Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) at Meral Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey 🌟

Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a transformative cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. Ideal for individuals looking to restore a firmer, smoother, and more contoured abdomen, this procedure is especially popular among those who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy-related changes. At Meral Clinic in Istanbul, we specialize in delivering outstanding results tailored to each patient’s unique goals. 🏥✨

What is Abdominoplasty? 🤔

Abdominoplasty is a body contouring procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the abdomen by:

Removing Excess Skin: Eliminates sagging skin caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or pregnancy. ✂️
Reducing Fat Deposits: Targets stubborn fat pockets in the abdominal area. 🩺
Tightening Abdominal Muscles: Repairs and strengthens the abdominal wall for a flatter and firmer midsection. 💪

Benefits of Abdominoplasty 🌟

Enhanced Abdominal Contour: Achieves a flatter, toned, and more proportionate abdominal profile. 🏋️‍♀️
Boosted Confidence: Many patients experience improved self-esteem and comfort in their appearance. 💖
Improved Posture: Strengthening the abdominal muscles can alleviate back pain and improve posture. 🪑
Correction of Diastasis Recti: Repairs separated abdominal muscles, a common condition after pregnancy. 🌿
Long-Lasting Results: With a healthy lifestyle, the results of a tummy tuck can be permanent. 🌈

Types of Abdominoplasty Procedures 🔍

Full Abdominoplasty: Ideal for patients with significant excess skin and muscle laxity. Involves a horizontal incision across the lower abdomen and repositioning of the navel. 🌐
Mini Abdominoplasty: Best suited for individuals with minor skin and fat excess below the navel. Requires a smaller incision and does not involve navel repositioning. ✨
Extended Abdominoplasty: Designed for patients with excess skin and fat extending to the flanks and lower back. Combines a tummy tuck with lateral contouring. 🌟

How the Procedure is Performed 🛠️

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure:

Incision Placement: A horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen, carefully positioned to minimize visible scarring. ✂️
Removal of Excess Skin and Fat: Unwanted skin and fat are removed to reveal a smoother, slimmer abdominal profile. 🩺
Muscle Tightening: The underlying abdominal muscles are sutured together to create a firmer core. 💪
Skin Repositioning and Closure: The remaining skin is stretched downward, and the incision is closed with sutures. 🧵
Final Touches: If necessary, the belly button is repositioned for a natural appearance. 🔄

Recovery and Post-Surgery Care 🛌

Initial Recovery Period: Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1-2 days for monitoring. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and managed with prescribed medications. 💊
Wearing Compression Garments: Essential to minimize swelling and support healing. ✨
Resuming Activities: Light activities can be resumed within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. 🏃‍♀️
Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups ensure proper healing and address any concerns. 📅

Scarring ✂️
