Mommy Makeover

What is a Mummy Makeover?

A Mummy Makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures that can help restore your post-pregnancy body. There is no typical combination of procedures as these are generally tailored to your individual needs. These procedures may include a combination of a Tummy Tuck and Breast Surgery sometimes with vaginal rejuvenation or other surgeries.
Sometimes all the exercise in the world cannot help a body that has been stretched or is suffering torn abdominal muscles due to pregnancy.

Although, mothers have simply lived with the post-pregnancy changes to their bodies in the past that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. Thanks to modern plastic surgery procedures many women have the chance to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. These advances include smoothing contours, improving ptosis (drooping or sagging), as well as repairing damage such as abdominal hernias and diastasis recti.

The makeover combines plastic surgery procedures that address issues including:

Restoring breast shape
Correcting sagging breasts. Also known as breast ptosis
Addressing nipple size or shape
Correct sagging stomach skin and stubborn abdominal fat
Repair abdominal muscle issues
Address issues with urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, or laxity

Most Common Mummy Makeover Combined Procedures

The most commonly combined procedures are breast and tummy tuck surgery. However, there are a number of surgeries that can be combined to create the preferred outcome.

Below is a list of Surgeries that can, in short, be combined for a mummy makeover procedure:

Breast Surgery
- Breast Augmentation or a boob job.
- Reducing the size of your breasts.
- Commonly called a Boob lift with or without implants.
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Vaginal tightening.
Body contouring liposuction/liposculpture.
Arm lift (Brachioplasty).

About The Range of Mummy Makeover Procedures

A mummy makeover procedure is complicated and can consist of a series of highly complex procedures.

Furthermore, a mummy makeover may need to be performed over several procedures, depending on the outcome. This is something that needs to be discussed with your surgeon during your consult.

When Should I Consider a Mummy Makeover?

If you have finished having children and are concerned about your post-pregnancy body, then a mummy makeover procedure might be a good option for you. Furthermore, Mummy Makeovers are generally suitable for mothers of all ages. However, you should consult your plastic surgeon for more information.

Post-pregnancy body concerns can include:

Lower back issues since giving birth.
Suffering from abdominal issues including diastasis recti.
Abdominal sagging and fat deposits that are not improved with exercise or diet.
Breasts that have become large, heavy and/or ptotic (sagging).
Or, breasts that have lost volume after breastfeeding.
Flabby upper arms that do not improve with exercise.
And, Vaginal laxity or dryness.

How can you minimise Breast and Body Scars?

All surgery leaves scarring. And, a mummy makeover procedure is no different. However, the level and location of your scarring will depend on the procedures undertaken. Of course, experienced surgeons like Gold Clinic Turkey are extremely careful about scar placement and minimisation, with surgical scars generally fading over time.

Does a Mummy Makeover affect Breastfeeding or Future Pregnancy?

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can drastically change your body. As a result, it is recommended that you wait until after you have finished having children before pursuing a mummy makeover.

However, if you wish to pursue a mummy makeover with breast augmentation and are considering breastfeeding in the future, it is important to remember that many women are unable to breastfeed, regardless of whether they have undergone a breast augmentation procedure or not.

Nevertheless, it’s important to note that breast augmentation may affect your ability to breastfeed. Especially if you decide to have an incision around the nipple.
