What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that aim to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body. It is a personalized treatment plan tailored to address each individual’s specific concerns. Typically, a mommy makeover includes procedures such as breast augmentation, lifting, tummy tuck, and liposuction.  By combining multiple procedures into one surgery, mothers can achieve comprehensive rejuvenation and regain their confidence.

Benefits of Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover offers a myriad of benefits that extend beyond just physical appearance. Many women experience a boost in self-confidence and body image after undergoing these procedures. Restoring their pre-pregnancy body can help mothers feel more comfortable and at ease in their skin. Additionally, a mommy makeover can improve posture and alleviate physical discomfort caused by excess skin and weakened muscles. By addressing both the physical and emotional aspects, a mommy makeover can truly be a life-changing experience for many mothers. One of the most significant benefits of a mommy makeover is the ability to address multiple areas of concern in a single surgery. By combining procedures, mothers can save time and money compared to undergoing each treatment separately. This comprehensive approach also ensures that the results are harmonious and balanced, as all procedures are performed in conjunction with each other.

Components of a Mommy Makeover

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) 

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure commonly included in a Mommy Makeover, targeting the abdomen area to remove excess fat and skin and tighten abdominal muscles, typically after pregnancy or significant weight loss. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision along the lower abdomen, often below the bikini line, to access the underlying muscles and tissues. The excess skin and fat are then removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened and sutured together to create a firmer, flatter abdominal profile. Tummy tucks can have transformative effects, restoring confidence and helping individuals achieve their desired body contours.

Liposuction

Liposuction, a common component of Mommy Makeover procedures, is a surgical technique used to remove excess fat deposits from various parts of the body. Particularly popular after pregnancy, liposuction can target areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and arms, helping to sculpt and contour the body. During the procedure, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions in the skin, and fat is suctioned out using a vacuum-like device. This results in a smoother, more streamlined silhouette, enhancing the overall appearance. Liposuction is often combined with other cosmetic procedures, like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation, to achieve comprehensive results.

Breast Operations

Breast operations are a common component of Mommy Makeover procedures, addressing changes in breast shape, size, and firmness that can occur after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. These operations typically include breast reduction, breast lift, or a combination of both, tailored to the individual’s aesthetic goals and needs. By restoring breast contour and proportion, these procedures can significantly improve self-confidence and body image.

Breast Lifting

Breast lifting, a key component of Mommy Makeover procedures, is a surgical technique designed to address sagging or drooping breasts that often occur after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. Also known as mastopexy, this procedure involves reshaping and lifting the breasts to restore a more youthful and perky appearance. During the surgery, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is repositioned to create a firmer and more aesthetically pleasing contour. Breast lifting can also involve repositioning the nipples and areolas to achieve better symmetry and proportion. By rejuvenating the breasts, this procedure can enhance self-confidence and restore a sense of femininity.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, an integral part of the Mommy Makeover process, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size and volume of overly large breasts. Often sought after pregnancy or breastfeeding, or due to genetic predisposition, breast reduction surgery helps alleviate physical discomfort such as back pain, neck pain, and shoulder grooving caused by the weight of the breasts. During the procedure, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped to achieve a more proportionate and balanced appearance with the body frame. Additionally, the nipple-areola complex is often repositioned to a higher, more aesthetically pleasing location. By reducing the size of the breasts, this surgery not only improves physical symptoms but also enhances overall body contour and self-confidence.

Fat Transfer

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a common procedure included in Mommy Makeover surgeries. This technique involves transferring fat from one part of the body, typically areas with excess fat like the abdomen or thighs, to enhance volume in other areas such as the breasts or buttocks. During the procedure, fat cells are harvested through liposuction, purified, and then injected into the desired areas to augment and reshape them. Fat transfer offers a natural alternative to implants, providing subtle yet significant improvements in contour and volume. It’s a popular choice for women seeking to restore lost volume in the breasts or buttocks after pregnancy or weight loss.

