Liposuction in Turkey
Removing stubborn fat to reshape the body, planned within safe limits, in a JCI-accredited hospital in Adana.
Removing loose skin after bariatric surgery or major weight loss, planned in safe stages, in a JCI-accredited hospital in Adana.
After losing a lot of weight, whether through bariatric surgery or diet and exercise, many people are left with loose skin that doesn’t shrink back. It can hang from the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts and back.
For many people this is not only about appearance. Loose skin can cause rashes and infections in the folds, rub when you walk or exercise, make clothes hard to fit and hide the results of all your hard work. Body contouring removes this skin and reshapes the body, so your outline finally matches the weight you’ve reached.
Timing makes a real difference to your safety and your result:
It doesn’t matter where you had your weight loss surgery. We work with patients who had their bariatric surgery in their home country.
Treating every area in one operation would mean a very long anaesthetic and a much higher risk of complications. That’s why body contouring after major weight loss is usually done in stages, with time to heal in between.
A typical plan might look like this:
Your own plan depends on which areas bother you most, your health and how your body heals. Some patients need only one or two stages. Many people start with the area that affects their daily life the most, often the abdomen. Your surgeon will plan the order and the timing with you.
| Stage | Areas usually treated | Time in Turkey |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Abdomen and waist: extended tummy tuck or lower body lift | About 12 to 14 days |
| Stage 2 (at least 3 months later) | Upper body: arms, breasts and sometimes the upper back | About 10 days |
| Stage 3 (if needed) | Thighs | About 10 days |
Your surgery is performed by a specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. You can find your surgeon’s profile, qualifications and experience on the Our Doctors page.
You’ll speak with your surgeon in your online consultation, before anything is booked. Together you’ll agree a plan for every stage, so you know from the start what to expect.
Removing a lot of skin means long scars. A lower body lift leaves a scar around the waist, usually placed so it can be hidden by underwear. Arm and thigh lifts leave scars along the inner arms and thighs.
The scars are red at first and fade and soften over 12 to 18 months. For many patients after major weight loss, the decision comes down to a simple question: would you rather live with the loose skin or with the scars? Only you can answer it, and we’ll help you weigh it up honestly.
Not included: flights, travel insurance, personal expenses.
These are long operations, and the risks are higher than for most cosmetic procedures:
Your surgeon will go through your personal risks with you before you decide.
Can everything be done in one operation?
Usually not. Combining too many areas makes the operation long and increases the risk of complications. Many patients need two or three stages.
How long after bariatric surgery can I start?
Usually at least 12 to 18 months after surgery, once your weight has been stable for six months and your blood tests are good.
I had my bariatric surgery in another country. Can I still come to you?
Yes. Please bring or send your operation details and recent blood test results.
Will I lose weight from the surgery?
You’ll lose the weight of the skin removed, which can be several kilos after major weight loss, but the aim is shape and comfort, not weight loss.
How many times will I need to travel?
Once for each stage, usually with at least three months in between.
Can someone come with me?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Your companion can stay with you at the hotel.
