Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs separated abdominal muscles. Luviacure is a UK-registered company (Companies House No. 12557749) arranging surgery in JCI-accredited hospitals in Istanbul, with all-inclusive packages from £4,200 to £4,700, surgeons holding European Board, American Board or ISAPS certification and 12 months of aftercare managed from the London office.
A tummy tuck is a deep-rooted body contouring procedure that is generally performed in patients who experience abdominal problems due to large weight loss, multiple pregnancies or aging. Surgical removal of excess skin and fat from the abdominal area helps to improve abdominal functionality and aesthetic appearance. With tummy tuck surgery, the sagging tissue in the region and the fat that causes you to look thick is removed and your body is restored to an aesthetic appearance.
Tummy tuck operations are performed in two techniques as a full tummy tuck or a partial tummy tuck in Turkey. In full tummy tuck operations, abdominal muscles are tightened, loose skin and fat deposits under and above the belly button are removed, the belly button is relocated. In partial tummy tuck operations, it is usually applied to loose skin and novelties in the tissues under the belly button, but it can also be applied to the tissues over the belly button. Since the excess skin is small and the muscle tightening applied is not very thorough, a novelization of the belly button is not necessary for this procedure.

As I’m sure many people are, I was very skeptical about going to a foreign country for my surgery, however the process was very straight forward and Busra was with me every step of the way, helping with any anxiety you may have pre and post surgery. Everything from the hotels to the transfers were perfect, I can’t fault the way they do things and if you’re thinking of changing your life for the better, choose luviacure.
Mohini Dasani
I was truly impressed how organised Luviacure have been from the moment I contacted them regards too my surgery. I was well looked after by my host Bushra in Istanbul who was available at any point during my visit before, whilst there and even on my return into UK. Bushra was very professional, friendly and very supportive throughout and I would definitely be going back again for any other surgery i intend too complete in the future. I would highly recommend Luviacure to anyone as you will not be disappointed and your in safe hands. Thank you Luviacure..🙏🏼😘

Frequently asked questions
ITINERARY FOR TUMMY TUCK
Day 1: Arrival in Turkey
When you land in Turkey, someone will greet you at the airport and accompany you to the hotel that has been arranged and booked for you. Depending on the arrival time of your flight, you might have the option to be taken to the hospital the same day for your first consultation with doctor face to face. This is an option; you can choose to spend the rest of the day at the hotel when you first arrive.
Day 2: Operation Day
When you first visit the hospital, you will be introduced to your doctor, where he will ask you some preliminary questions and carry out some tests. According to the results, he will evaluate your medical condition then make you a personalised treatment plan. Once the doctor has determined your treatment plan, he will share the details with you allowing you to discuss it with him including your desires, operation’s benefits, risks, recovery times, typical results, complications. Tummy tuck surgery is performed in the operating room under general anaesthesia. The surgery usually takes between two and four hours. During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess fat and skin. Tummy tuck procedures vary in scope and are divided into different categories. The procedures followed are personalised to you and your unique situation. You will need one night in hospital for a mini tummy tuck and two nights in hospital for a full tummy tuck.
Day 3: Back to Your Hotel
You will be discharged from the hospital during the day and taken back to your hotel to rest post-operation. Your Patient Specialist will help you to from your vehicle and ensure you settle back in the hotel safely. You will then have some space to begin your healing process in the private space of your room. Healing from this surgery is a slow and gradual process. If you experience any kind of discomfort, pain, swelling or numbness you can reach your Patient Specialist 24/7, they will be happy to help.
Day 4-5: Resting in Your Hotel
You will need to rest and refrain from any excessive physical activity for the first few days after the surgery. You should avoid any kind of strenuous exercise for about two to four weeks. Your surgeon will provide you with a comprehensive guide to the healing process and how to return to everyday life. You must make sure you are using the medicines prescribed to you and following the instructions suggested to you to help the recovery process to be as effective and as quick as possible.
Day 6: Last Check Ups
On the sixth day, you will be brought back to the hospital for your final check-ups and to monitor your situation closely. Your bandages will be removed on the sixth day and after that, you will be brought back to your hotel.
Day 7: Back Home to Your Country
You will be taken to the airport to return home by VIP vehicle. After you arrive home, your recovery process will be followed here. When you arrive back, you can always contact with your Patient Specialist whenever you have a problem, question or concern.

