Before undergoing a tummy tuck or liposuction in Turkey, patients are required to complete comprehensive preoperative tests. These typically include:
Patients are also advised to stop smoking and avoid certain medications, such as blood thinners, for a period before the surgery to reduce the risk of complications.
The duration of surgery for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction varies depending on the extent of fat removal and the areas being treated but typically lasts between 2 to 5 hours. These procedures are often performed under general anesthesia.
Recovery times can vary, but patients typically spend 1 to 2 days in the hospital post-surgery. It is common for patients to stay in a hotel post-discharge for about 7 to 8 days before flying back home. During this period, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Total recovery, including the subsidence of swelling and the ability to return to normal activities, can take several weeks to a few months.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including:
Post-operative care includes:
Patients can generally return to work and light activities within 2-3 weeks post-surgery. However, strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.
Typically, patients may need several follow-up appointments after their surgery. The first check-up usually occurs a few days post-operation, with subsequent visits scheduled over the course of the next few months to ensure proper recovery and satisfactory results.
Post-operative medications often include pain relievers and antibiotics. A balanced diet, possibly rich in proteins and low in sodium, may also be recommended to support healing.
If any complications or unusual symptoms arise, such as excessive pain, signs of infection, or unexpected swelling, patients should contact their surgeon immediately for assessment and possible treatment.
The cost of tummy tuck and liposuction in Turkey can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the clinic chosen. Typical prices range from £4,275 to £5,985. These costs generally cover consultations, hospital stays, post-op medications, and transfers. Accommodation costs are included in some packages but may be separate in others.
Pain and discomfort, which are common post-surgery, are managed through prescribed painkillers. It’s crucial to follow the surgeon’s instructions regarding medication to manage pain effectively.
Post-surgery, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for up to 6 weeks. Travel, particularly long flights, should be discussed with the surgeon, as it may increase the risk of developing blood clots.
Scarring is a common aftermath of tummy tucks and can vary in length and visibility. Skilled surgeons strategically place incisions to minimize and conceal scars. The visibility of scars often diminishes over time but may not disappear completely.
