Mini Tummy Tuck

Mini tummy tuck surgery is preferred in patients with good skin elasticity, no separation in abdominal muscles, and especially in patients with excess skin in the lower abdominal region. The belly button is not displaced, and this surgery provides relatively faster healing than a full tummy tuck.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1
What is the difference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck?

It is applied mainly in patients with excess skin in the lower abdomen and without severe deformation in the abdominal muscles. The belly button is immovable; the pain is much less as the abdominal muscles are not repaired again, and the recovery period is speedy.

2
When can I get pregnant after a mini tummy tuck?

Pregnancy planning is recommended after at least one year.

3
Will there be a scar?

There will be a transverse scar so that it stays in the underwear. There is no scarring because the belly button has not moved. The scar is especially evident for the first six months, then will fade over time. It should not be forgotten that the scar varies from person to person; factors such as the person’s genetic factors, external factors ( smoking – sun exposure, etc.) are the essential factors in scarring.

4
What is the process after a mini tummy tuck, and when is returned to social life?

Patients are discharged the next day after staying in the hospital for one night for observation. Although there is mild pain for the first three days, it is envisaged to return to social life after 5-7 days of rest. General exercises can be performed after the third week, and abdominal exercises can be performed after the sixth week.

5
What should I pay attention to after mini tummy tuck?

If there is no smoking after the surgery and is supported by appropriate diet and sports, the result will be perfect.

Tummy Tuck (Abdomınoplasty)

In patients with a previous pregnancy, frequent weight gain or genetic factors, sagging of the abdominal skin, and separation of the abdominal muscles, the most common surgery is removing the excess skin and repairing the separated abdominal muscles.

It is one of the most common aesthetic procedures and can be combined with liposuction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1
Who can undergo abdominoplasty?

It can be done to anyone with any sagging skin that does not pass despite diet-sports in the abdomen. Especially after the second pregnancy, separation occurs in the middle of the abdominal muscles; no matter how hard the person does sports, she cannot get rid of her abdomen’s swollen appearance and excess skin. In this case, the best treatment is abdominoplasty. The abdominal muscles are repaired by a kind of internal corrosion-like method so that both the waist is narrowed and the abdomen is flatter.

2
How is the postoperative process?

In general, we keep you under observation for a night or two in the hospital to make you more comfortable. You are usually standing up with our team at the fourth postoperative hour. Even if the first five days are relatively painful, we support this situation with drugs. Especially after the first two weeks, you can start your daily life. It is recommended to use special corsets for four weeks after surgery. Short-light walks can be started from the second week, and all exercises can be started from the sixth week.

3
When can you return to daily life?

Return to completely normal movements is expected as of the first month.

4
What should we pay attention to before surgery?

In addition to the general precautions, a liquid diet is started for three days before the surgery, and this situation is explained to you in detail by our team. It is aimed to make you more comfortable with a liquid diet after the surgery and obtain more effective results during the surgery. We must perform controls on previous abdominal surgeries, cesareans, and known diseases.

5
Is the result of the surgery permanent?

The result of the surgery is permanent unless there is serious weight gain. It is integrated as a result of surgery with the person’s incredibly strict diet and light sports. If there is no right diet and sports, it is difficult to get full surgery results.

6
Will there be scars after the surgery?

A scar is expected around the belly button as it is planned to remain in underwear in the lower abdomen, relatively more extended than the cesarean section, and the belly button is newly replaced. Particularly in the first 6-12 months, the scars are evident, then fade over time. During this healing process, all anti-scar creams are planned according to your skin structure. It should not be forgotten that scarring varies from person to person due to skin quality, genetic factors, external factors ( smoking –sun exposure, etc.).

7
Can tummy tuck surgery and liposuction be combined?

It is a common combination in eligible patients. However, the important thing here is that the person’s internal fat, not be able to remove by surgery, is low. This situation will be explained to you in detail before the surgery.

8
Can I get pregnant after a tummy tuck surgery?

You may become pregnant eighteen months after the surgery; severe deformation is not expected if you do not gain excessive weight.
