What is a Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty is one of the body aesthetic operations frequently preferred by women. The operation is required due to deformation and sagging of the skin in the abdominal area due to aging, genetic factors, excessive weight loss or multiple pregnancies. Sagging skin and excess fat in the abdominal area are removed. Tummy Tuck is not a procedure for weight loss. Tummy tuck aims to shape the body and correct its lines. Before the surgery, the patient's expectations, whether he has a health problem, the medication he is using and the surgeries he has had in the past are evaluated under the supervision of the doctor.
