Motherhood is a beautiful thing, but it can be challenging to accept the changes that occur in a woman’s body during pregnancy and childbirth.

Many women find that their postpartum body shape is significantly different from their pre-pregnancy body shape despite regular exercise and a healthy diet.

Mummy makeover surgery offers a way to regain your former body and your self-confidence.

You can design your own mummy makeover procedure by choosing from a suite of cosmetic surgery procedures that address the areas of the body affected most by carrying a baby and giving birth.

How does the body change with pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Many women notice that the size and shape of their breasts change, particularly if they have had an extended period of breastfeeding. You may find that your breasts lose volume while other women have an unwelcome increase in cup size.

It is not unusual for women to gain up to12.5 kg during pregnancy, and it can be tough to lose this weight. Stubborn fat often lingers on the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, and elsewhere on the body.

In addition, the extra weight stretches the skin, leaving many new mothers with excess skin and stretch marks on their abdomens.

What is included in a mummy makeover?

Mummy makeover surgery can include a variety of procedures, including the following:

Breast surgery

Breast rejuvenation surgery is the most popular surgical procedure after childbearing.

Depending on the way that your breasts have been affected by the process, you may consider breast augmentation with breast implants, breast uplift, or breast reduction surgery.

Tummy tuck

Loose skin on the abdomen and over stretched abdominal muscles are problems for many new mothers, as the abdomen has to expand quickly to accommodate the growing baby.

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a relatively simple procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the muscles to create a tauter and smoother abdominal area.

Mini tummy tuck

The mini tummy tuck is a shorter procedure than a full tummy tuck. It focuses on removing the loose skin and muscle that often develops in the upper pubic area after a C-section.

Brachioplasty

Some women are prone to developing stubborn excess fat deposits on the upper arms, which persist even after they lose weight elsewhere.

Diet and exercise may not be enough to recontour your arms, but our aesthetic surgeons can do so with an upper arm lift or brachioplasty.

Liposuction

Pregnancy can leave excess fat on any area of the body, which may increase with each subsequent pregnancy.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat deposits and restore a sleek profile to the body.

Mummy makeover FAQs

How long does a mummy makeover last?

Mummy makeover surgery is permanent as long as you avoid weight gain by following a healthy lifestyle.

However, you may find that your body changes over time, with many women noticing changes in their breasts and body shape after menopause. If this happens, other cosmetic surgery procedures can boost your self-esteem again.

What is the best age for a mummy makeover?

There isn’t a best age for mummy makeover surgery, but the best time is when you have finished your family. If you have another child after your surgery, you may have the same issues again and need to have more surgery.
We advise women to wait until they have finished breastfeeding and have fully recovered postpartum before considering any plastic surgery procedures.

How much does a mummy makeover cost?

An indicative cost for your mummy makeover surgery can only be given once you have decided which procedures you want.
As with all major surgical procedures, a member of our surgical team will discuss your options with you and check your general health.
