surgical intervention is voluminous and complex. Lasts from 2 to 5 hours. In the postoperative period,
careful
hygiene, strict dosing of the load, and balanced nutrition are required. Only an attentive attitude to your
body, the implementation of a complex of rehabilitation measures will allow you to preserve the results of
the
doctor`s work and maintain the beauty of your figure for a long time.
Types of plastic surgery in the abdomen. The essence of abdominoplasty surgery
Abdominoplasty helps to give a perfect look to a multifunctional stomach. Tummy tuck Turkey
provides high-quality services in this area, excellent conditions for the subsequent rehabilitation period.
The abdomen is a vital part of the body, deformed by the impact of various circumstances - most often in
women
due to pregnancy; diseases associated with metabolic disorders; improper lifestyle, nutrition, etc. In order
for
this part of the body to be beautiful, abdominoplasty, liposuction (removal of excess fat from different
parts
of the body), umbilicoplasty (formation of a beautiful navel) are used.
With a sharp weight loss, the largest number of skin folds and sagging are formed on the stomach. It is
impossible to eliminate very noticeable defects with the help of intense physical exertion or diet. Excess
skin,
fat deposits can only be removed by abdominal abdominoplasty. During the operation, incisions are made near
the
navel and in the lower abdomen from one hip to the other just above the pubis. The incision should be where
it
can be made as inconspicuous as possible. After that, the skin and subcutaneous fat are separated and lifted
from the anterior abdominal wall, the anterior abdominal muscles are strengthened and connected. Excess fat
deposits are removed by cannulas - special tubes made of soft material containing a solid pin, thanks to
which
cannulas are easily inserted into the body cavities. The surgeon corrects the aponeurosis, forms the
necessary
umbilical opening. After that, excess skin is cut off, subcutaneous drainage is installed to remove
postoperative exudate, stitches are applied. A complex operation is performed under general anesthesia. When
separating a large amount of skin, special care is necessary, since mismatched capillaries, nerve endings
and
other connected tissues that were previously detached from the abdominal wall must be restored. This is a
long
process that requires special conditions for the body.
Myths about tummy abdominoplasty
Tummy tuck is not a way to fight excess weight.
Due to the fact that many people have insufficient information about abdominal plastic surgery, serious
misconceptions arise. Often people turn to specialists who believe that a plastic surgeon can immediately
cut
off all the fat from the body, form the skin, and they will instantly become beautiful and slim. You will
not
have to make any more efforts to lose weight. It will be possible to eat the same and as much as always, to
lead
the same lifestyle. It doesn`t happen that way. Abdominoplasty eliminates many significant abdominal
defects,
but is not a means to lose weight. Not only that. Many people with obesity of various origins cannot be
operated
on. With the help of abdominoplasty, it is impossible to lose weight quickly, and a tummy
abdominoplasty is not
an option for losing weight for the lazy. In order to perform an operation, it requires not only the absence
of
contraindications, but also systematic work on yourself, especially in cases of overweight. Preliminary
reasonable diets, physical exercises should be used in order to bring the body to the state in which the
operation will be possible and effective.
Abdominoplasty and liposuction are completely different operations
Another myth that arose due to lack of awareness: some applicants consider abdominoplasty and liposuction to
be
the same thing. This is a profound misconception. Liposuction involves removing excess fat not only from the
abdomen, but also from other parts of the body. The procedure is carried out using cannulas. No incisions or
skin stretches are made. It is possible to do liposuction only in the absence of contraindications and only
when
excess weight exceeds the desired by no more than 9-10 kg.
Can abdominoplasty be considered easy?
The myth is a misconception that abdominoplasty is a small operation will be dispelled if you ask the
patient to
imagine the essence of the procedure. Cutting off a large amount of skin makes it necessary to separate it
from
a significant area of the internal cavity, which increases the complexity of the operation and its
perception by
the human body. It confirms the seriousness of the surgical intervention and the strength of its impact on
the
body that the operation can last at least one and a half, and in most cases 2-5 hours. Complex connections
of
stretched tissues, muscles, blood vessels, fat layer, etc. they require special care, attention and
experience.
Even if a small abdominal lift is performed. Patient tummy tuck reviews speak of the
painstaking work of
surgeons and excellent results if the necessary rules are followed.
Postoperative scarring
There is a misconception that large scars remain after abdominoplasty. The appearance of wide inflamed scars
is
possible if the wound is poorly sewn; an infection is introduced into the seam, which causes swelling. Seams
increase with their improper processing, non-compliance with the regime of wearing compression underwear,
excessive untimely physical exertion.
How long will the operation last?
Due to the same lack of awareness, there is an opinion-a myth that the result of abdominoplasty has a
short-term
effect. The reason for its occurrence is ordinary human laziness, because of which many people consider a
magical transformation that does not require effort possible. Not all patients change their habits after
surgery. Some people don`t want to remember that you can`t eat too much. It is necessary to apply a
fractional
balanced diet. This rule should be followed throughout life after surgery. In order for the result to be
long-lasting or permanent, it is important not to allow the previous lifestyle. With excessive overeating,
constant use of high-calorie foods, and other bad habits, the weight and volume of the abdomen will increase
again. All previous efforts will be in vain, the result of abdominoplasty will be reduced to zero.
Is it possible to replace surgery with sports and diet?
It is a mistake to think that diet and exercise always give the same results as abdominoplasty. Sports and a
balanced diet bring significant results for an organism trained in advance, for example, before childbirth.
In
such cases, the muscular framework of the abdomen holds the fetus well, stretch marks almost do not occur.
After
giving birth, strong muscles gradually return to normal, also supporting the skin. An undeveloped sports
body
can recover without abdominal plastic surgery. But there are cases when diet and exercise will no longer
help.
Severely sagging skin, peculiar aprons can be removed only with the help of abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty and pregnancy
There are claims that after abdominoplasty it is impossible to give birth, it is impossible to get pregnant
after a tummy tuck. There is a small amount of truth here. After surgery, the skin on the abdomen becomes
stretched, there are no surpluses, so difficulties may arise during pregnancy. Doctors do not recommend
doing
abdominoplasty if a woman plans to get pregnant. In this case, severe stretch marks may form. Stretched skin
will interfere with the growth of the fetus forward, there will be pressure on the internal organs. It is
better
to tighten the stomach after childbirth, if a woman is not satisfied with her appearance.
