A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles — creating a flatter, firmer midsection that exercise alone cannot achieve. It is particularly effective after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Each tummy tuck is planned to achieve a smooth, natural-looking result with a scar positioned as low as possible — typically concealed within the bikini line.
Abdominoplasty removes loose abdominal skin and excess fat, and repairs separated or weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). The result is a tighter, more toned abdomen with improved waist definition. A mini tummy tuck addresses the lower abdomen only, while a full tummy tuck treats the entire midsection.
Turkey is a leading destination for abdominoplasty, offering excellent surgical outcomes at costs significantly below those in the UK, Germany, or the US. Istanbul’s modern surgical facilities and experienced plastic surgeons attract thousands of international patients each year for body contouring procedures.
