Are unable to lose excess fat after dieting and exercising and find your protruding tummy disproportionate to the rest of your figure.

You have loose skin and muscles because of genetics.

Had a baby and are left with stretched, sagging skin and are experiencing diastasis recti due to tearing of the muscles in the anterior abdominal wall.

Have achieved your ideal weight (since it is not a weight loss surgery) and aren’t planning any pregnancies in the future.

You have poor posture and are experiencing pain in the back from excess skin.

How Best To Prepare For A Tummy Tuck in Turkey?

Inform the surgeon about any previous abdominal surgeries that you’ve had, your medical history, and any active treatments and medications that you’re on.

Process of a
Abdominoplasty in Turkey

Preparation

Schedule a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and suitability for the procedure. We will check if you are a good candidate for surgery with blood tests and scans.
You may need to make lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking and avoiding specific medications, to prepare for the surgery.
Plan your travel and accommodation in Turkey, ensuring you have a comfortable place to recover post-surgery.

Steps of the Procedure

The procedure begins with the administration of general anesthesia to ensure comfort during surgery.
An incision is made in the lower abdomen, typically from hip to hip, just above the pubic area. A second incision may be made around the navel if necessary.
The underlying abdominal muscles are tightened and repaired to create a firmer abdominal wall.
The surgeon removes excess skin and fat. Remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, tighter appearance. If necessary, the navel is repositioned to ensure a natural look.
The incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings are applied to protect the area.

Full Tummy Tuck vs. Mini Tummy Tuck in Turkey

PIncision Size and Placement
Incision for a full tummy tuck typically runs from hip to hip, just above the pubic area. Another incision is often made around the navel to free it from surrounding tissue.
The incision for a mini tummy tuck is much shorter, typically just above the pubic region. There is usually no incision around the navel.
Extent of Surgery
The full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area, both above and below the belly button. It involves the removal of a significant amount of excess skin and fat. Abdominal muscles are tightened from the pubic area up to the ribcage.
The mini tummy tuck focuses on the area below the belly button. It involves the removal of a smaller amount of excess skin and fat. Only the lower abdominal muscles are tightened.
Navel Repositioning
The belly button is repositioned due to the extensive removal of skin.
The navel usually does not need to be repositioned.
Recovery Time
Recovery time is generally longer, often taking several weeks to a few months for full recovery. It involves more postoperative care and a higher level of discomfort initially.
Recovery time is generally shorter, often taking a few weeks for full recovery. Postoperative care is less intensive, and there is typically less discomfort.
Ideal Candidates
Suitable for individuals with a significant amount of loose skin, stretch marks, and weakened abdominal muscles. Often chosen by those who have undergone significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies.
Suitable for individuals with a smaller amount of loose skin and fat localized below the belly button. Often chosen by those who are generally fit but have a small pouch of fat and loose skin in the lower abdomen.

Possible Side Effects After Tummy Tuck

Bleeding

This can result from the reopening of the wounds. Usually, it’s only a slight opening and heals on its own after some time.

Scarring

Removing excess skin leaves scars. They may be red at first but will fade. It can take over a year. If the scar is getting worse, contact the surgeon.

Pain, Bruising & Swelling

Pain and bruising are common. It will go away after some time. Swelling can take around 6 months to go away. That’s why you can see the final results of a tummy tuck sometime after the surgery.

Numbness

You may feel numb along the incision lines and even above the surgical area for weeks to a few months. Rarely, it can also be permanent in some abdominoplasty patients.

Pulling Sensation

You may feel tight and experience a pulling sensation. It can take a few weeks for you to start getting used to your flat abdomen.

Itching & Bumps

For a few days after the surgery, you may feel itchy in the surgical area. It’s just your skin trying to heal. Moreover, you may notice small bumps, which develop because your body is trying to get rid of damaged cells. This will resolve on its own.
