Abdominal surgery , also called abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, changes the shape of the abdominal area and makes it look and feel smooth. In abdominal surgery, the abdominal bump is not just corrected. In cases where the curvature of the flanks has disappeared and the flesh has been filled, the abdominal surgery will also smooth out the flanks and provide a smooth, shaved appearance.
tummy tuck, in addition to correcting excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, can also eliminate the so-called abdominal muscle detachment, which is a right abdominal wall muscle breakdown that occurs especially in some women after pregnancy.
When the problem is just excess fat and the skin has good consistency and elasticity, you can get good results with the fat suction method. This procedure is not called tummy tuck and is actually abdominal fat suction or liposuction.
In actual abdominal surgery, the extra skin of the abdominal area will also be removed and the skin will have to be removed and removed to make the abdomen smooth.
If you are considering tummy tuck, you should consult a plastic surgeon with a specialized encyclopedia to determine exactly how you can get the best results possible.
Suitable candidate for tummy tuck
Suitable candidates for abdominal surgery are healthy men and women who have extra abdominal skin, are stable in weight and are not obese.
They do not have physical problems that prevent the wound from healing properly, such as heart disease or some autoimmune disorders.
If you have problems that may endanger your health, make sure that your plastic surgeon and your treating physician discuss this with each other.
Women who are planning to become pregnant in the future are better off postponing their abdominal surgery. Abdominal surgery does not interfere with pregnancy, but the positive results from this surgery will be greatly missed following pregnancy.
How to perform tummy tuck
Surgery involves abdominal surgery by cutting and removing excess skin and sometimes by removing fat. Typically, surgical abdominal incisions are made over the bones to smooth the abdomen. These incisions may be very short, up to a few centimeters, or extend from the hip bone to the other on the other side, and even back. The umbilical cord may also be cut. Creates a new abdominal form where necessary using internal sutures. If there is a muscle breakdown, the right abdominal muscles that are separated will be attached to each other. After removing excess fat and internal fixation, they pull the skin down to the incision, trim the extra tissue and sew the incisions with sutures or metal fasteners. Creates a new hole for the navel and sutures the navel to the edges of the hole.
What waits me in the process of tummy tuck
Abdominal surgery is usually performed with general anesthesia. Staying overnight in a hospital or rehabilitation center is recommended depending on the volume of abdominal surgery.
In the first 24 to 48 hours of waking up, you must be in charge of an adult at all times. You will feel pain in the abdominal area as well as the incision site, which can be controlled with medication.
In most cases, your plastic surgeon recommends that you do not completely straighten your body one to two weeks after abdominal surgery and just lie down half-way down and pillow under your knees. You may need some basic things like getting dressed and going to the bathroom in the first few days. You should start walking as soon as possible to reduce the risk of blood clots in your body.
Thin narrow tubes may work in your body to discharge any excess fluid that accumulates at the site of operation. It also probably closes that area. Or dressing your sutures. Once you feel ready, you can resume your daily activities.
External sutures or metal fasteners are removed within approximately one to two weeks. The abdominal tissues may become stiff during healing and the area may crack. Most swelling usually resolves within 1 to 6 months and the final results of abdominal surgery can be seen within 6 months.
The incision site will continue to soften, dim, and improve for the next one or two years. tummy tucks are permanent, just like any other surgery. But the location of these scarves can be hidden under most underwear and swimsuits.
What you need to know about the potential complications of tummy tuck
tummy tuck is a very safe procedure if performed by a qualified plastic surgeon on a physically fit candidate. One possible consequence of asymmetry is the possibility of infection, blood clots, subcutaneous blood accumulation, excessive fluid accumulation, necrosis and, in rare cases, pulmonary embolism. It is also possible to create prominent or irregular scars. In addition, there is a risk of abdominal tissue damage due to standing upright before complete healing. Like any other surgery, minor corrective actions may be required. And the dangers of anesthesia should always be considered probable.
Your responsibilities during abdominal surgery (tummy tuck)
Tobacco can severely prevent wounds, so be sure to avoid smoking a few weeks before your tummy tuck. In addition, you should carefully follow all the recommendations of your plastic surgeon. Although bending can be uncomfortable for a few days, it is essential to heal wounds and get good results from abdominal surgery. If you take good care of your wounds and follow all the instructions for using topical ointments, silicone sheets and massaging the incisions, the incisions will be well restored. In addition, you should keep your weight constant and at the optimum level and exercise regularly so that your abdomen and limbs look better with a smooth abdomen.

We use a bleeding-free technique for tummy tuck surgery

-
We use a suture technique that reduces scarring and speeds up the healing process
Closing incisions at the end of surgery is what sets us apart from other plastic surgeons. We use a 3-layer system for sutures to speed wound healing. In these three layers, which are done from the inner and deepest layer to the most superficial layer; In the first and deepest layer, the suture is made of a material that is slowly absorbed by the body and this suture remains in the body for several months to completely close the deepest layer.
The second layer of this suture is absorbed faster than the deep layer and is used in suturing both ends of the incisions to reduce the pressure created by visible wounds on the surface of the skin.
The last layer of sutures is used to close incisions in the surface of the skin. These sutures, which are suitable for the soft tissues of the outer layer of the skin, are absorbed sooner than other sutures so that the final wounds become thin and faint lines.
In addition to the suture system, we use medical adhesive on the incisions after tummy tuck surgery. The adhesive helps to reduce the pressure on the cuts during repair. The less pressure is applied to the wounds, the smaller and more invisible they will be after recovery.
After surgery, we offer a warm serum and an electric blanket.
Usually tummy tuck, the patient wakes up feeling cold and sometimes shivering. For your convenience, after tummy tuck surgery, we provide you with a warm electric blanket so that you do not feel cold, and before any injection, we warm the injected serum to a suitable temperature.

Hello, I had an tummy tuck three weeks ago with you at Iran surgery center. Everything is going well, but when I take off my jeans, I can’t sit up straight.
Hello, dear Evelyn. I am glad to see your message.
This is completely normal and will be resolved over time.
I had a tummy tuck about 10 years ago. During the second pregnancy, now I have a sagging belly. Can I do abdominal surgery again?
In most cases, it is possible to repeat the abdominoplasty operation. But for a definitive opinion, you should be visited by a doctor. Please send a photo of your abdomen to WhatsApp number +989057153670 so that we can talk to the doctor about you.
Hey
I had a tummy tuck, how long after that can I have a breast prosthesis?
Hello
Thank you for your message. 6 months after tummy tuck surgery, you can perform breast implants (breast augmentation). If you are in good physical condition, it is better to perform the abdominoplasty surgery and the breast implants together so that the recovery period of the two procedures can be completed together and you will not have the side effects of double anesthesia.
