What is Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to create a firmer, more toned abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles. A Tummy Tuck is a great way to acheive a transformative yet natural-looking result for someone looking to restore their shape after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or simply enhance body contours.
The procedure typically involves a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, allowing expert surgeons to remove excess skin, reposition the muscles for a firmer core, and sculpt a smoother, more contoured waistline. Our highly skilled partner surgeons in Turkey use advanced abdominoplasty techniques to ensure minimal scarring and a refined, balanced result, helping you achieve a more confident and sculpted silhouette.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty surgery offers a range of benefits, including:
A firmer, more toned abdomen – By removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles, a tummy tuck creates a flatter, more sculpted midsection. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy, where stretched skin and weakened muscles cannot be addressed through diet and exercise alone.
Enhanced body confidence – Achieving a more contoured and proportionate silhouette can greatly boost self-esteem and body image. Many patients find that they feel more comfortable wearing fitted clothing, swimwear, and enjoying social activities without self-consciousness about their midsection.
Improved posture and core strength – Abdominoplasty tightens the abdominal muscles, which can help improve core stability and reduce strain on the lower back. Strengthening these muscles often leads to better posture and can alleviate discomfort associated with muscle separation (diastasis recti).
Reduction of excess skin and stretch marks – By removing loose, sagging skin, a tummy tuck can significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks, particularly those located on the lower abdomen. This can lead to a smoother, more youthful-looking abdominal area, enhancing overall skin quality and texture.
Long-lasting results – Unlike temporary body contouring treatments, abdominoplasty provides a permanent transformation when combined with a healthy lifestyle. With proper diet and regular exercise, the toned and refined results of the procedure can be maintained for years to come.

Procedure, recovery, risks and aftercare
What Happens During Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles for a firmer, more toned appearance. The surgery typically involves a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area, allowing the surgeon to reposition and tighten the abdominal muscles. Excess skin is carefully removed, and in some cases, liposuction may be used to enhance contouring. Once the desired shape is achieved, the skin is sutured into place, and a compression garment is applied to support the healing process. Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and generally takes between two and four hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
What Does Recovery Look Like?
Following a tummy tuck, you can expect swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, particularly in the lower abdomen. Most patients are encouraged to walk soon after surgery to promote circulation, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks. The initial healing phase typically lasts around two weeks, during which time you may need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your newly contoured abdomen. While visible improvements are noticeable within weeks, it can take several months for swelling to fully subside and for your final results to emerge.
Required Aftercare
Proper aftercare is crucial for a smooth recovery and optimal results following abdominoplasty. Patients should avoid heavy lifting and intense physical activities until cleared by their surgeon. Keeping the incision area clean and dry is essential, and your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your wounds. Regular follow-up appointments, either in person or virtually, will ensure that healing is progressing as expected. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle after surgery will also help preserve your results long-term.
Risks and Side Effects
As with any surgical procedure, a tummy tuck carries some risks and potential side effects. Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, and tightness in the abdominal area, while more serious but rare complications can include infection, fluid buildup, or poor wound healing. Choosing a skilled, accredited surgeon significantly reduces these risks and ensures a safe procedure with well-executed, natural-looking results. Your surgeon will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation so you can make an informed decision before undergoing surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions About Abdominoplasty
Am I a good candidate for abdominoplasty?
A tummy tuck is ideal for individuals who have excess abdominal skin, weakened muscles, or stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. It is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy and want to achieve a firmer, more contoured midsection. You should be in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the procedure
How long does it take to recover from abdominoplasty surgery?
The initial recovery phase lasts around two weeks, during which you should rest and avoid strenuous activity. Most patients can return to light activities after this period, but full recovery, including the ability to exercise and lift heavy objects, may take six to eight weeks. Swelling continues to improve over several months, with final results becoming fully visible after six to twelve months.
Does a tummy tuck help you lose weight?
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body contouring surgery designed to remove excess skin and tighten muscles. While some fat may be removed during the surgery, the primary goal is to create a firmer, more sculpted abdomen. Patients should be close to their ideal weight before undergoing the procedure for the best and longest-lasting results.
Will I have a visible scar after surgery?
Yes, a tummy tuck requires an incision along the lower abdomen, which will leave a scar. However, skilled surgeons strategically place the incision low enough to be hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. Over time, with proper aftercare, the scar will fade significantly, though it may never disappear entirely.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine their tummy tuck with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction or breast augmentation for more comprehensive body contouring. Your surgeon can discuss the best options for your aesthetic goals during your consultation.
Is it safe to have abdominoplasty surgery in Turkey?
We only work with leading, internationally accredited plastic surgeons in Turkey, ensuring that you receive the highest standards of care during your abdominoplasty. The hospitals we partner with adhere to the strictest medical protocols, prioritising patient safety and comfort.
