Mummy Makeover Patient Stories from UK Women in Antalya
Choosing to have a Mummy Makeover is a personal decision, and for UK patients considering surgery abroad, real patient experiences can provide useful context beyond information about procedures alone.
This page shares the experiences of UK women who travelled to Antalya for treatment with Clinic Phaselis, including the procedures they underwent, their recovery experience and their own reflections on the results.
Below, you can read the Mummy Makeover patient stories of Colette, Christine and Nathalie, with links to their individual journeys and before-and-after results.
Colette’s Story – Full Mummy Makeover with Tummy Tuck, Liposuction and Breast Uplift
Colette travelled from the UK with the goal of regaining her figure and confidence after pregnancy.
“I came over to Clinic Phaselis for a tummy tuck, liposuction, a breast uplift and muscle repair. From start to finish everything has been perfect — the staff were amazing, the service was fantastic, and I felt supported every step of the way. My results are exactly what I hoped for and more. I’m so happy with my transformation, I give the clinic 5 stars, and I already know I’ll be coming back for more treatments.”
Colette’s treatment combined a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast uplift and muscle repair within an individually planned surgical approach. Her story also highlights the importance she placed on support throughout the treatment and recovery process.
Christine’s Story – From Mummy Makeover to Liposuction Follow-Up
Christine, 41 from Scotland, wanted a transformation after years of feeling uncomfortable with her body.
“After years of feeling unhappy with my post-pregnancy body, I finally decided to take the step. I chose Antalya for my Mummy Makeover because I wanted expert care but also a supportive environment to recover in. At Clinic Phaselis, Dr. Gökhan Bacak performed my surgery and the staff were amazing, supporting me throughout the whole journey. I was so pleased with the results that I returned the following year for liposuction. Today, I feel truly confident and beautiful again.”

Christine later returned to Clinic Phaselis for liposuction. Her experience provides an additional perspective on both the initial Mummy Makeover journey and her continued relationship with the clinic.
Nathalie’s Story – Mummy Makeover with Tummy Tuck
Nathalie is a mother of three and, like many women, found that pregnancy had left lasting changes in her body.
“I had three children, so you can imagine — having the ‘mum tum’ was not great. Having surgery was something that definitely improved my life. I met Dr. Gökhan Bacak, and he was amazing — really professional, really friendly — and all the staff were absolutely fantastic. I’m super happy with what I’ve done and the results I achieved. Thank you to Clinic Phaselis and all of the team.”
Nathalie’s experience provides another perspective on post-pregnancy surgery, particularly the abdominal changes that can remain after multiple pregnancies and her personal experience following treatment.
What These Mummy Makeover Patient Stories Highlight
Although every surgical journey is different, these patient stories highlight several aspects that UK patients may want to consider when researching treatment abroad:
- the procedures included in an individual treatment plan
- communication with the surgical and patient support teams
- the experience of recovering away from home
- follow-up and support during recovery
Patient experiences can provide useful context, but they should not be used to predict an individual’s surgical result. Outcomes and recovery vary between patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I learn from Mummy Makeover patient stories?
Mummy Makeover patient stories can provide insight into the consultation, treatment and recovery experience from the perspective of women who have undergone surgery. However, individual results and recovery experiences vary.
Why should I look at patient experiences when choosing a clinic?
Patient experiences can provide additional context about communication, support and the overall treatment journey. They should be considered alongside surgeon experience, hospital standards, medical suitability and realistic expectations.
Are Mummy Makeover results the same for every patient?
No. Results vary according to factors such as anatomy, skin quality, abdominal muscle separation, procedures performed and individual healing. You can see more examples in our guide to realistic Mummy Makeover results.
What should UK patients consider before travelling to Antalya for a Mummy Makeover?
Patients should consider their medical suitability, surgeon and hospital standards, travel arrangements, the length of stay required after surgery and how follow-up will be managed after returning to the UK.
What happens after I return to the UK?
Follow-up arrangements should be discussed before surgery. Patients should understand how they can contact the medical team after returning home and what to do if they develop concerns during recovery.
Considering Your Own Mummy Makeover?
Real patient stories can help you understand other women’s experiences, but they cannot determine what treatment or result would be appropriate for you.
A medical consultation allows your health, anatomy, goals and expectations to be assessed individually before a surgical plan is recommended.
