In this article, we will examine the benefits and procedures of mommy makeover and combined aesthetic surgeries, as well as Dr. Erman Ak’s expertise in this field. Our goal is to help you find the best solution for you by learning about these innovative methods of cosmetic surgery.

What is Mommy Makeover?

Mommy makeover is a comprehensive approach that includes a series of plastic surgery procedures aimed at correcting the changes that occur in a woman’s body after childbirth. Pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding cause various changes in a woman’s body. These changes often manifest themselves in the form of abdominal laxity, loss of breast volume or sagging breasts, stretch marks on the skin, and general body deformity.

Scope and Purpose of Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeovers are designed to help mothers regain their physical appearance and self-confidence. Procedures typically include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast lift or augmentation, liposuction, and in some cases, vaginoplasty. These procedures are customized for each patient based on their needs and aesthetic goals.

Most Preferred Mommy Makeover Procedures

1. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): It corrects the sagging caused by the expansion of the abdominal muscles and skin during pregnancy.
2. Breast Lift or Augmentation: Corrects breast volume loss or sagging after breastfeeding.
3. Liposuction: It removes stubborn fat deposits from the body and provides a smoother body contour.
4. Vaginoplasty: Corrects vaginal deformities after childbirth.

These procedures help women to regain the physical characteristics they have lost in the postpartum period and to feel better about themselves. Dr. Erman Ak offers the most appropriate and effective solutions to his patients with his expertise in this field.

Combined Aesthetic Surgeries

Combined aesthetic procedures refer to the performance of multiple aesthetic procedures in a single surgical session. This approach allows patients to solve multiple problems with a single healing process and allows for a more holistic and harmonious aesthetic result.

Definition of Combined Aesthetic Surgeries

Combined plastic surgery is a widely used method in plastic surgery that allows patients to achieve both physical and psychological benefits. These surgeries are ideal for women who have various aesthetic problems in their bodies, especially after motherhood. Procedures such as tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction can be performed in the same session.

Common Combined Procedures

1. Facelift and Rhinoplasty: The shape and size of the nose can be corrected to give the face a more youthful and balanced appearance.
2. Tummy Tuck and Liposuction: It removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, while also eliminating stubborn fat deposits in other areas for a slimmer, more toned body.
3. Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation: By simultaneously correcting sagging and volume loss in the breasts, fuller and lifted breasts are achieved.
4. Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift: It provides a more harmonious body appearance by correcting postpartum deformities in the abdominal and breast areas in a single session.

Advantages of Combined Aesthetic Surgeries

• Time and Cost Savings: Multiple operations can be performed simultaneously, saving time and money.
