Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty): What Is It, What Are the Applications and Procedures, Frequently Asked Questions

Basically, the process of strengthening the weakened abdominal wall by removing excess fat and sagging skin in the anterior part of the abdomen is applied for both men and women who cannot get results with practices such as sports or diet. After this surgery, you will have a flat tummy and a tighter abdominal wall. Although the surgical scar varies according to the amount of sagging and waist structure of the person, it usually stays in underwear. The second important reason for cracks and sagging in the abdomen is rapid weight gain and weight loss.
