Tummy tuck Patient Experience Reviews
I like how fast and easy it was from the start. The surgical facility was small but worked fine. I did not like the post op care. The night nurse was terrible. Her patients were not a priority. Post op care was not made clear. I would have preferred more detailed instructions on after care. I was left guessing about bandages, sprays, medications and scar treatment. Doctor repaired a hernia, of which I was grateful, but would have preferred to have price list in case this occurred so I could have been prepared financially. I felt like price was just made up. So I don't know if I was overcharged. I liked Mexicali as it was a nice quiet clean town. All in all experience was not bad and the price was affordable.

Tummy tuck Patient Experience Reviews
I felt tricked in my experience. I informed the clinic of my entire medical history several months in advance. However, after i booked flights and hotel and arrived in Tijuana, i was informed that they felt my surgery would be too risky, even though i had passed all their medical exams. On top of all that, they charged me $200 for the tests! I do NOT recommend Gilenis to anybody ever.
The Bookimed service was great! The only problem i had was that i was referred to a shady clinic by the Bookimed reps are great about answering questions.

FAQ about Tummy tuck in Mexico
What is a tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is an operation for the abdominal saggy skin removal, stomach defects elimination, and proportions restoration. With the help of tummy tuck, you get rid of the hanging belly fat that appears after a sharp weight loss or childbirth. Quite often, abdominoplasty is combined with liposuction to remove excess fat and saggy stomach skin.

What result can you expect after the procedure?
Tummy tuck helps to cope with:
- skin stretching and loss of its elasticity after the significant fetus birth or multiple pregnancies
- sagging skin caused by significant weight loss
- excess subcutaneous fat layer (the deepest skin layer which cannot be otherwise disposed of)
- stomach apron.
Abdominoplasty is not a way to get rid of obesity. This operation may be associated with liposuction. In this case, tummy tuck helps to lose excess weight, but not itself.
Who is the right candidate for a tummy tuck?
The main reason for a complete abdominoplasty is the individual desire of the person. Such a primary method is prescribed when nothing helps to correct the abdominal area, and there is no way to go in for sports intensively and regularly.
Abdominoplasty is performed when the lower abdomen is saggy. This occurs after liposuction, childbirth, sudden weight loss with a huge initial weight.
The list of indications for this operation includes:
- the presence of excess adipose tissue on the anterior abdominal wall and on the body sides (if it cannot be removed by diet and sports)
- a large number of stretch marks on the abdomen
- a protruding belly and large waist
- pregnancy
- the hereditary weakness of the connective tissue.
How does a patient prepare for a tummy tuck?
There are several steps of the patient's preoperative period:
- consultation with a plastic surgeon to determine possible contraindications and identify patient's psychological condition
- examination of the anterior abdominal wall to determine skin turgor, muscle tone and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer
- 3D modeling to predict the outcome of the operation
- lab tests and screenings (ECG, blood and urine analysis)
- 2-3 weeks before surgery, a patient stops taking anticoagulants and starts taking vasoconstrictor drugs
- having received the test results, the patient consults with the anesthetist
- the doctor can prescribe a special diet
- during the month before surgery, the patient refrains from alcohol and smoking
- a week before abdominoplasty, it is worth restricting the use of products that promote the gas formation and fatty, sweet, spicy foods
- for a couple of days, the patient should reduce physical activity, stop using decorative care cosmetics
- intake lung sedatives
- arrival at the clinic on an empty stomach
- marking on the patient’s body
- anesthesia introducing.
How is a tummy tuck performed?
On average, abdominoplasty takes about 2-5 hours. The patient is under general anesthesia. Depending on the operated area and the body fat volume, plastic experts choose the most effective type of tummy tuck.
During the complete tummy tuck, not only the abdomen changes but also the area of the back, sides, and buttocks. Plastic surgeons carry out the full abdominoplasty in several steps:
- the surgeon marks the incisions and areas that are to be removed on the abdomen, sides, and back
- the specialist administers the anesthesia
- the doctor cuts the excess skin, and subcutaneous tissue exfoliates the tissues and carefully reduces the navel
- the plastic surgeon sutures the muscles with non-absorbable threads to completely restore the standard abdominal wall, back, and sides
- after the excess skin removal, the incisions are sutured, imposing self-absorbable sutures. The surgeon washes wounds and installs drainages.
How long is rehabilitation after a tummy tuck?
Plastic surgeons apply early recovery techniques to shorten the rehabilitation period. In general, it takes about six months, but only the first 1.5 months are the most difficult.
- On the first day, the patient is in the ward. To restore bowel function, the patient has light meals.
- On the second day, the patient gets out of bed.
- On the third day, the surgeon examines the patients, gives recommendations, and discharges the patient.
- The patient wears compression underwear, keeps a diet, and limits physical activity. Also, the patient will have to minimize water procedures and independently treat the suture with antiseptics.
What types of abdominoplasty are performed?
There are 2 main types of tummy tuck performed:
- Mini abdominoplasty — a removal of sagging skin and stretch marks in the lower area of your belly button. This is a procedure for those who do not need to correct the whole stomach zone.
- Full abdominoplasty — the most common procedure to remove the sagging skin and fat from the lower or the middle area of the abdomen. During the process, a doctor can replace the belly button and tighten muscles to achieve the perfect result.
Only a doctor can determine what type of tummy tuck is the best for you. Please take photos of your belly and send them when you submit a request to get more extensive consultation and accurate prices.
How long will I need to stay in other country after a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is considered a quite complicated procedure, so a patient needs to stay in the clinic for few hours or 1-3 days according to the surgery method. Then, a patient stays in the hotel for 2-4 days to visit a doctor and control the recovery process.
It takes up to 10 nights overall to stay in a particular to process tummy tuck.

