How long does the result last?

Results of tummy tuck could be life-long unless you gain weight and keep your body fit.

I am not sure if I need to have full or mini tummy tuck, how can I decide?

You do not need to make a decision about it. Your tummy tuck surgeon at MCAN Health will advise you the most suitable type by considering the amount of excess fat on your abdomen.

I am pregnant, can I still have tummy tuck in Turkey?

No, you cannot. Tummy tuck in Turkey cannot be performed even if there is a small chance of pregnancy. You may consider having abdominoplasty after childbirth.

I am a man, can I have tummy tuck in Turkey?

Tummy tuck in Turkey offers a solution to sagging and loose abdomen regardless of gender. Men, as well as women, can have tummy tuck in Turkey.

When will I see the results of tummy tuck?

You will start seeing the results as soon as your scars heal and swelling is gone.

What age should I be to have tummy tuck?

Age is not important, if you are over 18, then you can have it.

Am I a good candidate for tummy tuck?

If you are in good health both physically and emotionally, you can have a tummy tuck. For women, if there is a chance of pregnancy, we advise them to have a tummy tuck after pregnancy because after pregnancy your skin may get saggy again.

Can I have liposuction and tummy tuck in Turkey at the same time?

Yes, you can. If you are thinking of having both liposuction and tummy tuck in Turkey, it is advised to have both at the same time to avoid getting anesthetics for two times.

Q: For how long do I need to wear a corset?

These instructions about post-surgery care will be given to you by your tummy tuck surgeon. Usually, the corset is advised to be worn for 6 weeks after the abdominoplasty.

Q: I also have some scar marks due to childbirth; can I get rid of these scars via tummy tuck surgery?

Yes. Tummy tuck in Turkey will be helpful to remove unwanted scar marks.

Q: Am I going to have visible scars after tummy tuck surgery?

Thanks to advanced technology that MCAN Health tummy tuck surgeons use, incision lines, generally through bikini line, will be easy to hide after the operation. Also, the scars fade away some time after abdominoplasty.

Tummy Tuck Turkey
Before & Afters

A tummy tuck in Turkey is the most cost-effective treatment to eliminate excessive skin currently available. MCAN Health alone has operated more than 6000 patients in the last 8 years.

Establishing Your Tummy Tuck Cost in Turkey

The cost of a tummy tuck in Turkey depends on many factors, including the surgeon, the hospital, the type of surgery and the medical conditions of the patient. It is impossible to establish a medical plan and a precise price before a medical consultation. As an estimate, you might want to consider that the average price of a tummy tuck in Turkey is approximately a third of the total abdominoplasty cost in the UK, the US or in most of Europe. This includes hotel accommodation, a private driver, nursery services and all hospital fees (in Europe, the price given to patients usually covers only the operation).

The popularity and the affordable price of plastic surgery in Turkey increases the experience of doctors. Hence, you can get operated by some of the best professionals in Turkey for a more affordable abdominoplasty cost. The cost of a panniculectomy in Turkey is not only cheaper than in Europe, the quality of the treatment is also better.

Which One is Best for You? Liposuction vs Tummy Tuck

Neither liposuction or tummy tuck are weight loss surgeries. The former is a body sculpting procedure, focused on eliminating unwanted body fat, whereas the latter is a skin removal operation. The ideal candidate for an abdominoplasty in Turkey is a person who has lost a significant amount of weight in the months prior to the intervention. Liposculpting, on the other hand, is a better choice if you don’t have hanging skin and want to get rid of stubborn fat. To get the best results, many patients opt for a combined liposuction and tummy tuck.

Miss Begum Aug 2022

Having surgery abroad, can be risky and daunting especially when you go alone. I did go alone and this company did not let me down at any point. They were there to pick me up from the airport and take me to and from the hospital. The staff were kind and lovely and so grateful that I picked a great company for my breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction on the front and back. I would recommended them highly and my surgeon Professor Alhan listened to my wishes and instructions and has now given me, a body that I can make further improvements to. The nurse team, visited as scheduled and further aided in my recovery. I am so grateful that I received a brilliant service.

Eleanor Rogerson Jun, 2022

My experience with Mcan was so amazing.. from the first communication I made with them to inquire about breast reduction and tummy tuck surgery. and to me actually travelling to Turkey to get it done, has been on point. I’m so happy with my results. I feel like a new woman, and my body confidence has come back. The staff are so polite and patient.. 99% of the staff speak English so communicating with them wasn’t a problem at all. Thanks again Mcan x

Elif June, 2022

I had the best experience with Mcan, I had both a tummy tuck and Bbl in one and was extremely nervous to begin with but the team made me feel so much at ease and the process was very smooth. My doctor was amazing and I genuinely felt at safe hands with him, I’m extremely grateful to everyone at Mcan they were always there for me. I’m soo happy with the result and confidently recommend MCan to anyone think of surgery! Thank you guy 🥰🧿

Got a tummy tuck with liposuction with these real professionals. From transfers to patient hosts, MCAN is a company working in harmony. Everyone is so professional at their duty but also very warm and humane. It is not an easy thing to go abroad and trust strangers for a medical operation. But these guys deserve a very solid trust. My surgeon Dr Gurel was also awesome. Very funny guy with crazy knowledge. He answered all my questions and told me about my operation in details to relieve my stress and it helped! After the surgery, MCAN Staff was always by my side and helped me with my requests and questions as best as they can. Now I feel like I have friends in Turkey and you guys are always welcome to London! Thanks for the great opportunity and the perfect experience!!!

