EXTENDED TUMMY TUCK IN TURKEY

An extended tummy tuck is a complete form of abdominoplasty that can address excess skin and fat in the abdomen and the sides, hips, and lower back. Check out some of the situations in which you might consider extended tummy tuck surgery in Turkey:

• Significant weight loss
• Multiple pregnancies
• Aging
• Comprehensive body shaping desire

Are You a Good Candidate for an Extended Tummy Tuck?

If you have excess skin and fat on your abdomen, sides, buttocks, or lower back, you are the ideal candidate for an extended tummy tuck in Turkey. This procedure helps remove unwanted textures. It is also essential to have a stable weight before considering this tummy tuck. Significant weight gain or loss after the procedure can significantly affect the procedure's results and may require additional surgery.

Being in good general health is imperative before undergoing any surgical procedure. This includes not smoking and not having an underlying medical condition that could affect recovery. You should also have realistic expectations for the results of this type of tummy tuck surgery. While the procedure can help you achieve a more toned and sculpted look, it isn’t a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise. Recovery after this procedure may take several weeks, and you must follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications.

Other Tummy Tuck Options

Many options for tummy tuck surgery may suit your individual needs and goals. Check out other tummy tuck options in general:

Full Abdominoplasty

In the full abdominoplasty procedure, a traditional or standard tummy tuck, the surgeon improves the abdomen's appearance by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscles. This method is a good option for patients who have lost significant weight, have excess skin and fat due to pregnancy or aging, or have a weak abdominal wall.

Mini Abdominoplasty

Mini abdominoplasty is a much less invasive form of tummy tuck that addresses excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen. It can be a good option for patients with less skin, excess fat, and good abdominal muscles.

It's crucial to follow to your surgeon's instructions for post-operative car. Expect minor bruising and swelling, which should go away with time. Additionally, the incisions will leave noticeable scars on your body that will eventually disappear. To reduce the risk of infection, it's crucial to keep the incision site dry and clean.

What Will My Tummy Tuck Incisions and Scars be like?

It takes at least 12 months for the scar of a tummy tuck to mature fully. Your appearance can also change significantly during this process. It is normal to have swelling and bruises along your incision line during your healing process.

A tummy tuck scar generally appears very thin and white immediately after the procedure (usually, you may not be able to see it because of the dressing). This trail then progresses from deep purple to red, then pink. Then it gradually turns pale purple and finally white. This is a typical form of scar progression, so we recommend not focusing on your scar while it's healing.

Your Consultation

A tummy tuck consultation in Turkey is the first step in your process of undergoing surgery. During the consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your general health and discuss your aesthetic goals. In addition, the specialist will decide whether he is a suitable candidate for this procedure.

The consultation will typically begin with discussing of your medical history and any previous surgeries you may have had. The surgeon will also assess your abdomen for excess skin, fat, and muscle laxity. Based on this assessment, the surgeon will recommend the type of tummy tuck best suited to your needs.

During the consultation, don’t hesitate to ask questions or raise concerns about the procedure. It is essential to have realistic expectations and understand the limitations of surgery.

On the Day of Tummy Tuck Surgery

On the day of your tummy tuck surgery, you should usually be at the surgical facility a few hours before your scheduled time with your surgeon. You will then meet with your surgeon and anesthesiologist.

The anesthesiologist will explain your anesthesia process and answer any questions you may have. If you want, doctors can give you medication to help you relax and prepare for surgery. After you enter the operating room, the surgical staff will prepare you for surgery by cleaning your skin and covering you with sterile drapes.

Aftercare, Follow-up Checks, and Recovery

Care and recovery after an extended tummy tuck in Turkey are critical to ensure proper healing and minimize complications. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions to follow. You must rest and avoid strenuous activities for the first few days after surgery. Depending on the nature of your job, plan to take at least one to two weeks off work.

You will feel some discomfort after the surgery. However, your surgeon will provide pain medication to help manage it. Follow the expert's instructions carefully and take only the required amount. A compression garment is typically offered after surgery to reduce swelling and support the healing tissues. Dress according to your surgeon's instructions.

Smoking can slow the healing process and increase the risk of complications. Avoid smoking or using nicotine products for at least four weeks after surgery. Finally, eating a balanced diet can help recovery and prevent complications.

Immediately After Tummy Tuck

Immediately after the tummy tuck, the surgical team will take you to a recovery room, where the specialist will monitor you until you are stable and alert. You may feel sluggish and experience some discomfort or pain. Your surgeon will provide pain medication to relieve pain or discomfort.

You will have dressings or bandages at your incision site, and the surgeon will wrap your abdomen in a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing tissues. You may also have small tubes called drains placed under the skin to remove excess fluid and blood.

Recovery Process After a Tummy Tuck

Recovery after tummy tuck surgery in Turkey can take several weeks, and you should carefully follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Check out the recovery process after tummy tuck:

• Getting plenty of rest for the first few days after surgery is essential. You should avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for at least six weeks.
• You must wear a compression garment for a few weeks after surgery. Compression clothing helps reduce swelling and support healing tissues.

If your surgeon has placed drainage tubes under your skin, they will need to be drained regularly and will remove when drainage slows.

The aim of this article is to give you general information about the surgical intervention in question. You need to make more research about the possible complications and risks of this selected procedure in order to make an informed decision. Please note that complications occur more frequently with patients who are obese, smoke, and have a history of lung or other chronic underlying medical conditions.

Smokers are recognized to have a significantly higher risk of postoperative wound healing problems with a subsequently higher potential of infection as well as operative and post-operative bleeding. Patients should discontinue smoking for two weeks before and two weeks after surgery. Although it helps to stop smoking before and after surgery, this does not completely eliminate the increased risks resulting from long­ term smoking. Smoking also has long-term adverse effects on the skin and the aging process.
