The Ultimate Guide to Tummy Tuck in Bali






Tummy Tucks in Bali - Medical Departures


Last fact-checked: 12 November 2020

Sagging skin across your midriff? Looking to have it removed? Why not consider a tummy tuck in Bali; as well as the obvious savings you’ll make, you can look forward to getting pre-pregnancy figure back while enjoying a fabulous holiday to gorgeous Indonesia island.

Sometimes, diet and exercise alone are not enough to get rid of the loose skin around your middle, particularly if you have already lost weight or had children. The good news is that there is a straightforward, effective surgical solution that costs thousands less in Bali.  

Why Should I Have a Tummy Tuck in Bali?


Bali is a newcomer to the world of medical tourism, but that doesn’t mean the quality isn’t world-class in Bali's best clinics. Bali's hospitals and clinics are exceptionally kitted with the highest-quality diagnostic and therapeutic technology. Taking quality seriously, the Indonesian government is making sure its services compare favorably with other medical destinations in Asia and are ensuring hospitals are accredited with internationally-recognized organizations, such as the Joint Commission International.

Obviously, most people come to Bali with rest, relaxation and recuperation in mind; whether you want to vacation before your procedure or chill while recovering, the island offers a host of activities to suit all.

Wonderful beaches, the rugged mountains, verdant rice terraces and friendly natives make this an unforgettable destination. Before treatment, you can sample activities like white-water rafting and surfing, experience some Bali traditions like fire dancing, explore unique temples or just gorge on the array of delicious cuisines here.

One of the other reasons you may want to consider Bali for your tummy tuck is the price; as you’ll see further down, it’s possible to save thousands.

What’s Involved in a Tummy Tuck Procedure and How Long Does it Take?


Procedure times vary on the amount of excess skin that needs to be removed and whether you have a full or partial tummy tuck:

  • In a full tummy tuck, a long incision is made about the pubic area, and a shorter one near the belly button, so this can be moved. 

  • In a partial tummy tuck, the incision above the pubic area is much shorter, and there isn’t one made by the naval as the belly button need not be moved.

Once the incision(s) are made, the skin is separated from the abdominal wall and the muscles are pulled tight and sutured. The skin is pulled tight, the excess of which is removed and the remaining skin stitched back into place.

Tummy tuck surgery normally takes between one and three hours. 

What About Postoperative Recovery?


You will need to rest in bed for several days afterward. Stitches are usually removed between 5-7 days after your procedure. Some patients return to work after a week, but two may be more suitable. You will need to be careful not to do any vigorous activity for six weeks, and it will be several months before you feel completely fine—and up to a year for your scars to heal completely.

Do consult your surgeon in Bali as to when you will be able to fly back home (for example, you may need to stay on the island to have your stitches out and/or attend a follow-up appointment). He or she should be able to give you a rough timeline so you can plan your trip accordingly. 

How Much Can I Save on a Tummy Tuck in Bali Compared to Australia and New Zealand?


The average cost of a tummy tuck in Australia AUD $14,000 (NZD $15,000; US $10,700; CAD $14,000; GBP £8,600; EUROS €10,100). [Please note: these prices are approximate estimates based on international data, calculated at the time of writing.]

We had a great experience, our doctor Oray Karaçaylı is extremely professional. Thanks to his trust and warm approach, my daughter did not experience any problems before and after the surgery. The nurses on duty were also very attentive and caring. There were only no consumables in our room, we got soap and paper after a 3-hour wait.

Dear Professor Cenk Ersavaş, I cannot thank you enough for the abscess drainage surgery I had on February 11th. As someone who had previously undergone an unsuccessful operation and an unnecessary intervention, I was worried when I came to you. However, I reached out to you by trusting the comments on the internet and I understood very clearly how right I was during and after the surgery. You are not only an excellent surgeon, but also a sincere and trustworthy person who approaches his patients like a brother, who is always accessible. I am 40 years old and I have never met such a doctor before. I feel very lucky to have met you. Brother Cenk, thank you so much for everything! I am so glad you exist, I am so glad I got to know you.

All the doctors are very good and egoless. They do not look down on people and speak with attitude. The dialogue between the doctors is also very good and they successfully produced a solution to a complicated situation together. The nurses and the desk clerks are very cheerful. We slept on the second floor. The floors and rooms are clean and the food is very good. If you have any health problems, first go to a Memorial Ataşehir.
