Surgical technique
Procedures are sequenced for safety — typically breast work first, then abdomen with liposuction. Total operative time is kept under 6–7 hours with a dedicated anaesthesia team.
Standard combination: full tummy tuck with diastasis repair + breast lift (with or without implants) + 360° liposuction. The exact mix is tailored to your anatomy and goals.
When performed by an experienced surgeon in an accredited hospital with a dedicated anaesthesia team, combined procedures are safe and offer significant advantages over staged surgeries.

Pre-op tests, surgery, hospital stay, medications, garments, VIP airport transfers, luxury hotel accommodation, translator support and follow-up care via WhatsApp with Dr. Barutcu.
Plan for 7-10 days in Istanbul. Day 1 is your face-to-face consultation and pre-operative tests, surgery follows on day 2, your hospital stay is 2 nights, and the remaining days cover dressing changes, drain removal and a final check with Dr. Barutcu before you fly home.
Desk work 2–3 weeks · Gym 8 weeks. Swelling and bruising settle over the first 2-3 weeks; most patients feel socially presentable within 10-14 days and return to full activity gradually under Dr. Barutcu's guidance.
Most patients are cleared to fly 7-10 days after surgery, once drains are removed and the wounds are healing well. On the flight you wear your compression garment, walk every hour and stay well hydrated to reduce clot risk.
It is not mandatory - our team handles airport transfers, hospital admission, translation and hotel check-in - but a companion is recommended for the first 48 hours after surgery, especially for combined body procedures.
Follow-up continues directly with Dr. Barutcu on WhatsApp: you send photos at week 1, week 4, month 3 and month 6, and receive guidance on scar care, compression garments, massage and returning to sport.
