Tummy tuck scarring
After abdominoplasty, it’s normal to have scarring. However, in some cases, patients may develop irregular and excessive scarring, which appears large, reddish, and irregular. There are several reasons why a patient may end up with a bad scar. Extra scarring often occurs due to interference in the healing process, leading to an excess of collagen, proteoglycans, elastin, and extracellular matrix proteins.
Keloid and hypertrophic scars are common types of irregular or excessive scars. So, let’s explore some common types of bad scars that patients undergoing a tummy tuck will likely experience.
Raised Scar
A raised scar protrudes and can be felt above the skin, occurring in various types and degrees. Unlike flat scars, which are typically visible on the skin’s surface, raised scars are noticeable and can cause discomfort. They form when the body produces excess collagen to heal a deeper wound, particularly in the dermis layer
2. Hypertrophic Scar
A hypertrophic scar is an abnormal formation characterized by a thick, raised appearance. It typically occurs in regions of taut skin following a standard tummy tuck incision, burns, or other types of skin trauma.
3. Keloid Scar
Keloids represent an extreme form of hypertrophic scarring, distinguished by their tendency to extend beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Unlike hypertrophic scars, which typically remain confined to the injury site, keloids can spread to surrounding areas. They commonly manifest on areas such as the shoulders, cheeks, middle chest, or earlobes.
4. Widened Scar
Widened scars are characterized by their thin, flat appearance and slightly increased breadth. These scars tend to broaden due to tension on the wound edges during the healing process. They are frequently observed in areas of the body subject to continual motion, such as the shoulder, back, and knee.
5. Hyperpigmented & Hypopigmented scar
Hyperpigmented scars are characterized by their darker appearance compared to the surrounding skin. This heightened pigmentation results from increased melanin production in the scar tissue.
Conversely, hypopigmented scars exhibit a lighter tone than the surrounding skin, appearing pale or whitish. This lightened pigmentation occurs due to reduced melanin production in the scarred area.
Fleur de lis abdominoplasty
What is a FDL tummy tuck? At Klinik Europe, Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck removes excess skin from the abdomen to improve body shape.
This surgery removes extra skin due to weight gain or pregnancy, and also removes fat and tightens the abdominal wall muscles, like a regular tummy tuck.
Compared to traditional abdominoplasty, the key difference lies in the incision. The Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty procedure involves making a vertical incision from one hip bone to the other. Additionally, a horizontal incision is made from the bottom of the ribs to the pubic area.
These two incisions intersect with each other. This longer cut lets us remove loose skin on the sides of the belly, which yields better results with the fleur de lis tummy tuck than the traditional tummy tuck methods.
The amount of extra skin determines the type of tummy tuck required. The more skin there is, the more intense the procedure will be.
During your consultation, one of our patient care representatives will discuss your expectations and desires candidly. Honest communication is crucial for selecting the appropriate surgery tailored to your individual needs. If others have suggested body contouring, surgery may not be suitable for you. We will address all health concerns, as well as questions regarding the procedure and costs, at this time.
Avoiding the square look of a tummy tuck surgery in Turkey
To achieve a nice waistline after the procedure, it’s crucial to include flank liposuction, tight abdominal wall muscle repair, and removal of excess loose skin.
Flank liposuction is at Klinik Europe typically considered routine, as it helps prevent a thickened waistline. Similarly, utilizing long enough incisions to remove excess skin is vital.
However, some surgeons may opt for smaller incisions, which can pull flank skin towards the mid-abdomen and thicken the waist.
For optimal results, Klinik Europe considers a standard or extended tummy tuck procedure, which includes long incisions, thorough muscle tightening, and liposuction of the flanks and epigastrium. This approach should provide a lovely result for your waistline.
