What is Mommy Makeover?

Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeover is a set of aesthetic operations aimed at correcting the changes that occur in the body after childbirth. Pregnancy and childbirth cause significant changes in the female body, especially in the abdomen, breasts and hips. These changes may not be fully corrected with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Mommy makeover is an approach that encompasses multiple surgical procedures that help mothers regain their self-confidence and achieve their pre-natal appearance. These operations, which are applied with modern medical techniques, are planned individually and performed safely.

Mommy Makeover Surgery

Mommy makeover surgery is a comprehensive surgical procedure to correct postpartum changes in the body. This surgery is not a single operation, but a combination that can include multiple procedures customized to the needs of the individual. These operations are performed under general anesthesia using modern surgical techniques.

There are very important changes in the female body during pregnancy. The most important changes are seen in the abdomen and breast area. Tummy tuck surgery aims to remove stretch marks and excess skin in the abdominal area.

During breastfeeding, breasts fill with milk and grow. After lactation, the breasts lose volume and deflate. After childbirth, breasts often lose their pre-pregnancy form. With breast reduction surgery combined within the scope of maternity aesthetics, the breast is tried to be restored to its pre-pregnancy form. In some cases, the breast is not very large in volume and sagging in the breast may be more prominent. In these patients, the actual breast lift can be targeted by minimally reducing the breast tissue.

Another problem encountered with pregnancies is the change in body fat distribution. Unwanted fat can usually accumulate in the waist and back areas. Within the scope of maternity aesthetics, a slimmer waist image is tried to be obtained with liposuction to be performed on the abdomen and waist areas.

Some deformations may also occur in the genital area, especially after normal births. These deformations are usually in the form of enlargement of the vagina to the extent that it negatively affects sexual intercourse and the emergence of urinary incontinence problems. In the treatment of these conditions, methods such as vaginal tightening, rectocele surgery, cystocele surgery, bladder botox can be used. Although these conditions that occur after pregnancies are related to motherhood, they are not included in the concept of mommy makeover.
