Overview
A mommy makeover is a personalised combination of procedures designed to address changes to the body that may follow pregnancy and breastfeeding. It most often combines breast surgery, such as a lift or augmentation, with a tummy tuck and liposuction, although the exact plan is tailored to each patient.
At Quality Clinic Istanbul, your surgeon will listen to your priorities and assess which combination of procedures, if any, may be appropriate and safe for you.
Potential benefits
- Several concerns addressed in one carefully planned treatment
- One period of anaesthesia and recovery instead of several
- Restoration of breast shape and a firmer abdominal contour
The procedure
A mommy makeover is performed under general anaesthesia. The procedures included and their sequence are planned in advance with your surgeon. In some cases, your surgeon may recommend dividing the treatment into stages for safety.
Recovery
Recovery is usually more involved than for a single procedure. Swelling, tightness and discomfort are expected, and support garments are worn for several weeks. Help with lifting and childcare is strongly recommended during the early recovery period. Your surgeon will guide you on returning to work, exercise and daily activities.
International patients are generally asked to remain in Istanbul for postoperative check-ups before travelling home.
