Tummy Tuck After Pregnancy
How abdominoplasty can help restore your pre-pregnancy body and boost your confidence as a new mother.
Pregnancy brings wonderful changes to a woman's life, but it can also leave lasting changes to the body — particularly the abdominal area. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is one of the most effective ways to restore a flat, toned midsection after pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles can separate (a condition called diastasis recti), and the skin stretches beyond its ability to bounce back. A tummy tuck addresses both issues by tightening the muscles and removing excess skin and fat.
Prof. Dr. Nazım Durak recommends waiting at least 6-12 months after delivery before considering a tummy tuck, and ideally until you've finished having children. This ensures your body has fully recovered and that your results will be long-lasting.
The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours and requires 2-4 weeks of recovery. Dr. Durak uses techniques that place the incision low enough to be hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. Many patients combine a tummy tuck with liposuction for enhanced body contouring results, often referred to as a 'mommy makeover.'