Mommy Makeover Before and After

Mommy Makeover Recovery Time

Mommy makeover surgery typically involves a combination of procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body. Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of surgeries performed, but patients generally need about two to four weeks before returning to normal activities. During this time, swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common, which can be managed with prescribed medications and wearing supportive garments. Full recovery and final results may take several months as the body heals and swelling subsides. Patients must follow post-operative instructions provided by their surgeon to ensure a smooth recovery process and optimal outcomes.

Mommy Makeover Potential Risks And Complications

Mommy Makeover procedures, like any surgical intervention, carry certain risks and potential complications that individuals should be aware of before undergoing treatment. While these risks vary depending on the specific procedures involved, common potential complications include:

  • Infection: Infections can occur at the incision sites, leading to inflammation, pain, and possible complications if left untreated.
  • Bleeding: Excessive bleeding during or after surgery can lead to hematoma formation, requiring additional intervention to address.
  • Poor wound healing: Some individuals may experience delayed wound healing or wound dehiscence, where the incisions reopen, increasing the risk of infection and scarring.
  • Scarring: While efforts are made to minimize scarring, all surgical procedures result in some degree of scarring, which may vary in visibility and texture.
  • Changes in sensation: Temporary or permanent changes in sensation, including numbness or hypersensitivity, may occur in the treated areas.
  • Anesthesia risks: Allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or adverse reactions to anesthesia medications are potential risks associated with undergoing anesthesia.
  • Asymmetry: Despite the surgeon’s best efforts, asymmetry in results may occur, requiring additional procedures for correction.
  • Seroma or fluid accumulation: Fluid buildup in the surgical area can lead to swelling, discomfort, and potential complications if not drained properly.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE): Prolonged immobility during recovery can increase the risk of blood clots forming in the legs (DVT) and potentially traveling to the lungs (PE), posing a serious health risk.
  • Dissatisfaction with results: While surgeons strive to meet patients’ expectations, dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcomes or unmet expectations is a possibility, necessitating further discussion and potential revision surgeries.

It’s essential for individuals considering Mommy Makeover procedures to thoroughly discuss these risks and complications with their plastic surgeon, understand the potential implications, and follow pre-operative and post-operative instructions diligently to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.

Side Effects of Mommy Makeover

Mommy Makeover procedures, which typically involve a combination of cosmetic surgeries targeting areas such as the abdomen, breasts, and sometimes other body regions, can entail various side effects. Common side effects include temporary discomfort, swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treated areas. Scarring is also typical, though efforts are made to minimize its visibility. Some individuals may experience changes in sensation or emotional effects during the recovery period. While complications are rare, they can include infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Adhering to post-operative instructions and attending follow-up appointments can help manage side effects and ensure a safe recovery.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Turkey I booked with Global Medical care for Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Turkey on 15th February. From arriving at the airport right through to being dropped off at the airport the service was 10/10. I was greeted at the airport by a lovely man, who chauffeured me around the whole time I was there. I was taken to the hospital for tests ready for my surgery the next day. The surgeon I had DR Mehmet Yalim Uçtum was amazing, all the staff at the hospital was great. After 3 nights in hospital I was then discharged and put in a hotel for the night, which I was then able to go around Izmir to do some shopping. The next morning I was collected and took back to the airport. I travelled alone from England to Turkey for my surgey and not once did I feel at ease, everyone was so lovely. This has to be one of the best decision I have made. Anyone who is thinking about booking with this company, I would highly recommend them. The team have been so supportive, messaging and checking in on at all times, it's lovely to know they have stuck by me all the way. So thanks again to Global Medical care for a great experience ***** Kashia Briggs

Great Experience From the moment I contacted global medical they answered all my questions and got back to so quickly. Throughout my whole journey from start to finish I had updates and support when needed. Dr Yalim Uctum answered all my questions and visited me daily after my surgery. I went to turkey by myself and was put at ease throughout the whole journey. Couldn’t ask for a better team.

