How is Mommy Make-Over Performed?
The operation can be personalized according to the needs of the patient. However, standard Mommy make-over includes; breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, labiaplasty and breast lift. If necessary, butt augmentation is performed with fat injection.
- Liposuction: It is the application of removing excess fat from areas such as the hip, abdomen, back and arms through a tube and channels. It corrects the body lines and makes the person look in shape.
- Labiaplasty: During childbirth, the inner vaginal lips relax. This creates an aesthetically bad appearance and can make life difficult for mothers. The labiaplasty procedure reduces the loosened inner lips and restores them to their former appearance. During this method, the excess part of the skin in the area called ‘Labia Minora’ is removed.
- Breast Augmentation and Lifting: Breasts enlarge and swell during breastfeeding. When the mother stops breastfeeding her baby, it starts to get smaller and smaller. This creates a sagging problem. In the aforementioned procedure, some soft tissues in the chest are removed and a silicone prosthesis is placed. The breasts are given a smooth and healthy appearance. The incisions made along the nipple and its circumference extend downward. Some women have a breast reduction procedure to fix the shape of the breasts instead.
- Tummy Tuck: Excess parts of the abdominal skin are removed and excess fat is removed. A flatter and tighter appearance can be obtained through this.
Usually, the person is asked to stay in the hospital for the first 2 days after the operation. Since all the sutures will remain in the skin, there is no need for stitches removal afterward.
