Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure, also known in the medical field as abdominoplasty. This surgery aims to remove excess skin and fat tissue in the abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles. It is generally applied for weight loss or correction of postpartum sagging of the abdomen. During tummy tuck surgery, the surgeon usually makes an incision, which is usually located below the bikini line and is somewhat hidden. Thanks to this incision, excess skin and adipose tissue are removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the abdomen becomes flatter and firmer. Sometimes liposuction can be performed during the surgery, so that excess fat tissue can be removed. Abdominoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia and the duration of the operation may vary depending on the needs of the person. The recovery period after surgery varies by individual, but can usually take several weeks. Careful rest, wound care, and activity restrictions may be required after surgery. Some side effects such as swelling, bruising and discomfort may occur after surgery, but these usually subside over time. Abdominoplasty has some risks. These are infection, bleeding, complications related to anesthesia, wound healing problems, sensory changes and possible scars. It is important to consult a plastic surgeon to learn more about these risks. Abdominoplasty can be an effective option for people who want to correct sagging skin and fat tissue in the abdomen. However, it is important to make a detailed evaluation with a plastic surgeon before surgery to understand the expectations and possible risks.
