Motherhood is the most miraculous experience in a woman’s life. However, the processes of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding lead to significant deformations in the female body. These include the deflation and sagging of breasts, separation of abdominal muscles, skin stretch marks, and stubborn regional fat accumulation.
No matter how much many mothers diet or exercise after giving birth, they often cannot return their bodies to their former state. This situation can lead to a loss of self-confidence and unhappiness, fueled by the feeling of “I am no longer my old self.” Dr. Andan Clinic gives mothers “themselves” back through Mommy Makeover (Maternal Aesthetics).
Mommy Makeover is not a single surgery; it is a comprehensive set of procedures where the areas most affected by the motherhood process (breasts, abdomen, waist) are corrected in a combined single session. The goal is to restore the mother to her pre-pregnancy form, and sometimes even to a better body contour.
This combined surgery is planned entirely according to the individual’s needs (“Tailor-Made”). It generally consists of the following “Triple Package”:
Breast Aesthetics: For breasts that have emptied and sagged after breastfeeding, Breast Lift (Mastopexy) or, if there is also a loss of volume, Breast Lift with Implants is performed. The goal is to create a firm and full cleavage.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Sagging skin and stretch marks are removed, and most importantly, the separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) are repaired to flatten the abdomen.
Liposuction: Stubborn fat in the waist, back, and hip areas is removed using Vaser Liposuction to define the body contour (hourglass shape).
If necessary, Genital Aesthetics (Labioplasty/Vajinoplasty) can also be added to this combination.
The reasons why Mommy Makeover operations are so popular at Dr. Andan Clinic include:
Single Anesthesia, Single Recovery: Mothers are usually short on time. Instead of having separate surgeries for each region and experiencing multiple recovery processes, it is a great comfort to get rid of all problems at once (with an operation lasting approximately 4-5 hours).
Holistic Transformation: Correcting only the abdomen and leaving sagging breasts, or vice versa, does not provide aesthetic integrity. Combined surgery balances body proportions all at once.
Cost Advantage: Compared to having separate surgeries, combined packages are more advantageous in terms of cost.
Mommy Makeover is a major transformation, and the recovery process requires patience.
Hospital Stay: Generally, a 2-night stay is recommended.
First Week: This is the rest period at home. An escort or caregiver is needed. The use of arms (due to breast surgery) and walking upright (due to abdominal surgery) are restricted. Lifting children is prohibited.
Second Week: Return to light daily tasks and social life begins.
Full Recovery: After 6 weeks, the corset is removed, and sports activities can begin.
The Dr. Andan Clinic team meticulously continues post-operative follow-up and care support to ensure that mothers get through this process in the most comfortable way.
Motherhood requires sacrifice, but this sacrifice does not mean giving up on your womanhood and your body. Mommy Makeover is not a luxury; it is a physical and spiritual restoration. Step into change with Dr. Andan Clinic to spend time energetically with your children, be happy when you look in the mirror, and fit back into that old favorite dress.
The body needs at least 6 months (preferably 1 year) after giving birth to recover, for the swelling to go down and for hormones to return to normal. In addition, breastfeeding should have ended and at least 3-6 months should have passed.
Every surgery carries risks, but patient selection is particularly important in combined procedures due to the extended duration. At Dr. Andan Clinic, this combination is not performed on patients who are not in suitable general health, are severely overweight (borderline obese), or are heavy smokers. Risks are minimised by staying within safety limits (maximum 5-6 hours).
Scars are planned to remain hidden under underwear and swimwear. The abdominal scar is concealed under a bikini, while breast scars are hidden in the breast fold or around the areola. Over time, they fade and become less noticeable.
Yes, you can. However, a new pregnancy may compromise the aesthetic results (abdominal tightness and breast shape). For this reason, we recommend this surgery to mothers who have completed their family planning.
A Mommy Makeover is not a weight loss surgery but a body contouring surgery. As the abdomen flattens, the waist slims down and the breasts lift, our patients generally experience a reduction of 1-2 dress sizes.
