| Content | A mini tummy tuck is a good option for patients who have excess weight in the abdomen, whose skin is too loose for liposuction to be performed alone, but who is too tight to require a full tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck is a frequently preferred method in patients who are not overweight, as it causes shorter scars and faster post-operative recovery.
What is a mini tummy tuck (mini-abdominoplasty)?
In the mini tummy tuck process, excess fat is removed from the entire abdomen and waist area, excess skin under the navel is removed, but no stretching is performed on the part above the navel.
Who can have a mini tummy tuck?
Mini tummy tuck is applied to patients who have given birth but whose skin and excess fat are limited below the navel. Patients with a high navel are also suitable candidates for a mini tummy tuck.
How are mini tummy tuck surgeries performed?
In the mini tummy tuck procedure, liposuction is first applied to the entire abdomen and waist area. In the meantime, if necessary, fat injection is made into the buttocks. The abdominal skin is lifted from the abdominal wall up to the navel. If necessary, the loosened abdominal muscles are stitched together and the lower part of the abdominal wall is tightened. Then, the excess part of the skin under the belly button is removed.
Is it necessary to lose weight before mini tummy tuck surgery?
Excess weight poses a risk to all surgeries. After the operation, patients stand up more difficult, their wounds heal later, and lung problems are experienced more frequently. For this reason, obese patients are recommended to reduce their weight before surgery.
Is anesthesia required in mini tummy tuck surgeries?
Abdominoplasty operations are performed in the operating room environment and under general anesthesia or heavy sedatives.
How long does tummy tuck surgery take?
The procedures to be performed determine the duration of the surgery. If liposuction will not be applied to a very large area, mini tummy tuck surgery takes between one and two hours.
What happens after mini tummy tuck surgery?
During the operation, a drain is often placed on the patients and an abdominal corset is worn. The patient is fed and stood up three to four hours after surgery. Usually the patient is discharged the same or the next day. If necessary, the drains are left in place for a few more days. Since all the sutures are left under the skin, there is no need for suture removal. Two to three days after surgery, patients can go back to their normal life. After six weeks, all sports activities are free. |

| Aesthetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty) or nose reshaping surgery is the most commonly applied plastic surgery. With aesthetic nose surgery, it is possible to reduce or enlarge your nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge of the nose, narrow the width of your nostrils or change the angle between your nose and upper lip. At the same time, if you have a congenital or injury-related deformity, it can be corrected or some breathing problems can be eliminated. | During pregnancy, due to sudden growth in the abdomen or as a result of weight gain or loss, sagging in the abdomen, cracks, etc. There are some undesirable changes. Abdominal stretching helps to reduce these complaints. In fact, the patients with the best results are those who have come because of their sagging after weight loss. Although it is not possible for all the cracks on the abdomen to disappear in tummy tuck surgeries, it is possible to reduce them even more. There is no doubt that it is appropriate to perform this type of surgery by Aesthetic and Plastic surgery specialists, in appropriate operating room conditions and when all conditions that protect the patient are met. | Today, we cannot talk about that only women prefer face lift operations, which are commonly performed for aesthetic concerns. Face lift procedures, which are also very popular among men of our age, are mostly preferred to recover skin loosening and sagging on the face after a certain age. It is not quite right to talk about an age restriction for facelift procedures, because it is sufficient for the person to feel his own face aged and to detect that the face has lost its dynamics as a result of the examination. |
