Mummy Makeover in Turkey — One Trip, One Recovery
Abdominoplasty with a breast lift or augmentation, usually with circumferential liposuction. Combining them safely in one planned session is what makes the cost and the recovery work.
Post-pregnancy change affects the abdominal wall and the breast together, and treating them separately means two trips, two anaesthetics and two recoveries.
A Mummy Makeover is only combined where your health assessment, operating time and safety limits allow it — that judgement is made by the surgeon, not by a package price.
What decides the price of your mummy makeover
The technique your anatomy needs
Which procedures are combined — full abdominoplasty, muscle repair, breast lift, augmentation, liposuction — determines total theatre time and therefore the quote.
Time in theatre and length of anaesthesia
Theatre and anaesthesia are charged by time. A single-stage operation costs less than a combined plan that treats several areas in one session.
Combined procedures
Combining procedures in one anaesthetic is usually less expensive in total than travelling twice, and it shortens overall recovery.
Hospital grade and length of stay
Operating in an internationally accredited hospital with full intensive-care backup costs more than a day-surgery clinic — and it is the reason the safety record holds.
Revision or secondary surgery
Correcting previous surgery takes longer, needs more planning and sometimes extra grafting, so a secondary case is quoted above a primary one.

Booking abdominoplasty and breast surgery privately in the UK or US as two operations means two hospital admissions and two recoveries. Combining them in Istanbul is the single biggest cost and time saving available to post-pregnancy patients.
Safely staged, single anaesthetic
Total operating time is capped for safety, with thromboprophylaxis, warming and monitoring protocols throughout. Where a plan would exceed safe limits it is staged rather than compressed.
Mummy Makeover in Turkey — your questions
How long is the stay for a Mummy Makeover?
Usually 8–10 nights, allowing for two hospital nights, drain removal and staged recovery checks.
How long should I wait after giving birth or breastfeeding?
Generally at least six months after finishing breastfeeding, and once your weight has been stable for several months.
Why is surgery in Istanbul less expensive than in the UK or US?
The difference is the cost base — staff salaries, hospital overheads and insurance premiums in Turkey are far lower than in London or New York. It is not a difference in implant brands, hospital accreditation or the surgeon's training, all of which are international standard here.
How do I get an actual price for my case?
Send your photos and goals through the consultation form. After a private video call with Prof. Dr. Karaaltın you receive a written surgical plan for your mummy makeover and an all-inclusive quote — no call-centre estimates before the surgeon has seen your case.
Is the price fixed once it is quoted?
Yes. The quote covers the plan you approve. If nothing changes in your plan, the price you are given before you travel is the price you pay.
What if I need a revision later?
Revision policy is discussed and written down before you travel, so you know exactly what is covered and what would be chargeable.

Travelling from the UK, Ireland or the United States
Most mummy makeover patients fly in from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Dublin, New York, Los Angeles and Miami. Istanbul is roughly a four-hour flight from the UK and Ireland and is served by direct flights from major US hubs. Consultations happen by video before you book anything, and the clinic sits in Şişli, ten minutes from Nişantaşı hotels.
