Mommy makeover is a combined type of operation preferred by patients who have various deformities in their body, especially after birth. In mommy makeover operation, tummy tuck, fat removal and breast lift/reduction procedures are applied together according to the needs and preferences of the patient.
Although mommy makeover focuses on body operations, it can also be combined with facial operations. At this point, which operations will be preferred is determined by the patient's expectations and the doctor's expert opinion.
As a result of the Mommy makeover operation, which is a highly personalised surgery, degenerations such as breast and skin sagging are eliminated. Excess fat and skin tissues in the body are removed from the operation areas. In this way, the body is given a new and improved form.
As a result of the tests, the patient, who does not have any discomfort that prevents the operation, has an interview with his doctor before the operation. In this meeting, measurements and drawings are made to guide the operation. The mommy makeover, which is performed under general anaesthesia, takes an average of 5-6 hours, depending on the areas to be intervened in the operation. If liposuction is to be performed, the mommy makeover surgery is started with this operation. Tummy tuck and breast surgery are the operations that follow liposuction.
Since it is an operation that can be personalised from patient to patient, the operations to be performed during the mommy makeover and their order may vary. At the end of the operation, the patient is dressed in a protective corset and taken to the patient room. After the mommy makeover, the patient stays in the hospital for 2 nights due to the fact that it is a combined operation and is checked by the doctor. On the morning of the 3rd day, the patient can return home/hotel.
FIRST 1 WEEK:
After the mommy makeover, the patient should not tire the body and avoid movements that will damage the stitches, especially in the first processes. The drains placed after the breast operation are removed by the doctor after 2 days, and the drains placed in the abdomen and liposuction area are removed by the doctor after 5 days. During these processes, the patient is regularly monitored. The patient can take a bath 2 days after the removal of the sticks. It is very important for the patient to rest for the first week. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided, and care should be taken to use the medicines and creams recommended by the doctor when necessary.
DAY 7 - 10.
After the mommy makeover operation, the patient's final controls are carried out and as of the 10th day, the patient can return home if she lives abroad or outside the city.
4 - WEEK 6
The 1st month of the mommy makeover operation is a process in which healing continues to occur rapidly and the oedema subsides. The average healing process is considered 4-6 weeks. Heavy sports and sudden movements should be avoided. Light exercises can be started at the end of the 6th week. Exercises that will not tire and sweat the body should be preferred. The use of corset can be continued within the doctor's recommendation. If the doctor has recommended medication or cream, it is very important to follow the instructions.
6TH MONTH - 1ST YEAR
The final recovery period after the mommy makeover operation is approximately one year. Since it is a combined surgery, differences can be observed in this period according to the regions. At the end of the 1st year, the operation scars on the body lose their prominence and the oedema/swelling disappears completely. Monthly controls are provided after the patient submits his/her photographs to the health counsellor. As a result of the examination of the photographs by the doctor, cream and medication recommendations can be made to the patient. It is very important for the patient to follow the doctor's recommendations during the healing process in order to have the best result. In addition, regulating nutritional habits and making them healthy play a major role in maintaining the current aesthetic appearance.
