1. Personal Consultation
Every tummy tuck journey begins with a meticulous assessment of your abdominal wall, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
Your Consultation in Istanbul:
- Muscle Diastasis Check: Evaluating the gap between your abdominal muscles to plan the internal tightening.
- Skin Elasticity Review: Determining if you need a Full, Mini, or Extended abdominoplasty based on excess skin volume.
- Incision Planning: Positioning the surgical line as low as possible so it remains hidden beneath swimwear and underwear.
| Factor | Assessment | Surgical Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle Gap | Diastasis Recti | Internal Plication |
| Skin Quality | Laxity/Stretch Marks | Skin Excision |
| Fat Volume | Localized Deposits | Combined Liposuction |
2. The Expert Touch
Our surgeons are specialists in body contouring, focusing on the fine details that make a tummy tuck result look naturalโespecially the belly button (umbilicus) placement.
Why Expertise Matters:
- Umbilicoplasty: Creating a natural-looking navel is an art form our surgeons have mastered over thousands of cases.
- Tension Management: Ensuring the skin is tightened perfectly without causing stress to the incision line.
- Motherhood Recovery: Specialist focus on restoring the pre-pregnancy body through the ‘Mommy Makeover’ approach.
3. Surgical Excellence
Performed under general anesthesia, the procedure focuses on three main pillars: fat removal, muscle repair, and skin tightening.
Procedure Highlights:
- Full Abdominoplasty: Addresses the entire midsection, from the pubic area to just below the ribs.
- Mini Tummy Tuck: Ideal for patients with skin laxity localized only below the navel.
- Muscle Plication: Suturing the abdominal muscles back together to restore a flat, strong core.
Our surgical teams utilize advanced monitoring and pain management protocols throughout your 2-night hospital stay.
