Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey

Extended Abdominoplasty in Turkey for Abdomen, Hips and Flanks

Improve the contour of the abdomen, waist and flanks with an Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey at AYT Clinic Antalya, designed to remove excess skin that extends beyond the front of the abdomen towards the hips and sides of the waist.

AYT Clinic offers personalised Extended Tummy Tuck surgery in Turkey, also known as extended abdominoplasty, for patients with significant loose or hanging abdominal skin that cannot be adequately addressed with a standard tummy tuck. The procedure is particularly considered after major weight loss, pregnancy or significant changes in body shape.

Unlike a standard tummy tuck, which primarily treats the front of the abdomen, an Extended Tummy Tuck uses a longer horizontal incision extending towards the hips. This allows the surgeon to remove and tighten excess skin across the lower abdomen, waist and flanks, helping create a smoother transition between the abdomen and surrounding body contours.

For patients considering an Extended Tummy Tuck in Antalya, treatment is individually planned according to the amount and distribution of excess skin, abdominal muscle condition, previous surgery, scarring and overall body proportions. Where clinically appropriate, abdominal muscle repair or liposuction may also be incorporated into the surgical plan.

An Extended Tummy Tuck after weight loss may be particularly suitable for patients whose loose skin extends around the sides of the abdomen and who require more extensive correction than conventional abdominoplasty can provide. The most appropriate technique is determined following an individual surgical assessment.

Choosing an Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey gives UK patients access to experienced plastic surgeons and structured surgical care in Antalya. At AYT Clinic Antalya, detailed pre-operative assessment and personalised aftercare support patients throughout their extended abdominoplasty journey, from initial consultation through recovery.

What is an Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey (Extended Abdominoplasty Antalya)?

An Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey, also known as extended abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and improve laxity across the abdomen, hips and flanks. It is more extensive than a standard tummy tuck and may be particularly suitable for patients with loose skin extending beyond the front of the abdomen following significant weight loss, pregnancy or changes in body shape.

Unlike a standard tummy tuck, which primarily focuses on the front of the abdomen, an Extended Tummy Tuck uses a longer horizontal incision that extends further towards the hips. This allows the surgeon to remove excess skin from a wider area and improve the contour of the lower abdomen, waistline and flanks.

Patients considering an Extended Tummy Tuck in Antalya undergo an individual assessment of skin laxity, abdominal muscles, fat distribution, previous scars and overall body proportions. Where clinically appropriate, the procedure may also be combined with abdominal muscle repair or liposuction to further improve abdominal and waist contour.

An Extended Tummy Tuck after weight loss can be particularly beneficial when excess skin continues around the sides of the waist and cannot be adequately corrected with conventional abdominoplasty. The appropriate extent of skin removal and incision length is determined individually according to each patient's anatomy.

At AYT Clinic Antalya, every Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey is individually planned according to the patient's anatomy and degree of skin laxity. For UK patients considering surgery abroad, treatment includes personalised surgical planning and structured post-operative care throughout the recovery journey. If your loose skin is mainly at the front of the abdomen, a standard tummy tuck in Antalya may be enough – compare prices and packages here.

Basic Information About Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey (Extended Abdominoplasty Antalya)

This section provides essential information about an Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey, including procedure duration, anaesthesia, hospital stay, accommodation and recovery. An extended abdominoplasty is designed for patients with excess skin extending beyond the abdomen towards the hips and flanks, often following significant weight loss or pregnancy. For UK patients considering an Extended Tummy Tuck in Antalya, understanding the treatment and recovery process can help you prepare for your surgical journey.

Duration of the Procedure

Extended Tummy Tuck surgery typically takes around 3–5 hours, depending on the amount of excess skin, whether abdominal muscle repair or liposuction is required, and the overall complexity of the procedure.

Type of Anaesthesia

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia following a detailed pre-operative medical assessment and anaesthetic evaluation.

Hospital Stay

An Extended Tummy Tuck is an inpatient procedure, allowing patients to be medically monitored during the early post-operative period.

Hospital & Accommodation

Patients typically stay 1–2 nights in hospital, followed by several nights in Antalya for recovery and scheduled post-operative checks before travelling home to the UK.

Possible Post-Surgery Effects

Common: Swelling, bruising, tightness, temporary numbness and abdominal discomfort.
Less common: Seroma, delayed wound healing, infection, bleeding or blood clots.

Recovery Period

Most patients gradually return to light daily activities within 10–14 days, although recovery varies according to the extent of surgery. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise require a longer recovery period. Swelling continues to decrease and the abdomen, waist and flank contour gradually settles over the following months.

Extended Tummy Tuck Surgery Process

An Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey is a more comprehensive form of abdominoplasty designed to remove excess skin extending beyond the front of the abdomen towards the hips and flanks. Often considered after significant weight loss or pregnancy, the procedure can improve the lower abdomen and waistline when a standard tummy tuck may not provide sufficient correction.

Before Extended Tummy Tuck surgery, the surgeon assesses the amount and distribution of excess skin, abdominal muscle condition, waist and flank laxity, previous scars and overall body proportions. Surgical markings are made before the procedure, which is performed under general anaesthesia.

Understanding Possible Risks After Extended Tummy Tuck Surgery

An Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey (extended abdominoplasty) is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin extending across the abdomen towards the hips and flanks. It is often considered after significant weight loss, pregnancy or major changes in body shape. As the procedure treats a wider area than a standard tummy tuck, patients should understand the recognised risks and temporary post-operative effects associated with surgery.