Rehana Yakub Feb, 2019

I had a brilliant experience with MCAN recently and would happily recommend them to anyone considering similar surgery. My friend had the same procedure a few months ago and after seeing her results I decided to go through with the procedure myself. I had abdominoplasty surgery and liposuction around the abdomen and hips area. It's 14 days today and I'm back home and healing very well. I'm extremely pleased with the results, it's even better than I had anticipated! Dr. Habib was very professional and I'm looking forward to a very neat abdomen. Alper, Saba and Melika were the team I had contact with throughout my stay, as we wanted to stay a few extra days they were happy to book this for us. I had a great experience thank you MCAN!

Lori McNaumer August, 2019

MCAN Health is a big crowd of professionals who are able to create a very warm and friendly environment! A friend of mine went MCAN for his hair transplant and next year he went for rhinoplasty. Seeing him, we decided to go as well with my husband. I had liposuction and breast augmentation and my husband had a hair transplant. It is about 3 months and we are sooo happy both about our own changes and the change of each other! Istanbul was a perfect city and MCAN team helped us not only with our surgeries but also their recommendations about the city were perfect! I loved my surgeon as well. Both mine and my husband's surgeons are very sympathetic people informing us all about the procedures and aftercares. Results are just as we have expected. What can I say... That was one of the best services I got in my life!!! Thanks Mcannn!!

Simple Guide into Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery is the process of reshaping the abdomen area by removing excess skin before stretching and stitching. The result is a flat stomach with tightened muscles. This kind of surgery is not performed as a means of losing weight. It is operated on patients who have experienced a heavy weight loss prior to the operation, often due to a bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) such as gastric sleeve surgery , or to pregnancy.

There are different ways of proceeding with the operation. The surgical choice will depend on the circumstances of the patient and the results of the intervention will be permanent if good life habits are maintained after surgery.

When is a good time to get operated?

Abdominoplasty is a standard operation after a huge weight loss. Drastic weight loss means that the body cannot keep up with the transformation, and thus excess skin after weight loss creates a saggy look on the stomach. Choosing the best time to get operated on means that you are not overweight and you don’t have any medical conditions that may interfere with the operation and the results. Also, no further pregnancies must be planned after surgery. In case you just gave birth, we suggest you wait about 6 months before the operation.

Introducing the Different Types of Tummy Tuck

Find the details of the different ways of performing the operation.

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

This surgical typology is performed to remove saggy skin and fat tissues located in the lower abdominal area (under the belly button). This method does not involve any diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles), caused by pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Benefits of this procedure include a shorter operation time, a quicker recovery and smaller incisions and scarring compared to a ‘full’ surgery.

1/7

What is a Full Tummy Tuck?

The ‘full’ surgical method focuses on abdominal muscles that have lost their natural shape due to splits caused by pregnancy or weight fluctuations. This surgical technique will elevate the entire abdominal skin, repair abdominal muscles and reposition the belly button. This surgery might be combined with a liposuction to get the best body sculpting results. You can read more about liposuction as combined surgery by clicking on the link.

2/7

What is an Hourglass Tummy Tuck?

Hourglass surgery combines liposuction with skin tightening to create a contoured hourglass body shape. The benefits of this procedure include a much smaller scar located lower in the abdominal area, a flatter stomach and a more reduced midsection, tailored to the individual.

3/7

How is an Extended Tummy Tuck Performed?

An ‘Extended’ surgery will not only reduce excess skin and fat on the mid abdomen, but will also target the hips or love handles. It is a broader procedure than the ’full’ method, and it is intended for people who have experienced a big weight loss. In certain cases, an extended skin reduction can even eliminate excessive skin tissue on the lateral thigh.

4/7

How is a Reverse Tummy Tuck Performed?

A ‘Reverse’ procedure is generally operated on women suffering from loose skin in the upper abdominal area. In such cases, incisions are performed on the lower breast fold and across the lower sternum and are imperceptible under the bra or in a bikini. A ‘reverse’ surgery also allows excess fat to be removed through liposuction.

5/7

What is a 360 Tummy Tuck?

A ‘360’ procedure is the most complete skin removal operation. It includes skin tightening and fat reduction, targeting the lower and upper abdomen, the flanks, bra rolls and the back. In other words, the entire midsection, both in the front and back, are treated.

6/7

How different is a Drainless Tummy Tuck?

Surgical drains have been traditionally used to avoid the accumulation of fluid after an operation. Nowadays, it is possible to undergo surgery and avoid seromas without drains through a layered suturing technique known as ‘quilting’, which requires highly experienced surgeons.

Key Insights into How a Tummy Tuck is Performed

The purpose of an abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is to reform and reshape sagging and loose skin areas on the abdomen. The procedure follows the next steps:

1. Incision

The incision is generally made from hip to hip and can be hidden underneath the underwear, across the lower abdomen. The second incision can be made around the belly button in order to remove unwanted skin and reposition the central abdominal area (known as tummy tuck belly button).

2. Removal of the excess fat and stretching the skin

After the incisions are operated, excess fat and skin are removed. Stretched muscles are then gathered together and stitched. Finally, the remaining skin is pulled down and your belly button is re-positioned accordingly.

How Long Does the Tummy Tuck Recovery Process Last for?

Most pain and discomfort will be gone by the end of an 8 day period, but the full recovery time can vary. It can take patients up to 3 months to return to their pre-op period, without any symptoms of fatigue or discomfort, particularly if they have opted for a combined procedure, as in the case of a BBL and Tummy Tuck recovery .

Your personal surgeon will regularly follow up with your recovery and give you all the necessary instructions to ease your healing. For example, patients are expected to maintain a healthy diet, to exercise lightly, to drink plenty of water and to avoid smoking and alcohol. Simply follow your surgeon’s recommendations and everything will run smoothly.