Tummy Tuck Before and After
Our Client Reviews
Lesley Jackman29 May 2024After doing an indepth research, researching for a clinic abroad for my cosmetic surgery, I settled on Klinik Europe. My experience was excellent from beginning to end. When I appled for information, of my surgery I had to send photos of what I wanted and I was given a thorough description of what they could realistically do for me. It was transparent and clear throughout. They also have a WhatsApp group for clients, previous and new to discuss various current topics which arise. Mel and Clara (admin) were very helpful and honest during the weeks leading up to my surgery. You can take a companion with you for free within the guidelines and framework of the package, which I did. We were met at the Airport and taken to the lovely Falcon Hotel which is all inclusive. Staff were lovely and very helpful. The next morning we were taken to the Hospital. Everything was done very professionally. I met my surgeon Dr Celik and went through everything with him. The Nurses were excellent. The operation, Tummy tuck and Liposuction went really well and I was delighted with the results. After two days in hospital, I was transferred back to the Hotel. For the 1st few days, if you don't feel up to going to the Dining room, you can have your meals in your room. The food is delicious. My operation was also very affordable compared to the UK. The nurse, Ozgun, who was excellent, accompanied you to and from the Hospital and came to the Hotel daily to renew your dressings. I can't fault them in any way. I wish I'd done this a few years before.kath dray24 May 2024Absolutely cannot fault this company, right from initial contact....to booking...to getting the surgery. I felt in good hands. Everyone goes above and beyond. I'm currently 11 days post op....and already planning phase 2Banny10 May 2024I had a thigh lift, mons lift and FDL tummy tuck with Klinik last year in July. I can’t fault them at all, the care from the very start with my initial contact with my co ordinator Mel, to the collection at the airport to the aftercare was all spot on. I spent 2 days in hospital and on the 1st day Klinik paid for a night nurse to stay in the room with me to help with anything I needed. Once back at the hotel I had the most beautiful nurse Özgün come and visit me everyday for dressing changes. I had a coordinator over there that was at both the hospital and the hotel checking in all day every day and is there to assist with anything you need. For example a trip to the pharmacy, some food ordering, reading and translating paper work etc. The pre op tests before surgery were very thorough, I had blood tests, ECG and met the anaesthetist face to face, had a consultation with my surgeon to make sure we were both on the same page and what my expectations were and discussed if they were realistic. I was made to feel very comfortable, welcome and reassured throughout. After surgery before I flew home I went back to the hospital to see my surgeon for a last check up and to make sure it was safe for me to fly home. The hotel which was The falcon Hotel was beautiful, it was all inclusive and had everything you’d expect from a normal hotel you’d book for a holiday! My companion (that came free of charge) made good use of the pool and all inclusive cocktails. The food was also delicious, there were bbqs in the evening cooking fresh meat and fish as well as the normal buffet inside. There was plenty of choice for everyone throughout the day and it was different every night. I will be nearly a year post op this summer and I’m already planning my return for the next part of my plastic surgery, breast lift, implants and an arm lift. Would highly recommend Klinik.Hannah Silvester30 April 2024I have just returned from my 2nd operation with Klinik! The 1st was 1 year ago for a RNY bypass - Performed by Dr Ertugrul Gönül. I lost in excess of 100% of my excess body weight within 10.5 months of my operation (over 10 stone lost) it has been nothing but a complete success. I then booked for my 1st round of skin removal - a FDL 360 TT, Mons Lift and Breast lift which I had 11 days ago. To say that I am over the moon with my results is a massive understatement. My first operation gave me the tool I needed to finally lose the excess weight that I had been carrying around for the last 20+ years, allowing me to look forward to a much healthier and longer life. My most recent operation - performed by Dr Bahadīr Çelik - has removed the excess skin from my weight loss and allowed me to finally see that all my hard work has paid off. He is an artist at what he does - considering what was presented to him - he has worked miracles and I am over the moon! When it comes to the Klinik - it is a well oiled machine. From the beginning communications with Mel for quotes, discussions, bookings, tweaking our stay, dates we were travelling etc to Ece answering questions we've had along the way everyone has been wonderful. My additional needs - which add an additional dimension to my travels and ability to cope - have been taken into account too and I was reassured every step of the way. Every one is a star, but one that shines the brightest and had the biggest impact on my experience has to be Nurse Özgün who looked after me at the recovery hotel after both of my operations - but also as host on my most recent visit ❤️ she is an absolute angel, always greeting me with a smile on her face, she is the gentlest person! I had some stomach issues (common side affects related to my bypass) and she went over and above - messaging me, checking on me, getting me additional medication and making me feel so supported and safe. She really is an absolute asset to Klinik! The recovery hotel is exemplary, spotlessly clean, food wonderful, staff can not do enough to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Even the