Certain effects sometimes lead to weakness or loss of the muscle of the abdomen in men and women, such as rapid weight loss, repeated pregnancies, aging or the loss of part of the abdomen because of surgery.
This negatively affects the psychological state of people, which leads to a lack of confidence in themselves.
Abdominoplasty is a procedure to reduce excess skin and fat around the abdomen and strengthen the musculature of the abdominal wall. The purpose of this procedure is to develop an aesthetic abdomen and which can include direct excision techniques as well as liposuction. With the boom in bariatric surgery, abdominoplasty has become an important option to help these patients with excess abdominal tissue after their weight loss.
Liposuction and abdominoplasty can be practiced at the same time, and here is the difference between them:
Liposuction in Turkey:
It is a procedure that is under general anesthesia, which has the main purpose, to dissolve the greatest amount of accumulated fat, which is difficult to eliminate in a normal way.
Abdominoplasty in Turkey:
It is a procedure performed under general anesthesia which aims to eliminate flaccid and sagged skin and to attach it to the remaining skin by surgical suture.
Sometimes the patient can ask to do the two surgical operations - liposuction and abdominoplasty - at the same time and it is a normal process and does not constitute any damage, but the duration of the operation will be longer of course, and therefore, The list of instructions to be observed will be longer after the operation and during the recovery period.
Types of Abdominoplasty Procedures in Turkey:
- Partial Abdominoplasty (mini) in Turkey:
The abdominoplasty or partial "mini" is the process of eliminating excess fat and skin of the abdomen. This process takes two hours. The patient is generally anesthetized and the cutting process is carried out under the navel. This gives a younger, more flat and more curved abdomen.
-Full Abdominoplasty in Turkey:
A complete abdominoplasty implies a traditional "hip hip" incision along the line of the jersey in order to eliminate excess skin and carry out internal muscle repair throughout the abdominal zone, above and below navel.
It is the most exhaustive and simplest process for the surgeon, which can take up to 6 hours.
- Laser Abdomen Tightening in Turkey:
Abdominoplasty was once generally surgical, but recently a new non -surgical method has been developed, which is the tightening of the laser abdomen for patients who do not prefer to enter the operating room.
The laser firming of the abdomen is done in 3 laser sessions according to each case, during which the doctor makes a slight opening in the abdomen to make liposuction. The directed laser stimulates the collagen substance inside the skin, to maintain the United Tissues and tighten the skin.
This type of tightening of the laser abdomen in Turkey has proven to be effective, especially for simple cases. As for complex cases, abdominoplasty is considered the best choice.
Does The Scar Remain Visible?
We have mentioned previously the belly facelift operations which consist in particular in practicing a large incision in the width of the body under the navel, which leaves a clear scar after the operation, which can disappear over time.
The minimization of the scar effect after the operation is linked to the skill of the doctor to do the operation and to the method used to close the wound and the type of wire also used, some doctors can unfortunately resort to the Suture of the wound by simple traditional methods, which leads to leaving a visible scar which may not disappear over time, so let's get to know the most important types of closure of the wound and suture that reduce the shape of the scar and help hide its effect.
Types of Surgical Sutures:
-Subcuticular Suture :
The incision here is sutured from the inside and avoids passing the wire on the wound. Thus, the possibility of skin deformation is reduced.
- Complex deep incision:
The incision here is sutured from the inside in two phases, avoiding letting the wire pass through the incision so as not to spoil the harmony of the shape of the skin. The incision thus disappears over time.
Instructions after Abdominoplasty in Turkey:
- You will have a skin dressing (bandages) on your incisions. These dressings will be changed during visits to check your condition.
- You must always keep the dressing and the dry and clean wound.
-Keep yourself away from any activity that causes pain or discomfort. Avoid leaning, and lifting heavy objects
- Follow certain ways determined by the doctor to sit down and lie down.
- Avoid intense and sporting efforts for 6 weeks, or as the case may be and the instructions for specialists.
