THE PROCEDURE
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. It is one of the most transformative body contouring procedures available — delivering a flatter, firmer midsection that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.
At Estelux Istanbul, tummy tuck procedures are performed by Op. Dr. Uğurlu — a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in post-pregnancy and post-bariatric body contouring. The procedure is often combined with liposuction for more comprehensive results.
Removes excess skin
Eliminates loose, sagging skin that cannot be addressed through diet or exercise alone.
Tightens muscles
Repairs and tightens separated or weakened abdominal muscles — restoring core strength and contour.
Flatter midsection
Delivers a dramatically flatter, more toned abdominal profile with permanent, long-lasting results.
Combinable
Commonly combined with liposuction for more comprehensive body contouring in a single procedure.
Post-pregnancy results
Ideal for mothers looking to restore their pre-pregnancy abdominal profile after completing their family.
Permanent results
With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, tummy tuck results are permanent and long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most tummy tuck patients stay 7 days in Istanbul. This includes the procedure, 1-2 nights in hospital and recovery days before flying home.
Is a tummy tuck painful?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. Afterwards, discomfort is manageable with medication. Most patients return to light activities within 2 weeks.
When will I see my final results?
Initial swelling subsides within 6-8 weeks. Final results are fully visible after 6 months as the body settles and scars mature.
