What is a Mummy Makeover?
The ‘mummy makeover’ is a combination of procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast uplift and liposuction, that are specifically designed to restore your figure back to how you were before having children.
No matter how well you look after yourself and keep fit, having children takes it’s toll on your body, particularly on your tummy and breasts. The stretching of the stomach muscles and skin, breasts, thighs, and other areas during pregnancy can lead to loose and sagging skin, stretch marks, and excess fat deposits.
Changes to your body after pregnancy and breastfeeding may include:
- Sagging, deflated breasts
- Wobbly tummy
- Folds of loose abdominal skin
- Stretch marks
- Separation of the six-pack muscles (rectus divarication)
- Ugly C-section scar
- Stubborn bulges You may feel self-conscious or unhappy about the effects that pregnancy and breastfeeding has had on your body
Women choose to have a ‘mummy makeover’ to lift, firm and tone the body and restore their pre-pregnancy shape. Even more, itǯs an opportunity to transform you body and give you the shape you’ve always longed for. For many mums, the results are so much more than physical – they inspire confidence and change women’s lives.
Each woman’s body responds differently to pregnancy, so a Mummy Makeover isn’t a fixed set of procedures, rather an individually tailored treatment plan. I can advise you what would suit you best. This usually includes a combination of tummy tuck (to remove excess loose skin, repair muscles and tighten and firm the abdominal area) and breast uplift surgery (sometimes with enlargement or reduction). In some cases thigh lift, arm lift and liposuction are also used for further improvement of your body contours. All procedures are performed in one operation.

- The improvements are permanent and long lasting, except for the slow gradual loss of tissues firmness that happens to us all we get older.
