Tummy Tuck

A flatter, firmer and more aesthetic abdomen.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to correct the skin sagging, loosened abdominal muscles and excess fat tissue that develop in the abdominal area. It provides effective results particularly in correcting the deformations that occur in the abdominal area after pregnancies, weight changes and the ageing process.

What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck is a smaller-scale operation preferred in patients whose sagging is only below the navel and whose abdominal muscle laxity is limited.

Tummy Tuck (Full Abdominoplasty)

• Covers the entire abdominal area.
• Excess skin above and below the navel is corrected.
• The abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened.
• The navel is reshaped.
• Suitable for patients with more pronounced sagging.

Mini Tummy Tuck

• Focuses only on the lower abdominal area.
• A shorter incision is used.
• The navel is usually preserved.
• Suitable for patients with more limited sagging.

Who Is It Suitable For?

• Those experiencing laxity in the abdominal area after childbirth,
• Those with skin sagging after weight loss,
• Those with separation of the abdominal muscles,
• Those not satisfied with the appearance of their abdomen despite diet and exercise may be considered for it.

How Is the Surgery Performed?

It is carried out under general anaesthesia. Excess skin and fat tissue are removed, the abdominal muscles are repaired where necessary and the abdominal area is reshaped. Depending on the patient's needs, the procedure can be combined with liposuction.

Recovery Process

Wearing a special compression garment for several weeks after surgery is recommended. Mild pain, tightness and swelling may occur in the first days. Patients can usually return to their daily lives within a short time.
