What a tummy tuck and rhinoplasty package is

This stay combines abdominoplasty with a primary rhinoplasty in one anaesthetic. The abdomen is loose skin taken away and, when the midline muscles have parted, stitched back — not a diet and not liposuction on its own. The nose is a primary shape change as planned after assessment; closed work sits here when the paper still fits, open if the tip needs that view. It is still two operations, not filler in either site, and not a millimetre-perfect profile plus a flat-stomach promise.

The written plan should identify the abdominoplasty and nasal procedure after assessment, and confirm whether the combined or a staged approach is suitable.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adults near a stable weight whose abdominal skin hangs after pregnancy or a large weight change, who also want a change to a primary nose, whose facial growth has finished, and who will accept a long low abdominal scar. A mini tuck treats laxity below the navel; a full tuck takes skin from above the navel, resets the navel and usually repairs the muscle. If the excess runs into the flanks, the line is lengthened. A previous nose job, rib grafts, or a very weak tip often needs a revision rhinoplasty quote, not this primary pair.

The date is often postponed if another pregnancy is planned soon, if you still mean to lose a large amount of weight, if the team has asked you to stop smoking, or if a long-term condition makes a long combined general anaesthetic less safe. A mommy-makeover breast plan in the same sitting is a different quote unless it is named. Send daylight photographs — abdomen front and both sides standing without sucking in, and nose front, both profiles and from below — without a filter. Suitability is confirmed in Istanbul before anyone operates.

What sits outside the quote

Liposuction of other zones, BBL, breast surgery, belt lift, revision rhinoplasty, grafts or chin surgery are separate unless named. Fleur-de-lis surgery or later contour revision is not included unless written. The planned wound closure and combined approach require clinical assessment. Tightening the abdomen so far that the lower wound cannot close, or chasing a social-media nose in millimetres, is refused; that is a clinical limit, not an upsell.

Theatre, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan seven to ten days in the city. That window covers the in-person assessment, the combined sitting, hospital nights, drain removal when drains are used, the first garment check, the nasal splint coming off around day seven, and clearance to fly. A four-night advert rarely leaves the same medical margin for both sites. The hospital nights sit inside those days; they do not replace them. Leave room for an extra night if the team asks.

Theatre is under general anaesthetic. Two primary operations in one sitting last several hours; a full tuck with muscle repair plus an open rhinoplasty is longer than a mini tuck with a limited closed plan. The expected time sits on the written plan. In week one you walk slightly flexed so the lower wound is not pulled, and you do not rest glasses on the bridge while the splint is on. Discharge is signed by the surgeon — it is not an advertising date.

Recovery after you fly home

The first weeks are abdominal care and a blocked-nose feeling at once: the garment as shown, the splint until it comes off, no gym, no lifting children or heavy bags, no sit-ups, no sleeping on your front, no glasses that press on the bridge. You walk slightly flexed at first; the nose you see when the splint comes off is not the final one. Desk work is often two to three weeks if the surgeon agrees. Core work and underwire wait for the timetable on your discharge note. The abdominal scar matures over twelve to eighteen months; nasal shape settles over three to twelve months. None of that is a flat-stomach or millimetre guarantee.

Red flags after you return — spreading redness, pus, a temperature that persists, a collection that is getting larger, a sudden heavy nose bleed, pain that is getting worse, or breathlessness — mean a local clinician or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the discharge note with you.

Questions from you

These notes answer questions people raise before they accept a written treatment plan. They describe what that plan should make clear. They are not a promise that any partner hospital uses a particular technique, device or payment arrangement. With your consent, an enquiry may be shared with an authorised healthcare partner.

Can a tummy tuck and rhinoplasty be performed during the same operation?

They can sometimes be performed during the same operation when the patient is healthy enough and both procedures are of a suitable scope. Because the abdomen and nose are separate surgical areas, one operation can address both concerns, but the combined procedure is longer and the recovery requirements of both operations must be considered together. A tummy tuck can affect mobility and carries blood-clot and wound-healing considerations, while rhinoplasty adds nasal swelling, bleeding and airway considerations. The surgeon should assess the extent of abdominal skin and muscle work, the complexity of the nose surgery, previous operations, general health and total operating time. An extended tummy tuck or complex revision rhinoplasty may be better staged.

Is the main problem extra fat, extra skin or separated abdominal muscles, and which of those will this operation treat?

