What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customised combination of surgical procedures designed to restore the body after pregnancy, breastfeeding and the physical demands of motherhood. Rather than addressing one concern at a time, a mommy makeover tackles multiple areas in a single operation — typically the abdomen, breasts and stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise cannot shift.
Pregnancy changes the body in ways that are often permanent without surgical intervention. The abdominal muscles separate (diastasis recti), breast volume deflates or drops, excess skin gathers around the midsection, and fat accumulates in previously lean areas. A mommy makeover restores the body you had before children, or achieves the silhouette you always wanted but pregnancy made impossible.
At MedProper Istanbul, mommy makeovers are among our most popular combination procedures. The logic is straightforward: combining procedures into a single surgical session saves you a second general anaesthetic, a second flight, a second recovery period and thousands of pounds.
In 2026, mommy makeover surgery at MedProper starts from £4,500 all-inclusive — a fraction of the £10,000 to £18,000 typically quoted by private clinics in the United Kingdom. Every package includes hospital stay, surgeon fees, anaesthesia, medication, compression garments, airport transfers and five-star hotel accommodation in central Istanbul.
What Procedures Are Included?
A mommy makeover is not a single operation with a fixed definition. It is a bespoke surgical plan built around your specific concerns. At MedProper, your surgeon designs the combination that gives you the best possible result in the safest way. Below are the core procedures that make up the majority of mommy makeover plans.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The tummy tuck is the foundation of almost every mommy makeover. Pregnancy stretches the abdominal skin and separates the rectus abdominis muscles along the midline. Even women who return to their pre-pregnancy weight often cannot flatten their lower abdomen because the muscles have physically separated.
During abdominoplasty, your surgeon removes excess skin between the navel and the pubic area, tightens the underlying muscle wall with internal sutures and repositions the belly button. The result is a firmer, flatter abdomen with a low horizontal scar within the bikini line.

MedProper offers several tummy tuck variations:
Full tummy tuck — addresses the entire abdominal wall from the ribcage to the pubic bone
Mini tummy tuck — focuses on the area below the navel only, with a shorter scar
Extended tummy tuck — wraps the incision around the flanks for patients with excess skin on the sides
360-degree tummy tuck — a circumferential approach that addresses the front, sides and lower back
Breast Lift, Augmentation or Reduction
After pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts commonly lose volume, sag or become asymmetrical. The breast component is tailored to your goals:
Breast lift (mastopexy) — removes excess skin and repositions the nipple to a higher position. Ideal for women happy with their size but unhappy with drooping.
Breast augmentation — places silicone implants to restore lost volume or increase cup size. MedProper uses Mentor and Motiva implants with a lifetime warranty.
Breast augmentation with lift — combines implants with a lift for women who have lost volume and experienced significant sagging. This is the most popular breast option in our mommy makeover patients.
Breast reduction — removes excess tissue and skin for women whose post-pregnancy breast size causes back pain, shoulder grooving or discomfort. The result is a lighter, lifted and proportionate bust.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets localised fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. In a mommy makeover, it refines the waistline, flanks, inner thighs, arms or back — areas that abdominoplasty alone cannot reach.
MedProper uses VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) technology, which breaks down fat cells with ultrasound before gentle aspiration. VASER offers smoother results, less bruising and faster recovery than traditional liposuction.
Common liposuction areas in a mommy makeover:
Flanks and love handles
Upper and lower back (bra-line fat)
Inner and outer thighs
Upper arms
Submental area (double chin)
Optional Add-Ons (BBL, Labiaplasty, Arm Lift)
Brazilian butt lift (BBL) — fat harvested during liposuction is purified and injected into the buttocks for a fuller shape. An increasingly popular addition that makes excellent use of fat already being removed.
Labiaplasty — addresses changes to the labia that can occur after vaginal delivery. Many women experience elongation or asymmetry of the labia minora, which can cause discomfort during exercise or intimacy. Combining labiaplasty with a mommy makeover avoids a separate procedure and recovery period.
Arm lift (brachioplasty) — removes excess hanging skin from the upper arms. Many mothers notice that the upper arms are one of the last areas to respond to weight loss.
Thigh lift — tightens the inner or outer thighs for patients with loose skin after significant weight fluctuation during pregnancy.
Customising Your Mommy Makeover
Every mommy makeover at MedProper begins with a detailed free virtual consultation. During your video call, you will discuss:
Your specific concerns — which areas bother you most and what result you hope for
Your medical history — previous surgeries, pregnancies, breastfeeding status, medications and BMI
Procedure selection — which combination achieves your goals safely in a single session
Realistic expectations — what surgery can and cannot achieve
Budget and packages — a transparent, all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees
Your surgeon may recommend staging certain procedures across two sessions if combining everything would exceed a safe anaesthesia time (generally five to six hours). Patient safety always takes priority at MedProper.
Many patients book as a pair. Our best friends dual package allows two patients to share a hotel suite, coordinate surgery dates and recover together. This is especially popular with mothers who find it easier to arrange childcare and travel with a companion.

