Mommy Makeover

Overview

Mummy Makeover is the restoration of the shape and appearance of a woman’s body after childbirth. Plastic surgery and non-surgical procedures after pregnancy are geared towards the improvement of post-pregnancy changes to a woman’s body. Many mothers do not have the luxury of long recovery periods after surgery, so treatment plans are designed so that you can get back to family life and normal activities as quickly as possible.
If you have been left with sagging skin and a distorted shape where once there was shape and symmetry, then a mummy makeover can help you look and feel better about yourself and help boost your self-confidence.

Post Operative Care

The patient is put on compressive garments for a few weeks. She is advised to avoid standing/sitting for long hours and ambulate only for short periods till healing occurs.

You may return to work after 2-3 weeks and resume your usual exercise routine after six weeks. Due to the tummy tuck and the fact that you had multiple procedures done at one time, the recovery takes time.

What is Included in a Mummy Makeover?

1. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck):

  • Purpose: Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tightens the abdominal muscles, and improves the overall shape of the midsection.
  • Benefits: Restores a smoother, firmer abdominal contour.

  • Options: Includes breast augmentation (implants), breast lift, or a combination to address changes in breast volume and position caused by pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Benefits: Enhances breast shape and symmetry.
