To Whom the Abdominal Aesthetics Can Be Applied?

It is an operation that can be performed mostly for an adult person. It is not a treatment method that can be used for individuals with weight problems at early ages. One of the most important element is that the person who will be operated should be at the appropriate weight. If not, he/she is expected to lose weight. The importance of weight lossis to achieve the desired level of stretching by reducing abdominal tension.

If the person has a prior aesthetic surgery, he / she should inform the surgeon about the operation. The patient is asked to quit smoking at least 1 month before the operation if he/she smokes and then he/she is asked not to smoke for at least 2 weeks. This is because smoking prevents the healing of the wound.

Abdominoplasty Types

Abdominoplasty is performed in two ways. Depending on where and at what size the abdominoplasty is to be performed, mini and complete stretching is performed.

Mini Abdominoplasty

If the abdomen with deformation is located at the bottom of the umbilicus, if slight fat deposition and sags in the lower part of the umbilicus are seen, if the separation and loosening in the abdominal muscles are not visible, if there is no sagging or fat deposition over the umbilicus, and there are partial cracks at the bottom of the umbilicus mini abdominoplasty surgery may be appropriate.

It is especially applied to people who have given birth, and whose excess fat or subcutaneous tissue collected under the belly.

Certainly, a process is not applied to the region above the belly. The most suitable candidates for the mini abdominoplasty are those with the umbilicus above, since a procedure is not performed over the belly.

Complete Abdominoplasty

This method is preferred in cases where the problems seen in mini abdominoplasty are seen in the upper part of the belly. Complete abdominoplasty is performed on the upper part of umbilicus and on between the groin and abdomen. Sagging, cracks, excess fat tissue seen in this area are removed. Loose abdominal muscles are tightened and the skin strained. During surgery, the surgical wound is planned to be inside the underwear.
