Tummy Tuck
Istanbul, Turkey — Board-Certified, Every Price Published
Fat or Skin? That Is the Whole Page.
Every operation here that removes skin is one flat figure. Liposuction is the only item priced by quantity — so it is the only place a plan can grow, and it is exactly the operation that makes a loose-skin complaint worse. Pinch the skin and let go.
Three cases, the same complaint described the same way, needing three different operations. One was fat with good recoil. One was loose skin that liposuction would have made worse. One was both, staged. Shared with written patient consent and captioned with the operation and the pinch-test finding behind it.

Liposuction

Tummy Tuck

Mommy Makeover
Recorded with patient consent. Three of these four asked for liposuction and were told the pinch test said otherwise — and in two of the three, the operation they were sent to cost less than the one they asked for.

Eight operations and one rule that decides between them: the examination separates fat from skin before anything is priced.

€4,000
Skin excised through a low transverse incision and the separated muscle wall repaired. It treats what liposuction cannot reach: loose skin and a gap between the abdominal muscles.
Loose abdominal skin, a separated muscle wall, or both — commonly after pregnancy or weight loss.
One night in hospital, six in Istanbul. Desk work at two to three weeks; the scar matures across a year.

Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dr Emre G. qualified in medicine at Uludağ University in 2007 and completed his specialist training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Bezmialem Vakıf University between 2008 and 2014, with a research post at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. He has worked in both public hospitals and private practice, and the reconstructive half of that training shows in how he plans an aesthetic case. He practises at Natural Clinic in Istanbul.
Education
Yes, and what to verify has nothing to do with geography. Two questions do the work: what did the pinch test show over each area, in writing, and if the answer is liposuction, which zones by name?

High case volume buys evenness, and the correct call between two similar findings. Neither improves with equipment.

The pinch-test result for each area, the operation it calls for, and any liposuction zones named and counted — in writing, before you fly.

Lower operating costs and the exchange rate produce a real difference, without lower-grade care or a shorter stay.

The stay follows the operation rather than a package, and the flight date is set by the surgical team.

Every appointment is coordinated in English, with Dutch on request, and your interpreter is free from consultation to discharge.

Skin removal is a flat fee; fat removal is priced by zone. Knowing which you need comes before any quote.
Skin that snaps back flat can shrink onto a smaller contour after liposuction. Skin that stays where you left it needs a lift instead.
Your plan records the pinch result area by area, names any liposuction zones and prices them, or lists the flat lift fee.
Zones and incisions are drawn on you standing. When the plan changes here, it usually gets smaller.
Calf pumps run throughout because venous thromboembolism is the serious systemic risk of body surgery.
Stays range from four to eight nights with one or two on the ward; long-haul travel adds clot risk, so the surgeon picks the date.
Half the swelling has usually gone by week six. Stable weight is what keeps the result.
A five-second pinch test often decides which body surgery you need. These answers explain the rest.
Body surgery at Natural Clinic includes liposuction in several variations, tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift, mommy makeover, arm lift, thigh lift, back lift, body lift and calf implants. Each targets a different combination of excess fat, loose skin and missing volume, so the first step is identifying which of these applies to you.
The key question is whether the problem is fat, loose skin or both. Surgeons examine each area, assess skin elasticity with a pinch test and consider your weight history. Fat with good skin usually suits liposuction, while loose skin needs a lift or tuck to remove it.
The pinch test is a simple way to judge skin recoil. Pinch the skin over the area of concern and let go: if it springs back flat quickly, liposuction can often give a good result; if it stays creased or returns slowly, skin removal surgery is usually needed instead.
Grouped by the answer to the pinch test rather than by body part. The first group takes fat out and leaves no scar, the second takes skin off and leaves one, the third adds volume.
Personalised Care, Just for You
Send photographs standing relaxed — front, both sides and back — plus a close photograph of the skin over each area held between two fingers, and say whether it springs back.
