A flat stomach is a dream for many people. But sometimes exercise and healthy eating alone are not enough. Extra skin or sagging abdominal muscles can remain, especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss. In such cases, a tummy tuck can offer a solution.
More and more Dutch people are choosing to have this operation done abroad – especially in Istanbul. Why? Think top-quality care, short waiting times, lower costs, and personal guidance. Istanbul has become a hotspot for plastic surgery, and the combination of medical expertise and luxury facilities makes it extra attractive.
In this article, you will read exactly why Dutch people choose to have a tummy tuck in Istanbul, what you can expect, and how you can arrange it safely and without any worries.
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the abdomen. The abdominal muscles are also often tightened. The goal? A flatter, firmer abdomen that better suits your body shape.
This operation is often chosen by people who have lost a lot of weight, have had a pregnancy, or simply suffer from loose skin that does not go away with exercise or dieting. The result is not only visible, but often also noticeable in your self-confidence.
There are different types of tummy tucks:
The choice between these two depends on your situation and wishes. During an initial consultation, the surgeon will determine what is best for you.
What many people don’t know is that the medical standards in Turkish clinics are very high. The techniques are modern, the doctors are experienced, and the results are impressive. That’s why more and more people are choosing a tummy tuck in Istanbul as a smart combination of quality, safety, and price.
The decision to undergo a tummy tuck is not one to be taken lightly. It concerns your body and your health. Yet, more and more Dutch people are consciously choosing to have a tummy tuck in Istanbul. Why? The reasons are surprisingly logical.
In the Netherlands, the costs can be quite high, especially if the procedure is not covered by insurance. In Istanbul, you often get the same—or even better—quality for a lower price. And we’re not just talking about the surgery, but also the entire experience: accommodation, transfers, guidance, and aftercare.
Turkey has been investing heavily in medical care for years. Clinics in Istanbul are among the most modern in the world. The doctors have years of experience and work according to international standards. Many clinics are also accredited by JCI and ISO.
Through organizations such as Health & Beauty Travel, you will receive guidance in your own language—from the first contact to the aftercare. That gives you peace of mind. Everything is arranged for you, including accommodation, transportation, and possibly a city tour.
Unlike in the Netherlands, you often don’t have to wait months. Once you are ready, you can usually be seen within a few weeks.
This combination of quality, comfort, and cost savings makes Istanbul a logical and popular choice for Dutch people considering a tummy tuck.
A tummy tuck is a serious procedure—and it usually comes with a serious price tag. In the Netherlands, the costs can range from €8,000 to €12,000, depending on the clinic and the complexity of the operation. This amount often excludes aftercare, accommodation, and other additional costs.
Contrary to what many people think, you don’t have to compromise on quality to save money on a tummy tuck in Istanbul. In many cases, the total price is between €5,800 and €6,800 – including:
At Health & Beauty Travel, you know exactly where you stand in advance. No unexpected surcharges or additional costs afterwards. Everything is taken care of, so you can focus fully on your recovery.
And the best part? This total experience – from medical care to luxury accommodation – often still costs less than just the surgery in the Netherlands.
Safety is probably the first thing that comes to mind when considering surgery abroad. That makes sense. Fortunately, a tummy tuck in Istanbul is just as safe—and sometimes even safer—than in the US. How is that possible? Thanks to strict controls, experienced specialists, and international standards.
The top clinics that Health & Beauty Travel works with are accredited by international organizations such as:
These certifications guarantee quality, hygiene, and patient safety in accordance with global standards.
There are many plastic surgeons working in Istanbul who have performed thousands of procedures. They specialize in tummy tucks and undergo continuous training. This means you will be treated by a doctor who knows exactly what they are doing.
You know exactly what to expect in advance. There is a clear treatment plan, you receive personal guidance, and you are never alone. Everything—from intake to aftercare—is arranged down to the last detail.
After your return, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Health & Beauty Travel works together with Health Beauty Aftercare in the Netherlands. You can contact them for check-ups, questions, or support. This makes the entire experience not only safe, but also familiar.
In short: if you choose to have a tummy tuck in Istanbul through a reliable party, you are in good hands – literally and figuratively.
Are you still unsure about a tummy tuck in Istanbul? You are certainly not alone. Many people who went before you had exactly the same questions: Is it safe? Will I feel comfortable? What if something goes wrong?
Fortunately, the experiences of Dutch patients are overwhelmingly positive. Here are a few recognizable stories:
Sandra (42) from Utrecht decided after two pregnancies that it was time for a tummy tuck. “I had been bothered by excess skin for years. In the Netherlands, I found it too expensive, and the waiting time was endless. In Istanbul, I received personal guidance from the very first moment. Everything was arranged—from the reception at the airport to the hotel stay. And the clinic? Super modern.”
Mark (38) combined his tummy tuck with a short city trip. “I thought: if I’m going to do it, I want to experience something nice. It felt like a kind of medical vacation package. The doctors were great, and the recovery was faster than I expected.”
For Fatima (50), the aftercare was particularly important. “I found it nerve-wracking to go abroad for an operation. But knowing that I could go to Health Beauty Aftercare when I got back to the Netherlands gave me peace of mind. Everything went as planned.”
You don’t just decide to have a tummy tuck abroad. You want certainty, comfort, and above all, a reliable organization that takes care of everything for you. And that is exactly what sets Health & Beauty Travel apart.

A tummy tuck in Istanbul may sound like a big step, but with proper preparation, it becomes much easier—and more relaxing. Here are a few practical tips to make your trip go smoothly.
Once you decide to go ahead with the procedure, you can usually get an appointment within a few weeks. Keep your schedule in mind: it’s best to schedule your surgery during a quiet period so you have plenty of time to recover. Tip: avoid busy holidays or periods of high stress at work.
Health & Beauty Travel takes care of everything: from luxury hotels to transfers to and from the clinic. You will be welcomed upon arrival and will not have to worry about a thing.
You will rest in your hotel room for the first few days after the operation. You will receive clear instructions from the surgeon. You can often fly back home within 7 to 10 days. Make sure you have enough space in the US to continue your recovery—without any obligations.
Many patients choose to stay an extra day and enjoy Istanbul a little once they are allowed to. A relaxing walk or a beautiful view can do wonders for your state of mind.
A tummy tuck is not a decision to be taken lightly. You want the right care, good guidance, and a result that makes you truly happy. For more and more Dutch people, the choice is clear: a tummy tuck in Istanbul combines top quality with competitive prices, personal service, and a comfortable travel experience.
