Body — Treatment
The body, after children —
yours again.
A combined operation — usually breast surgery, an abdominoplasty, and sometimes liposuction — performed in one anaesthetic, recovered as one body. For women whose shape has changed in ways that one procedure alone cannot answer.
What it is & what it isn't
A customised combination of procedures — most often a breast lift or augmentation, an abdominoplasty to repair the abdominal wall, and liposuction to refine the surrounding contours. One anaesthetic, one recovery, one carefully sequenced plan.
What it isn't
Not a snap-back. Not a weight-loss procedure. Not a substitute for the months your body needed after the children. Done at the right time, on the right patient, this is a return. Done at the wrong time, a disappointment that recovery cannot fix.

These figures are typical ranges, for planning your trip. Your own treatment and recovery timeline is assessed and decided by Dr. Meral — at consultation, and again as your healing progresses.
How it unfolds
The consultation
Which procedures, in which order, and — more often than you'd expect — which to leave for next year. Sequencing is half the surgery.
The plan
Markings done with you standing, in your preferred underwear. Blood work, anaesthetic consultation, and an honest conversation about who is at home for the first week.
The day
Usually staged in a single anaesthetic: breast surgery first, then abdomen and contour. Total time depends on which procedures you and Dr. Meral chose to combine — most often four to six hours.
The first night
Drains in, compression garment on, a slight head-up position to ease the abdomen. The first night you sleep. The second day, you walk — slowly.
Recovery
The first week is the longest week. By day three, you are sitting in a chair. By day seven, you are walking the corridor of the hotel — slowly, bent slightly, deliberately. The drains come out between day five and seven. The compression garment lives with you for six weeks. The version of you in the mirror at week one is not the version you are coming home to — that one needs three to six months to settle. Have someone with you for the first ten days. This is not the surgery to do alone.
A typical course, not a promise — healing differs from person to person. Dr. Meral reviews you at each follow-up and decides when each step is right for you.
This may be for you if
- You're done having children, or have planned the timing so this surgery isn't undone in a year
- Your weight has been stable within 5kg for at least six months
- You can take at least 10–14 days for recovery, with help at home
- You're considering this for yourself, not as a fix for a relationship
- What you see in the mirror feels like you with edits, not someone else entirely
This is not for you if
- You're planning more children within the next two years — wait, the result will be undone
- Your weight is still in motion — wait until it isn't
- You're newly postpartum and looking for a fast snap-back — your body needs its own time first
- You're returning to a home without support for the first week — this is not an outpatient procedure
- You expect to look like a person you never were — surgery returns, it doesn't invent