Even at the upper end of our pricing with flights added, a mommy makeover at MedProper costs less than the surgeon fee alone at many UK private clinics.
Why is it so much cheaper? The cost difference is not a reflection of quality. It is driven by lower operating costs in Turkey (staff salaries, hospital overheads, property costs), favourable exchange rates and the sheer volume of cosmetic procedures performed in Istanbul — which creates economies of scale. MedProper performs hundreds of combination procedures each year, using the same implant brands, the same anaesthesia protocols and the same safety standards as leading European hospitals.
Does the NHS fund mommy makeovers? No. The NHS does not fund cosmetic surgery for post-pregnancy body changes. In exceptional cases, the NHS may fund an abdominoplasty if there is a documented medical need (such as severe skin infections caused by excess abdominal skin), but this is extremely rare and typically involves waiting lists of two years or more. Breast procedures and liposuction are not covered under any circumstances. For the vast majority of UK mothers, the choice is between paying privately in the UK or travelling to Turkey for a fraction of the cost.

Am I a Good Candidate?
The ideal candidate:
Has finished having children (or is confident there will be no more)
Has stopped breastfeeding for at least six months
Is at or near a stable weight (within 5–10 kg of target)
Does not smoke, or will stop at least six weeks before and after surgery
Has no uncontrolled medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, clotting disorders)
Has specific concerns related to pregnancy — loose abdominal skin, separated muscles, breast deflation, stubborn fat deposits
A mommy makeover is not recommended if you are planning further pregnancies, currently breastfeeding, have a BMI above 35, or have medical conditions that increase surgical risk.
When to Wait (Breastfeeding, Future Pregnancies, Weight)
Breastfeeding: Wait at least six months after fully stopping breastfeeding before breast surgery. During breastfeeding, breast tissue is engorged and the hormonal environment alters skin elasticity. Operating on breasts that have not yet settled into their post-nursing shape leads to less predictable results. The six-month window allows your breasts to reach their stable post-nursing size so your surgeon can plan accurately.
Future pregnancies: If you are planning more children, it is strongly advisable to wait. A subsequent pregnancy will stretch the abdominal skin and muscles again, potentially reversing tummy tuck results. Breast changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding will also affect any breast procedure outcome. While a future pregnancy will not damage your health, it will likely compromise your aesthetic result and may require revision surgery.
Weight stability: Be at a stable weight for at least three to six months before surgery. Significant weight loss after a tummy tuck can create new loose skin. Significant weight gain can stretch the repaired muscles and expand remaining fat cells. Aim to be within 5–10 kg of your long-term maintainable weight.
Ideal Timing After Your Last Child
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6 to 12 months after delivery (or after stopping breastfeeding, whichever is later). This allows your uterus to return to normal size, hormonal levels to stabilise, abdominal skin to retract naturally and breast tissue to settle.
There is no upper time limit. Many of our patients at MedProper have their mommy makeover years or even decades after their last child. The procedure works just as well whether your youngest is one year old or fifteen.

