A mummy makeover can be a powerful way to feel like yourself again whether you’re healing after childbirth, major weight loss, or simply ready to restore your confidence. But if you’re looking overseas, particularly to Türkiye, it’s vital to do your research.
At Oceanscape Group, we support clients from New Zealand and Australia who want to combine travel with safe, accredited cosmetic surgery abroad. We’ve also seen the risks of choosing the wrong provider rushed consults, poor aftercare, or worse, long-term damage.
If you’re thinking about a mummy makeover in TURKEY, this guide will help you spot the red flags, ask the right questions, and avoid the rising number of cheap surgery regrets.
What’s Involved in a Mummy Makeover?
A mummy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgeries usually done in one operation. Most commonly:
Breast lift or augmentation (boob job)
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
Liposuction (abdomen, flanks, thighs)
Sometimes BBL or vaginal rejuvenation
While combining surgeries can maximise results and minimise downtime, it also increases risk. That’s why the credentials of the hospital and surgeon, pre-surgical testing, and recovery support are non-negotiable.
Medical Tourism Red Flags to Watch For
Here are a few warning signs that your clinic may be prioritising volume over safety:
One-night hospital stays after multiple surgeries
No ECG, blood work, or endoscopy before surgery
Vague or missing surgeon credentials
Pushy sales teams or unclear contracts
No complication insurance or recovery planning
No option for a video consult before you pay anything
And a big one: don’t accept a Canva-made graphic or a WhatsApp screenshot as proof of credentials. Ever heard of Canva? It’s free. Anyone can fake a “certificate.” Ask for official links. Always verify.
If you’ve seen stories on social media you’ll understand why so many regret rushing into low-cost cosmetic surgery without full visibility.
Questions You Should Be Asking Before Booking
If you’re based in New Zealand or Australia, you deserve clear answers before making a payment or jumping on a plane.
These open-ended questions are designed to help you uncover how transparent and reputable your potential provider really is.
Where can I verify the surgeon’s credentials and medical registration?
Look for links to official hospital bios, medical boards, or internationally recognised directories not just promotional material.
Is your hospital certified by Türkiye’s Ministry of Health for international medical tourism? Is it JCI-accredited?
A provider should be able to point you directly to these certifications.
How and when will I receive my personalised treatment plan?
You should receive this before paying a deposit, and it should include what’s involved, expected outcomes, risks, and timeframes.
What complication insurance do you provide, and what exactly is covered?
Ask to review the policy and understand whether it includes revisions, additional care, or return flights.
Can I book a video consultation with my surgeon before making a payment?
This is standard practice with trusted providers. If it’s not offered, ask why.
What tests or medical clearances do I need before leaving New Zealand?
You may need to complete an ECG, full blood work, and possibly an endoscopy or anaesthetic clearance before being approved for surgery.
What is the realistic recovery time, especially for someone flying back to New Zealand?You’ll need to know how long to remain in Türkiye, when you’ll be fit to fly, and what follow-up looks like once you’re home.
What does your post-operative care include?
Ask who will support you after surgery, where you’ll be staying, whether you’ll have access to nurses, and how long your care continues.
Can I speak to previous clients from New Zealand or Australia?
A provider with a proven track record will offer client references or published testimonials.
