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.
