At DrBeauty, we understand that a flat, toned abdomen isn’t always achievable with diet and exercise alone-especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Our Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) procedure removes excess skin and fat while restoring core muscle integrity for a sleek, sculpted silhouette.

It is ideal for women who want to: Remove sagging, stretched skin, Tighten separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), Eliminate post-pregnancy or weight loss belly pooch, Define the waistline and flatten the lower belly. The result? A firmer, smoother, and younger-looking abdomen.

How the Procedure Works?
Consultation & Planning
A thorough abdominal exam is performed to evaluate skin laxity, fat deposits, and muscle separation. Your surgeon will mark the incision site and explain how scars will be placed, along with the muscle repair method.
Anesthesia & Incision
On surgery day, general anesthesia ensures you’re comfortable and pain-free. A horizontal incision is made low on the abdomen, just above the pubic area, to minimize visible scarring.
Muscle Repair & Skin/Fat Removal
Separated abdominal muscles are carefully stitched back together to restore firmness. Excess skin is trimmed, and unwanted fat is removed using liposuction for a smoother contour.
Navel Repositioning & Closure
The belly button is preserved and repositioned naturally. Incisions are closed with sutures, drains may be placed, and a compression garment is applied to aid healing and reduce swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will there be a visible scar after tummy tuck?
Yes, but it’s strategically placed below the bikini line and fades over time. We also provide scar care guidance and treatment options.
Is this the same as liposuction?
No. A tummy tuck focuses on removing skin and tightening muscles, while liposuction only removes fat. Both can be combined for optimal results.
Can I have a tummy tuck after C-section or pregnancy?
Yes! In fact, it’s ideal for correcting postpartum muscle separation and skin excess. We recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after delivery.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
We recommend a 7–10 day stay for your procedure and post-op care. DrBeauty organizes your accommodation, airport transfers, and aftercare support.
Will the results be permanent?
Yes, as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, the results can last for many years.
