What is Postpartum Cosmetic Surgery?
Postpartum aesthetics refers to all surgical or non-surgical cosmetic procedures that women undergo to correct deformations such as sagging and stretch marks caused by weight gain during pregnancy and childbirth.
Many women may be dissatisfied with the changes in their bodies caused by pregnancy and childbirth in the postpartum period. In this case, various aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures can help women alleviate specific discomforts arising from these changes. Here are some procedures included in postpartum aesthetics:
- Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Sagging and looseness can occur in the abdominal area. A tummy tuck tightens the abdominal wall and removes excess skin. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with liposuction to achieve a flatter abdomen.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy) and/or Breast Augmentation (Mamoplasty): Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause volume loss and sagging in the breast tissue. A breast lift lifts the breasts to a higher, more youthful position, while a breast augmentation gives the breasts a fuller appearance. These two procedures can be performed together or separately, depending on the desired outcome.
- Liposuction: Pregnancy can cause fat accumulation in certain areas. Liposuction surgery can remove these fat deposits. This procedure is commonly performed on the abdomen, hips, thighs, and waist.
- Genital Aesthetics – Vaginal Rejuvenation: After childbirth, some women experience widening or laxity in the vaginal area. Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can improve firmness and function in this area.
- Facial Aesthetics: Hormonal changes and lack of sleep can cause changes in the skin. Various facial aesthetic procedures, skincare treatments, injections, and surgeries can support rejuvenation and revitalization.
These procedures are often grouped under the name “mommy makeover” and can be performed simultaneously or separately. However, such procedures carry risks and side effects and should be carefully planned with a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist. Individual health status, lifestyle, and expectations should be considered, and each procedure should be thoroughly understood.

It is illegal for hospitals, aesthetic treatment clinics, and centers approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health to list prices for aesthetic treatments that mothers may need after childbirth on their websites, and establishments that do not comply with this rule are subject to penalties. Furthermore, in order for Professor Dr. Şükrü Yazar, a specialist in Aesthetic, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery, to accurately determine prices for postpartum aesthetic treatments, he must examine the mother, identify all deformities in her body after childbirth, and decide on the appropriate aesthetic procedures together with the patient.
