NBPH-Treatment-Mummy-Makeover

Some of the changes to the body that women experience through motherhood are loss of shape and volume to the breasts and weakened tissue in the tummy area.

You may be self-conscious about these changes, which can affect your enjoyment of life and relationships. Our skilled surgeons at North Bristol Private Hospital can restore your figure and self-confidence.

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.

Why choose North Bristol Private Hospital for your mummy makeover surgery?

We offer world-class surgery to patients in Bristol and the South West. Our surgical teams possess unrivalled skills and experience. We work in state-of-the-art consultation and surgical facilities. 

You won’t need to wait months for a consultation as we see all our patients within eight weeks of your first contact with us. We know that surgery can be daunting, but we also believe that by developing a supportive relationship with you, we can make you feel more confident and reduce any anxiety you may have.

The facility’s unique design allows for only three bespoke overnight stay rooms, so you are guaranteed privacy and individual care when you recover after your surgery. After surgery, you will be cared for by your own dedicated nurse in our comfortable in-patient ward. Our excellent aftercare and calm, safe surroundings makes for quicker healing. 

We can accommodate any requirements that you may have regarding security and religious or cultural practices. For example, we can provide an all-female surgical and nursing team if this would make you more comfortable. You can also make arrangements to book the whole facility to ensure complete privacy.

If your relatives or friends accompany you, they will be able to find high-quality overnight accommodation nearby.

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.

Amazing experience at North Bristol Private Hospital.

Had surgery 2 weeks ago with Elena and I am already pleased with the results so far.

After much research I am so glad I chose this hospital and the talented Elena for my surgery. Elena and her team are extremely dedicated to giving you the best experience and results.
Many thanks to Elena and her team

After wanting a breast uplift for many years, I opted to have this done with Elena at The North Bristol Private Hospital. Every Google search and surgeon search just kept bringing me back to her. I am 2 weeks in from having a breast asymmetry correction with uplift and a bilateral arm lift and Elena and the team are absolutely amazing and the hospital is spotless. They made me feel at ease right from the start and didn’t judge me or try to push me in anyway at all. I’ve seen reviews of some surgeons being mean to their clients and making them feel worthless this is not the case here they are all lovely. I am delighted so far with the results and I know they are only going to get better as I am still swollen. She truly is absolutely amazing and Lynn is amazing too she is hilarious. I would highly recommend Elena and if I can afford to will be back for more work.

I contacted EP’s clinic at a time of great vulnerability having been through the Fastrack system at NBT Breast Care. I was in considerable discomfort and feeling uncomfortable and unwell.
From the first phone call with Lynn explaining all my treatment to date I was met with kindness, compassion and efficiency. I had an appointment within a week. I felt so comfortable with my decision. I felt that I had hope in my treatment.
From the first consultation to my current stage 3 weeks post treatment I have nothing but positive feedback about Elena. Her calm patient and focused approach with her own gentle manner is just outstanding.
Elena has created a clinical environment where each and every person who is part of her team treats you with respect and understanding. Holistically she treats everyone as an individual and she and her team can not do enough to make you feel comfortable and confident about your health journey pre and post surgery.
The nursing and anaesthetic teams level of care is superb in theatre and Rose who looked after me overnight was excellent.
I would not hesitate in recommending Elena and her wonderful team at NBH . The attention to detail in quality care is outstanding. Thank you so very much.

My experience with Elena and her team has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you arrive for your consultation, all the way through your post op appointments, you are treated with kindness, care, and respect. It's amazing that she has been able to gather some of the most caring, and expert medical professionals all in one place. Beyond being happy with the results of my procedure I still marvel at the expertise of the people that took care of me. Shout out to Lynn, Kelly and Zillah, for being so incredibly communicative from the start. Justin, Filip and the anesthesiologist that took care of me during surgery, and Nurse Rekha who cared for me so expertly after my surgery. I am so grateful to everyone!

I have had an absolutely amazing experience with Elena and her whole team at North Bristol Private Hospital. It has been nearly 3 weeks since I had a full tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks.

From my initial consultation through to my 2nd post op check I have received the best care and attention from Lynn on reception, Sam the patient coordinator, theatre staff and aftercare nurses in particular Rose who was so kind and gentle with me on my overnight stay.

Elena is an outstanding surgeon her skills are second to none. She leads with excellent professionalism from the consultation process where she explains everything with you an ensures you are fully aware of each step of the process and that you are happy. Then right through the aftercare process to ensure you achieve the best results possible by following her clear instructions.

I am so happy with my results so far Elena has done such an amazing job my incisions are healing well and are so neat and fine. Can't wait to heal fully and see the final results.

I can't thank Elena and her whole team enough they are the best!

I had my surgery in May 2024 after years of deliberation. Elena and the team were incredible, informative, welcoming and friendly from consultation through to the post op checks. Rose, Rekha and Sam have all been incredible, making me feel comfortable and cared for at all times. No question was too much and all my post op queries have been answered so quickly. Meeting the theatre team pre op made a huge positive difference and calmed any nerves I had.
The hospital itself is clean and quiet, I had such a positive experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.
