may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising in the treated area, which can be managed with pain medication and compression garments.

Is tummy tuck surgery safe?

Like all surgical procedures, there are risks associated with tummy tuck surgery, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. However, when performed by a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, the risks are minimized.

Does Tummy Tuck need to be combined wıth Vaser lıposuctıon?

Tummy tuck surgery and VASER liposuction are two different procedures that can be performed separately or in combination, depending on the patient’s specific needs and goals.

Tummy Tuck vs. VASER Liposuction:

Tummy tuck surgery is primarily focused on removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles to create a smoother and flatter abdominal contour. This procedure is often recommended for patients who have undergone significant weight loss or pregnancy and have excess skin and stretch marks in the abdominal area.
On the other hand, VASER liposuction is a body contouring procedure that selectively removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms, using ultrasonic energy. This procedure is often recommended for patients who have stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Combining Abdominoplasty with VASER Liposuction:

While Tummy Tuck Turkey and VASER liposuction can be performed separately, they can also be combined in a single surgical session to achieve more comprehensive body contouring results. The combination of both procedures can help remove excess skin and fat, as well as improve abdominal muscle tone and overall body shape.
