FAQ about Back lift in Turkey

What are the requirements for pre-procedure preparation?

Before undergoing a back lift surgery in Turkey, patients are typically required to:

  • Undergo medical evaluations to assess fitness for surgery, including blood tests and possibly a cardiac assessment, depending on individual health conditions.
  • Stop smoking several weeks prior to the procedure to promote better healing.
  • Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following the surgery.

How long does the back lift typically take?

A back lift surgery usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of the area being treated and whether additional procedures are being performed simultaneously.

What is the expected recovery time after the surgery?

Recovery times can vary, but most patients are able to return to non-strenuous activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Full recovery, including the ability to undertake vigorous exercise, might take up to 6 weeks. The total healing process will continue over several months as the swelling subsides and incision lines continue to improve.

What are the possible risks and complications of this back lift?

As with any surgical procedure, a back lift comes with potential risks, which may include:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Anaesthesia risks
  • Poor wound healing or scars
  • Persistent pain
  • Asymmetry or irregular contours

What kind of post-operative care will be required?

Post-operative care for a back lift includes:

  • Wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the new contours as you heal.
  • Taking prescribed medications to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection.
  • Attending follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
  • Avoiding direct sun exposure to the treated area to prevent darkening of the scars.

When can I return to work or resume normal activities after the back lift?

Most patients are able to return to work within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the nature of their job. However, strenuous activities should be avoided until 6 weeks post-surgery or until your surgeon advises it is safe.

How many follow-up appointments are needed after the back lift?

Typically, patients might need several follow-up appointments within the first six months after the surgery, starting with a post-operative check a few days after the procedure, followed by subsequent checks after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.

Will I need to take specific medications or follow a special diet post-surgery?

Patients are generally prescribed medications for pain and to prevent infection. There is no specific diet to follow post-surgery, but a balanced, healthy diet can help speed up recovery.

What should I do if I experience complications or unusual symptoms after the back lift?

If you experience any unusual symptoms such as excessive swelling, bleeding, fever, or severe pain, it is crucial to contact your surgeon immediately for advice and potential treatment.

What are the costs involved in this back lift, including additional expenses?

The cost of a back lift in Turkey is approximately £3206. This price typically includes the surgeon’s fee, anaesthesia, hospital charges, and post-surgery garments. Additional costs might include pre-surgical medical tests, prescription medications, and travel expenses for international patients.

How do I manage pain and discomfort during the recovery process?

Pain and discomfort can be managed with prescribed painkillers and by following your surgeon’s advice on care during recovery. Resting and avoiding strenuous activities are also crucial for minimising pain.

Are there any restrictions on physical activities or travel post-operation?

Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting and extensive travel for at least 6 weeks post-surgery to ensure proper healing and avoid complications.

Can I expect any visible scarring or other lasting effects from the back lift?

While a back lift does result in permanent scars, they are typically placed in areas that can be hidden by clothing. The appearance of scars may improve over time and can be minimised with proper care and following your surgeon’s advice.
