What We Do

We publish evidence-based guides on every important aspect of tummy tuck surgery: types of tummy tuck, muscle repair, recovery, safety, cost, and — because this is our specific focus — tummy tuck in Turkey: how to vet a surgeon safely, what all-inclusive packages really include, and whether the safety picture in accredited Turkish hospitals matches the price advantage.

What We Are Not

  • We are not a clinic. We do not perform surgery, we do not employ surgeons, and we cannot book an operation for you.
  • We are not a booking agency. We do not receive commissions or referral fees from any surgeon, hospital, or medical-tourism agency.
  • We are not affiliated with any specific clinic in Turkey or elsewhere.
  • We do not offer medical advice. Nothing on this site replaces a face-to-face consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has examined you.

How We Work

Every page on this site is:

  1. Written from primary sources — peer-reviewed research (PubMed/NCBI), professional-society guidance (ASPS, ISAPS, JCI), and government health resources (MedlinePlus, NIH). We maintain a strict whitelist of authoritative medical sources and a blacklist of aggregator sites we do not cite.
  2. Medically reviewed before publication by our Medical Review Board of board-certified plastic surgeons.
  3. Reviewed annually or when significant new evidence emerges, whichever comes first.
  4. Sourced inline — every citation-worthy claim is linked to its source so you can verify it yourself.
  5. Corrected transparently if we get something wrong. We publish a corrections log on our editorial standards page.

Full detail of our editorial process, source policy, and medical review workflow is on our Editorial Standards page.

How We're Funded

We are supported by editorial-independent display advertising, general information partnerships, and — where relevant — links to broad-market products (compression garments, scar care, financing platforms) that our team has evaluated. We do not accept payment to feature specific surgeons or specific clinics. We do not receive commission when a reader books an operation.

This independence is core to our purpose. There are plenty of clinic-affiliated websites in this space; there are very few genuinely independent editorial ones focused on patients considering surgery abroad. Ours is intended to be one of them.
