What is Mommy Makeover?

Mommy Makeover is a surgical procedure that combines restoration of the areas most affected during motherhood (abdomen, breast and waist/hip line) in the same anesthesia session, rather than focusing on a single surgical area. It is usually performed by combining tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast aesthetics (lift, enlargement or reduction) and liposuction.

Who is Mommy Makeover Suitable for?

Those who have completed the birth and breastfeeding process: Women who have passed at least 6 months after the end of the breastfeeding period and whose breast tissue has stabilized.
Those Who Are Not Planning a New Pregnancy: Candidates who do not plan to become pregnant again in the short term (getting pregnant in the future does not pose a life-threatening risk, but it may affect the aesthetic results obtained).
Those with Sagging and Muscle Separation in the Abdominal Area: Those whose muscles in the anterior abdominal wall have separated after pregnancy (diastasis recti) and their skin has become loose and sagging.
Those Who Experience Loss of Breast Volume and Form: Those who complain about breasts that become empty, sagging or lose their volume after breastfeeding.
Those who are close to their ideal weight: Individuals whose general health condition is suitable for surgery, who are close to their ideal weight or who have stabilized their weight.

How to Do Mommy Makeover?

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 3.5 - 5 hours, depending on the scope of the combined techniques chosen.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty):

* Excess and cracked skin is removed through an incision made on the cesarean scar line.

* The relaxed and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) are stitched along the midline, tightening the abdominal wall and creating an internal corset effect.

Breast Aesthetics (Planned According to Need):

* Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Sagging breast tissue is lifted and the nipple is moved to its required height.

* Breast Augmentation / Silicone Prosthesis: If there is volume loss, fullness is achieved with a silicone implant.

* Breast Reduction: Overgrown and sagging tissues are reduced and made proportional to the body.

Liposuction and Body Contouring:

Stubborn fat in the waist, love handles and back areas is removed with VASER or Laser Liposuction to reveal the waist curve.

Breast Aesthetic Scar: Depending on the procedure performed, it remains in the form of an inverted 'T' or a vertical line around the nipple (areola) or in the fold under the breast.
Liposuction Scars: They consist of micro cannula entry points of only a few millimeters.
Healing Follow-up: While all scars are pink in the first months, they mature within 6-12 months, becoming closer to skin color and becoming indistinct.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a corset and medical bra be worn after Mommy Makeover surgery?

A special body corset and medical support bra are used together for approximately 4-6 weeks to shape the abdomen and waist area and to fit the breasts.

What is child care and return to daily life like after the operation?

Heavy lifting (including holding the child) and sudden movements should be avoided for the first 2 weeks. It is recommended to get support from a helper or family member at home during this process. Desk jobs can usually be returned after the 2nd week.

Can I get pregnant again after Mommy Makeover?

Yes, surgery does not prevent you from getting pregnant or carrying a baby. However, since getting pregnant again may cause the aesthetic results (abdominal muscle tightness and skin tension) to change, it is recommended that the surgery be performed after family planning is completed.

Is having a combined surgery more advantageous than having a single surgery?

Yes. Since it requires a single anesthesia session, a single recovery period and a single hospital stay, it is much more advantageous and comfortable compared to separate surgeries in terms of both time and total cost.
