Obesity and overweight are among the biggest problems of our time. Therefore, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures performed after bariatric surgery or weight loss are increasing day by day. It can be predicted that this number will increase even more with the patients coming from abroad.

Abdominoplasty and liposuction are generally used in combination. This operation is not a weight loss operation. It is used to shape the abdomen and its surroundings. For this reason, you must meet certain criteria to perform this operation. Especially those who have bariatric surgery should be at a constant weight for 1 year, should not have anemia, trace element and vitamin deficiency, and body mass index should be between 30-32. In addition, previous pregnancy, hernia history, trauma or surgery history are also important.

Abdominoplasty is performed by plastic surgeons under general anesthesia. It takes about 4 hours on average. Liposuction before tummy tuck is used in almost every case. Liposuction is an effective method for waist-hip transition and shaping the soft tissue of the abdomen. With a surgical incision made between both pelvises, the abdominal tissue is removed and excess skin tissue is removed. Patients who have bariatric surgery with excess skin on the navel, horizontal narrowing can be performed by making an incision in the midline. The belly button is moved to where it should be; especially for women, since the abdominal muscles are opened after pregnancy, the abdominal muscles are corrected by sewing them together.

Pain is inevitable after surgery, it is the pain that troubles patients the most, right after the surgery. It is necessary to use a corset for 1 month. Dressing and wound healing should be followed up after the operation. Since your sewing line will be largely inside your underwear, the scar can be hidden. Sports activities related to the abdominal muscles should not be performed for 1.5 months after the operation. Procedures that increase intra-abdominal pressure should be avoided.

Early postoperative complications may include hematoma (blood collection), wound infections, and suture line dehiscence (opening). In the late period, asymmetry, skin irregularities, seroma (collection of serum) can be seen. There is a treatment method for every complication.
