When you have tummy tuck surgery in Turkey, typically you do not need to pay for accommodation, transfer, or interpreting services because all these are already in the price. However, you can check the table below to find out possible expenses you may need and count how much money to take to make your journey comfortable.

How can I pay for services in Turkey while having a tummy tuck journey?

 

In Turkey, you can pay for services using PayPal, cash, or credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard.

 

Do I need someone to take me to help after my tummy tuck?

 

It's best to have someone with you to help out for the first few days after your tummy tuck surgery in Turkey. You may feel some discomfort and need help with daily tasks, like moving around or lifting your luggage. Plan ahead and make sure your caregiver knows what your surgeon advises for your recovery.


 

What is the best season to get a tummy tuck in Turkey?

If you're considering a tummy tuck in Turkey, the fall or winter months, from September to February, are generally the best time to plan your procedure. During this time, the weather is cooler and more comfortable, which can make it easier to rest and recover after your surgery. It's also worth noting that you'll need to wear a compression garment during your recovery, which can be challenging in hot weather.


 

Will I be able to move as usual after my tummy tuck?

After a tummy tuck, you can move but will need to take it easy for the first few weeks to allow for proper healing and minimize the risk of scarring, bruising, and swelling. This initial recovery period requires at least 2-3 weeks, during which you should rest and avoid any heavy lifting, strenuous physical activities, swimming, and driving until your surgeon clears you for these activities. It's recommended to stay home and get rest during this time to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.


 

Do I need an interpreter while staying?

Communication shouldn't be a problem when getting a tummy tuck in Turkey as medical staff in most clinics typically speak English. However, if you prefer to have an interpreter who speaks your language, you can request this service from the clinic to make sure you are comfortable and able to communicate clearly with your surgeon and medical staff.

"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

This was my first experience, but now I know for sure that in the future I will only turn to Bookimed for help in choosing a clinic and a doctor
I would like to thank the Bookimed team for the quality consultation and selection of a clinic and a doctor with further services. The coordinators answered questions quickly and were always supportive at any time of the day. With Bookimed you will not worry about anything, the whole trip is well organized (you have pre-registered a hotel with accommodation, transfer from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to the clinic, and to the airport) We have organized a consultation with the doctor. I had mammoplasty and Vaser liposuction to correct the abdominal area. Everything went well . It’s too early to talk about the result, since my rehabilitation is not over yet, but I’m sure that everything will be great ☺️Bookimed coordinators are very responsible and caring, they always try to help and support in some way, regardless of the time of day. This was my first experience, but now I know for sure that in the future I will only turn to Bookimed for help in choosing a clinic and a doctor. Thank you very much for your work.

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.

FAQ about treatment in Turkey

What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

🟢A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a type of cosmetic surgery. It aims to make the stomach area flatter and more toned. The procedure removes excess abdominal skin and fat from the abdomen. It also tightens the abdominal wall muscles. This creates a smoother and firmer look.

Some people choose a mini tummy tuck, which targets only the lower abdomen. A full tummy tuck focuses on both the upper and lower abdominal areas.

The tummy tuck procedure can be beneficial for those with sagging skin after weight loss or pregnancy. Many people undergo this surgery in Turkey, and the costs are often lower compared to other countries.

Recovery usually takes a few weeks. During this time, patients should avoid strenuous activities. This gives the body time to heal.

Abdominoplasty is a complex surgical procedure to reconstruct the abdominal wall. During the operation, the surgeon removes the excess skin and repairs the muscular tissue of the abdomen. A Tummy Tuck surgery aims to reshape the abdomen, waist, and, in some cases, the lower back and buttocks.

✅Doctors may prescribe this procedure in the following cases:

  • when the muscles of the abdomen have lost their elasticity;

  • for women after pregnancy;

  • after a weight loss of more than 7 kg in a short period of time in the presence of excess skin and fat deposits;

  • there are scar tissues on the front wall of the abdomen;

  • hormonal disorders and malnutrition have affected the abdomen, etc.

