Mommy Makeover Surgeries

At Dr.Cengizhan Ekizceli Clinic, the mommy makeover procedure is one of today's most popular combination plastic surgery techniques that is specially designed to address the problems of women who are not satisfied with the physical changes resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. In addition, the mommy makeover procedure helps you regain an aesthetic appearance once more.

Motherhood is one of the greatest joys in life, because of the emotion and care that a woman provides to her child. However, it cannot be denied that having a child changes a woman's life as it changes her body. This leads to a feeling of dissatisfaction in the psyche of women. Factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and sleepless nights have negatively affected the life of a woman, her appearance, and her beauty.

WHAT DOES MOMMY MAKEOVER MEAN?
Recently, the mommy makeover procedure has become incredibly popular since it allows plastic surgeons to address multiple areas of a woman's body in a single surgery, giving her a new opportunity to regain control of her body and regain her confidence after childbirth.

WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO MAKE THE DECISION TO HAVE THE MOMMY MAKEOVER?

Women can undergo a mommy makeover six months and above from the childbirth, that is, until the full recovery of the body, and also a period ranging from 3-6 months after stopping breastfeeding.
Mommy makeover is not standard for all women as the elasticity of the skin, breasts, and abdomen during and after pregnancy and breastfeeding varies from one woman to another.
Likewise, the specialist surgeon examines your body, determines your options, and suggests a treatment plan that will allow you to return to family life as quickly as possible.

DURING OPERATIONS
Mommy makeover is performed under general anesthesia.
The most common cosmetic surgery procedures in a mommy makeover surgery are breast, tummy, and liposuction.
In addition, mommy makeover surgery may include the following procedures: buttock augmentation, arm lift, thigh lift, labiaplasty, and other facial operations.

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR PERFORMING SEVERAL TYPES OF PLASTIC SURGERIES IN MOMMY MAKEOVER PROCEDURES?
Doing a single procedure makes the results unsatisfactory because other areas that have not yet undergone surgery will still be remarkable, therefore, the whole body as a whole must be taken into account.

WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES IN A MOMMY MAKEOVER?
Below are explanations of how combined procedures are conducted:

● Breast Augmentation:
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enlarge and correct the breast, either using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of the breast in order to restore the flattened upper area of the breasts and bring back your cleavage since the breasts expand and contract so dramatically during milk production.
‏
In breast augmentation using implants, your surgeon makes an incision, creates a pocket in the breast area, and places an implant in the pocket.
The implant is placed in a pocket either: Underneath the pectoral muscle, which is located between the breast tissue and chest wall, or underneath the breast tissue and on top of the pectoral muscle.

● Breast Lift:
Because the skin must stretch to accommodate all of this milk, many women have eventually left with flatter, saggier breasts that require surgical lifting.
The normal appearance of the breasts is that the nipple is in the middle of the breast and facing forward. In the case that the nipples are facing downward, you must perform a breast lift to return the nipples to the middle of the breasts to give them a more youthful and fresh appearance.
During a breast lift, excess skin is removed and breast tissue is reshaped to raise the breasts.
There are three common incision patterns, your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.
In the first method, your plastic surgeon makes an incision around the areola and vertically down from the areola to the breast crease. In the second method, your surgeon makes an incision around the areola, vertically down from the breast crease and horizontally along the breast crease.
Then your doctor will reshape your breasts.
The excess breast skin is removed, and the underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve breast contour and firmness.
The nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural, more youthful height.

● Breast reduction:
Oftentimes, the size of women's breasts increases during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to obesity and hormonal changes, which leads to women's dissatisfaction with the shape of drooping breasts.
A breast reduction procedure is an operation to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin from your breasts.
The surgeon will first make small incisions in the skin and insert a thin tube to suction the fat from the breasts, then your surgeon makes an incision around the areolae and down the middle of each breast. In this case, the areolae and nipple remain attached to the breasts, then they are repositioned when the breasts tissues and excess fats are removed.
While in the case that the breasts are very large, the areolas are removed and reattached higher up via a skin graft.
Your surgeon reshapes the breasts and makes sure of the proportions of symmetry between them and then stitches back the wounds.

