What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, often referred to as a tummy tuck, addresses the loss of abdominal skin elasticity resulting from factors like rapid weight fluctuations and pregnancy. These conditions lead to the relaxation and sagging of the abdominal skin, accompanied by diminished skin quality and the appearance of stretch marks.

For years, tummy tuck surgery has been a reliable solution for these issues, aiming not merely to remove excess skin but to sculpt and refine the body's contour. Liposuction serves as a supplementary technique in this procedure. However, due to concerns over potential damage to vascular and nerve structures with traditional liposuction methods, a more conservative approach is often employed during abdominoplasty to preserve the blood vessels that nourish the skin. This ensures a safer, more effective enhancement of the abdominal area, solidifying the role of abdominoplasty and liposuction as vital components in achieving a desired aesthetic outcome.

Abdominoplasty Methods

In Turkey, abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a popular procedure for improving the appearance and contour of the abdomen. At our clinic, we offer two primary types of abdominoplasty: mini abdominoplasty and full abdominoplasty. Each type is tailored to address specific issues based on the extent of correction needed, the condition of the abdominal skin, and the individual's health status.

Full Abdominoplasty

A full abdominoplasty, often referred to as a full tummy tuck in Turkey, is suitable for patients who experience significant sagging around and above the belly button, and where there is a notable separation between the abdominal muscles. This comprehensive procedure involves making vertical incisions from the navel to the groin area, and occasionally, horizontal incisions are also necessary. During the surgery, excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal area is tightened to correct sagging and stretch marks. The abdominal muscles are also realigned and tightened to restore a more youthful and firm abdominal profile. Full abdominoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and typically lasts between 3-4 hours.

Mini Abdominoplasty

The mini abdominoplasty, or mini tummy tuck, is ideal for patients who have milder issues confined to the area below the navel. This procedure does not involve repositioning the belly button and focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen to restore a tighter and smoother appearance. If necessary, minor adjustments to the abdominal muscles may also be made. Mini abdominoplasty also requires general anaesthesia but is less extensive than a full tummy tuck, with the surgery usually taking about 1.5 hours.

Before Your Abdominoplasty Operation

Undergoing an abdominoplasty is a significant decision that involves careful preparation to minimise risks and enhance the success of the surgery. Whether you are considering a full tummy tuck or a mini abdominoplasty in Turkey, it is crucial to adhere to specific preoperative guidelines.

Medication and Supplements

  • Discontinue Blood Thinners: Immediately after your surgery is scheduled, stop taking any blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, as well as any herbal teas and supplements that might increase bleeding during surgery. This includes avoiding vitamins and minerals that can affect blood clotting, such as vitamins C, D, E, and K.
  • Review Pain Management: Consult with your surgeon about safe pain management options post-surgery. Commonly recommended pain relievers include drugs like Novalgin and Paracetamol, which are safer alternatives to NSAIDs.

Dietary Adjustments

  • Manage Your Weight: If you are overweight, it may be necessary to lose weight gradually before undergoing abdominoplasty to ensure optimal results and reduce surgical risks.
  • Diet Before Surgery: In the days leading up to your surgery, adjust your diet to avoid foods that may cause constipation. Opt for easily digestible foods to minimise any discomfort and prepare your body for the healing process.

Herbal and Dietary Considerations

  • Avoid Certain Herbs and Supplements: Herbal teas containing green tea, as well as foods rich in flaxseed, should be avoided. Additionally, steer clear of supplements like Coenzyme Q10 and Ginseng, which can also affect blood clotting and overall surgery readiness.

Pre-Surgery Consultation

  • Schedule and Planning: Typically, surgery is scheduled three weeks after the decision for a tummy tuck is made. This time allows you to prepare your body and mind for the changes and challenges ahead.

By carefully preparing for your abdominoplasty in Turkey, you can help ensure a smoother operation and recovery. It is vital to follow all guidelines provided by your healthcare provider and constantly communicate with them as you approach your surgery date. Choosing to have your tummy tuck in Turkey means selecting a country known for its advanced medical procedures and highly skilled surgeons, ensuring you receive the best care possible in your journey towards a renewed body contour.

Post-Operative Care After Abdominoplasty in Turkey

Recovering from an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, in Turkey involves careful attention to minimise potential complications such as bleeding and infection. Like all surgical procedures, following your doctor’s post-operative instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.

Immediate Post-Operative Care

  • Hospital Stay: After undergoing abdominoplasty, patients typically stay in the hospital for 1-2 days to ensure initial recovery is stable.
  • Corset Use: Patients are required to wear a special corset for about a month post-surgery. This helps to maintain the new shape of the abdomen and enhances the success of the procedure.
  • Managing Pain: It is common to experience some discomfort due to the surgery. Pain management is usually handled through prescribed painkillers to alleviate any discomfort during the early recovery phase.
  • Activity: Patients are encouraged to start walking with assistance a few hours after surgery to promote blood circulation. By the next day, slow-paced walking is usually possible without support.

Healing and Long-Term Care

  • Scarring: The incision scar from a tummy tuck is strategically placed to be concealed within the lines of underwear. This scar typically begins to fade within two months if the healing process is optimal, becoming increasingly discreet over time.
  • Return to Routine: Post-surgery activities like bathing are usually resumed within 2-3 days. Although patients can generally return to work within 7-10 days, this period can vary based on the individual’s healing speed and the nature of their job. For those who undergo a mini tummy tuck, the recovery time can be shorter, often allowing a return to work within just 4 days.

Special Considerations for Sleeve Gastrectomy Patients

  • Routine Activities: Recovery from sleeve gastrectomy, another weight loss surgery option in Turkey, also requires careful monitoring. Patients need to avoid strenuous activities that could strain the stitches, such as sneezing or coughing, during the first week.

Planning for Future Pregnancies

  • Post-Pregnancy Surgery: While a tummy tuck does not directly affect pregnancy, it is recommended to undergo the procedure after completing all planned pregnancies. This approach helps avoid the effects of future pregnancies on the results of the tummy tuck, such as additional sagging or stretch marks.

Choosing to have your abdominoplasty or Turkish tummy tuck performed in Turkey not only ensures access to skilled surgeons and advanced medical facilities but also offers a detailed and guided recovery process. This comprehensive care helps patients achieve the best possible results and return to their daily activities with confidence and comfort.
