Tummy Tuck in Turkey. What to Know About Abdominoplasty in Istanbul. Dr Huseyin Kandulu

A tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) is one of the most discussed body contouring surgeries for people who feel their midsection no longer matches how they live, eat, and exercise. Loose skin after pregnancy, weight changes, or natural aging can be stubborn. Even when someone is active and at a stable weight, the abdomen may not “bounce back” the way they hope.
Turkey, and particularly Istanbul, is frequently considered for cosmetic surgery because it is a major medical hub with experienced surgeons and established private clinics. Still, the most important decision is not the destination—it is the plan: the right procedure for your body, performed by a qualified surgeon, with a recovery schedule you can realistically follow.
This article walks you through tummy tuck basics, candidacy, recovery, safety questions to ask, and practical travel planning.
What Is a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour of the abdomen by addressing some combination of:
Excess abdominal skin
Localized fat that doesn’t respond to lifestyle efforts
Abdominal muscle laxity or separation (often discussed as diastasis in postpartum cases)
Cost Considerations: What Actually Changes the Quote?
Many people search for tummy tuck Turkey cost, but prices can’t be compared fairly without context. Cost is usually influenced by:
Procedure type (mini vs. full vs. extended)
Whether muscle repair is planned
Facility and anesthesia fees
Complexity factors (previous abdominal surgery, degree of laxity)
What aftercare is included (garments, medications, follow-up visits)
If a quote is dramatically lower than others, ask what is excluded and how aftercare is structured.
