What is Mommy Makeover Surgery? 

Mommy-makeover operation is a combined plastic surgery treatment that aims to improve the deformations that have occurred in the body after childbirth or during pregnancy. It includes a tummy tuck, labiaplasty, and breast and liposuction surgeries. The mommy-makeover aesthetic operation, which is suitable to be performed 1 year after childbirth, is performed under general anesthesia and lasts an average of 3-5 hours. 

During pregnancy and postpartum time, some disturbing and unaesthetic appearances may occur in the female body. Growth in the breasts, cracks in the abdominal area due to weight gain, increase in the amount of fat in the waist and leg areas are the factors that cause bad appearance. These problems can be solved with a special treatment plan shaped according to the individual's demand and general health status. 

Mommy-makeover treatment is a suitable plastic surgery procedure for every woman who has aesthetic and physical concerns due to various deformations that occur after childbirth.

How is Mommy Makeover Aesthetic Process?

Mommy makeover aesthetic operation is performed for an average of 5-6 hours and under general anesthesia. It is very important to perform all analyzes and examinations for the individual before surgery. After all preoperative analyzes are performed, the general health status is evaluated by the anesthesiologist. As required by the procedure, a consent form is obtained from the patient before the operation regarding the details of the surgery. 

If the breast tissue remains excessively large after the pregnancy ends, a breast reduction operation is planned for these patients. If there is a volume loss in the breast tissue, the breast implant may be preferred and a breast augmentation operation is performed with it. In addition to these changes, if both sagging and volume loss are observed in the patient, then breast lift and prosthesis surgery may be appropriate.

Although it varies from person to person, the mommy makeover aesthetic operation generally starts with liposuction (fat removal) treatment. After the fat removal process, which allows the thinning of the needed areas, the tummy tuck process and the last stages, breast surgery, and labiaplasty, which requires intervention in the vaginal area, are performed. Drains are inserted into the patient to prevent blood and fluids that may accumulate in the areas where the operation is performed and to minimize edema. When the operation is over, the patient is dressed in a corset. The patient is accommodated in the hospital for one or two days of rest after the procedure.

How is the Recovery Process of a Mommy Makeover Operation?

Since mommy makeover aesthetic surgery is performed with the combination of more than one operation, the recovery time is not short. Although it varies from person to person, the patient will be completely healed in an average of 3 months. To return to daily life and feel the first signs of recovery, about 1.5 weeks are needed. 

After the operation, the patient or the patient's relative must listen carefully to the doctor's recommendations. It is usual to observe pain and swelling sensation for about 2 weeks after the aesthetic operation. To relieve these pains, it is necessary to use the medicaments to be prescribed by the doctor regularly. It is important not to lift heavy things for the first 6 months. Exercise programs should be performed with the advice of a doctor to contribute to the permanence of the effects of the operation. To maintain a regained fit body, it is necessary to include a healthy nutrition program in life.

What are the Benefits of Mommy Makeover Operation?

The elimination of deformities that arise due to several reasons before and after motherhood is possible with the ‘mommy-makeover’ operation. During the aesthetic procedure, the excess skin tissue in the abdominal area is removed and the abdominal muscles are made tighter than before. In this way, the patient has a more dynamic and athletic abdominal appearance. The deteriorated skin quality is re-improved with the mommy-makeover aesthetic operation and the aesthetic appearance is obtained. Thanks to the restoration of the skin tissue that has lost its elasticity due to the weight gained in the pregnancy and postpartum period, all complaints are eliminated. With maternity aesthetics, the body structure that was had before pregnancy is restored.
