What is a tummy tuck?

Excess skin on your tummy can have a huge effect on your self-esteem. Whether it appeared after losing weight or having a new baby, excess skin can really damage your body confidence.

For people who have experienced excess skin on their tummy, a tummy tuck is a solution to help bring back your self-confidence and accentuate your true body shape.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure to change the look and shape of your abdomen area.

A surgeon will recommend the type of tummy tuck you will need depending on the amount of excess skin you have. Your options are a mini tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck. 

In the UK, on average, a tummy tuck procedure can cost anything between £4,500 to £7,000. This a considerable amount of money, and may not always be a realistic option for someone struggling with excess skin. In this case, many people look for cheaper alternatives to help bring back their self-confidence.

How much does it cost to have a Tummy Tuck in Turkey?

It is much more cost-effective for people who are considering a tummy tuck to look elsewhere for their surgery. This because prices are much lower than those offered in the UK.

Turkey is a key location for patients looking to undergo this type of treatment, as they are leaders in the cosmetic industry.

Here at MedicoTrips, we decided to offer tummy tuck surgery in Turkey for this reason. With accommodation and transfers included, a tummy tuck procedure in Turkey can cost as little as £3,300.