What is the difference between abdominoplasty and bariatric surgery?

Abdominoplasty in Turkey is indicated for people without health problems who are not obese and have a BMI of 25-30. Abdominoplasty Turkey refers to cosmetic plastic surgery.

If the BMI is greater than 30, then the doctor recommends that the patient lose weight with a healthy diet and moderate exercise. When the body weight returns to normal, performing an abdominoplasty aesthetic surgery will be possible.

If the patient cannot or does not want to lose weight this way, the doctor may prescribe one of the bariatric surgeries to get significant weight loss.

Bariatrics is weight loss surgery. It includes various procedures such as gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, gastric band, and gastric balloon.

These methods of surgical treatment of obesity help the patient to feel full after eating a small portion of food. They also allow you to reduce the number of calories supplied to the body. Thus, they effectively fight obesity and will enable you to get rid of extra pounds.

If a person is quite heavily overweight, then, most likely, after losing weight, he has excess skin on the abdomen. A doctor may prescribe an aesthetic operation of the abdomen if the patient's BMI is less than 30.

Innovative techniques for abdominoplasty Turkey

Every year, surgeons improve their plastic surgery techniques, medical equipment, and medicines. All this allows surgeons to perform operations with greater precision and speed. Patients receive a shorter postoperative recovery period. They reduce operational risks and side effects.

Turkish doctors follow international standards and are constantly improving plastic surgery methods.

Abdominoplasty surgery in Turkey is no exception. Techniques for its implementation are being improved.

In Turkish clinics, doctors use such innovations as:

  • mini tummy tuck;

  • abdominoplasty without drains;

  • combined techniques;

  • alternative techniques without surgery.

Mini tummy tuck

A short time ago, doctors had to perform a full extended tummy tuck to improve only the lower abdomen. But thanks to mini abdominoplasty, patients with only problems with this area can now get a less invasive surgery and the shortest recovery period.

Abdominoplasty without drains

It is an innovative and more comfortable technique for patients. Surgeons use drains to drain fluid that forms between the abdominal wall and the abdominal skin that was raised during surgery. Patients find them very uncomfortable and noticeable. They are difficult to hide under clothing. Complications such as a pinched tube or an obstructed tube were also possible.

In the abdominoplasty without drains technique, surgeons use special self-tensioning sutures that fix the skin of the abdomen and the tissues of the abdominal wall. Due to this, there is no free space for the accumulation of liquid. Therefore, it is not necessary to put the drainage tubes.

This method allows surgeons to make the incision much lower in the abdomen, and the postoperative scar can be even more easily hidden under clothing. And it will be less noticeable since no additional pressure is created on the postoperative suture.

Recovery time after surgery is reduced. Patients can return to normal life faster.

Combined techniques

It is another achievement in this field. Plastic surgeons often indicate to their patients a combined procedure: liposuction combined with an abdominoplasty. And it is even possible to do up to three procedures at the same time:

  • liposuction;

  • a fat transfer;

  • abdominoplasty.

Thanks to liposuction, doctors can remove more body fat. With a fat transfer, other body parts, such as the buttocks, breasts, lips, etc., are increased. And finish the procedure combined with an aesthetic abdomen surgery to remove the excess skin.

Alternative techniques without surgery

Several techniques allow you to improve the appearance of your abdomen without surgery. But they can only help people with little fat accumulated in the belly area when there is not much excess skin.

These methods are based on the use of tension threads, mesotherapy, massages, injections, medical devices, etc. But the result after alternative techniques is less effective than a surgical abdominoplasty.

Quartz Clinique patient's review of a tummy tuck, liposuction, and BBL in Turkey

Why do health tourists choose Turkey for an abdominoplasty?

According to the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) in 2020, abdominoplasty is one of the world's five most demanded plastic surgeries. In Turkey, it ranks second after liposuction surgery.

