360 Body Lift in Turkey
The most comprehensive body contouring procedure, address excess skin all the way around your torso. from £4,905.
A 360 body lift (circumferential body lift) is the most comprehensive body contouring procedure available. It addresses excess skin and tissue all the way around your torso, front, sides, and back, in a single operation.
This procedure is primarily designed for patients who have achieved significant weight loss and are left with circumferential excess skin that affects their comfort, hygiene, mobility, and confidence. If you have worked hard to lose weight through bariatric surgery, diet, or lifestyle changes, a 360 body lift can be the final step in your transformation.
Your all-inclusive package from £4,905 covers this extensive procedure at a government-licensed hospital, 2 nights in hospital, 5 nights in a 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, a personal translator, and 12 months of aftercare. The same procedure in the UK typically costs £12,000-£18,000.
What Is 360 Body Lift?
A 360 body lift combines a full tummy tuck with a back lift and flank contouring in a single circumferential procedure. The incision runs all the way around your body at approximately waist level.
What it includes:
- Anterior (front): Full abdominoplasty, removal of excess abdominal skin, muscle tightening, and belly button repositioning
- Lateral (sides): Flank contouring, removal of excess skin and fat from the sides
- Posterior (back): Back lift, removal of excess skin rolls and tissue from the back
- Optional buttock lift: The back portion of the procedure naturally lifts the buttocks as the excess skin is removed and the tissue is pulled upward
The result is a dramatically reshaped torso with a defined waist, flat abdomen, smooth back, and lifted buttocks. The circumferential scar sits at waist level and is designed to be hidden by underwear or clothing.
This is a major procedure with a significant recovery, but for patients with circumferential excess skin, it produces the most dramatic and satisfying results of any body contouring operation.
Am I Suitable?
You may be a good candidate for a 360 body lift if you:
- Have excess skin encircling your torso (front, sides, and back)
- Have lost a significant amount of weight (typically 40kg or more)
- Are at a stable weight for at least 12 months
- Are in good general health with well-managed nutrition
- Do not smoke (or can stop at least 6 weeks before and after)
- Understand this is a major procedure requiring a substantial recovery
Your surgeon and patient coordinator will thoroughly assess your suitability, including blood tests to check your nutritional status, particularly if you have had bariatric surgery.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Before your trip: Comprehensive video consultation to assess the extent of your excess skin, discuss your goals, and plan the procedure. Blood work to check nutritional markers and overall health.
Day 1, Arrival: VIP airport transfer to your 5-star hotel.
Day 2, Procedure day: Extensive markings while standing. The 360 body lift takes approximately 4-6 hours under general anaesthesia. You are repositioned during the procedure to access all areas.
Days 3-4, Hospital stay: Private room with round-the-clock nursing care. Multiple drains placed. Compression garment fitted. Early mobilisation is crucial.
Days 5-7, Hotel recovery: Daily patient coordinator visits. Gentle walking several times daily. Compression garment worn at all times.
Day 8, Departure: Final check-up. Some drains may remain (you will be taught how to manage them). VIP airport transfer.
Months 1-12: Close aftercare monitoring with regular scheduled check-ins.
Recovery & Aftercare
A 360 body lift is a major procedure, and recovery requires commitment and patience. However, patients consistently describe the results as transformative.
Week 1: Significant discomfort managed with prescribed medication. Multiple drains in place. Walk gently several times daily (essential for circulation). Compression garment 24/7. You will need assistance with daily tasks.
Weeks 2-3: Swelling begins to reduce. Drains are removed as output decreases. Light activities at home possible. The transformation is already visible, even through the swelling.
Weeks 4-6: Most patients can return to desk work. Swelling continues to decrease. Walking longer distances. No heavy lifting or strenuous activity.
Weeks 6-8: Gradual return to normal activities. Gentle exercise can resume. Compression garment phased out.
Months 3-6: Your new shape becomes increasingly defined. Scars mature and begin to lighten.
Months 6-12: Final results are established. The circumferential scar continues to fade. Most patients say this procedure completed their weight-loss journey and gave them the body they worked so hard for.
Risks & Considerations
As a major, extensive procedure, the 360 body lift carries a higher risk profile than less extensive body contouring. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, seroma, wound healing complications (particularly at the back where incisions bear more tension), blood clots (DVT/PE), scarring, numbness, and the need for blood transfusion in rare cases.
Your surgical team is experienced in extended body contouring procedures and takes comprehensive precautions: prophylactic antibiotics, blood-clot prevention, compression garments, and early mobilisation.
All procedures are performed in government-licensed, JCI-accredited hospitals. The 12-month aftercare programme is particularly important for 360 body lift patients and includes close monitoring during the initial healing phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tummy tuck addresses only the front of the abdomen. A 360 body lift extends the procedure all the way around the body, addressing the flanks and back as well. It is essentially a tummy tuck, flank lift, and back lift combined into one circumferential operation.
Patients typically lose 2-5kg from the removal of excess skin and tissue. However, the most dramatic change is in your shape, measurements, and clothing size rather than the number on the scales.
Yes. The posterior (back) portion of the 360 body lift naturally lifts the buttocks as the excess skin above is removed and the tissue is pulled upward. The degree of lift depends on your anatomy and the amount of excess skin removed.
Most surgeons recommend waiting 12-18 months after your bariatric procedure and achieving a stable weight for at least 6 months before having body contouring. This ensures your weight has stabilised and your nutritional status is adequate for healing.
Due to the extensive nature of a 360 body lift, combining it with additional procedures (such as breast work or arm lifts) increases the total operating time significantly. Your surgeon may recommend staging procedures over two trips for safety. Discuss your full goals with your patient coordinator to create a realistic plan.
