Maternity aesthetics is achieved by performing several procedures at the same time, which are presented as a package. The operations in this package can be listed as follows:

• Liposuction: It is performed by removing excess fat from the back, arms, hips and abdomen. Liposuction surgery is performed before tummy tuck.
• Abdominal stretching: Whether it was a normal or cesarean birth, if you are not genetically lucky, it is inevitable to experience abdominal cracks. With the tummy tuck procedure, excess fat and sagging skin tissue in this area are removed, resulting in a tighter skin appearance.
• Labiaplasty: After birth, the inner lips of the vulva may relax and lengthen and take on a longer appearance than the outer lips. This situation can become a challenge for the person in daily life. With the labiaplasty procedure, it is aimed to reduce the inner lips and return them to their former appearance. Within the scope of the application, the excess skin in the vulva area is removed.
