After the tummy tuck procedure, which takes an average of 2 hours under general anaesthesia, you will stay in the hospital for 1 night. Corset use is recommended for 4-6 weeks.
Sagging, laxity and excess skin accumulation in the abdominal area can cause aesthetic discomfort. Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) aims both to remove excess skin and to recover the abdominal muscles.
Operation Duration 2 hours
Anaesthesia General
Discharge 2 days after
Return to Social Life: 7-10 days
Who is it suitable for?
It is suitable for people who have experienced loosening in the abdominal structure after pregnancy, excessive weight gain and loss, weakened skin elasticity or herniation in the abdominal wall. It can be safely applied in patients with appropriate body mass index and good general health.
Applied Techniques
Mini abdominoplasty (for limited sagging) or full abdominoplasty (for extensive sagging) is preferred. During the operation, the muscle tissue is tightened, the belly button is reshaped and excess skin is removed.
Tummy tuck surgery aims to achieve a flatter, firmer and aesthetic abdominal appearance by recovering sagging skin and relaxed abdominal muscles. It is an effective solution especially after birth or weight loss.
The informed consent form is a legally required document signed by the patient prior to any medical procedure.
Please consult your doctor for detailed information. You will be asked to review the consent form carefully before your surgery.
Operation and Recovery
The duration of the operation is 2 hours. 1 night hospitalisation is recommended. Slight forward bending while walking is normal in the first days. Return to daily life can be achieved in 10-14 days. Sports is recommended after 4-6 weeks.
Aesthetic and Functional Result
After the operation, the abdominal area is flattened, tightened and a clear contour is formed. Clothing fit increases, self-confidence and physical comfort are restored. The scar is planned to remain on the bikini line and fades over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be a scar after tummy tuck?
Yes, but the scar is hidden in the bikini line and its prominence decreases with the healing process.
Will the abdominal muscles also recover?
Yes. Abdominal muscles that have separated, especially after childbirth, are surgically re-tightened.
Is fat intake also done?
Yes. During tummy tuck, better shaping can be achieved by adding liposuction to the waist and side abdominal areas.
