These images are shared for informational purposes only, with the written consent of our patients. Shared results are personal; Each patient's anatomy, healing process and results may vary.

What Do Photos Show?

Basic topics evaluated after abdominoplasty: It is the flattening of the abdominal contour, the clearer appearance of the waist line, the recovery of sagging skin and the planning of the incision line to remain within the underwear. Photos reflect not only the final appearance but also the quality of the planning.

What Doesn't It Show Alone?

Photography alone does not convey the quality of the tissue, abdominal wall strength, the effect of muscle repair, or the patient experience during the healing process. Therefore, when looking at the results, not only the "before-after difference" but also the patient's initial anatomy should be taken into account.

When examining patient results, incision scar, contour, symmetry and general body proportion should be read together. Good result; It is not just the correction of one area, but the balancing of the entire silhouette.

Face-to-face examination is absolutely necessary for diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluation of expectations. The best approach is to see photographs as an inspirational reference; It is not to be interpreted as a literal promise.
