Pre-Operative Instructions for Tummy Tuck

Before tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery at NY HEALTH, certain preparatory steps must be followed to ensure a safe surgical process and successful results.

Consultation and medical evaluation: During the initial consultation, our expert surgeons evaluate your general health status, listen to your aesthetic expectations, and determine the most suitable tummy tuck method for you.
Smoking: Smoking can negatively affect healing and increase the risk of complications. Therefore, smoking must be stopped at least 2 weeks before and after the surgery.
Blood thinners: Aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and certain supplements should be stopped at least 7 days before the surgery (under doctor supervision).
Hydration: Adequate water consumption supports the recovery process both before and after the surgery.
Recovery preparation: A companion should be arranged to take you home after the surgery, support should be set up for the first few days, and comfortable clothing should be prepared.

Post-Operative Instructions for Tummy Tuck

Post-operative care at NY HEALTH is of great importance for a healthy and comfortable recovery process.

Compression corset: A compression corset must be used for a few weeks after surgery. This reduces swelling and helps the abdominal area adapt to its new shape.
Physical activity: Light walks are recommended in the first days. However, heavy exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 6–8 weeks.
Nutrition and hydration: A balanced diet rich in protein supports healing. Drinking plenty of water helps reduce swelling.
Medication use: Painkillers and antibiotics prescribed by the surgeon must be used regularly.
Follow-ups: Regular follow-up appointments are important for monitoring recovery, and the process is closely supervised by the surgeon.

Tummy Tuck vs. Mini Tummy Tuck vs. 360-Degree Tummy Tuck - What Are the Differences?

At NY HEALTH, different abdominal aesthetics options are offered depending on the needs of patients. These procedures differ in terms of target area and surgical scope.

Full Tummy Tuck (Traditional Abdominoplasty): Full tummy tuck is the removal of excess skin and fat in the upper and lower abdominal areas, while also tightening the abdominal muscles. It is generally preferred for patients with significant skin sagging, stretch marks, muscle laxity, or deformities after pregnancy or major weight loss, providing a more comprehensive correction.

Mini Tummy Tuck: A mini tummy tuck is a more limited procedure focusing only on the area below the belly button (lower abdomen). It is suitable for cases with mild skin excess, sagging only in the lower abdomen, and minimal muscle laxity. It is performed with a smaller incision and generally offers a faster recovery process.

360-Degree Tummy Tuck (Extended Abdominoplasty): A 360-degree tummy tuck is one of the most comprehensive options, shaping the abdomen, waist, and flanks together. It is preferred for patients with widespread excess skin in the abdominal, waist, and flank areas, especially after major weight loss, and who want comprehensive body contouring. This method provides a more dramatic and holistic body shaping.

Recovery Time for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Although the recovery process after tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) at NY HEALTH varies from person to person, it generally progresses as follows:

01

First week

Swelling, bruising, and mild:to:moderate discomfort are normal. During this period, resting, avoiding sudden movements, and following the surgeon's recommendations are very important.

02

2

4 weeks: Most patients can return to light daily activities and work during this period. Swelling gradually decreases, and the initial recovery of the abdominal area begins to be observed. However, heavy exercises should be avoided.

03

3

6 months: As swelling completely subsides and tissues heal, final results become prominent. The abdominal region gains a flatter, firmer, and more aesthetic appearance.

Tummy Tuck Scarring

In tummy tuck surgeries, an incision line is formed in the lower abdominal area. However, with the techniques applied at NY HEALTH, this scar:

01

Is usually positioned to remain under undergarments or swimwear

02

Loses its prominence over time

03

Becomes even less visible with proper care

04

Following the surgeon's recommendations during the healing process plays an important role in minimizing the appearance of the scar.