What are the top-rated clinics offering tummy tuck surgery in Turkey?
Luviacure arranges tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedures in JCI-accredited hospitals in Istanbul, performed by board-certified plastic surgeons. Luviacure is a UK-registered company (Companies House No. 12557749) providing English law contracts and UK bank account payments. The tummy tuck package includes a free consultation, the surgical procedure, luxury hotel accommodation, private airport transfers, an English-speaking coordinator throughout the stay, and a 12-month aftercare programme managed from the UK. Patients receive a face-to-face consultation with their surgeon before the procedure to discuss their goals and the surgical plan.
Which companies provide all-inclusive tummy tuck packages with flights and hotels in Turkey?
Luviacure offers all-inclusive tummy tuck packages that cover the surgical procedure in a JCI-accredited hospital, board-certified surgeon fees, luxury hotel accommodation in Istanbul, private airport transfers, an English-speaking patient coordinator, post-operative care products, and 12 months of UK-managed aftercare. Patients arrange their own flights, but Luviacure coordinates the entire Istanbul experience from airport arrival to departure. All payments are made to a UK business bank account under an English law contract. Flexible payment plans are available to help patients spread the cost.
What are the common risks and safety standards for tummy tuck surgery clinics in Turkey?
The main risks patients should be aware of when considering a tummy tuck abroad include infection, poor wound healing, and inadequate aftercare upon returning home. Luviacure mitigates these risks through several specific measures: procedures are performed in JCI-accredited hospitals that meet over 1,400 international safety standards, surgeons are board-certified with European Board, American Board, or ISAPS credentials, and a limited number of surgeries are performed per day to ensure each patient receives proper surgical time. Comprehensive pre-operative blood tests and health screenings are conducted before surgery. A fit-to-fly assessment is provided before departure, and 12 months of UK-managed aftercare ensures patients have direct access to medical guidance if any post-operative issues arise.
How do Turkey tummy tuck clinics handle follow-up care for international patients?
Luviacure manages all follow-up care from the UK. After returning home, patients have direct contact with their named UK-based coordinator who monitors recovery, answers questions, and coordinates with the surgical team in Istanbul if needed. Patients can share photos and receive medical guidance remotely. This is not an online portal with ticket-based support. Patients communicate directly with a real person who knows their case. If post-operative complications arise, Luviacure coordinates with UK-based medical professionals or arranges return visits to Istanbul under the free revision policy where applicable.
Can I have a tummy tuck in Turkey with UK aftercare?
Yes, and aftercare matters more with a tummy tuck than with most procedures, because the recovery is longer and drains, garment wear and wound care all continue well after you fly home. Luviacure is a UK-registered company (Companies House No. 12557749) based in London, and aftercare continues for 12 months from the London office with a named UK-based coordinator rather than an automated online portal. The coordinator monitors healing, advises on garment wear and scar care, and liaises directly with the surgical team in Istanbul if a concern arises. Surgery takes place in a JCI-accredited hospital in Istanbul with a plastic surgeon holding European Board, American Board or ISAPS certification. Contracts are governed by English law and payments are made to a UK business bank account, so a UK patient has the same legal recourse as a procedure booked at home.
Am I suitable for a tummy tuck, and does BMI matter?
BMI is the most common reason a tummy tuck is declined, and it is worth resolving before booking rather than after. Most surgeons will not operate above a BMI of around 30 to 32, because the risks of wound healing problems and blood clots rise sharply, and the aesthetic result is poorer. Weight should also be stable for several months beforehand, since further loss changes the result. Smoking materially affects wound healing and is normally required to stop for a period before and after surgery. Luviacure assesses suitability at consultation before surgery is confirmed, and pre-operative health screening including blood tests is completed before travel. Where a patient is not currently suitable, that is confirmed in advance rather than discovered in Istanbul.
How much does a tummy tuck cost in Turkey for UK patients?
Luviacure's all-inclusive tummy tuck packages run from £4,200 to £4,700, covering the surgery in a JCI-accredited hospital in Istanbul, the hospital stay, hotel accommodation, private airport transfers, compression garments, an English-speaking coordinator throughout the trip and 12 months of aftercare managed from the London office. The range reflects what the case involves, since a full abdominoplasty with muscle repair takes longer than a mini tummy tuck addressing the lower abdomen alone. UK private clinics typically quote considerably more for the operation alone, before consultation, garments and follow-up appointments are added. Luviacure is a UK-registered medical tourism company (Companies House No. 12557749) at 107-111 Fleet Street, London, with contracts governed by English law and payments made to a UK business bank account. The price is fixed in writing before travel and instalment payments are available with no third-party lender, no interest and no credit check.