Overall good hospital
I am a Registered Intensive Care Nurse in the US so knowing that Hisar Intercontinental Hospital is JCI certified( main reason I choose this hospital) gave me some assurance! I made the booking through bookimed who by the way were so accommodating with my dates , bookimed gave me more than two options in two countries and allowed me to choose what was best for me. I choose Hisar intercontinental hospital . After the decision was made I was contacted by a international coordinator from the hospital who tells you about airport pickup and coordinates your appointment with the surgeon, labs and appointment with anesthesia. The appointment with the surgeon was scheduled the day before the surgery unfortunately due to the European strikes I missed my flight and only arrived late the day before the surgery ( lab work and the anesthesia appointment was still done on that day). Appointment day- I met the surgeon and after consent surgery was done!
I spent 3 days and 2 nights in the hospital because I needed it, I was given blood transfusions when needed, the nurses were agreeable
Pros:hospital is clean, food is ok, up to date equipment( bp machines, iv catheters, hospital bed, )tv in room, toiletries and slippers provided, hot water in showers, cleaning service twice a day,Wi-Fi available, etc, all medications were given on time, nurses responsive to patient( I had them change my IV 4 times)
Cons:language. Almost nobody speaks English! Get yourself the translator app. Translator only works day shift so you are on your own at night.
2.be your own advocate, if you feel something is off or if you know something should be done e.g lab work etc insist on it and it will be done.being a nurse I knew when my vitals were off and when interventions were needed so I insisted on the interventions and they were eventually done
Overall good hospital.✅