Georgie Forder

Gastric Sleeve From the moment I enquired with Global Medical Care I have received constant communication, flying to Turkey for surgery is very daunting, however we were made to feel welcome and relaxed. Our Dr has been incredible, he must have visited us 8/9 times during our stay, answering any questions, and really made me feel that he cared. Our translator Sammy was on hand to help with anything we needed and even a rep from GMC came and saw us and spent time with us. Gastric Sleeve is a big operation and the team made us feel so supported. Our surgeon has just text even after discharge. I can’t thank you all enough. My life has completely changed.

The best decision with global medical care team. Just on my last day before travelling back home to England, after having a gastric sleeve with Dr Yalim Ucktum via Global Medical Care. Right from the initial contact, I felt confident in my decision and comforted by every question answered by them. When we got to Turkey, everything was ready, the transfers were lovely big Mercedes, when we got to the hospital for our first night, our English translator was there straight away and ordered us dinner. We started with our first test which then carried on the next morning, there are so many tests and this was really reassuring. Our doctor came to visit us before our op and just is the loveliest man. The Global Medical Care team were also there, which was lovely as we had been speaking with them for so long. The op itself went really well, and we’ve had great after care from the whole team, including the doctor who kept coming to check on us. I would recommend over and over. AMY WINTER Gastric Sleeve

Total recognition for hair transplants with GMC!
Once again, a big thank you to the whole team at global médical care who did an excellent job for my hair transplant. A very warm welcome, but above all real explanations about the procedure itself, as well as excellent follow-up before, during and after the operation. Both the team and Mr Albert, the Swiss contact, regularly check up on us and are ready to answer all our questions so that everything goes as smoothly as possible. You should know that there are a very large number of hospitals and clinics offering this service, but they are not all the same. This team is very professional and respects to the letter all the aseptic rules for this type of operation, as I myself was a nurse in France, I was very careful with the equipment, changing sterile gloves each time I entered the operating room...
I would highly recommend this team and would like to thank them again for the work they are currently doing in the 1st week post-op. Greg Colandonio

FAQs

A woman in overall good health who has completed her childbearing.

Your plastic surgeon will ask about your general medical history and examine your areas of concern. This is the opportunity for you to discuss what bothers you. Together, you will devise a treatment plan that addresses your concerns and is surgically feasible.

It can be done in one or two stages, depending on how many areas need to be addressed.

It is a combination of the following: breast lift, with or without augmentation; breast reduction; abdominoplasty (also known as a tummy tuck); mini-abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck); and liposuction.

The breasts are lifted. If there is volume loss from pregnancy and breastfeeding, this can be remedied with the addition of a breast implant. Alternatively, if the breasts are excessively large and causing discomfort, the size may be reduced. In an abdominoplasty, the abdominal muscles are tightened to strengthen the midsection and narrow the waist. Lastly, the excess lower abdominal skin with stretch marks is removed.

If more children are planned shortly, it is better to wait, especially on the abdominoplasty. Additional pregnancies are possible following abdominoplasty. However, the final result may not be as good if the tissues are stretched again with another pregnancy.

The incision for the abdominoplasty is at the same level on the lower abdomen. Some women have bothersome extra skin that hangs over their cesarean section or hysterectomy incision. An abdominoplasty can remove this scar and skin to smooth the contour.

Yes, it is not possible to perform these operations without making incisions and leaving scars. Once the incisions are fully healed, your plastic surgeon will instruct you as to how to minimize the scars and help them fade over time. With careful operative technique and attention to scar management post-operatively, it is our goal to have the finest, smallest scar possible.

It is generally a suitable option for women who experience significant changes in their bodies after pregnancy or breastfeeding and are uncomfortable with these changes. However, health status, lifestyle, and other factors should also be taken into consideration.

The healing process varies from person to person, but usually for the first few days, the patient rests to relax. Depending on the surgical procedures, the full recovery process can take 4 to 6 weeks or longer.

Mommy Makeover results are usually permanent, but the aging process, weight changes, and other factors can affect the results. With the right lifestyle choices, the results can be made to last longer.

As with any surgical procedure, a Mommy Makeover involves some risks. These can include things such as bleeding, infection, anesthetic-related complications, wound healing problems, and unexpected reactions. These risks should be discussed in detail by the surgeon.