Sleep on your back, slightly elevated, for the first four weeks
No smoking for at least six weeks before and after surgery
No heavy lifting (over 5 kg) for six weeks — this includes toddlers
Stay hydrated and eat a protein-rich diet to support healing
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments, whether in person or via video call
When Can I Fly Home?
Most patients are cleared to fly seven to ten days after surgery. Your surgeon decides based on drain removal, absence of complications, your comfort sitting upright for three and a half hours (Istanbul to London) and ability to walk through the airport.
Tips for flying after a mommy makeover:
Book an aisle seat so you can stand and walk in the aisle every 30 to 45 minutes
Wear your compression garments and loose, comfortable clothing
Take prescribed blood-thinning medication (usually low-molecular-weight heparin injections) as directed to reduce DVT risk
Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water during the flight
Avoid carrying heavy bags — have your companion or airport assistance service handle luggage
Consider booking wheelchair or special assistance through your airline for a more comfortable airport experience
Childcare Planning: Practical Advice for Mothers
One of the biggest logistical challenges is arranging childcare. You will be away for approximately 10 days and need significant help for two to four weeks after returning.
Before you travel:
Arrange full-time childcare for 10 days — partner, grandparents, siblings or a trusted friend
Batch cook and freeze meals for your family
Brief your children (depending on age) that Mummy is going on a short trip
Ensure school, nursery and activity providers have emergency contacts for your carer
When you return home:
No lifting children for six weeks — plan for someone to lift toddlers into cots, car seats and high chairs
Accept help — the first two weeks at home are the most demanding
Recovery is your priority; lower your housekeeping standards
Ensure you have stopped breastfeeding well before surgery if having breast work
Travelling with a companion: Many patients travel with a friend, sister or partner. A companion helps at the hotel, accompanies you to appointments and provides emotional support. Our best friends dual package is designed for two patients travelling together.
Will a Mommy Makeover Remove Stretch Marks?
The answer depends on location.
Below the belly button: A tummy tuck physically removes the skin between the navel and pubic area. Stretch marks on this skin are permanently eliminated. For many mothers, this is where the majority of pregnancy stretch marks sit.
Above the belly button: Not removed by a standard tummy tuck, but the skin is pulled downward, shifting upper stretch marks to a lower, less visible position.
On the breasts: Breast surgery does not remove stretch marks but can improve their appearance by tightening skin and restoring volume.
On hips and thighs: Not affected unless a thigh lift is included.
Remaining stretch marks: After full healing (six months post-surgery), non-surgical treatments such as microneedling, fractional CO2 laser or PRP therapy can improve texture and colour. These can be arranged at MedProper during a follow-up visit or with a UK dermatologist.
Is a Mommy Makeover Safe in Turkey?
Yes — when performed at an accredited hospital by a board-certified plastic surgeon, a mommy makeover in Turkey is as safe as the same procedure in the UK or Germany.
Turkey is the fourth most popular destination in the world for medical tourism, with over 1.2 million international patients annually. Istanbul alone has more than 50 JCI-accredited hospitals — more than any other European city.
MedProper safety credentials:
JCI accreditation — the gold standard in international healthcare quality
Board-certified surgeons — certified by the Turkish Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery and members of ISAPS
European-standard theatres — full anaesthesia monitoring and emergency equipment

Risks and Complications
All surgery carries inherent risks. Being fully informed is essential.
General surgical risks:
Adverse reaction to general anaesthesia (rare, approximately 1 in 10,000)
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) — risk is minimised with compression stockings, early mobilisation and blood-thinning injections
Infection — approximately 1–3%, managed with prophylactic antibiotics
Bleeding or haematoma — may require drainage or a return to the operating theatre
Delayed wound healing — more common in smokers and patients with diabetes
Tummy tuck specific risks:
Seroma (fluid collection under the skin) — the most common tummy tuck complication, occurring in approximately 5–10% of cases, usually resolved with needle aspiration
Skin necrosis (tissue death) — rare, more likely in smokers
Numbness around the lower abdomen — very common and usually temporary, though some patients experience permanent reduced sensation
Unfavourable scarring — keloid or hypertrophic scars can occur, particularly in patients with a genetic predisposition
Breast surgery specific risks:
Capsular contracture — scar tissue around an implant tightens and hardens (approximately 5–10% over 10 years)
Implant rupture or malposition — may require revision surgery
Changes in nipple sensation — temporary in most cases, permanent in a small percentage
Asymmetry — minor differences between sides are normal; significant asymmetry may require revision
Liposuction specific risks:
Contour irregularities (lumps or dents) — can occur if fat removal is uneven
Skin laxity — if skin elasticity is poor, liposuction may leave loose skin
Fluid imbalance — managed with intravenous fluids during and after surgery
Your MedProper surgeon discusses all relevant risks during consultation and obtains fully informed written consent.
Before and After Results
MedProper maintains an extensive gallery of before and after photographs from mommy makeover patients who have given written consent.
When reviewing photos:
Photographs are taken at 6–12 months post-surgery when final results are visible
Every patient is different — results depend on anatomy, skin quality and procedures performed
Scars are visible in early photos but mature and fade significantly over 12–18 months
All photos are taken under standardised lighting and posture conditions
Request photos during your free virtual consultation. Your coordinator can show results from patients with a similar body type and procedure combination.
