Pregnancy and motherhood can be life’s greatest joys — but they often leave lasting changes to the body that exercise and diet alone cannot reverse. For many UK women, a Mummy Makeover offers the chance to restore both shape and confidence.
Antalya has become a leading destination for this surgery, drawing patients from across the UK. But what does a Mummy Makeover really involve, and how do you choose a safe path abroad? This guide answers the most common questions UK patients ask before making their decision.
What is a Mummy Makeover?
A Mummy Makeover is not a single procedure, but a customised plan designed to address the most common post-pregnancy changes. It typically includes:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): to tighten muscles and remove excess skin.
- Breast surgery: lift, augmentation, or reduction depending on goals.
- Liposuction: to contour stubborn fat around the waist, hips, or thighs.
- Optional procedures: labiaplasty, fat transfer, or skin tightening if needed.
The result is a balanced, natural restoration tailored to each woman’s body and expectations.
Why Antalya?
Antalya is now one of Europe’s most popular hubs for cosmetic surgery because it offers:
- Experienced surgeons with international training.
- Board Certified Surgeons with At Least 10 years of Experience
- Accredited hospitals with high standards.
- Shorter waiting times compared to the UK.
- Cost savings, often 40–60% less than UK prices.
- The chance to recover in a calm Mediterranean setting.
