Tummy Tuck Surgery

It is an operation we perform under general anesthesia. First, we start the operation with liposuction, then we remove the sagging skin and adipose tissue in an ellipse style, and if necessary, we repair the muscles on the anterior abdominal wall as if we are making a kind of corset.

We stretch the upper skin downwards and combine it with the skin in the lower region. In the meantime, we reopen a new belly button through the skin stretched from top to bottom.
