Abdominoplasty procedures are performed in the area from under the chest to the bikini area. The abdominal area is the area most affected by pregnancy, weight gain or loss. If birth and weight loss occur at a young age, some healing can be seen thanks to the flexible structure of the abdominal area.It can even regain its original form when the necessary care is taken. However, lifting procedures are performed in cases where the abdominal area loses its flexibility.The abdominal area may show sagging due to old age. Such situations prevent sagging from healing naturally. With aesthetic surgical interventions, excess parts can be removed and the abdominal area can be given a flexible and natural appearance.Smoking and alcohol should be stopped at least two weeks before the operation, and blood thinners and other drugs that may affect the operation should be stopped. People who are candidates to become a mother should plan their abdominal lifting procedures for the 6-month period after birth.

How is Abdominoplasty Surgery Performed?

Abdominoplasty surgeries are performed under general anaesthesia. Necessary examinations are applied to the patient before the operation and the patient’s needs are determined first. Depending on the area where the surgical operation will be performed, the duration of the operation may vary between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.The excess fat in the abdominal area is removed and removed together with the sagging skin. The skin is sutured again by applying internal suture methods to the abdominal muscles. In order to prevent deterioration of the aesthetic appearance with suture scars, the skin is stretched towards the bikini area and the suture method is applied in this area.If the patient’s umbilicus needs to be relocated, this can be done at this stage. The operation can be used together with liposuction method for faster healing. In abdominal aesthetic surgeries, two different methods are used as full abdominoplasty and mini abdominoplasty surgeries.Complete lifts performed with a focus on the abdomen are called abdominoplasty. In this method, the sagging skin is lifted up to the costal area. At this stage, stretch marks and celluloid formations are removed. Depending on the needs of the patient, the location of the umbilicus can be changed or left fixed.What is maternity aesthetics? The subject is among the topics that women often research after childbirth. Stretch marks and fat deposits in the abdominal area during pregnancy cause sagging and unwanted aesthetic appearance after birth.In cases where these conditions cannot be corrected with diet programmes and sports activities, plastic surgery methods are restored to the former aesthetic appearance. In maternity aesthetic procedures, full or mini abdominal aesthetic operations can be applied according to the needs of the patient.

Why is Abdominoplasty Performed?

In surgical procedures performed against sagging in the abdominal region, personalised treatment methods are applied.Patients may need abdominoplasty in the following cases;

• In postpartum stretch marks and sagging,
• In sagging after weight loss,
• Surgical removal of abdominal fat,
• Congenital or acquired focal problems of the navel,
• In natural sagging due to old age,
• In cases of combined plastic surgery,

It is possible to remove the scars formed after maternity surgery with plastic surgery methods from the abdominal region. Patients who undergo gastric balloon or gastric reduction operation should definitely wait for the completion of the weight loss period for abdominoplasty procedures.

Who Can Have Abdominoplasty?

Surgical lifting methods performed in the abdominal region can be applied to men and women. Abdominoplasty procedures are usually applied in young women due to sagging and stretch marks after birth. Lifting aesthetic methods are applied against sagging in the abdominal region due to the loss of the flexible structure of the abdomen in men and women in advanced ages.Abdominoplasty is a form of body contouring. For this reason, the lifting method can be used in all cases where abdominoplasty cannot be achieved with natural methods. Abdominoplasty procedures are usually applied to patients who have completed their development. However, in certain circumstances, it can be applied to groups of young people who have not completed their development.In some cases, even if the patient needs an abdominal lift, surgical operations can present problems for the patient. Patients with chronic diseases, patients who are not suitable for anaesthesia procedures, diabetics should avoid such operations unless it is mandatory. Such disorders lead to the development of complications in the patient and decrease the success of the operation.

Abdominoplasty Prices

Abdominal lifting procedures are determined by patient-specific examination and treatment methods. Abdominoplasty surgery prices are determined according to the risk status of the surgical operations to be performed. While mini lifting procedures are performed in a shorter time, the duration of general lifting procedures is longer and the risk rate is higher.For this reason, the prices of general lifting procedures performed in the abdomen are higher than the mini method. When liposuction method is used in the abdominal region, the operation time is prolonged and this affects the prices in direct proportion. Abdominoplasty prices can provide an advantage in the patient’s combined lifting procedures.Since sagging and stretch marks that occur after pregnancy do not occur due to adiposity and can only be removed by lifting the skin, the prices of maternity aesthetics are generally lower. Mothers must wait 6 months after the birth before these methods can be used.

Factors Determining Abdominoplasty Prices

Abdominal lifting aesthetics can be clearly determined in patient and surgeon interviews. Before the patient has been examined and the treatment methods have been determined, it is not possible to say anything definite about the prices.However, it is possible to say that prices may vary depending on the medical products needed during the operation and the duration of the operation. The recognition of the team involved in the operation is also decisive in prices.The fact that experienced surgeons are involved in abdominal lifting procedures affects the prevention of unwanted complications and the patient’s healing process. In addition, the use of advanced medical products during the procedures makes the unwanted surgical scar as invisible as possible.

Process After Abdominoplasty

Warnings that can be said for every surgical operation can also be said after abdominoplasty surgery. The physical condition of the patient, the width of the operation area, the variety of methods used naturally affect the patient’s healing process.After the operation, the patient should be kept under observation in the clinical environment for 1 day against complications that may develop. The first 24 hours are important for the patient. During this period, the patient should never take a bath, and if necessary, water should not touch the operation area.During the two-month period, the patient should not move in a way that will not strain the stitches and should take care not to lift heavy. The patient can start mild sports and exercises after waiting for a month to maintain their form.After the operation in the abdomen, the operation area should be supported with the corset recommended by the physician. The patient should lie in the V position for at least one week and perform his/her walks by leaning slightly forward so as not to stretch the abdomen.In the clinic where the operation is performed, the dressing process should be continued for at least two weeks with a 2-day interval in different clinic environments with the methods recommended by the physician in mandatory cases. Since body-acceptable suture products are used in the operation, there is no need to remove the stitches. According to the physical structure of the person, the stitches will disappear.Those who have maternity aesthetics may feel mild pain in the abdominal area where the operation is performed for a few days. Painkillers and antibiotics recommended by the physician can easily be used for such problems. After a maximum of two weeks, the patient can continue daily activities without pain. In order for the healing process to take place faster, it is absolutely necessary to restrict the use of alcohol and smoking.
