When it comes to abdominal rejuvenation, there is no "one size fits all." Whether you are looking to correct minor postpartum changes or require a total transformation after massive weight loss, Visit Plus Care offers a range of Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) variations.
Our goal is to match the right surgical technique to your specific anatomy, ensuring the best possible contour with the shortest possible recovery time.
Explore our specialized variations to see which procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Ideal for patients who have good skin elasticity but a small "pooch" or excess skin located strictly below the navel.
The Procedure: A shorter horizontal incision (similar to a C-section scar). It focuses on the lower abdomen without repositioning the belly button.
Best For: Patients close to their ideal weight with localized lower abdominal laxity.
The most common choice for women after pregnancy or individuals with moderate weight fluctuations.
The Procedure: An incision is made from hip to hip. The surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles (Diastasis Recti repair), removes excess skin, and creates a new, natural-looking opening for the belly button.
Best For: Addressing sagging skin and muscle weakness in both the upper and lower abdomen.
This variation goes a step further by extending the horizontal incision toward the flanks (love handles).
The Procedure: Targets not just the stomach, but also the "muffin top" area. It provides a more comprehensive contouring of the waistline.
Best For: Patients who have excess skin that wraps around to the sides of the hips.
A specialized procedure for those who have achieved massive weight loss.
The Procedure: Involves both a horizontal and a vertical incision. This allows the surgeon to pull skin downward and inward, addressing extreme vertical and horizontal laxity.
Best For: Post-bariatric patients with significant "hanging" skin.
The ultimate body contouring procedure.
The Procedure: The incision travels all the way around the waist. This addresses the abdomen, the hips, and lifts the buttocks/outer thighs.
Best For: Patients requiring total mid-section and lower-body rejuvenation.
At Visit Plus Care, we don't just remove skin. Every full tummy tuck includes muscle plication to repair "Diastasis Recti" (separated stomach muscles). This restores core strength and flattens the stomach profile from the inside out.
To ensure a seamless transition and a "snatched" waistline, our surgeons often combine tummy tucks with Vaser Liposuction on the flanks. This ensures you don't just have a flat stomach, but a beautifully contoured silhouette.
We have optimized our recovery protocol for international patients. To ensure your safety and monitor your initial healing, we require a stay of 5 to 7 nights in Istanbul.
Nights 1-2: Spent in our JCI-accredited hospital under professional medical observation.
Nights 3-7: Spent in a luxury 5-star hotel. During this time, you will have follow-up visits with your surgeon to check your drains and incisions.
Day 7: Final check-up and drain removal (if applicable). You are then cleared to fly home with a comprehensive aftercare kit.

1. Can I have a Tummy Tuck if I plan to get pregnant again? It is medically possible, but we highly recommend waiting until you have finished having children to ensure the longevity of your results.
2. How do you hide the scars? For most variations (except FDL), the incision is placed very low—well within the "bikini line"—so it is easily hidden by underwear or swimwear.
3. When can I return to work? Most patients can return to light desk work within 2 weeks of returning home. However, you should avoid heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks.