gentleman who was our driver for all transfers was kind, helpful and a lovely person to be around. It has been a 2nd wonderful experience - so much so I have just booked my 3rd and final skin removal operation for next year. Thank you Klinik - keep doing what you are doing and you can not go wrong. Love to you all xJack Tuckey9 April 2024had surgery in 2022 my surgeon dr bahadir celik was so lovely had a mommy makeover the whole experience was brilliant well looked after .. I'm now here again to see him again i trust him completely the staff are lovely my whole experience is 10 out of 10 even down to mel who talks and sorts everything out for u on whatapp lovely people..Jeni Mizzdep16 January 2024Absolutely wonderful experience with Klinik. I suffer from depression and anxiety and was really scared as I’d seen horror stories but I was put at ease from first contact. All questions where answered quickly with lots of additional information, there is even a WhatsApp group so you can ask past and present patients questions and nothing is deleted and they give honest answers. I love that group for it’s honesty. I had a FLD tummy tuck and breast reduction and uplift, the hospital was amazing, the staff was amazing the surgeon explained everything that was going to happen. The hotel and its location was the best I’ve been to. The daily nurse and the hostess are some of the nicest and knowledgeable people I’ve ever met and answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I’m hoping to go back to get more work done and can’t wait. Thank you Klinik Europe.Sam Everitt16 January 2024I can’t recommend Klinik Europe highly enough, I’ve had a breast uplift and 360 TummyTuck with no problems and fantastic results. Everything from my first initial enquiry to my recovery at the hotel was smooth and efficient. The hotel used for post surgery recovery is beautiful and the staff are so helpful, the food is very good and situated perfectly for good views and sunsets. The aftercare element was very important to me and I love that any questions I have are answered in a timely manner even when I’m back in the UK. The host Hazel is just lovely and will sort out anything you need and Özgün the nurse will take care of all your medical needs at the hotel and is so caring and friendly, you almost don’t want to go home they look after you so well. I loved my results so much with Dr Celik that I’m going back for more surgery later in the year.Lisa Berghammer16 December 2023Very friendly staff and a great clinic. I have never felt so comfortable in a clinic.Abigail Davies12 December 2023I have had a brilliant experience with Klinik Europe. If I could give 10 out of 5 then I would! I had a 360 FDL Tummy tuck and breast uplift with implants. My initial contact was April 2023. I’d already lost a significant amount of weight and the loose skin was starting. Mel (the booking person) was so informative and did everything she could to help me. I booked a month later and put my deposit down. On December 4th I flew out to Antalya. I’d had contact with the host (Hazel) to know what to expect when I landed. I was very nervous because of the language barrier but I needed have been. We went straight to the hospital and had lots of tests done and then I was transferred to the hotel for my first night. Picked up the following morning and admitted into hospital to have my surgery. I had 360 FDL tummy tuck with breast uplift and implant. The surgeon was amazing, his team were fantastic and the nurses on the ward so accommodating, even with the language barrier. I never felt like a problem, in fact, I’d never felt so well looked after in my entire life! Two nights stay in hospital was followed by 4 more nights at the hotel where a nurse (Ozgun) came and changed my dressings daily and checked in with me. The hotel was great and the room service a godsend at times! This company has been nothing but brilliant from start to finish. In fact, while I was waiting for my flight home, I got a quote to come back next year to finish off my excess skin removal! After all, 12 stone loss does leave lots behind. I honestly cannot thank Klinik and all of the staff (within the company and hospital) enough. Best medical experience of my life. Thank you so much, and can’t wait to come back next year!Rebecca Vere29 November 2023I've been investigating having a couple of procedures. I must stress, I haven't booked anything, and so this review covers initial contact I've had with Klinik Europe. Well, I can't rate my contact here - Mel - highly enough. Mel requested photos of my areas of concern, and consulted the surgeons, despite knowing that I was not a definite customer. She then came back to me and confirmed which procedures would be suitable, and discussed them, explaining the process and recovery times in detail. Because I haven't the money now, Mel very kindly looked into how much it might cost in one year's time, and how much a flight/hotel/surgery package would cost then, which covers a week in Turkey. This price was clearly broken down into all its many components parts, and although currently unaffordable to me, it contained so much for that price that I thought it was extremely good value - what you might pay for 2 people staying in a good quality resort for two weeks. By the way, this price included the hotel costs for a companion staying with me too, so they could actually have a week's holiday! Mel was not heavily pushing a sale, and understood I was making an enquiry and would likely have to save for a very long time. But because of her very helpful, kind, understanding and informative approach - and the excellent reviews of Klinik Europe on YouTube- I would definitely use Klinik Europe, should I be able to book. I hope this review encourages people to make contact with this safe, highly rated Turkish clinic, if they are considering cosmetic surgery.
