Tummy Tuck Surgery Turkey

Erase the “Apron Belly” and Rebuild Your Core. Elite Tummy Tuck in Istanbul.

Diet and exercise cannot tighten loose skin or repair torn abdominal muscles. If you have a stubborn “apron belly” following massive weight loss or pregnancy, a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is the only permanent medical solution. Our board-certified aesthetic surgeons at Dollhouz specialize in complex abdominal reconstruction. We surgically remove massive folds of loose skin, aggressively tighten your separated stomach muscles like an internal corset, and create a striking, flat, youthful abdomen—starting from just $3,500.

A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a massive structural surgery designed to restore a flat, incredibly tight contour to your midsection. Unlike Liposuction, which only removes fat, a Tummy Tuck directly targets severe skin laxity and muscle damage. It is the ultimate solution for mothers suffering from Diastasis Recti (torn abdominal muscles) and patients who have shed massive amounts of weight only to be trapped underneath an apron of empty, hanging skin. Our elite surgeons surgically excise the loose tissue, physically suture the torn ab muscles back together, and seamlessly reposition the belly button.

Why Liposuction Can Actually Make It Worse

We consult with hundreds of patients every week who ask for Liposuction on their lower stomach when they actually desperately need a Tummy Tuck. Understanding the difference is crucial.

If you have a massive “apron” of lower belly skin that hangs down over your underwear line, your skin has hopelessly lost its biological elasticity. If a surgeon were to perform Liposuction and suck the fat out of that skin, the apron would completely deflate like an empty balloon and hang even further and looser.

Furthermore, if your stomach bulges outwards no matter how many crunches you do, you likely have Diastasis Recti. During pregnancy, the massive stretching frequently causes the left and right abdominal muscles to violently snap apart down the middle. This cannot be fixed at the gym. A Tummy Tuck physically opens the abdomen and allows the surgeon to suture those muscles back together, creating a permanent internal corset.

Bikini-Ready Scars: The Low-Rise Incision

A Tummy Tuck is a fresh start, not a permanent reminder of surgery. Our surgeons utilize the Low-Rise Tension-Free incision technique. We place your incision as low as possible—well within the bikini line—so it remains completely invisible in even the smallest swimwear. By using internal “Quill” sutures to remove tension from the skin surface, we ensure your scar heals into a fine, flat line that fades beautifully over time.

Eliminate the “Apron Belly”: The Internal Corset

If you’re struggling with a persistent “Fupa” or “apron belly” after weight loss or pregnancy, a standard skin removal isn’t enough. We perform an Internal Corset (Abdominal Plication) on every Tummy Tuck. We physically tighten your core muscles back together, repairing Diastasis Recti to give you a permanently flat, firm midsection and a “corset effect” that no amount of crunches could ever achieve.

The Surgical Technique: Tailored to Your Body

The Full Tummy Tuck

• Best For: Patients with substantial excess skin above and below the belly button, and severe muscle separation.
• The Technique: An incision is made from hip bone to hip bone, sitting very low so it is completely hidden by most bikini bottoms. The surgeon lifts the entire skin flap up to the rib cage, repairs the abdominal muscles, pulls the flap tight downwards, cuts off the massive excess skin, and constructs a brand new, youthful belly button.

The Mini Tummy Tuck

• Best For: Patients whose abdominal muscles above the belly button are perfectly strong, but who have a small, stubborn pouch of loose skin exclusively below the belly button (such as a C-Section shelf).
• The Technique: A much smaller incision is made just above the pubic bone. The belly button is not moved or touched. Only the skin below the navel is tightened and excised.

The Fleur-De-Lis Tummy Tuck (FDL)

• Best For: Bariatric patients who have lost an extreme amount of weight (100+ lbs) and have excess skin wrapping all the way around the sides toward the back.
• The Technique: Includes the standard hip-to-hip incision, plus an additional vertical incision running up the center of the stomach. This allows the surgeon to pull the skin tight horizontally like a corset, addressing massive circumferential laxity.

Cost Comparison: USA/Canada vs. Turkey

In North America, the fees for an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform a full abdominoplasty with muscle repair routinely scale from $12,000 to $18,000 completely out of pocket.

At Dollhouz in Istanbul, our premium VIP Tummy Tuck packages start from just $3,500. This encompasses everything: the surgeon’s premium surgical fee, your JCI-accredited elite hospital stay, your luxury VIP hotel accommodation, dedicated airport transfers, post-operative garments (fajas), and all necessary medication — at an incredible 60–70% savings.

Recovery Timeline: Planning Your Healing

• First 3 Days: You will experience intense tightness and significant soreness. You will wake up with surgical drains to collect excess fluid. You cannot stand up straight; you will walk hunched over to avoid ripping the tight incisions. Our nurses check your vitals and drains directly in your hotel room.
• End of Week 1: Your drains are removed by the surgeon. You are walking much straighter. The acute pain fades. You will be cleared to fly back to North America safely.
• Weeks 2 to 3: You can return to a desk job. You must continue wearing your abdominal compression binder 24/7 to prevent swelling and protect your newly sutured ab muscles. No heavy lifting under any circumstances.
• Weeks 6 to 8: You are permanently cleared. You can aggressively return to the gym, lift heavy weights, and run. The massive swelling has entirely resolved, leaving a shockingly flat, rock-hard stomach.
• 3 to 12 Months: Your long hip-to-hip scar begins the lengthy process of fading from a raised, angry pink to a thin, flat white line.

Are You a Good Candidate?

You are the designated candidate for a Tummy Tuck at Dollhouz if:

• You suffer from vast amounts of hanging, loose skin on your stomach following massive weight loss.
• You have finished having children. Getting pregnant after a Tummy Tuck will violently rip the sutured muscles apart again and ruin the result.
• You are at a stable weight, relatively close to your goal. A Tummy Tuck is NOT a weight loss surgery — it removes skin, not massive visceral fat.
• You are a strict non-smoker. Nicotine drastically restricts blood flow, leading to horrific tissue necrosis in the massive skin flaps.
