Choosing to have a Mommy Makeover is never just about surgery — it’s about regaining confidence, comfort, and a sense of self after pregnancy. While many women in the UK first look at local clinics, more are now choosing Antalya, Turkey, for their transformation.
But the best way to understand what this journey feels like is not from medical descriptions alone — it’s from real stories of UK women who decided to travel abroad, placed their trust in Clinic Phaselis, and came home with results that changed their lives.
In this article, we introduce you to three patients — Colette, Christine, and Deborah — whose experiences reveal what makes a Mommy Makeover abroad not only possible, but often the most rewarding choice.
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.”
Her words highlight what many UK patients discover: abroad, you can combine multiple procedures in one safe, carefully managed plan — with full support before, during and after surgery.
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 Mommy 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’s journey is proof of trust. The fact that she returned for a second procedure shows how patient satisfaction leads to long-term confidence in both results and care.
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.”
Her experience shows how a tummy tuck, as part of a Mommy Makeover, can dramatically improve quality of life — not just physically, but emotionally too.
