Tummy Tuck in Turkey — Abdominoplasty with Muscle Repair

A flat, contoured abdomen — restored after pregnancy, weight loss or time.

Surgical Technique

Full Abdominoplasty with Diastasis Repair

Full abdominoplasty addresses skin, fat and muscle. Diastasis recti is repaired with permanent sutures. High-definition VASER liposuction is added to flanks and upper abdomen for athletic contour.

Mini vs full tummy tuck

Mini tummy tuck addresses only below-umbilicus skin and a small scar. Full abdominoplasty is required when muscle separation or upper abdominal laxity is present.

Recovery timeline

Compression garment 6 weeks. Walk on day 1. Desk work week 2. Lymphatic drainage massage from week 2 accelerates recovery.