ASPS notes that when a large amount of fat is removed, extra skin can need a second operation. J-Plasma, also called Renuvion, aims to tighten skin with heat. It should not be written as a replacement for a tummy tuck or an arm or thigh lift when there is a hanging skin apron or a clear separation of the abdominal muscles. Source: ASPS liposuction safety.

Which areas will liposuction include, and what personal limits will stop or stage it?

ASPS says special planning is needed when more than five litres are usually suctioned. That figure is not a safe ceiling for every person. Blood in the aspirate, the fluid given, the lidocaine dose and the length of the anaesthetic can reduce the scope or split the session. The written plan should name the areas included and the finding that would stop the operation. Source: ASPS liposuction safety.

Why combine procedures in one operation, and when should they be staged?

Several operations in one sitting should not become a package name until the time and the clot risk have been written for that person. The blood supply of an abdominal flap can be injured by aggressive waist liposuction at the same time. Walking early is part of clot prevention. A combination that stops that walking should be staged. Source: ASPS liposuction safety.

How are a seroma, a wound opening or skin loss recognised and treated?

ASPS lists fluid collection, poor wound healing and heat injury among liposuction risks. A seroma is a wavy swelling under the incision. A small one may be absorbed. A collection that persists can be aspirated. One that is infected or threatening the skin is drained. A wound that opens, or skin that turns black, is a sign of tension, smoking, infection or a circulation problem. It is not a mark to close at home with a dressing. Drains, compression and the review date should be written down. Fever, a bad smell, an open wound and rapidly growing swelling should be reported without delay. Source: ASPS liposuction safety.

After I go home, who follows a wound problem or a suspected clot, and who pays for extra treatment?

The NHS asks people having cosmetic surgery abroad to settle in advance where reviews happen and what further surgery and a return journey cost. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications. The NHS uses 5–7 days after liposuction or breast surgery, and 7–10 days after a tummy tuck, as planning windows before flying. A painful swollen calf with breathlessness or chest pain is an emergency-department symptom. This page does not say that any partner pays those items. Source: NHS advice on cosmetic surgery abroad.

How will my nasal breathing be examined before surgery?

AAO-HNS guidance asks that nasal blockage be assessed on its own when a change in shape is being discussed. A written examination should separate the contribution of the septum, the inferior turbinates, the internal nasal valve and the external nasal valve. “The septum is bent” does not cover those four. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

How will the airway be protected or corrected while the shape changes?

Taking the bridge down too far can narrow the internal valve. Weakening the tip cartilages can spoil both the shape and the breathing. A cosmetic reduction and any valve or septal repair belong in the same written plan, so one is not discovered later as a side effect of the other. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

If this is a revision, will earlier records be reviewed, and where would a graft come from?

If septal cartilage has not already been used, it is the first source to look at. When the septum is not enough, ear cartilage is used for the tip and rib cartilage for larger structural support. A rib graft leaves an extra wound and pain. Ear cartilage can change the contour of the ear. A second source should not be chosen until the old note, and where any previous graft was placed, is known. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

If I bleed, develop an infection or cannot breathe properly after I fly home, who follows that up and who pays?

The NHS asks people having cosmetic surgery abroad to get in writing where a complication would be reviewed, what further surgery and a return journey would cost, and whether the clinic’s insurance covers the patient. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications. Follow-up after surgery in the UK is the surgeon’s responsibility. A clinic abroad may not offer the same follow-up or a doctor in your own country. The NHS uses 7–10 days after facial surgery as a planning window before flying, because of clot risk. Your own surgeon gives the personal clearance. Bleeding that will not stop, sudden narrowing of the airway, fever and a wound that opens need prompt review. A photograph is not a substitute for examination and endoscopy. This page does not say that any partner pays for revision surgery or the flight. Source: NHS advice on cosmetic surgery abroad.

What happens to my existing C-section scar during a tummy tuck?

An existing caesarean scar may be included in the lower tummy-tuck incision and removed with the skin beneath it, but this cannot be promised before the surgeon examines the scar and plans the operation. The new scar is usually longer, and a full tummy tuck may also leave a scar around the navel. Previous abdominal surgery can affect the plan and result. Ask the operating surgeon to mark the proposed incision and explain in writing whether the old scar is expected to be removed, incorporated or left partly visible. ASPS explains how an existing caesarean scar may be incorporated.

Is diastasis recti always repaired during a tummy tuck?

