Advanced Abdominal Tightening for a Flatter Waistline, Firmer Core & Restored Body Confidence
A tummy tuck at Memorial Hospital Turkey is a transformative procedure designed to remove sagging skin, tighten weakened abdominal muscles, and eliminate stubborn fat in the abdomen and waist. Using modern techniques and meticulous surgical planning, Memorial’s expert surgeons reshape the midsection for a firmer, tighter, and more sculpted appearance. This procedure not only enhances physical aesthetics but also supports posture, mobility, and overall confidence.
🩺 What Is Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure performed to tighten the abdominal wall, remove excess skin, and eliminate stubborn fat deposits in the midsection.
It is commonly chosen by individuals with loose skin after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. During the procedure, the abdominal muscles are brought together, the skin is pulled downward to create a firm contour, and the belly button is repositioned for a natural appearance.
Tummy tuck surgery also helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks in the treated area. The operation provides long-lasting improvement when paired with a healthy lifestyle. By strengthening the abdominal wall and tightening the skin, the tummy tuck dramatically enhances core stability and aesthetic harmony.
Patients often experience a boost in confidence and comfort in clothing after recovery. The result is a flatter stomach, smoother waistline, and more proportionate body shape.
🩺 Types of Tummy Tuck Surgery
- Full Abdominoplasty – Removes excess skin and fat from the entire abdomen, tightens the abdominal muscles, and repositions the belly button for comprehensive reshaping.
- Mini-Abdominoplasty – Targets the lower abdomen only and is ideal for mild sagging or stubborn fat below the navel without repositioning the belly button.
- Reverse Abdominoplasty – Lifts sagging upper abdominal skin toward the chest area and is recommended when upper abdominal laxity is the primary concern.
- Circumferential Abdominoplasty – Treats the abdomen, flanks, and lower back, suitable for patients with significant loose skin after major weight loss.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
A tummy tuck is ideal for adults who struggle with loose abdominal skin, weakened muscles, or stubborn belly fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. Candidates should have stable weight, good health, and realistic expectations.
✔️ Individuals with sagging abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss
✔️ Adults over 18 in good medical condition
✔️ People with weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
✔️ Patients wanting a flatter waistline and firmer midsection
✔️ Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
✔️ Individuals close to their ideal weight but needing contour improvement
✔️ Those experiencing back discomfort due to weak abdominal support
✔️ Patients ready to follow postoperative instructions carefully
📝 Consultation & Preparation
The consultation includes a full evaluation of abdominal structure, skin elasticity, muscle condition, and fat distribution. Memorial’s surgeons create a customized plan based on each patient’s needs and goals.
✔️ Comprehensive abdominal examination and assessment of skin laxity
✔️ Identification of muscle separation, hernias, or previous surgical scars
✔️ Review of tummy tuck types and technique selection based on anatomy
✔️ Disclosure of all medications, supplements, and chronic illnesses
✔️ Stopping smoking and alcohol at least 1 week before surgery
✔️ Avoiding food and drink from midnight before the procedure
✔️ Discontinuing blood thinners and herbal supplements 1 week prior
✔️ Clarifying expectations regarding stretch marks and scar location
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery after a tummy tuck requires avoiding strain on the abdomen and wearing supportive garments. Memorial provides detailed instructions to ensure safe healing and optimal contour results.
✔️ Expect difficulty standing fully upright during the first week
✔️ Wearing a postoperative compression corset for the first 2 months
✔️ Avoiding heavy exercise and intense physical activity
✔️ Eating 4–5 hours after surgery unless instructed otherwise
