Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey

An Extended Tummy Tuck is an advanced body contouring procedure designed for patients who have excess skin and tissue not only on the front of the abdomen but also extending around the flanks and lower waist. Compared to a traditional tummy tuck, an Extended Tummy Tuck addresses a larger treatment area, allowing for more comprehensive contouring of the abdomen, waistline, and sides of the body.

This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy-related body changes, or age-related skin laxity that has resulted in loose skin, stubborn fat deposits, and weakened abdominal muscles. By removing excess skin and tissue from both the abdominal area and the flanks, an Extended Tummy Tuck can create a smoother, firmer, and more sculpted silhouette while improving the overall shape of the waistline.

In addition to removing excess skin, the procedure often includes abdominal muscle repair when necessary. Tightening separated or weakened abdominal muscles can help restore core support, improve abdominal definition, and contribute to a flatter, more toned appearance. The extended incision allows the surgeon to achieve more dramatic contouring results than a standard tummy tuck, particularly for patients with excess tissue extending beyond the hips.

At Revitalize in Turkey, we combine advanced surgical expertise with a personalized approach to body contouring. Our experienced surgeons carefully evaluate each patient’s anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to create a tailored treatment plan that delivers natural-looking, balanced results. Whether you are seeking to restore your body after major weight loss, pregnancy, or simply wish to address excess skin around the abdomen and flanks, an Extended Tummy Tuck can provide a significant improvement in body contours and self-confidence.

Your Procedure in Expert Hands

Your Extended Tummy Tuck procedure is performed by a highly experienced, internationally recognized surgeon specializing in advanced body contouring and aesthetic surgery. With decades of surgical expertise and a distinguished academic background, our lead surgeon combines precision, artistry, and the latest surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking, balanced results tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy.

An Extended Tummy Tuck is a sophisticated body contouring procedure that requires careful planning and surgical expertise due to the larger treatment area involved. Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, the procedure extends beyond the front of the abdomen to address excess skin and tissue around the flanks and waistline. Our surgeon has extensive experience performing comprehensive abdominal contouring procedures designed to create smoother transitions between the abdomen, hips, and lower back while maintaining natural body proportions.

By removing excess skin and tissue, repairing weakened or separated abdominal muscles when necessary, and refining the waistline and flank areas, an Extended Tummy Tuck can produce a flatter abdomen, a more defined waist, and a more harmonious overall silhouette. The procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy-related changes, or skin laxity that extends beyond the central abdominal area.

Every treatment plan is carefully tailored to the individual, taking into consideration your anatomy, skin quality, body composition, previous surgical history, and aesthetic goals. This personalized approach allows us to create results that enhance your natural contours while maintaining balance and proportion throughout the body.

Patient safety and satisfaction remain at the heart of every procedure. From your initial consultation through to your recovery and aftercare, you are supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering the highest standards of care. Through meticulous surgical technique, comprehensive post-operative support, and ongoing follow-up, we strive to achieve exceptional outcomes while ensuring a safe, comfortable, and positive surgical experience.

Extended Tummy Tuck Recovery: What to Expect

Recovery after an Extended Tummy Tuck is a gradual process that focuses on allowing the body to heal properly while achieving the best possible contouring results. Because this procedure addresses not only the abdomen but also extends into the flanks and waistline, patients can expect a recovery process that is generally more extensive than a traditional tummy tuck.

During the first few days after surgery, it is normal to experience swelling, bruising, tightness, and discomfort throughout the abdominal and flank areas. You may initially find it difficult to stand fully upright, as the tissues and abdominal muscles begin to heal. Temporary drainage tubes may be placed to help reduce fluid accumulation and are typically removed during the early stages of recovery, depending on your progress.

Early mobilization is encouraged, and gentle walking is usually recommended shortly after surgery to promote healthy circulation and reduce the risk of complications. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities within two to three weeks. However, strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and physically demanding activities should be avoided for approximately six to eight weeks, or until your surgeon advises otherwise.

As healing progresses, swelling gradually subsides and the new body contours become increasingly visible. Patients often notice a flatter abdomen, a more defined waistline, smoother contours around the flanks, and an overall improvement in body proportions. Final results continue to develop over several months as the tissues settle and scars mature.

Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions, wearing your compression garment as recommended, maintaining a stable weight, and attending all follow-up appointments are essential for achieving the best long-term outcome.

Procedures That Can Be Combined with an Extended Tummy Tuck

An Extended Tummy Tuck is frequently performed as part of a comprehensive body contouring plan, particularly for patients who wish to address excess skin and improve body proportions across multiple areas simultaneously. Combining procedures can help create more balanced, harmonious results while allowing patients to benefit from a single surgical and recovery period rather than undergoing multiple separate operations.

Because an Extended Tummy Tuck already addresses the abdomen, waistline, and flanks, it is often combined with procedures that enhance the contours of the upper body, lower body, or remaining areas affected by skin laxity and stubborn fat deposits.

Depending on your anatomy, overall health, and aesthetic goals, your surgeon may recommend combining your Extended Tummy Tuck with one or more of the following procedures:

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An Arm Lift removes loose, hanging skin from the upper arms, creating a firmer and more toned appearance. It is one of the most frequently combined procedures for patients following major weight loss.

Thigh Lift

A Thigh Lift targets excess skin and tissue on the inner and outer thighs, improving leg contours and reducing discomfort caused by skin rubbing and irritation.

Liposuction

Liposuction can be used alongside a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck to refine body contours and remove localized fat deposits from areas such as the waist, flanks, back, thighs, or arms, helping to create a more sculpted overall result.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A Breast Lift restores a more youthful breast position by addressing sagging and improving breast shape. This procedure is commonly chosen by patients who have experienced changes following weight loss or pregnancy.

Breast Augmentation

For patients seeking additional breast volume, implants can be combined with a Breast Lift or performed independently alongside a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck to improve overall body proportions.

Breast Reduction

A Breast Reduction can relieve discomfort associated with overly large breasts while creating a more balanced silhouette that complements the results of abdominal contouring surgery.

Mommy Makeover

For suitable candidates, a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck can form part of a customized Mommy Makeover, which may include breast enhancement procedures and liposuction to address multiple areas affected by pregnancy and weight fluctuations.

Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Patients)

Male patients who have undergone substantial weight loss may choose to combine a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck with gynecomastia surgery to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

During your consultation, your surgeon will carefully assess your goals, medical history, and overall health to determine which procedures can be safely combined and to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Who Is a Good Candidate for an Extended Tummy Tuck?

An Extended Tummy Tuck is an excellent option for individuals who have excess skin and tissue not only in the abdominal area but also extending to the flanks and waistline. This advanced body contouring procedure is designed for patients who require more comprehensive skin removal and reshaping than can be achieved with a standard tummy tuck, helping to create a flatter abdomen, a more defined waistline, and improved overall body proportions.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have significant excess or hanging skin around the abdomen, waist, or flanks

  • Have experienced substantial weight loss through bariatric surgery, lifestyle changes, or medical weight management

  • Notice loose skin extending beyond the lower abdomen into the sides of the body

  • Have stretched or weakened abdominal muscles that may benefit from surgical repair

  • Struggle with skin irritation, discomfort, or hygiene issues caused by excess skin folds

  • Are close to your target weight and able to maintain a stable weight

  • Are in good overall physical health and suitable for a surgical procedure

  • Do not smoke, or are willing to stop smoking before and after surgery as advised by your surgeon

  • Have realistic expectations regarding the procedure, scars, recovery process, and results

  • Are seeking a long-term solution for excess skin and body contour concerns

The Extended Tummy Tuck is most commonly recommended for patients who have achieved significant weight loss or experienced major body changes after pregnancy, but are left with excess skin that extends beyond the central abdomen and affects the overall waistline contour.

During your consultation, your surgeon will carefully assess your skin quality, body composition, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine whether an Extended Tummy Tuck is the most appropriate procedure for achieving your desired results.

1. Initial Consultation & Assessment

Your journey begins with a detailed online consultation. You will be asked to provide photographs and discuss your medical history, weight loss journey, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

Your Extended Tummy Tuck will be performed in a fully equipped hospital under general anesthesia.
