Research online reviews and testimonials from previous patients who underwent reverse tummy tucks at the clinic. Request before-and-after photos from the clinic to assess their work quality and success rates.
If complications arise post-surgery, contact your Turkish surgeon immediately for advice. Additionally, seek prompt medical attention locally to address any urgent health concerns.
Many clinics offer packages that include airport transfers and hotel accommodations. It's advisable to book flights well in advance and confirm all travel arrangements with the clinic to ensure a smooth experience.
While packages often include surgery, accommodation, and transfers, additional costs may arise from medications, extended hotel stays, or unforeseen medical needs. Clarify all included services beforehand to avoid unexpected expenses.
Most health insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like reverse tummy tucks performed abroad. It's important to confirm coverage details with your insurer before scheduling surgery.
Follow-up care includes monitoring incision sites for signs of infection, managing pain with prescribed medications, and attending virtual consultations with your surgeon. Regular check-ups with your local doctor can also help ensure proper healing.
The typical stay in Turkey for a reverse tummy tuck is around 6 days, which includes time for pre-operative consultations, surgery, and initial recovery. Patients usually spend 1-2 nights in the hospital followed by a few days resting at a hotel before traveling home.
Pre-operative instructions typically include avoiding smoking and certain medications that increase bleeding risk. Post-operatively, patients should wear compression garments, avoid strenuous activities for several weeks, and attend follow-up visits to monitor healing.
Many clinics in Turkey have English-speaking staff or offer translation services to assist international patients. Confirm these services are available before your trip to ensure clear communication throughout your treatment.
Ensure the clinic is accredited by international bodies like the Joint Commission International (JCI) and offers comprehensive services including pre-operative tests, anesthesia, and follow-up care. Check for modern facilities and positive patient testimonials to ensure quality care.
Verify that the surgeon is certified by reputable organizations such as the ISAPS. Look for a surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring procedures and read patient reviews to assess their track record.
Potential risks of a reverse tummy tuck include infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia complications. Choosing a board-certified surgeon and following post-operative care instructions can help minimize these risks. It's crucial to discuss all possible complications with your surgeon before the procedure.
Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.
As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.
In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
