abdominoplasty Tummy tuck Surgery in Antalya Turkey
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in Antalya Turkey is a plastic surgery procedure that tightens, flattens and smoothes your abdomen. Our plastic surgeon will remove excess fat and sagging skin and tighten the muscles in your abdominal wall. Our plastic surgeon may also use liposuction to improve your results.
The purpose of surgery is to remove excess sagging skin in the abdominal area that cannot be removed by exercise (for example, excess skin caused by pregnancy or excessive weight loss).
It is not a quick fix for losing weight, as the procedure is generally only recommended for people with a suitable and healthy body mass index.
Please contact us to find out whether you are suitable for this surgery.
What is the BMI cut-off for abdominoplasty?
To qualify for any excision surgery, including abdominoplasty, patients must have a BMI (body mass index) below 30. Our surgeons consider patients with a BMI over 30 to be suitable because they have a lower risk of wound disruption, skin necrosis, infection, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
Is it safe to get a tummy tuck in Turkey?
The most common complications were hematoma, blood clots, and infection. For this reason, we ask the necessary questions to all our patients who are considering having a tummy tuck surgery in Turkey, and when they arrive, we do all blood tests free of charge.
Please contact us and sent your photos and text about your health status.
Abdominoplasty Recovery and Results In the first week following tummy tuck surgery, patients can travel to their country. Our patients who stay in the hospital on the day of surgery can usually take a shower three or four days later. To reduce edema, patients need to maintain a low sodium diet and stay hydrated. The best results will be seen when edema decreases.
A standard tummy tuck scar occurs around the belly button but is not noticeable. The other incision involves an incision below the navel and above the groin area, extending from hip to hip. This scar is usually easily hidden in the underwear line. It is not visible even when wearing a bikini.
Sometimes the answer is a straightforward yes. However, this will depend on how much fat and skin is present to begin with, how much muscle the patient has underneath, and other factors. So send us your pictures.
