Fat removal is a procedure that can be applied to almost every part of the body. However, it is often applied to the back, waist, hips, abdomen and legs. It can be applied to one or more areas at the same time as needed. It is especially suitable for patients whose regional lubrication continues after weight loss.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

​

Although you have lost birth weight, tummy tuck operation is preferred if sagging in the abdomen and loosening of the skin are very evident.

During pregnancy, as the abdomen grows with the uterus, the abdominal muscles may relax and the abdominal muscles may separate from the midline.

It is a procedure that requires hospitalization. Under general anesthesia, excess fatty tissue from the skin and under the skin is removed with a surgical incision. Abdominal muscles are tightened and recovered. Then the skin is closed with aesthetic sutures. Rest is important during the healing process. It is recommended that patients use a corset for a while after the surgery.