Every day 60 people have an abdominoplasty in Turkey. They choose Turkey for good value for money, and they know that Turkish plastic surgeons have extensive experience in aesthetic abdomen surgery. This is why they can save at least $2,000 or €1,950 compared to the same procedure in the USA and receive impeccable medical service.

Medical tourists from all over the world choose Turkey for these reasons:

The price

How much does an abdominoplasty cost in Turkey? The price range for abdominoplasty in Turkey starts from $2,000/€1,950, in Spain – $4,000/€3,900, and in the United States – $6,700/€6,650.

An abdominoplasty has an average price in Turkey of about $2,500/€2,400.

Tummy tuck offers

All-inclusive abdominoplasty deals start from $3,200/€3,150. With all-inclusive offers, the patient does not have to worry about anything and can concentrate on future operations.

Medical centers in Turkey often run offers and promotions that include:

  • preoperative and postoperative medical consultations, diagnoses, tests and analysis, anesthesia, compression garments, etc.;

  • accommodation in a 3/4/5 star hotel;

  • transfers airport/hotel, hotel/hospital, hospital/hotel, hotel/airport;

  • translator etc.

Qualified plastic surgeons

In 2020, Turkish surgeons performed almost 25,000 Tummy Tucks. The success of a plastic operation depends on modern medical equipment and the qualification and experience of the surgeon.

Turkish doctors are constantly improving their skills, adopting the experience of leading medical centers in the United States and European countries. They are members of prestigious societies and associations. This allows them to carry out operations using modern technologies and methods.

Positive patient reviews

Medical tourists are satisfied with the cooperation with Bookimed and its partner hospitals. They submit positive reviews about the medical service received in Turkey, about the hospitals and doctors;

Service level

Turkish hospitals receive subsidies from the Turkish government. These subsidies allow the development of the infrastructure of the hospitals. Most of the clinics in Turkey are modern. Doctors use new technologies and innovative medical equipment.

The high qualification of doctors and modern equipment allow

  • perform procedures accurately and efficiently;

  • reduce recovery time;

  • reduce the number of possible side effects and complications after surgery.

The same techniques of aesthetic abdomen surgeries are used in Turkey as in European countries, the United Kingdom, the USA, and other developed countries.

What problems can abdominoplasty treatment in Turkey solve?

Abdominoplasty in Turkey is a procedure that can solve both aesthetic and medical problems. A doctor may indicate Tummy Tuck surgery in these cases:

  • A belly apron. In this case, excess skin and belly fat stick out and hang down, forming an apron. This problem can be caused by rapid weight loss.

  • Stretching of the rectus abdominis muscles - diastasis. It is generally a problem for women after pregnancy. A bulge forms in the lower abdomen that is impossible to remove with physical exercises.

  • Stretch marks on the skin. Stretch marks often appear on the skin due to pregnancy or rapid weight gain.

  • Wrinkled and flaccid skin. Stretched skin cannot recover and take its former shape, and folds are formed in the umbilical area. These defects can appear after pregnancy or after sudden weight loss.

  • Hernia.

  • Problems with the digestive and cardiovascular systems are due to the formation of large deposits of skin and fat.

  • Spinal problems. These problems are caused by a large belly and excessive load on the spine due to poorly distributed weight.

  • The presence of scars and other defects in the abdomen. They can remain after operations, injuries, damage, burns, etc. These scars can cause deformities in the abdomen and cause discomfort and pain.

  • Change in body proportions due to uneven distribution of body fat.

  • Irregularities and humps in the abdomen due to a poorly done liposuction.

Is getting a belly tuck in Turkey worth it?

Turkey offers tummy tuck procedures at 50-75% lower prices than in the U.S., UK, and many European countries. The expertise of a Turkish tummy tuck surgeon ensures that patients achieve their desired abdominal contours and effectively manage excess skin.

Benefits of getting a stomach tuck in Turkey:
