What is Tummy Tuck?

The tummy tuck has become increasingly popular due to its natural and satisfying outcomes. This cosmetic surgery offers various techniques tailored to meet specific needs, helping patients achieve excellent results. If you want to achieve a tighter appearance in your abdominal area, a tummy tuck might be worth exploring.

A tummy tuck is an aesthetic surgery performed on the abdominal area. Although tummy tuck is not considered a weight-loss method, the primary purpose of this operation is to improve body form by flattening the tummy and strengthening muscles of the abdominal wall. During the procedure, excess fat and tissue are surgically removed, and the abdominal connective tissue is generally tightened with stitches. The remaining skin is then reshaped to provide a more contoured and natural appearance. Many patients also consider liposuction in Turkey as a complementary procedure to effectively eliminate stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, which can enhance the overall results of their tummy tuck, while others may explore breast augmentation in Turkey to achieve a more balanced and proportionate body silhouette that further boosts their confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.

What are the Types of Tummy Tuck?

There are numerous alternatives available under the generic term tummy tuck in Turkey. All steps of the tummy tuck operation are performed by highly qualified experts, such as those at Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital. Here are the types of tummy tucks:

Hourglass Tummy Tuck

The hourglass tummy tuck, as the name implies, seeks to shape the body into an hourglass figure. This operation requires a greater effort to alter the body form than a typical tummy tuck. It often combines a standard tummy tuck with liposuction and a Brazilian butt lift to achieve the desired shape.

Extended Tummy Tuck

This surgery includes removing excess skin and fatty tissue from the sides and back, along with the abdominal area. It gives a countered shape to the body from all angles.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is typically performed on a smaller area, specifically between the belly button and the lower abdomen. This procedure is suitable when there is minimal excess fat and skin, requiring a smaller incision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tummy tuck procedures in Turkey adhere to strict hygiene and safety regulations, ensuring a secure process with minimal potential risks that could happen in other countries as well. Choosing Turkey’s top-notch facilities like Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital further reduces any potential risks.
During the procedure, the expert will make an incision in the outer layer of skin on the abdomen and detach the skin from the abdominal wall. Any extra fat and skin will be removed, and the incisions will be meticulously stitched closed.
During the procedure, the expert will make an incision in the outer layer of skin on the abdomen and detach the skin from the abdominal wall. Any extra fat and skin will be removed, and the incisions will be meticulously stitched closed.
Tummy tuck surgery is suitable for anyone seeking improvement in the abdominal area, regardless of gender.
There is no difference between abdominoplasty and tummy tuck since both terms refer to the same plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area. The tummy tuck is a casual term for abdominoplasty, which is the term commonly used in the medical literature.

As with many surgical procedures, tummy tuck surgery may entail minimal side effects post-operation, such as:

  • Slight discomfort or ache,
  • Bruising or swelling around the surgical area,
  • Formation of a scar, which typically fades over time.
It takes roughly six weeks to fully recover and observe the results clearly. During this time, it’s important to rest and avoid high-intensity activities for 1 to 2 months. Patients are often provided with a specific type of corset or tummy-control trousers to aid in recovery and reduce swelling.
You could take a shower after three days following surgery if it was carried out without drains. However, if abdominal drains are still in place, showering is only recommended after their removal. In the meantime, patients may opt for sponge baths, taking care around the drains.
Tummy tucks remove loose skin and excess fat simultaneously, whereas liposuction targets only excess fat without addressing skin laxity. Although both aim to achieve a flatter, smoother tummy, the operations and outcomes differ significantly.
The jackknife position should be maintained while sitting. The knees and feet must be lifted, and the head should also be elevated. You can use either cushions or a reclining chair during this period.
Since the tissues are pulled tightly around the waist during the procedure, it is not recommended to stand completely upright in the initial stage of recovery. Instead, patients should maintain a slightly bent or jackknifed position while standing or walking, leaning forward slightly in the weeks following the surgery.
A tummy tuck works well for those who are in good health but have excess fat or sagging skin around the abdomen area. Women who have undergone multiple pregnancies, for example, may benefit from this operation since it addresses both weakened abdominal muscles and excess skin.
