Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Overview

A tummy tuck in Antalya (abdominoplasty) reshapes the midsection by removing excess skin and fat and repairing abdominal muscles that have separated or weakened — often after pregnancy or significant weight change. The result is a flatter, firmer, more toned abdominal profile that diet and exercise alone may not achieve.

Dr. Duygu Aksoy tailors each abdominoplasty to your anatomy, whether you need a full or mini tummy tuck.

Is it right for you?

• You have loose or excess abdominal skin that does not respond to exercise
• Your abdominal muscles have separated (diastasis recti)
• You are at or near a stable, healthy weight
• You have completed your family, if pregnancy is a consideration
• You are a non-smoker in good general health

How the procedure is performed

A tummy tuck is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes around two to four hours. Through a discreet, low horizontal incision, separated muscles are repaired, excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is re-draped for a smooth contour. The belly button is repositioned naturally where needed.

Recovery & timeline

You will rest with a slightly bent posture for the first days and wear a supportive garment for several weeks. Many patients return to desk work in about two to three weeks, avoiding strenuous activity and heavy lifting until around six weeks. Swelling continues to settle over the following months.

Results

A tummy tuck aims to produce a flatter, firmer abdomen and a more defined waistline that typically lasts with a stable weight. Maintaining your results is supported by healthy habits. Outcomes vary between individuals.
