I’m 38 years old from Houston, Texas, and after two pregnancies and years of putting myself last, I finally decided to do something just for me, a mommy makeover. For the longest time I looked at options here in the U.S., but the prices were so high. I almost gave up on the idea until I discovered Dr. Sibel Atalay in Turkiye, and that changed everything.
At first, I was nervous about traveling so far for surgery. I had so many questions. Would it be safe? Would I feel alone? Would the care be the same as in the U.S.? The moment I connected with Dr. Sibel, all those fears started to fade. She was patient, kind, and so reassuring. She took time to hear my story, not just what I wanted to change on the outside, but also what I was feeling on the inside as a mom who had lost some of her confidence. That meant the world to me.
When I arrived in Turkiye, I was amazed. The clinic was spotless, modern, and so welcoming. Her team treated me like family, I never once felt like a foreigner or a stranger. They guided me through every step, checked in constantly, and truly cared about how I was feeling. It wasn’t just medical care, it was compassion and warmth.
The surgery itself went beautifully. Dr. Sibel’s skill and eye for detail are truly something special. She understood the look I hoped for, and she gave me results that honestly exceeded what I thought was possible. My stomach is flat again, my breasts are lifted, and for the first time in years I look in the mirror and recognize the woman staring back at me. It’s like she gave me back not just my body, but my self-esteem and joy.
And then there was Turkiye itself, what an unexpected gift. Between follow-up visits and recovery, I got to enjoy the country. The people are incredibly hospitable, the food is delicious, and the culture is so rich and vibrant. It felt like I wasn’t just healing my body, but also refreshing my soul. In a way, it became both a transformation and a little vacation that I’ll always remember…
Most importantly, it was all so much more affordable than in the U.S. For the level of care, expertise, and the entire experience I had, I would have paid so much more back home, and yet here, it was accessible and worth every penny.
Now that I’m home, I feel different. I feel stronger, more confident, and more at peace with myself. I know so many moms struggle silently with how their bodies change after children, and I just want to say, there is hope, and there are options. If you’ve been thinking about it, I can’t recommend Dr. Sibel Atalay enough. She’s not just a surgeon, she’s someone who cares deeply about her patients, and I’ll forever be grateful to her for helping me feel like myself again.
If I could go back, I’d make the same choice in a heartbeat
