Question 1

Why are these surgeries needed?

Accepted Answer

After a long and grueling weight loss process, patients still have not achieved the body they desire and for which they have put a great deal of effort and effort. Because excess skin that restricts movement, deformed, sagging is still annoying and demotivating.
Sagging and deformed excess skin on the abdomen after multiple pregnancies and excessive weight gain is one of the reasons for applying for this surgery.

Question 2

Who Can Benefit From These Surgeries? When Should It Be Done?

Accepted Answer

In these surgeries, your body should have taken its final shape in weight.
If the patient has lost weight with the obesity surgery method or diet and sports method, the patient should have reached the target weight and remained at this weight for 3 months. And with the doctor's examination, the operation process can be planned.
If the patient has had sagging and deformities due to weight gain and loss for a long time and lives in a constant weight range, he can be examined for surgery at any time and the surgery is performed if his doctor deems it appropriate.
If the patient has had successive or multiple pregnancies, severe deformities can be observed, especially in the abdomen. After the breastfeeding process is over, the surgery process can be planned with a doctor's examination, with a weight range close to his old weight.

Question 3

How should these surgeries be planned?

Accepted Answer

If there is a problem in a single area, the planning of the operation and the operation period are shorter. For example, if the patient has excess skin only in the abdomen and some back, the operation with a full tummy tuck is planned with a single operation.
If there is skin sagging and deformation in more than one area, these surgeries are planned at 6-month intervals. Because postbariatric weight loss surgeries are longer and more painful operations than other aesthetic surgeries. Planning all surgeries together will extend the duration of the operation, prolong the duration of anesthesia, reduce surgical success, and increase complications.

Your room is reserved for you on the morning of the operation. After you settle into your room in the morning, your doctor and his assistant will visit you in your room.
The operation starts at the specified time. Since the operation will be performed with general anesthesia, you will sleep comfortably and your doctor will begin to shape your body.

In general, we recommend walking for 30 minutes a day at a light pace 2 weeks after the surgery.
We recommend that they start sports without forcing with light stretching and pilates movements 4 weeks after tummy tuck surgeries. If there is no other operation planned after 2 months, they can do all sports easily. In the early period, compelling movements may cause herniation.

Question 9

Can Post Bariatric Surgery be planned together with other surgeries?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, major postbariatric surgery operations are long-lasting and large tissue removals are performed. In fact, it is not planned with a single operation, but with a 2-3-stage operation sequence.
Mini tummy tuck and minimal breast lift surgeries, in which less tissue is removed, can be planned together if the health condition is available.
