Tummy Tuck
A comprehensive contouring procedure that addresses skin laxity and abdominal muscle separation together to deliver a flatter, firmer abdominal line.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that comprehensively addresses the loose skin, separated muscles and excess fat tissue of the abdominal area following pregnancy, significant weight loss or aging. The result is a balanced abdominal structure both aesthetically and functionally.
Op. Dr. Emre Yılmazer evaluates skin excess, muscle condition and navel position together for each patient. He plans the most suitable approach — mini, full or extended — and, when needed, Liposuction can be combined in a single session.
Who Is It Suitable For?
A tummy tuck is a personalized procedure. A consultation can be planned in the following situations.
- Those experiencing abdominal skin laxity following pregnancy or weight loss
- Patients with separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Individuals unable to resolve abdominal contour issues despite diet and exercise
- Adults who have quit or controlled smoking and are in suitable health
- Individuals with realistic expectations who can adapt to the recovery process
- Patients who do not plan a pregnancy in the near future
Important note: Each patient comes with a different anatomy, skin structure and expectation. The procedure to be performed, the technique to be applied and the results are only finalized after a face-to-face medical evaluation.
