The tummy tuck is an operation that takes about 2 hours under general anesthesia. The duration of the operation may be slightly longer in patients with excessive abdominal fat and herniation due to muscle tears. After the operation, drains are placed to allow the dirty blood to flow out of the abdomen, and we put on the tummy tuck. Our hospital stay is 1 day. The day after the operation, the patient can go home after the first check-ups.

Abdominoplasty techniques; Tummy tuck is performed using two different methods, which are decided according to the degree of slack in the skin and the subcutaneous fat. These include the mini tummy tuck; This is used in patients who have no excess skin and tissue above the navel, but only a small excess of skin and fat in the lower abdomen. The classic tummy tuck results in sagging and excess skin in the lower and upper navel area. The relaxed abdominal muscles are folded inwards and tightened with the help of sutures. The belly button is removed from the remaining skin in the abdomen through a newly opened hole and placed in its new location.
