What is a Mummy Makeover?

We know how pregnancy, childbirth and breast feeding can have a major effect on women’s bodies predominantly in the breasts and tummy area. If your body has altered shape and you no longer feel happy about the way you look, you may decide that mummy makeover surgery is the answer.

A Mummy Makeover involves a combination of certain procedures such as breast surgery, tummy tuck, liposuction and labiaplasty to target multiple areas of the body. It gets its name because its objective is to restore or rejuvenate the appearance of a pre-pregnancy body shape and look.

 

Feeling good about your appearance is vital part of self-confidence, but making the decision to have a procedure should not be taken lightly. We’re here to provide you with all the information you need to decide what’s best for you.

Benefits of mummy makeover surgery

  • Multiple procedures in one - Combining procedures can minimise the number of hospital visits an overall recovery time. This is not always possible depending upon the procedure mix.

  • Results all at once - the transformation results can often be lifechanging allowing women to embrace their bodies with renewed confidence.

  • Restore pre pregnancy confidence - restoring your pre-baby body can help many regain lost confidence. Finally feeling comfortable in your own skin and getting back to doing the things you used to love - enjoying life and your family.

How much does a mummy makeover cost?

As mummy makeover surgery combines multiple procedures, it's hard to provide a cost without knowing what patients want to achieve. Click here to learn more about the individual procedure costs.

Mummy makeover procedure overview

The exact process of a mummy makeover will depend on the specific combination of procedures you’ve selected. General anaesthesia is given beforehand, meaning that you’ll remain unconscious throughout the procedures.

Surgical procedures common in mummy makeover surgery can include:

Breast augmentation

A breast enhancement procedure isn't a one-size-fits-all surgery. It comes in many different shapes and sizes and the chosen procedure depends on the best outcome for the patient, as well as the look they want to achieve. A breast uplift is the most common choice. This includes removing excess skin and fat removal to create a youthful and uplifted look. This can then be combined with breast enlargement, which is when breast implants are used to create a fuller (and often larger) appearance. If necessary, the nipple will be repositioned to ensure the final result is in line with the patient's proportions.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is what most people think of when they think of a mummy makeover. It involves making an incision across the abdomen and removing excess skin and fat before tightening and realigning the abdominal muscles.

Liposuction

Liposuction, often integrated into a mummy makeover, begins with small incisions in the targeted areas. A cannula is used to remove excess fat through a combination of motion and suction.

Labiaplasty

When labiaplasty is part of the mummy makeover, your surgeon makes incisions in the labia to adjust the length and contour of the labia minora.

Is a mummy makeover right for me?

The appropriateness of a mummy makeover depends on whether you have multiple areas of concern that you’d like to address.

Given that this procedure involves the concurrent performance of multiple surgeries, it‘s important that you’re in good physical health and can allocate time off work and childcare to facilitate effective recovery.

Additionally, it may be advisable to consider a mummy makeover post-childbearing, as pregnancy can impact the outcomes of the procedure.

How soon after child birth can I have a mummy makeover?

You can be consulted for a mummy makeover, 6 months following childbirth or finishing breast feeding if applicable. The reason for this is we want to ensure you and your body are fully recovered postpartum.

We understand you may be keen to get back to your pre baby body, and in some cases feel pressured to do so, but please be reassured this is for your benefit and ultimately ensure you get the best possible result.

Mummy makeover recovery

Recovery timelines can vary and will depend on the specific procedures encompassed within your mummy makeover.

As a general guideline, a minimum of 2 weeks of leave from work is recommended, although this might be more if your job is particularly physical.

Vigorous activities, exercise, and heavy lifting should be avoided for a minimum of 6 weeks.

In cases involving breast procedures, tummy tucks, and liposuction, you’ll be advised to wear compression garments to help you get optimum results. Your surgeon will advise you on how long you should wear the garment(s).
