Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about body lift in Turkey
What is a body lift?
A body lift (belt lipectomy or lower body lift) is a comprehensive procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and outer thighs in one surgery. It's the gold standard for post-bariatric body contouring after massive weight loss.
How is body lift different from tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck only addresses the front abdomen. A body lift is circumferential - it extends around the entire lower torso, treating the abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks, and outer thighs. Body lift provides a 360° transformation ideal after massive weight loss.
Am I a good candidate for body lift?
Ideal candidates have significant excess skin around the entire midsection and lower body, typically after losing 100+ pounds through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes. You should be at a stable weight for 6+ months, in good health, and have realistic expectations.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
We recommend 7-10 nights in Istanbul for body lift. Day 1: Arrival. Day 2: Consultation. Day 3: Surgery with 2-3 nights hospital stay. Day 4-7: Hospital monitoring and hotel recovery. Day 8-10: Follow-ups and departure.
Is body lift safe in Turkey?
Yes. Our procedures are performed in JCI-accredited hospitals by board-certified plastic surgeons experienced in post-bariatric body contouring. Extended hospital stays ensure proper monitoring for this major surgery.
Where will the scars be?
The main scar runs around the entire waist like a belt, positioned at the bikini/underwear line. Additional vertical scars may be placed depending on the amount of skin removed. Scars are positioned to be concealed by underwear and fade over 12-18 months.
What is the recovery like?
Body lift has significant recovery. Expect swelling and discomfort for 4-6 weeks. Wear compression garment for 8-12 weeks. Drains may be required for 1-2 weeks. Most return to work at 3-4 weeks (desk job). Avoid strenuous activity for 8-12 weeks. Final results at 6-12 months.
Can body lift be combined with other procedures?
Due to its extensive nature, body lift is typically performed alone. However, some patients stage multiple procedures, having body lift first, then arm lift or breast surgery in a second surgery 3-6 months later. Your surgeon will recommend the safest approach.
How much skin will be removed?
The amount varies significantly per patient but can be substantial - often 5-15+ pounds of excess skin and tissue. Your surgeon will remove the maximum safe amount to create smooth, natural-looking contours around the entire lower body.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, removed skin and fat are permanently gone. Results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight. This is why we recommend being at goal weight for 6+ months before surgery. Healthy lifestyle preserves your transformation.
Why is body lift cheaper in Turkey?
Lower operating costs, favorable exchange rates, high procedure volume, and government support for medical tourism allow premium care at lower prices. Turkey is a global leader in post-bariatric surgery with extensive expertise.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfer, credit/debit cards, and cash payment. A deposit secures your booking, with the balance due before the procedure. All prices are fully inclusive with no hidden fees.
