Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles for a flat and toned stomach. At İnci Esthetic, patients achieve natural results with advanced techniques and expert care.

Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. It is especially popular among patients who have experienced pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging, which often lead to loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles. At İnci Esthetic, tummy tuck surgery is performed by expert plastic surgeons to restore a flat, toned, and youthful-looking abdomen.

Benefits of Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck provides both cosmetic and functional improvements:
  • Removes excess, sagging skin from the abdominal area.
  • Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).
  • Improves body contour and waistline definition.
  • Boosts self-confidence and comfort in clothing.
  • Can be combined with liposuction for enhanced results.
  • Candidates for Tummy Tuck

    Tummy tuck is ideal for patients who want to restore their abdominal appearance:
  • Men and women with excess skin after weight loss.
  • Women after pregnancy with stretched abdominal muscles.
  • Individuals in good overall health with stable weight.
  • Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking before surgery.
  • Types of Tummy Tuck

    Full Tummy Tuck

    Removes excess skin and fat from the entire abdomen, with muscle tightening.

    Mini Tummy Tuck

    Targets only the lower abdomen below the belly button—ideal for mild cases.

    Extended Tummy Tuck

    Addresses excess skin around the abdomen, flanks, and sometimes lower back—suitable for massive weight loss patients.

    Recovery and Aftercare

    Recovery times vary depending on the procedure type:
  • Swelling and bruising are normal and subside within weeks.
  • Compression garments must be worn for 4–6 weeks to support healing.
  • Most patients return to work within 2–3 weeks.
  • Final results become visible after 2–3 months as swelling resolves.
  • Cost Considerations

    The cost of tummy tuck depends on the extent of surgery and additional procedures like liposuction. At İnci Esthetic, abdominoplasty is offered at affordable rates compared to Europe and the USA, without compromising safety or quality.
    Country Average Cost (EUR)
    Türkiye (İnci Esthetic) €3,000 – €5,500
