About the clinic

Belt lipectomy at Prof. Dr. Furkan Karabekmez Plastic Surgery Clinic in Ankara, Turkey, provides a surgical solution for sagging skin after major weight loss. Prof. Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez uses advanced methods like the Fleur de Lys technique and lipoabdominoplasty to reshape the lower body. Patients benefit from his training at the Mayo Clinic and his certification from the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.

Advanced Body Contouring Techniques

The clinic focuses on circumferential body contouring to address loose skin on the abdomen, waist, and back. Prof. Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez offers specialized methods based on individual needs. The Fleur de Lys abdominoplasty treats severe horizontal skin excess. Lipoabdominoplasty combines traditional skin removal with liposuction to improve body shape. The clinic uses 3D Crisalix simulation, which helps patients preview their expected results before the surgery starts.

Surgery and Hospital Standards

Procedures take place at Acıbadem Ankara Hospital, which holds international accreditation for safety. The surgery typically lasts around 3 hours but may reach about 4 hours if the doctor adds liposuction. Patients receive general anesthesia during the operation. Prof. Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez manages the practice, which treats about 600 international patients every year. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery requires following specific steps to help the body heal. Most patients return to light activities in about 1 week, while full recovery takes around 6 to 8 weeks.

  • Compression garments: Patients wear a supportive garment for 6 weeks to reduce swelling.
  • Activity limits: Strenuous exercise must be avoided for at least 6 weeks.
  • Walking posture: Walking with a slightly bent posture during the first week helps reduce tension on the stitches.
  • Drain removal: Surgical drains are usually removed around day 3 when fluid output decreases.
The doctor places incisions so they stay hidden within the underwear or bikini line. While the Fleur de Lys method adds a vertical scar, these marks typically fade over several months.

Personalised planning and follow-up

Care begins with an assessment of the patient's goals, anatomy and medical history. Online consultations are available before travel. Major operations take place at Acıbadem Ankara Hospital; consultations and postoperative reviews are coordinated through the clinic. Suitability, anaesthesia, recovery and travel timing are assessed individually. The clinic has experience treating international patients from Europe, the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and the Middle East.

What the listed procedures cover

  • Hair transplant: Sapphire FUE at a hospital under local anaesthesia. Graft numbers depend on individual assessment.
  • Blepharoplasty and upper eyelid surgery prices cover the upper eyelids. Mammoplasty refers to breast augmentation.
  • Gynecomastia prices include gland removal, including the liposuction listing. Nipple correction means inverted-nipple correction; its range reflects one or both sides. Nipple reduction has the same fee for one or both sides.
  • The generic liposuction tariff covers one region. Abdominal liposuction covers the abdomen and flanks, excluding the back. Additional regions require a separate quotation.
  • Thigh liposuction covers both inner thighs or both outer hip areas. The buttocks listing refers to the outer hip areas. Love handles, calf and knee tariffs cover the paired areas.
  • Liposculpture covers three liposuction regions plus fat grafting. The BBL guide price covers two liposuction regions plus body fat transfer.
  • Chin augmentation refers to a chin implant; cheek implant pricing covers bilateral silicone implants. Jaw shaping refers to surgical bone shaving.
  • Belt lipectomy and lower body lift tariffs use the 360-degree abdominoplasty scope with complementary liposuction.

Clear quotations before booking

The written plan confirms the exact procedure, implant options, included services and any additional costs. Combined procedures and revision complexity may change the quotation. Orthognathic planning and splint costs require separate confirmation. Hotel accommodation, transfers and flights are quoted separately unless expressly included. Treatment outcomes and recovery vary; recommendations follow clinical assessment.

Breast surgery assessment is a plastic surgery consultation, not a maxillofacial consultation. Crisalix 3D simulation supports planning and does not guarantee results. Turkish and English consultations are free; an Arabic interpreter is available on request at additional cost.
