Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey for Excess Skin Removal

Reshape the abdomen after major weight loss with a Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey at AYT Clinic Antalya, designed to remove significant excess skin both vertically and horizontally for a firmer, more defined abdominal contour.

AYT Clinic offers personalised Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck surgery in Turkey, also known as an FDL tummy tuck or Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, for patients with substantial loose or hanging abdominal skin. This procedure is particularly considered after significant weight loss, including patients who have lost weight following bariatric surgery or major lifestyle changes.

Unlike a standard tummy tuck, which mainly removes excess skin across the lower abdomen, an FDL tummy tuck uses both horizontal and vertical skin removal. This allows the surgeon to address excess skin across the upper and lower abdomen as well as the central waistline, creating a more comprehensive improvement when a conventional abdominoplasty may not be sufficient.

For patients considering a Fleur-de-Lis 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 appropriate, abdominal muscle repair may also be performed as part of the procedure.

Choosing an FDL 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 Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty journey, from initial consultation through recovery.

What is a Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey (FDL Abdominoplasty Antalya)?

A Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey, also known as an FDL tummy tuck or Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove significant excess abdominal skin in both vertical and horizontal directions. It is particularly suitable for patients who have substantial loose skin following major weight loss or bariatric surgery.

Unlike a standard tummy tuck, which primarily removes excess skin from the lower abdomen, a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty includes an additional vertical incision. This allows the surgeon to remove excess skin from the central abdomen and improve the contour of the upper abdomen, lower abdomen and waistline when skin laxity extends across multiple areas.

Patients considering an FDL Tummy Tuck in Antalya undergo an individual assessment of their excess skin, abdominal muscles, previous scars and overall body shape. Where clinically appropriate, the procedure may also include abdominal muscle repair to further improve abdominal support and contour.

At AYT Clinic Antalya, every Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey is individually planned according to the patient's anatomy and degree of skin laxity. For UK patients considering surgery after significant weight loss, the aim is to achieve a firmer, more proportionate abdominal contour while providing structured pre-operative planning and post-operative care.

If your excess skin is limited to the lower abdomen, a standard tummy tuck in Antalya is usually the better option – compare prices and packages here.

Basic Information About Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey (FDL Abdominoplasty Antalya)

This section provides essential information about Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey, including procedure duration, anaesthesia, hospital stay, accommodation and recovery. An FDL tummy tuck is designed for patients with significant excess abdominal skin, particularly following major weight loss or bariatric surgery. For UK patients considering Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty in Antalya, understanding the treatment and recovery process can help you prepare for your surgical journey.

Duration of the Procedure

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck surgery typically takes around 3–5 hours, depending on the amount of excess skin, whether abdominal muscle repair is required and the complexity of the procedure.

Type of Anaesthesia

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

Hospital Stay

An FDL tummy tuck is an inpatient procedure, allowing patients to be closely 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.

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. More strenuous exercise and heavy lifting usually require a longer recovery period. Swelling and scars continue to improve over several months.

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck Surgery Process

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey is a more extensive form of abdominoplasty designed to remove significant excess skin in both vertical and horizontal directions. Often considered after major weight loss or bariatric surgery, the procedure is individually planned to improve the abdomen and waistline when a standard tummy tuck alone may not provide sufficient correction.

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

Understanding Possible Risks After Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck Surgery

A Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey (FDL abdominoplasty) is an extensive body contouring procedure designed to remove significant excess skin from the abdomen, particularly after major weight loss or bariatric surgery. Because the procedure involves both vertical and horizontal skin removal, patients should understand the potential risks and temporary side effects associated with surgery.

At AYT Clinic Antalya, each FDL 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 reduce complications and support a safe recovery.

For UK patients considering Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty in Antalya, the table below explains some of the recognised risks and the measures used to minimise 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 FDL Tummy Tuck surgery.

Seroma (Fluid Accumulation)

Fluid can 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 a Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck involves both vertical and horizontal incisions, some areas can take longer to heal. Careful closure, regular wound checks and personalised aftercare help identify and manage healing concerns early.

Vertical & Horizontal Scarring

An FDL tummy tuck permanently leaves both a vertical abdominal scar and a horizontal lower abdominal scar. Incisions are carefully planned, and appropriate scar-care guidance is provided as healing progresses.

Temporary Numbness or Altered Sensation

Temporary numbness, tingling or changes in abdominal skin sensation can occur after surgery. 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 garments or stockings and blood-thinning medication may be recommended when medically appropriate.

Anaesthesia-Related Risks

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

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck Recovery Timeline

Recovery after a Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck in Turkey is a gradual process because the procedure removes excess skin in both vertical and horizontal directions. Swelling, tightness, scar appearance and abdominal contour continue to improve over several months. At AYT Clinic Antalya, UK and international patients receive personalised aftercare and follow-up guidance throughout their FDL tummy tuck recovery.

Immediately After Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

Swelling, tightness, bruising and discomfort are expected during the first few days. Dressings and a compression garment are used to support the abdomen, and drains may be placed when required. Patients are encouraged to begin gentle walking as advised to support circulation while avoiding unnecessary tension on the vertical and horizontal incisions.

1 Week After FDL Tummy Tuck

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

2–3 Weeks After Fleur-de-Lis 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, and patients should continue following instructions regarding compression garments, wound care and physical activity.

1 Month After FDL Tummy Tuck

By around one month, the abdominal contour becomes more defined as swelling gradually decreases. The incisions continue to heal and mature, although the vertical and horizontal FDL scars may still appear red or prominent. Exercise and heavier activities should only be increased according to the surgeon’s advice.

2–3 Months After Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

Most patients experience a significant improvement in mobility, comfort and abdominal shape. Residual swelling continues to settle, and the abdomen begins to feel more natural. The scars gradually soften and mature, while patients can usually return progressively to their normal exercise routine once medically cleared.

6 Months After Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

At six months, much of the swelling has usually resolved and the Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck results are becoming more established. The abdomen appears flatter and more defined, particularly in patients treated for significant excess skin after major weight loss. The vertical and horizontal scars continue to fade and mature and may keep improving for 12–18 months.

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

I am one year post op from my gastric sleeve surgery. 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.

had an amazing experience with Dr. Mehmet Ali Korkmaz from the very beginning until the end of my journey. He is extremely professional, talented, and truly cares about his patients. 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.
