Indications for
Breast Augmentation
Considerations for breast augmentation may include the following circumstances:
• Naturally small breasts: When the natural breast size leaves a patient feeling unsatisfied with their appearance.
• Post-childbirth and breastfeeding: Pregnancy often causes breasts to enlarge, but once breastfeeding concludes, the breasts may deflate, resulting in a loss of elasticity and shape. In such instances, breast augmentation, possibly coupled with a breast lift, can restore the previous look.
• Following significant weight loss: Rapid weight loss can lead to breasts losing their previous fullness.
• Asymmetry: This could be due to injury, hormonal imbalances, or genetic factors.
• Aging: As women age, their bodies produce less collagen and elastin – essential proteins for skin elasticity.
Consequently, breasts can sag, and stretch marks may develop on the surface.
Even women with larger busts may consider this procedure. Over time, the weight of larger breasts can cause them to droop and sag. Through breast augmentation, the shape can be adjusted to appear more lifted and youthful.
As always, any decisions related to surgical interventions should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional who can adequately assess your specific needs and risks.

HOW MANY DAYS DO I NEED TO STAY FOR SURGERY IN TURKEY?The first day in Turkey will take you to check in at the hotel, and the next day we will take you to the clinic for abdominoplasty. The operation lasts 4-5 hours, after which you will be left in the hospital under the supervision of specialists for 3-4 days. In the absence of complications, patients are discharged, but for another 5 days it is recommended to observe bed rest. The stitches will be removed approximately on the 9th day.

HOW DO I UNDERSTAND THAT I NEED A TUMMY TUCK, AND NOT JUST LIPOSUCTION?Abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, possible stretch marks in this area, as well as restoring weakened muscles. The procedure is not to lose weight, but to remove excess skin and fat that may remain after rapid weight loss or repeated pregnancies. Therefore, if you see flabby skin or excess fat deposits when examining your body, you can safely sign up for a consultation with us.
-
IS LIPOSUCTION DONE WITH ABDOMINOPLASTY?Rarely, abdominoplasty is performed separately from liposuction. This is due to the fact that liposuction, which is a procedure of aspiration of fats from certain parts of the body, helps to form a silhouette, preventing an unnatural appearance of the abdomen after surgery. It is important that the doctor assess whether there is a need or whether liposuction is indicated in combination with abdominoplasty in each case.
-
WILL I HAVE MY ABDOMINAL MUSCLES STITCHED (DIASTASIS SUTURED)?With classical abdominoplasty, in addition to the main ones, another incision is made around the navel, since it cannot be removed. The abdominal muscles are exposed and stitched, bringing them closer, thinning the waist and eliminating abdominal diastasis. Then the removed skin is finally separated from the patient`s body, and what remains of the tissue is pulled down and reconnected with the incision, closing the wound. Stitching of the abdominal muscles is not required only for mini-abdominoplasty.
-
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PROCESS AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?The postoperative period is considered by many to be the most difficult part of abdominoplasty, since recovery can be relatively long. On average, it takes a patient from 10 days to gradually return to normal activities. Highly qualified surgeons recommend avoiding large efforts and activities that require excessive stress and exertion for four months after surgery. During the rehabilitation period, the patient must strictly follow the doctor`s prescriptions, including treating scars.
-
IN HOW MANY DAYS WILL I RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFESTYLE?After abdominoplasty, the patient needs at least 10 days of complete rest. In some cases, doctors prescribe complete rest for at least 15 days. After this time, the patient can return to work, but full recovery takes from 2 to 4 months. With individual physiological characteristics of the patient, the recovery process may take longer. Rehabilitation is also longer if other operations, such as liposuction and mammoplasty, were performed shortly before or together with abdominoplasty.
-
WILL I HAVE A BIG SCAR?During abdominoplasty, scarring cannot be avoided. It is usually not very large and is located at the base of the abdomen, just above the groin area. But it is easy to hide it under underwear and even under a bikini, especially with mini-abdominoplasty and classical surgery. In addition, over time, the scar becomes less bright. The size of the scar depends on the amount of skin removed during the operation, but experienced surgeons always try to minimize the traces of abdominoplasty.
-
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET RID OF THE SCAR AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?So that the scar does not become more noticeable than it should, or a keloid does not form, which is an excessive growth of tissue, it is important that the patient has a good rest and does not make any effort to the abdominal area during recovery. After the operation, the doctor will give recommendations for rehabilitation, as well as prescribe special creams or ointments that will help make the scar as invisible as possible. Modern cosmetics help not to completely get rid of scars, but to make them barely noticeable.

WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY?The patient has a list of recommendations from the attending physician. Most of the possible complications are associated with non-compliance with medical advice during rehabilitation and ignoring visible signs of deterioration of health. Risks that are likely to be encountered: • Purulent inflammation. It is observed when hygiene and antiseptics are not observed during dressing; • Violation of the integrity of the stitch. It is possible with the assumption of physical exertion in the postoperative phase; • Edema. It happens after any operation, but if the swelling does not subside for a long period, it is important to consult a doctor immediately; • Lymphorrhea (fluid accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue in the area of the scar and a focus of inflammation forms when the capillaries rupture; this occurs when ignoring the need to wear compression underwear). In the Plastic Surgery Turkey Group clinic, where competent plastic surgeons with extensive practice and many years of experience work, the risk of complications after abdominoplasty is almost zero. Clear and consistent compliance with the recommendations allows you to avoid negative consequences and even shorten the rehabilitation period.
