Belt Lipectomy in Prof. Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez Clinic
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.

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.
