Mummy Makeover

Overview: Post Pregnancy Body Contouring and Lifting

Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding can change the abdomen, breasts and body contour. Common concerns include abdominal muscle separation, loose skin, a Caesarian section scar or ‘overhang’, stubborn fat pockets and breast deflation or droop. A Mummy Makeover is a personalised plan that addresses these changes in one stage or in a safe sequence of surgeries. At Cosmetic Surgery Partners in London, surgery is led by Mr Miles G Berry and Mr Marcus Davis who design a personalised plan that may include tummy tuck, breast uplift with or without implants, breast reduction or augmentation, and the option of body contouring with liposuction.

Why Changes Persist After Pregnancy

Skin and fascia stretch to accommodate pregnancy. Abdominal muscles separate, known as diastasis recti. Breast tissue shrinks after breastfeeding and supportive ligaments lengthen. Whilst diet and training improve strength and weight, redundant skin, separated muscles and malpositioned soft tissues usually require surgery. Plans may combine abdominoplasty, breast uplift with or without implants, breast reduction or augmentation, and targeted liposuction. Overnight care is available when appropriate, and procedures are either combined in one session or safely staged

Who Is Suitable for a Mummy Makeover

You may be suitable if you are at a maintainable weight, which has been stable for at least 6 months, and have completed breastfeeding. Good candidates are non-smokers (or able to stop), with realistic goals about scars, downtime and results. Your consultation will assess skin quality, muscle position, breast volume and nipple position. Your surgeon will advise whether to combine procedures in one date or stage them for safety. Common combinations include tummy tuck with muscle repair plus breast uplift, uplift with implant for volume, or liposuction to flanks and hips for contour balance.

Recovery: What To Expect

Recovery depends on the exact plan. After tummy tuck and breast surgery, expect swelling and tightness for 2 to 3 weeks. A compression garment and surgical bra are worn as directed. Many patients return to desk work in 2 to 3 weeks. Heavy lifting and high impact training usually require 6 weeks or more with surgeon approval. If procedures are staged, recovery is split into shorter periods. An overnight stay may be advised for comfort and observation when combining procedures
