Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Flatten and tighten the abdomen — Turkey's expert body contouring surgeons

Overview

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes the loose, excess skin and stubborn fat of the abdomen that cannot be addressed by exercise or diet alone — most commonly after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) are also repaired during the procedure. Turkey's body surgeons are highly experienced with this procedure, which is frequently combined with liposuction and, in the case of mommy makeovers, breast surgery as well.

Key Benefits

  • Removes loose, overhanging abdominal skin permanently
  • Repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • Restores a flat, tightened abdominal profile
  • Often combined with liposuction for enhanced sculpting
  • Transformative results for post-pregnancy bodies
  • Major cost saving vs UK or US

Procedure Options

Full Abdominoplasty

Hip-to-hip incision with full skin and muscle repair — the most comprehensive tummy tuck option.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Shorter incision targeting only the lower abdomen below the navel. Suitable for limited skin laxity.

Extended Abdominoplasty

Extends around the flanks to address the love handle area alongside the abdomen.

Fleur-de-Lis (Vertical Abdominoplasty)

Both horizontal and vertical incisions used for patients with significant excess skin in multiple directions (common post-bariatric surgery).

Tummy Tuck + Liposuction (Lipo-Abdominoplasty)

Combined procedure for maximum contouring of the abdomen and flanks simultaneously.

What to Expect

Surgery takes 2–4 hours under general anaesthesia. Drains for 1–3 days post-op. Stay in Turkey for 7–10 days. Compression garment worn for 6–8 weeks. Cannot lift, bend, or strain for 6 weeks.

Recovery Timeline

7–10 days in Turkey. 6 weeks before full activity. Scar matures over 12–18 months.
