WHAT A MOMMY MAKEOVER CAN INCLUDE
One surgery, one recovery, planned around your goals
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight changes affect every body differently, so there is no fixed package. Dr. Cüce combines the procedures you actually need, based on your photos, your health and what you want to change.
Tummy tuck
Removes loose skin, tightens separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) and creates a flatter, firmer abdomen. Stretch marks below the belly button are often removed too.
Breast lift or augmentation
Restores the shape and volume lost after breastfeeding. A lift raises and reshapes, implants restore fullness, and the two can be combined when needed.
Liposuction
Contours stubborn areas such as the waist, flanks, back and thighs that don't respond to diet and exercise, refining your overall silhouette.
Tailored additions
Depending on your needs, your plan may also include procedures such as labiaplasty or fat transfer. Everything is discussed openly during your consultation.

What patients say
Real reviews from Dr. Cüce's patients
★★★★★ 5.0 on Google · 129 reviews
“I did a mommy makeover in November 2024… Dr Bukem is so skilled and keeps it real with her patients. A huge plus is that she herself is a woman and can relate to many things. After the surgery, she took her time to explain and answer my million questions… She kept me in the clinic until she was 210% sure that I was ok.”
Eva · Mommy makeover
“After losing weight following two C-sections, I developed sagging skin above the incisions on my abdomen. No matter how much exercise I did, I couldn't get rid of it… I had the surgery and I'm so pleased... I've regained my self-confidence and sense of belonging to my body.”
Mira A. · Tummy tuck (translated from Turkish)
“I underwent an extended abdominoplasty, liposuction, and breast lift, and I am already so happy with the result. Everything looks beautiful and natural… The nurses were sweet, helpful, and always available whenever I needed something. I never felt alone during my recovery.”
Google reviewer · Tummy tuck, liposuction & breast lift (translated from Dutch)
Frequently asked questions
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most patients stay around 7 to 10 days, depending on the procedures combined. Your coordinator will confirm the exact length of stay in your treatment plan.
What is the recovery like?
Most patients return to light daily activities within 2 weeks and desk work within 2 to 3 weeks. Heavy lifting and exercise are usually avoided for about 6 weeks. You'll receive a personal recovery guide.
Is it safe to combine procedures in one surgery?
For suitable, healthy candidates, combining procedures means one anaesthesia and one recovery. Dr. Cüce only recommends a combination after assessing your health and the total surgery time.
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
The price depends on which procedures your plan includes. After your online consultation you'll receive a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are placed where they are easiest to hide, such as below the bikini line and in the breast crease. Scars fade significantly over 12 to 18 months.
Can I have more children afterwards?
It's possible, but a future pregnancy can affect your results, especially for the abdomen. That's why it's best to have the surgery once your family is complete.