No. A tummy tuck may include tightening or repair of separated abdominal muscles when examination shows it is part of the agreed plan, but the operation is not automatically a muscle repair for everyone. The surgeon considers the location and degree of separation, skin excess, symptoms, previous surgery and overall health. A mini procedure may address a more limited lower-abdominal area, while a full operation can address a broader area; the name of a package alone does not establish what will be done. Ask whether muscle repair is planned, which area it covers and how it changes recovery. ASPS describes abdominoplasty as potentially restoring weakened muscles.

Can muscle separation come back after a tummy tuck?

Muscle separation or abdominal-wall laxity may remain or become more noticeable after repair; repair cannot guarantee a permanently flat or fully tightened abdomen. ASPS discusses pregnancy-related muscle changes and notes that laxity may persist despite abdominoplasty with muscle repair. If you may want another pregnancy, ask the surgeon how this could affect your result and the timing of surgery. ASPS reviews abdominal muscle changes relevant to tummy-tuck results.

When can I lift my child after a tummy tuck?

Plan to arrange help with childcare because lifting is usually restricted during early healing. One NHS plastic-surgery discharge leaflet advises avoiding heavy lifting, including children, for at least six weeks after abdominoplasty, but your own surgeon may set a different restriction based on the operation and your recovery. Do not use a general timetable as personal clearance. Before surgery, ask when you may lift your child, whether the limit differs for a baby versus an older child, and who can help at home until you are cleared. Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS guidance includes children in its lifting restriction.

Mini tummy tuck or full tummy tuck — how is that actually decided?

The choice depends mainly on where the loose skin and muscle separation are, rather than on the procedure label. A mini tummy tuck treats a more limited area below the navel; a full tummy tuck can address excess skin above and below it and may reposition the navel. The amount of liposuction, scar pattern, medical history and your goals also matter. The surgeon should explain what each option can treat in your case and what it leaves unchanged. ASPS outlines how mini and standard tummy-tuck scopes differ.

Can rhinoplasty temporarily affect my sense of smell or taste?

Yes. Nasal swelling and crusting can temporarily reduce smell and taste while the inside of the nose heals; NHS hospital aftercare guidance says this often improves over the following weeks. An altered sense of smell is also listed among possible complications, so persistent, worsening or otherwise concerning changes should be discussed with the surgical team rather than assumed to be routine. Follow the nose-care instructions you were given and do not put anything inside the nose unless advised. NHS nasal surgery aftercare and NHS rhinoplasty guidance.

Why can my nose look uneven while swelling is going down?

Swelling does not always settle evenly, so the nose can look temporarily uneven as healing progresses. The shape seen when the splint comes off is not the final contour; refinement takes months and can continue for up to a year. That does not prove that an irregularity is only swelling, so raise a new or persistent concern at follow-up, and contact the surgeon sooner if you have worsening pain, bleeding, fever or breathing difficulty. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery overview.

How long does tip swelling last after rhinoplasty?

There is no single date when tip swelling disappears. Initial swelling often improves over the first weeks, while the finer nasal contour can take many months to emerge and may continue refining for up to a year. Skin thickness and the operation performed can affect the pace, so the early shape should not be treated as the final result. Keep scheduled reviews and ask the surgeon to assess swelling that is worsening, one-sided with increasing pain, or accompanied by fever or breathing problems. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery guidance.

When can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?

Wait until your surgical team says glasses can rest on the bridge; there is no safe universal date for every operation. Pressure on the nose can matter while the bones and tissues are healing, and the plan may differ depending on what was done. Ask whether you should use cheek or forehead support and for how long. If you have already worn glasses and notice new pain, a change in shape or breathing, contact the team for advice. UC Davis rhinoplasty aftercare.

When is it too early to judge whether I need revision rhinoplasty?

It is often too early to judge the final shape in the first weeks or months because swelling can hide the result and nasal contour may continue to refine for up to a year. A concern about breathing, healing or a sudden change should still be raised promptly; waiting for swelling to settle is not a reason to ignore symptoms. The surgeon who knows what was changed can review the operation and healing before discussing whether revision is appropriate. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery guidance.

How accurate is a 3D rhinoplasty simulation?

A 3D simulation can help you and the surgeon discuss a goal, but it cannot guarantee the nose you will have after surgery. In one small study of 40 patients, reviewers preferred the actual postoperative result to the simulation in most cases, even though the authors considered simulation useful for communication and planning. Real healing, anatomy and surgical judgement affect the result, and a simulation does not show every functional or recovery issue. Ask the surgeon which parts of the image are achievable aims, what may differ, and how breathing will be assessed separately. Three-dimensional imaging study in rhinoplasty.
