Mummy makeover surgery after pregnancy

Many women find their post-pregnancy body challenging to accept. The skin on the abdomen may appear lax after pregnancy as the skin, muscles and deep fascia have been stretched and weakened. 

Breasts can lose volume by as much as a couple of cup sizes, and their shape may become flatter. The changes to your breasts and stomach area can make you feel that your femininity and attractiveness have been compromised. 

The mummy makeover can restore your pre-pregnancy and pre-baby body. You will be your glamorous self again, wearing the stylish clothes you used to wear before pregnancy.

What is a mummy makeover procedure?

The mummy makeover may combine tummy tuck, liposuction and breast surgery during the same surgery.

A common result of pregnancy is a bulging between the abdomen muscles. Where the bulging is severe your surgeon may check for a hernia before undertaking the mummy makeover. Otherwise, a muscle divarication repair will be carried out as part of the procedure to restore your flat, smooth stomach area.

The shape of the breasts is improved during the procedure. Your surgeon can do a mastopexy which involves tightening the skin and remodelling the breast tissue. Many patients also choose to have an implant to give the breast more fullness and a rounded shape.

Your surgeon will discuss all these options with you.

Frequently asked questions

If you are unhappy about your post-baby body, you can make an appointment with one of our surgeons for a consultation. Your surgeon will listen to your concerns and what you would like to achieve from surgery and advise you on the best surgical solution for you. The different options and recovery periods will be explained to you in detail. You will have two consultations and plenty of time to consider your options. Once you are entirely confident about your surgery, we will schedule your operation.

The first stage of your journey with us will be a lengthy consultation during which your surgeon will discuss the different types of surgery available.

After a thorough assessment, your surgeon will suggest the best option for you and explain what you should expect during surgery and recovery.  

A further consultation will allow you to ask any questions, and once you are completely confident, we will schedule your surgery.

Our highly skilled surgeons produce excellent results for our patients.

We believe that a clear understanding of what surgery can achieve is key to patient satisfaction. Your detailed discussions with your surgeon will ensure you know exactly what to expect from the surgery and your recovery period.

 

Most patients no longer need medication after a week. It is important to rest after surgery, and it is a good idea for you to take between four and six weeks off work. You should be able to stand upright in two to four weeks. It is best to avoid light activities, even hoovering, dog walking, and driving, for four to six weeks. The healing process varies according to the individual. Your surgeon will advise you when you have healed sufficiently to gradually become active again, particularly if you intend to engage in strenuous exercise.

The surgery scars will have faded considerably after a year.

 

Elena does not operate on patients that regularly smoke or vape. To be considered for this procedure you must refrain from smoking or vaping for 3 months before and after your surgery.