At AYT Clinic Antalya, each Extended Tummy Tuck is individually planned following a detailed medical assessment. Careful surgical planning, early mobilisation, wound monitoring and structured post-operative care are used to help minimise complications and support recovery.

For UK patients considering Extended Tummy Tuck surgery in Antalya, the table below explains some of the recognised risks and the measures used to reduce them.

Possible risksOur preventive measures
Infection

Pre-operative health assessments, sterile surgical protocols, appropriate medication when indicated and detailed wound-care instructions are used to help minimise the risk of infection after Extended Tummy Tuck surgery.

Seroma (Fluid Accumulation)

Fluid may collect beneath the skin following extensive abdominal surgery. Patients are closely monitored after surgery, and drains or other management may be used when clinically appropriate.

Delayed Wound Healing

Because an Extended Tummy Tuck involves a longer incision extending towards the hips, some areas may take longer to heal. Careful wound closure, regular checks and personalised aftercare help identify and manage healing concerns early.

Extended Scarring

An Extended Tummy Tuck permanently leaves a horizontal scar across the lower abdomen that extends further towards the hips than a standard tummy tuck scar. Incisions are carefully planned, and scar-care guidance is provided during recovery.

Temporary Numbness or Altered Sensation

Temporary numbness, tingling or changes in sensation around the abdomen, hips or incision area can occur. Sensation often improves gradually as tissues and nerves recover, although some changes may persist.

Blood Clots (DVT/PE)

Early mobilisation and individual risk assessment are important following major abdominal surgery. Compression stockings and blood-thinning medication may be recommended when medically appropriate.

Bleeding or Haematoma

Bleeding or a collection of blood beneath the tissues is an uncommon but recognised surgical risk. Careful surgical haemostasis and post-operative monitoring are used to identify and manage concerns promptly.

Anaesthesia-Related Risks

Patients undergo pre-operative medical and anaesthetic assessment before surgery and are monitored throughout the procedure and early recovery period.

Extended Tummy Tuck Recovery Timeline

Recovery after an Extended Tummy Tuck in Turkey is a gradual process as the procedure removes excess skin across the abdomen and extends towards the hips and flanks. Swelling, tightness, mobility and scar appearance continue to improve over several months. At AYT Clinic Antalya, UK and international patients receive personalised aftercare and follow-up guidance throughout their extended tummy tuck recovery.

Immediately After Extended Tummy Tuck

Swelling, tightness, bruising and discomfort are expected during the first few days after extended abdominoplasty. Dressings and a compression garment are used to support the abdomen, while drains may be placed when required. Patients are encouraged to begin gentle walking as advised to support circulation. Standing fully upright may initially feel uncomfortable because of tension across the lower abdomen and extended incision.

1 Week After Extended Tummy Tuck

During the first week, swelling and tightness remain noticeable but usually begin to improve. Walking gradually becomes easier, although patients may still feel more comfortable slightly bent forward. The abdominal and flank incision areas are carefully monitored, and strenuous activity, lifting and stretching should be avoided.

2–3 Weeks After Extended Tummy Tuck

Mobility and comfort generally improve significantly. Many patients can gradually return to light daily activities and non-physical work, depending on their individual recovery. Swelling may still be present around the abdomen, waist and flanks. Compression garments and wound-care instructions should continue according to the surgeon's advice.

1 Month After Extended Tummy Tuck

By approximately one month, the abdominal and waist contour usually becomes more defined as swelling decreases. The extended incision continues to heal and may still appear pink, red or firm. Patients generally feel more comfortable standing upright and moving normally, although heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should only be resumed with medical approval.

2–3 Months After Extended Tummy Tuck

Between two and three months, residual swelling continues to settle and the abdomen, hips and flanks begin to show a more established contour. The scar gradually starts to soften and mature. Many patients can progressively return to their usual exercise routine once cleared by their surgeon, while temporary numbness or tightness may continue to improve.

6 Months After Extended Tummy Tuck

By six months, the Extended Tummy Tuck results are usually much more established, with significantly reduced swelling and a firmer, more defined abdominal and waistline contour. The scar continues to mature, flatten and fade, although extended tummy tuck scars can take 12–18 months or longer to fully mature. Individual healing varies, and maintaining a stable weight can help support long-term results.

The procedure didn’t hurt and took less than an hour

went to AYT for upper eye surgery, and I am delighted with the results. Most of the bruising had gone very quickly after 7 days of taking Arnica tablets (bought in the UK; they don’t seem to sell the tablets in Turkey) and using the Arnica cream provided by AYT.

It is well worth the money to have it done. The procedure didn’t hurt and took less than an hour. I didn’t need to take any painkillers, I just took 2 paracetamol after the local anaesthetic wore off, and that was all. Everything was explained by the Surgeon in English, and Olivia was excellent at answering any queries, and she was always available to answer me.
The stitches were easy to remove when I returned home. I would recommend!

It’s the best decision I made to use this clinic; they gave me all the information I needed and asked about, kept me at ease, were very helpful on any questions I had, made me feel so welcome, and they were always on hand. My surgeon dr nail times was amazing, as were all the experts and the team of medical staff. Definitely will use again in future.

He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process.
The results honestly exceeded my expectations. Everything looks very natural, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for. The care and attention from both Dr. Mehmet Ali Korkmaz and his team were exceptional, and I always felt safe and supported.