● Tummy tuck:
Pregnancy often leads to sagging skin and damage to the abdominal muscles as the stomach expands to accommodate the growth of the child, and the tissues that connect the two lateral sections of the women’s abdominal muscles can be permanently torn.
All of that leads to the emergence of the abdomen, even if the woman is very skinny, due to the lack of muscles that effectively press on the tissues and organs.
A tummy tuck is the only way to treat the problems of damaged abdominal muscles that no type of exercise will strengthen them and will not make them function normally.
The surgeon needs to tie the abdominal muscles in order for the area to heal properly.
There are two types of a tummy tuck, the mini tummy tuck, which is to tighten the loose skin just below the navel, the incision be shorter, and the full tummy tuck is when there is excess fat and loose skin above the navel and the incision be a little longer.

● Buttock augmentation:
A woman after childbirth and breastfeeding faces many changes in her body and fluctuations in weight, which affect the buttocks area. For a woman, increasing the fullness, roundness, and prominence of the buttocks enhance her self-image and self-confidence.
‏
Buttock augmentation is a surgical procedure to improve the shape and size of the buttocks, and this is done by using buttock fillers, fat injections, or sometimes a combination of both.
Buttock implants are silicone-filled devices that are placed deep in the tissues of the buttocks, while the process of buttock augmentation using fat injections is done by transferring fat from one area of the body to the buttocks, and this is referred to as a Brazilian butt lift.
In addition, excess sagging skin and fat removal are sometimes used to improve the irregular surface of the skin and obtain a smoother and more pleasing appearance.

● Liposuction:
Gaining and losing weight is very normal during pregnancy and childbirth, therefore, liposuction is the main criterion for removing excess fat.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove diet-resistant fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck.
Liposuction is also the golden solution that is used to slim, reshape and improve the woman's body proportion.
At Estherian Clinic, we offer two options of liposuction surgery, Vaser liposuction, and Vaser Hi-Def liposuction, so your surgeon will find out which form may be best suited for you.
The surgeon determines the area between the skin and muscles where the excess fat tissues will be performed, then several small openings will be created in the target area. Excess fat is extracted from the body using a special cannular device inserted through small incisions which are then surgically sealed when complete.

● Arm lift:
Weight fluctuations between gain and loss in women during pregnancy and breastfeeding lead to many problems in her body that make her feel uncomfortable and dissatisfied. One of these problems is sagging skin in the arms area.
An “L” cut is made starting from the armpit and descending to the elbow.
Generally, the incisions will be made on the back and sides of the upper arm. This can be also approached from the armpit or the top of the elbow, The method will be predetermined.
The surgeon performs liposuction if there is excess fat, then he uses sutures to close the incision.

● Thigh lift:
Sagging skin in the thighs area is another problem that women face after gaining and losing weight during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The thigh lift is the best solution if you want your thighs to have a better contour, more proportion, and a firmer look and feel.
A thigh lift is a procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from either the inner or outer thighs.
The surgeon will first remove the excess fat if the patient has excess fat in the thighs.
Then sagging skin areas are identified and incisions are made to remove excess skin.
Finally, both sides of the skin are sutured and closed to complete the surgery.

● Facial procedures:
In addition to the above, the plastic surgeon may see a need to perform some facial surgeries such as eyelid lift, eyebrow lift, forehead reduction, facelift, filler, or fat injections, all to remove wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and lips and restore the fullness of the cheeks.

POST MOMMY MAKEOVER PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS
The recovery period is about two to four weeks. After about a month, you can bend and lift normally.
You must follow the doctor's instructions for a quick recovery and avoid annoying side effects. The doctor will also prescribe a compression bandage for certain areas of your body to reduce swelling.
