Torsoplasty is an operation to beautify and tighten the abdomen, waist and breast regions, which are deformed and sagging after birth. Although it is usually applied to mothers who have given birth, it is also applied to patients who have sagging after excessive weight loss or age-related sagging.
With torsoplasty, breasts can be make smaller, lifted or enlarged as needed. In addition, abdominoplasty, waist thinning, liposuction and filling the needed areas (butt, breast, etc.) are performed in the same session.
Torsoplasty operations are performed under general anesthesia and the average operation time is 5-7 hours. These times may vary depending on the procedures to be performed.
After this surgery, if necessary, you can see 2-4 tubes coming out of the lower part of your seam on the sides of the breast and lower abdomen, and plastic medical materials called “drains” at their ends. These are placed in the surgical field to prevent the accumulation of blood and other tissue fluids and are usually removed by your doctor within 2-3 days after the operation. You don't need to be afraid, they don't hurt much when they are removed and you can take a bath 1 day after they are removed. If waterproof dressing material is used, you can take a bath earlier.
After the torsoplasty operation, you can leave the hospital within 1-2 days and if possible lie down with the feet and head kept high for a few weeks and walk with a slight forward bend for 7-10 days. Abdominal corset is used for up to 4 weeks. Usually 10-15 days of rest is sufficient and patients return to their daily lives with their corsets. After 3-4 weeks, doing sit-ups that will force the abdominal region, etc. They can do sports other than exercises, but heavy exercises are prohibited for 6 weeks.
The times mentioned above are mostly written with the Torsoplasty procedure in mind and the times may vary depending on the technique to be used.
Although the effects of torsoplasty surgery are permanent, patients should stay in shape by eating healthy and doing sports. Because after the surgery, excessive weight gain and/or re-pregnancy (possible and harmless for the baby or the mother) may negatively affect the aesthetic results. In addition, these procedures never prevent the patient from getting pregnant again and do not have any negative effects on a new pregnancy.
Although the process after torsoplasty aesthetics is not very painful thanks to the long-acting painkillers used, pain levels vary between patients and can be controlled with drugs.
Torsoplasty operation prices vary due to many variables (technique and difficulty to be applied, anesthesia to be used, hospital where the operation will be performed, etc.) and therefore, ask your doctor about torsoplasty plastic surgery prices for the most accurate prices.
