About the clinic
Belt lipectomy at Quartz Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the midsection. This surgery helps patients who have loose skin after massive weight loss or pregnancy. The procedure is performed by Dr. Leyla Arvas, a specialist with over 25 years of experience in body contouring.
Body Lift Procedure and Recovery
A belt lipectomy addresses the abdomen, hips, and lower back. The surgeon uses general anesthesia, and the operation lasts about 5 to 7 hours. The process begins with liposuction to remove fat deposits. Then, the doctor cuts away sagging skin and tightens the remaining tissue. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1 or 2 nights after surgery.
Recovery requires wearing a medical corset for at least 2 weeks. This helps support the new body shape and reduces swelling. Most patients return to their jobs after 4 weeks of rest. The surgical scars are placed along the underwear line to keep them hidden from view.
Advanced Technologies and Safety
Quartz Hospital uses FDA-approved technologies to improve results. These include VASER liposuction and skin-tightening tools like Morpheus8 and Thermage FLX. VASER technology uses ultrasound to break down fat gently. This method causes less trauma to the body compared to older techniques.
Patient safety is maintained by performing surgeries at JCI-accredited partner hospitals. These include the Memorial and Acıbadem facilities in Istanbul. These hospitals follow international standards for medical care and hygiene. International patients also receive help with VIP transfers and hotel arrangements.

The lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement
My biggest worry was how the final result would look, and whether it would be worth the recovery. Even though I’m still quite puffy around my jawline, the lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement. That part is a huge relief. The staff and clinic environment were excellent from start to finish. Turning my head feels slightly tight but okay. The surgeon did good work, though I rated them a 4/5 as I felt some communication could have been a bit more compassionate after surgery.The most challenging part has absolutely been sleeping elevated. That's no fun. I would still recommend this clinic.
The Bookined coordinator and the Quartz Clinic staff were fantastic: supportive, helpful, compassionate. All updates were communicated to me promptly. The hotel booked for me is really excellent, with smooth transfers and kind drivers. Spot on!
I didn't give the doctor 5 stars because she made me cry the day after surgery. She could adopt a different approach towards me after surgery, with more understanding and compassion, especially since I was there on my own and at the end of the day, she's received all the information required, it doesn't matter from whom. The stress has a significant impact on me. Aside from that, she was great.

The doctor was excellent and gentle, drawing the beard shape with me right before she personally performed the entire procedure of over 3,000 grafts
The doctor was excellent and gentle, drawing the beard shape with me right before she personally performed the entire procedure of over 3,000 grafts. Everything went well. Communication was timely and consistent, and I'm feeling better than expected in these early stages. The clinic has stayed in touch and provided a clear aftercare guide. Not much could be better, though I'd suggest bringing headphones for the long procedure and sunglasses for the light. My main advice for future patients is to ask about the recovery process in advance—it was something I hadn't really considered until after it started.
Everything was great. The doctor was excellent and gentle. I feel that communication was timely and consistent. Everything went well and I think the results will be great.
Not much. Maybe headphones and music during the procedure. It was pretty long. Sunglasses for the light.
