About the Procedure
Marie-Michel is a patient who came from Ireland for a 360° liposuction and a tummy tuck. She had previously undergone bariatric surgery and lost almost 45 kg, so she decided to come to Best Clinic Istanbul to complete her transformation with a body contouring procedure focused on removing excess skin and improving abdominal definition after major weight loss.
The surgical plan was carefully prepared after a detailed consultation and physical assessment. The main goal was to restore a tighter abdominal profile, improve waist contour, and enhance overall body proportion following massive weight reduction. The combination of 360° liposuction and tummy tuck allowed comprehensive reshaping of the midsection for a smoother and more balanced silhouette.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Abdullah Surucu under general anesthesia and lasted approximately 4.5 hours. Advanced body contouring techniques were used to ensure precise fat removal and effective skin tightening while maintaining a natural-looking result.
The procedure was successfully completed, and Marie-Michel stayed in Istanbul for close post-operative monitoring and recovery support throughout her medical stay.

Medical Journey
After the operation, Marie-Michel remained under close observation for the first 4 hours while her vital signs were monitored by the medical team. Once stabilized, the nursing staff assisted her with early mobility, including walking, eating, and basic movement to ensure a safe and comfortable recovery process.
She spent two nights at the clinic with surgical drains in place and a compression corset, which she was instructed to wear continuously for 4 to 6 weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. A full medical kit, along with prescribed medications, was provided to ensure proper post-operative care and recovery support.
From the second post-operative day, Marie-Michel was cleared for discharge and continued her recovery at the hotel under medical supervision. A specialized nurse visited her daily to perform lymphatic drainage massage sessions, monitor healing progress, and assist with drain removal at the appropriate time.
The nursing team also supported her with showering, scar cleaning, and detailed aftercare instructions, including the correct use of silicone scar creams provided in her medical kit. The total cost of the procedure was €5,200, and her recovery process progressed smoothly under the care of Dr. Abdullah Surucu.

The surgery went smoothly, and the care I received afterward was exceptional. The team checked on me daily, answered all my
questions, and made sure I felt safe and comfortable. I noticed improvements in my breathing almost immediately, and as the
swelling went down, I could gradually see the beautiful transformation taking shape. What I appreciate most is how natural the
result looks. It still feels like me, just a more balanced and confident version. My friends and family keep telling me how
refreshed and harmonious my face looks — without realizing exactly what changed. Thank you to everyone at Best Clinic
Istanbul for giving me both functional and aesthetic results beyond my expectations. I finally feel confident in photos and
comfortable in my own skin.