"My experience has been life changing and look forward to seeing the final results 3 months, to then discuss my next visit without hesitation, funds permitting
Hi this is Mark from Australia. Continuing on my weightloss journey since August 2004 when i weighed in at 168kg/370lb. I had gastric stapling. Fast foward to November 2022, I was ready to remove excess skin and tissue.
I used bookimed as a resource and guide to find a suitable and respected surgeon to fulfill my requirements. The coordinator Viktoriia was extremely helpful, understanding and knowledgable and can not thank her enough for the chosen clinic.
The Surgeon Dr Taha Sonmez and hos team exceeded my expectations from arrival, airport transfer, through to hotel transfers to the clinic and hospital. Medical team was understanding, respectful and courteous. The treatment was on my stomach, back and flanks, and performed 360° Vaser Liposuction and 270° Abdominoplasty. Again exceeded my expectation to date.
2 nights in hospital, returned day 5 for drain tubes removal, and off I go on day 7. Their support with my trip was greatful, as this trip was made solo, with no supporting person/s with me. Life is a journey, and my journey can continue with this result I have had, using bookimed and Kariso Clinic. I am already in discussion for my next step of my journey - inner upper thighs and under arms. Every client is different, as "every body" is different. My experience has been life changing and look forward to seeing the final results 3 months, to then discuss my next visit without hesitation, funds permitting

Well done to Viktoriia and thank for for being on this journey with me from A-Z, and your knowledge, skills, timeliness responses and professionalism is to be admired from. Thank you

I highly recommend it to everyone 👍
"I would like to share my amazing experience with Dr. Aykut Gok and his team. I recently decided to have an abdominoplasty, liposuction and breast lift and it was the best decision I could have made for my self-esteem and well-being. From the very beginning of my meeting with Dr. I felt his professionalism and caring. He provided a detailed consultation. The abdominoplasty, liposuction and breast lift procedure went smoothly and without complications. I had complete confidence in the doctor and his team during the operation. They were professional, attentive and caring, which made me feel calm and confident Dr. Gok demonstrated a high level of skill and technical skill and I was amazed at the results. After surgery, I was delighted with the results. My stomach was flatter and toned and my body more contoured and symmetrical. My breasts had a natural and youthful appearance. I couldn't believe it that this is my body! Dr. Gok really transformed my figure. I also wanted to acknowledge the excellent post-op care provided by the doctor and his team and Narmina. They were available to answer all my questions and provided me with the support I needed throughout the recovery process. I am truly grateful to Dr. Aykut Goku for his talent, professionalism, and care during my abdominoplasty, liposuction, and breast lift. I highly recommend it to everyone 👍

I changed hotels to Cevahir Hotel Istanbul Asia
Ihsan was absolutely amazing! He is very friendly and always available. He is the best coordinator. I would recommend Ihsan to everyone 😁. Dr. Ali Ertan Capar and his surgical nurse, Jon, where very professional, personable, and accommodating. They checked on me regularly. I definitely recommend the doctor and his team. The doctor's office was very first class and clean. I loved the decor.
The hospital staff used language translators to communicate.
The food was not good at the hospital. Take your own breakfast bars.
Suggestion: in future have the hospital provide water to patients. I was service lunch with no beverage. Thank GOD I was given several bottled water from Jon at his expenses.
I would NOT recommend the A11 hotel. The breakfast is the same everyday. No room service. The elevator doesn't go to the lobby. The room was very small. The bed is very low. Difficult to get up after surgery. My room didn't get cleaned. No AC kept cutting off. The doorman does his best to assist.
I changed hotels to Cevahir Hotel Istanbul Asia. This hotel was 5 star and fantastic! 24 hour room service! Very clean. My room was cleaned everyday. Most of the staff spoke English. Very good menu. The food was delicious. The room was spacious and had a water view. I could open the window for fresh air.

I like how fast and easy it was from the start. The surgical facility was small but worked fine. I did not like the post op care. The night nurse was terrible. Her patients were not a priority. Post op care was not made clear. I would have preferred more detailed instructions on after care. I was left guessing about bandages, sprays, medications and scar treatment. Doctor repaired a hernia, of which I was grateful, but would have preferred to have price list in case this occurred so I could have been prepared financially. I felt like price was just made up. So I don't know if I was overcharged. I liked Mexicali as it was a nice quiet clean town. All in all experience was not bad and the price was affordable.
