Post-Bariatric Surgery in
Turkey
After experiencing significant weight loss through bariatric surgery, if you still feel “incomplete” when you look in the mirror, post-bariatric surgery comes into play at this point. Even if you have lost excess weight, sagging skin, loose tissue, and distorted body contours can affect both your appearance and your freedom of movement. Post-bariatric surgery aims to complete the final stage of this journey by giving your body a firmer, more proportionate shape that is in line with your new weight. The BNO team approaches this process not just as an aesthetic operation, but as a logical and planned continuation of your post-bariatric life.

Post-Bariatric Journey in Turkey
Turkey is a leading destination for bariatric surgery and subsequent body contouring procedures, distinguished by its highly experienced surgeons and modern hospital infrastructure. This makes the post-bariatric surgery process highly attractive for international patients in terms of health, safety, and cost.
When you embark on this journey with BNO, every step is planned from start to finish, not just the day of surgery. After your weight loss is assessed, your progress toward reaching a stable weight, the structure of your skin, and your overall health are reviewed. All details, such as which areas are a priority, whether a single or multiple sessions are required, how long you need to stay in Turkey, and your hospital and hotel arrangements, are structured with a clear schedule.
We Briefly Explain Post-Bariatric Surgery
Post-bariatric surgery is the general term for body contouring procedures performed to correct excess skin, sagging, asymmetry, and tissue laxity that occur after obesity surgery (gastric reduction, bypass, etc.). After rapid and significant weight loss, the skin cannot adapt to the body tissues that have lost their former volume, leading to noticeable deformities, particularly in the abdomen, chest, back, arms, legs, buttocks, and neck areas.
These deformities are not only a source of aesthetic concern; they can also lead to problems that directly affect daily life, such as rashes, fungal infections, irritation, odor, hygiene difficulties, and limited mobility in the affected areas. Post-bariatric surgery aims to correct body contours and reduce these functional problems by removing excess skin and tissue.
Generally, these operations are performed by planning different procedures individually or in combination, such as abdominoplasty, 360° body lift (belt lipectomy), breast lift or reduction, arm and thigh lift, buttock and back lift, liposuction, and fat injection when necessary. Which areas are addressed, when, and in what order is determined entirely based on the individual’s needs and health status.

Post-Bariatric Surgery Process – Step by Step
Post-bariatric surgery is a process that must be carried out as seriously and meticulously as bariatric surgery itself. You can think of the typical journey in simplified terms as follows:
- Pre-Assessment and Planning
Your weight loss after bariatric surgery, your current weight, BMI, blood values, blood pressure, sugar, cardiovascular status, skin elasticity, and expectations are assessed in detail. Your body is analyzed region by region; the areas where sagging and deformation are most pronounced are identified, and a surgical map is drawn accordingly. - Pre-Surgery Preparation
Blood tests, imaging tests, anesthesia evaluation, and, if necessary, nutrition and vitamin-mineral support are planned.
Smoking, adjustment of certain medications, and short-term lifestyle changes before surgery are clarified at this stage. - Surgery (Body Contouring)
Depending on the planned session, tummy tuck, 360° body lift, arm/leg lift, breast lift, or combined body contouring surgeries are performed. While removing excess skin and tissue, the surgeon aims to reshape your body contours in a balanced way that suits your new weight. - Hospital Process and First Days
You may need to stay in the hospital for a few days after the operation.
During this time, you will be closely monitored for drain follow-up, pain control, dressings, mobilization (starting to walk), and early detection of possible risks. You will receive detailed information about your body position, sleep schedule, and first movements. - Discharge, Dressings, and Long-Term Follow-Up
After discharge, you are expected to come in for regular dressing changes and check-ups, protect the wound sites, use the corset and bandages provided for the recommended period, and adhere to your nutrition and movement plan. It takes several months for the final contour to settle and the scars to mature; during this period, your recovery process is monitored through check-ups and online consultations.
Advantages of Post-Bariatric Surgery
Advantages of Post-Bariatric Surgery
Post-bariatric surgery helps you complete your weight loss success story physically. With proper planning, it can provide significant gains not only aesthetically but also functionally:
Recovery Process
The recovery process after bariatric surgery varies depending on which areas were operated on and the extent of the surgery. However, the general framework and points to consider are similar.
Risks and Precautions
Risks and Precautions
- General surgical risks: bleeding, infection, clots, reactions to anesthesia, wound dehiscence, etc.
- Aesthetic risks such as subcutaneous fluid accumulation (seroma), hematoma, asymmetry, skin rippling, or scarring that differs from what was expected.
- During the healing process, smoking, poor nutrition, insufficient protein intake, and incorrect movements can negatively affect wound healing.
- Impatient behaviors such as “early exercise, heavy lifting, sudden movements” can strain the suture lines and impair healing.
- If weight is still fluctuating, i.e., not yet stable: surgery is not recommended; because subsequent weight gain can significantly reduce the effects of body contouring procedures.
