From the moment I enquired with Global Medical Care I have received constant communication, flying to Turkey for surgery is very daunting, however we were made to feel welcome and relaxed. Our Dr has been incredible, he must have visited us 8/9 times during our stay, answering any questions, and really made me feel that he cared. Our translator Sammy was on hand to help with anything we needed and even a rep from GMC came and saw us and spent time with us.
Gastric Sleeve is a big operation and the team made us feel so supported. Our surgeon has just text even after discharge. I can’t thank you all enough. My life has completely changed.

Just on my last day before travelling back home to England, after having a gastric sleeve with Dr Yalim Ucktum via Global Medical Care. Right from the initial contact, I felt confident in my decision and comforted by every question answered by them.
When we got to Turkey, everything was ready, the transfers were lovely big Mercedes, when we got to the hospital for our first night, our English translator was there straight away and ordered us dinner. We started with our first test which then carried on the next morning, there are so many tests and this was really reassuring. Our doctor came to visit us before our op and just is the loveliest man. The Global Medical Care team were also there, which was lovely as we had been speaking with them for so long.
The op itself went really well, and we’ve had great after care from the whole team, including the doctor who kept coming to check on us.
I would recommend over and over.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TUMMY TUCK

A tummy tuck tends to be sought after a person has lost a significant amount of weight, leaving them with a lot of excess loose skin. Losing weight is a fantastic achievement, but it can be very upsetting when the end result is a lot of excess skin. A tummy tuck can ensure you have the smooth and toned appearance you are looking for. A lot of women also decide to have tummy tucks after losing their pregnancy weight. While having a child is the most incredible experience, it can leave a lot of women lacking in confidence, as their skin won’t return to its pre-pregnancy state.

During this operation, two incisions will be made: one from the hip bone on one side to the hipbone on the other side of the body, close to the pubic area, the other incision around the navel. The skin will be separated from the abdominal muscles. The abdominal muscles are then pulled together and stitched into place for a more narrowed waist and firmer abdomen. The separated flap of skin is then stretched over the newly tightened muscles and excess skin is removed. The navel is reattached to a position where it looks natural. The incisions are closed and a sterile dressing is applied over the area.

Your doctor will advise on a specific timeline for your treatment, as all of this depends on the specific circumstances of your surgery; for example, whether you have had a full tummy tuck or a partial tummy tuck. A tummy tuck has a recovery period of roughly six weeks, so it is important to carefully consider when you are going to have this procedure. You won’t be able to exercise for around four to six weeks after the procedure either, nor will you be able to drive for a few weeks.

FAQ - TUMMY TUCK

Shaped_Belly

Can I combine a tummy tuck procedure with breast surgery?

Some of our patients choose to have breast surgery together with the tummy tuck procedures. Patients with children prefer to have both operations together. Having a child may have some negative effects on the abdominal area as well as breasts. So the patient has a chance to have both procedures done in one sitting at favorable rates.

Can stretch marks caused by the pregnancy be removed with a (abdominoplasty) tummy tuck?

As a consequence of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedure, all the stretch marks caused by pregnancy are removed from your lower abdomen area. The upper stretch marks can also be moved to downward and can be treated as well later on.

Do I need any special aftercare?

You should carry on with your activities slowly. The feeling of exhaustion is normal for the first few days but you can return your routine activities within one week. You also need to follow the prescription that the surgeon set for you.

How long must I wear a compression garment?

A comfortable compression garment should be worn for six weeks.

Is it okay to have liposuction and abdominoplasty (the tummy tuck) procedure at the same time?

Yes, it is! Most patients prefer to have the tummy tuck and liposuction procedures at the same time. It is also easier for the surgeon to have two separate procedures in one sitting while you are already in the operating theatre. This also decreases the possibility of having additional liposuction surgery after abdominoplasty.

Is it possible to perform abdominoplasty on a male patient?

There are many male patients who go ahead with the abdominoplasty procedure. Most of the male patients prefer the operation in order to lose excess fat over the abdomen area.

What are the different incision techniques for abdominoplasty?

There are different incision techniques in tummy tuck procedures. Straight and horizontal incision lines and V shape incision lines can be considered as traditional incision techniques for tummy tuck procedures. Most of our surgeons prefer the incision on your bikini line. Thus, you do not need to cover your whole tummy tuck incision with your clothing. The scar will be covered by your underwear.
