Circumferential-360 degree- abdominoplasty is a surgery that is mostly applied to patients who are bariatric surgery (weakening gastrointestinal surgeries, gastric banding or gastric balloon surgery) or who can lose weight with their own efforts and have significant sagging in their entire body, including the back of the waist and buttocks. With this surgery, a circumferential incision is made on the patient's waist, while stretching is performed on the back of the waist, both sides of the waist and abdomen, while some patients can also perform butt lift and enlargement from their own tissues.

After circumferential abdominoplasty, a lifting effect is seen on the thighs and buttocks.

All-around body lift operations, which can also be applied to sagging abdomen and waist circumferences of male patients, are performed under general anesthesia and the average operation time is 4-6 hours.

After this surgery, you can see 2-4 tubes coming out of the lower part of your seam in the lower abdomen and on the sides, and plastic medical materials called “drains” at their ends. These are placed in order to prevent the accumulation of blood and other tissue fluids in the surgical field and are usually 1-3 days after surgery. They are removed by your doctor the next day. You don't need to be afraid, they don't hurt much when they are removed and you can take a bath 1-2 days after they are removed. Perhaps, if waterproof dressing material is used, it may be possible to take a bath earlier.

After the circumferential abdominoplasty operation, the patient is discharged within 1-2 days and if possible, he/she lies with the feet and head elevated for a few weeks and walks 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 above-mentioned times have been written with more in mind the circumferential abdominoplasty procedure and the times may vary depending on the technique to be used.

Although the effects of all-round body lift surgery are permanent, patients should stay in shape by eating healthy and doing sports. Because after the surgery, excessive weight gain and/or pregnancy (possible and harmless for the baby or the mother) may adversely affect the aesthetic results. In addition, these procedures never prevent the patient from becoming pregnant and do not have any negative effects on pregnancy.

Although the process after circumferential abdominoplasty is not very painful thanks to the long-acting painkillers used, pain levels vary between patients and can be controlled with drugs.

Circumferential abdominoplasty 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 all-around body lift aesthetics prices for the most accurate prices.

If there is fluid accumulation in the surgical field in the short term after the operation, the problem of enlargement and swelling of the scars may occur in the long term. These are rare complications with solutions.

Dear patients, there may be contradictory information about body lift from your surroundings, but the right thing is to always talk to a plastic surgeon, trust the information he will give and follow his recommendations.
