Genital Area Aesthetic Operations Applied to Women
Women Experiencing Sagging Problems After Pregnancy
With the enlargement of the uterus and belly area during pregnancy, there may be sagging problems in the area. This problem, which is especially seen in women who have multiple pregnancies and gain too much weight during pregnancy, is very difficult to eliminate with methods such as exercise. Although exercise helps the lower abdominal muscles to return to their former shape and tighten, it may not eliminate the sagging skin problem. At this point, if mini tummy tuck surgery comes into play, a flat and aesthetic appearance can be achieved in the lower abdomen.
Those Who Lose Too Much Weight
People who are suitable for mini tummy tuck surgery are not limited to women who have sagging problems after pregnancy. The majority of individuals who lose too much weight experience sagging in the lower abdomen. One of the most ideal and effective solutions for this problem is mini tummy tuck operation. With mini tummy tuck, the sagging problem that occurs in the lower abdomen due to weight gain and loss is eliminated.
What Should Be Considered After Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Rest for 7-10 Days
In mini tummy tuck surgery, it is necessary to rest for at least 7-10 days because the abdominal muscles are operated on and the area is damaged. Since even standing up can cause the abdominal muscles to tense, it is necessary to lie down and rest as much as possible during this period.
Being Careful When Bending After a Rest Period
After mini tummy tuck surgery, it is necessary to be careful not only during the 7-10 day rest period but also after this period. After mini tummy tuck surgery, it is necessary to avoid movements that can cause stretching of the lower abdomen, especially bending movements, and to be careful when performing these movements after obtaining the doctor’s approval. Otherwise, the stitches in the lower abdomen may open and infection may occur.
1 - 1.5 months without lifting weights
Intra-abdominal pressure increases in weight lifting movements. Increased intra-abdominal pressure can be a very dangerous situation after mini tummy tuck surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful not to lift any weight during the 1 – 1.5 month period after mini tummy tuck surgery. Otherwise, as a result of situations such as increased intra-abdominal pressure and stretching of the stitches, hernia formation or bleeding may occur.
2 Month Abstinence from Abdominal Muscle Exercises
After mini tummy tuck surgery, individuals may make the mistake of turning to abdominal muscle exercises in order to have a much more aesthetic abdominal appearance and to increase the aesthetic results of the surgery. However, turning to abdominal muscle exercises, especially in the 2-month period after surgery, means putting more strain on the already damaged abdominal area. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid abdominal muscle exercises such as sit-ups for at least 2 months.
Using a Corset for 3 - 4 Weeks
After the mini tummy tuck surgery, you need to use the corset recommended by your doctor for 3-4 weeks. Thanks to this corset, situations such as fluid accumulation between tissues and postoperative sagging problems can be prevented. The corset wearing period can be extended or shortened in line with the recommendations of the plastic surgery specialist.
Avoiding Sudden Weight Gain
Sudden weight gain is a condition that reduces the effect of surgeries performed for sagging problems, including mini tummy tuck surgery. If you gain weight suddenly after mini tummy tuck surgery, especially during the healing process, you may experience both aesthetic and health problems due to increased tension and fat tissue in the abdominal area. You can maintain your weight after tummy tuck surgery by eating healthy and doing exercises such as small walks with the approval of your doctor.

However, since the mini tummy tuck operation is a much more minimal operation compared to standard tummy tuck surgery and is performed through a smaller incision, it creates a small scar. The mini tummy tuck scar is usually small and indistinct. In addition, the incision that will cause a scar is adjusted to be hidden under the underwear, so that this scar can be prevented from being seen.
