Everything You Need to Know About Mommy Makeovers

The Mommy Makeover is a combination of aesthetic surgical procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after childbirth. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can significantly affect the body’s shape, skin elasticity, and breast tissue. Mommy Makeover surgeries aim to correct these changes in a natural and harmonious way. At advanced clinics like Esteaura, these procedures are customized according to each woman’s body structure, skin type, and aesthetic expectations, resulting in natural-looking and long-lasting outcomes.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a versatile aesthetic procedure that focuses on reshaping the body after childbirth. It typically combines abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast lift or augmentation, liposuction, and genital aesthetics. The goal is not only to restore the pre-pregnancy figure but also to create more balanced body proportions. Each patient’s treatment plan differs; for some, only the abdomen and breasts may need correction, while for others, the hips and waist may also be included.

At Esteaura, the Mommy Makeover plan is created after a detailed analysis of the patient’s post-pregnancy physical changes. To maintain the overall aesthetic balance, procedures can be performed in a single session or in two stages. This allows patients to achieve long-term aesthetic transformation with one recovery period.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

The Mommy Makeover is ideal for women who experience loose abdominal skin, stretch marks, or sagging breasts after pregnancy. It is best suited for individuals who have finished breastfeeding, are in good general health, and are near their ideal body weight. Additionally, those with a body mass index (BMI) below 30 tend to have a lower risk of complications.

  • Women who have lost skin elasticity after pregnancy,
  • Those with loose or excess abdominal tissue,
  • Women suffering from sagging or loss of breast volume,
  • Those with postnatal genital area deformities,
  • Women who stopped breastfeeding at least six months prior are considered good candidates for a Mommy Makeover.

At Esteaura, the preoperative assessment includes an analysis of hormonal balance, wound healing capacity, and postoperative expectations, leading to a personalized treatment plan.

What Procedures Are Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Since the Mommy Makeover is a combination procedure, it typically involves multiple surgeries in one session. The most common procedures include tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift or augmentation, and genital rejuvenation. In some cases, buttock contouring or filler applications are also added. Each operation focuses on restoring post-pregnancy body harmony and achieving a symmetrical appearance.

Every procedure performed at Esteaura aims to achieve minimal scarring and the most natural results possible. The treatment plan is tailored according to the patient’s age, skin type, number of pregnancies, and expectations, ensuring long-term aesthetic and functional results.

Tummy Tuck, Breast Surgery, and Liposuction Combination

The tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is the cornerstone of most Mommy Makeover operations. It removes excess skin, tightens weakened abdominal muscles, and improves the appearance of stretch marks. When combined with liposuction, it helps define the waistline and enhances the body’s natural curves.

Breast aesthetics address the loss of volume and firmness that occurs after breastfeeding. Depending on the patient’s needs, this may include a lift, reduction, or silicone implant augmentation. Combining breast surgery with abdominal contouring rejuvenates both the upper and lower body simultaneously. At Esteaura, these combined procedures are often performed in one session, offering patients a smoother recovery experience.

Preoperative Preparation and Doctor Consultation

Before the Mommy Makeover, a comprehensive consultation process is carried out. The patient’s medical history, number of pregnancies, current health status, and aesthetic goals are reviewed. Blood tests, EKG, and occasionally ultrasound examinations are performed. Smoking should be stopped at least three weeks before surgery, as it negatively affects healing.

At Esteaura, an individualized surgical plan is prepared for each patient. Preoperative dietary adjustments and medication planning are completed, and the correct sizes for compression garments and surgical bras are determined. This ensures the patient is both physically and mentally ready for the procedure day.

Anesthesia, Surgery Duration, and Hospital Process

The Mommy Makeover is usually performed under general anesthesia. The operation time varies depending on the number of procedures, generally lasting between four and six hours. Since multiple areas are treated, an overnight hospital stay is recommended for observation and drainage monitoring.

At Esteaura, surgeries are conducted by a multidisciplinary team including anesthesiologists, plastic surgeons, and specialized nurses. They work in coordination to ensure both safety and comfort. Postoperative pain management is handled carefully, and patients are closely monitored during the first 24 hours.

Recovery Period and Postoperative Care

The recovery process generally takes two to four weeks. Mild pain, tightness, and swelling are normal in the first few days but subside with prescribed medications. Stitches are removed within 10–14 days, while complete recovery may take up to three months. During this time, patients should avoid heavy lifting, carrying children, or sudden movements.

Esteaura provides one-on-one postoperative follow-up, including wound care, garment use, and check-up appointments. Maintaining a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and getting enough rest help support recovery and long-term results.

Scar Care, Bra, and Corset Usage

When proper care is taken, surgical scars fade significantly over time. At Esteaura, silicone-based scar creams suited to the patient’s skin are recommended. For the first six months, sun exposure should be avoided to prevent darkening of the scars. Laser-assisted scar treatments can also improve skin smoothness and appearance.

Wearing a compression garment after a tummy tuck and a supportive bra after breast surgery is crucial. These medical garments help protect stitches and maintain body contour. They are generally recommended for continuous use for six to eight weeks.

Longevity of Results and Maintaining Body Shape

The longevity of Mommy Makeover results largely depends on lifestyle. Maintaining a stable weight, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet help ensure long-lasting outcomes. Significant weight gain or another pregnancy may lead to new deformations in the abdomen or breast area.

Esteaura supports patients postoperatively with personalized diet programs, lymphatic drainage massages, and skin-tightening treatments. These measures help preserve both aesthetic appearance and skin quality in the long term. Regular follow-up visits are encouraged to minimize complication risks.

As of 2025, Mommy Makeover prices vary depending on the scope of the operation, the surgical techniques used, and the surgeon’s expertise. Since multiple procedures (such as tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast aesthetics) are performed in a single session, prices are determined individually. The average price range is between 120,000 and 200,000 TL.
