Post-pregnancy
Mommy Makeover in Istanbul
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the breasts and abdomen in ways that exercise alone may not restore — including skin laxity, stubborn fat and separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).
- Breast lift or augmentation
- Tummy tuck & muscle repair
- Liposuction
- Body contouring
Whether procedures can be combined in a single operation is assessed individually by your surgeon and the anaesthesia team. For some women a staged approach is the safer plan.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is plastic surgery in Turkey safe?
No surgery is without risk, in any country. Safety depends far more on the individual surgeon, the hospital, the anaesthesia team, appropriate patient selection and aftercare than on location. Istanbul has experienced specialists and modern private hospitals, but standards vary between providers. We coordinate care only with specialists working in leading private hospitals, and we encourage every patient to ask detailed questions before deciding.
How do I choose a surgeon in Istanbul?
Look for specialist training in the relevant field, verifiable registration, experience with the specific procedure you are considering, operating privileges at a reputable hospital, and a clear plan for aftercare. Ask who will perform your surgery, request to see consented before-and-after images of similar cases, and make sure you have the opportunity to ask questions in person before giving consent.
Which hospital will I be treated at?
Depending on the surgeon and procedure, treatments may be performed at leading private hospitals in Istanbul, including LIV Hospital Vadistanbul, Memorial Bahçelievler and selected Acıbadem hospitals. The hospital is confirmed in your written treatment plan before you travel.
How many days should I stay in Istanbul?
It depends on the procedure. Minor treatments may need only a few days, while breast, body or combined procedures commonly require around 7–14 days. Each treatment page gives a typical recommended stay, and your surgeon will confirm the length of stay for your plan.
When can I fly after surgery?
Timing depends on the procedure and on your individual recovery. Your surgeon will confirm when it is appropriate to fly, usually after a final check before departure. Long flights soon after surgery increase the risk of blood clots, so you will receive advice on mobilisation, hydration and compression.
What happens if I have a problem after returning home?
Before you leave you receive a discharge summary, medication guidance and a direct contact route for remote follow-up. If you notice a concern, contact your coordinator, who will arrange a review with your surgeon, usually by video with photographs. In an emergency — for example chest pain, breathlessness, heavy bleeding or a high fever — contact your local emergency services first.
Will my information remain confidential?
Yes. Your photographs and medical information are handled confidentially and used only for the assessment and coordination of your care. They are shared only with the clinicians involved in your assessment and treatment.
