After giving birth and completing your family, it is entirely normal to want to get back your pre-pregnancy body as quickly as possible. While your body has achieved an incredible task in bearing and delivering children, it can be frustrating to be left with a body which simply won’t return to its pre-baby shape, no matter how hard you try with diet and exercise.
That’s why the mummy makeover – or mommy makeover as the Americans call it – is becoming an increasingly popular solution.
What is a mummy makeover?
A mummy makeover is a series of procedures which target the areas which are usually most problematic to new mums – the tummy and breasts. The idea behind the mummy makeover is that it enables you to target both areas in one go, so you can get back to your pre-baby shape more quickly.
What is included in a mummy makeover?
A mummy makeover will usually include a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, to remove excess skin that becomes loose as a result of stretching during pregnancy. Usually a mummy makeover will also involve breast surgery, occasionally a breast reduction but most often breast implants (breast augmentation) and/or a breast lift treatment to help give a fuller and more pert appearance to the breasts.
What are the benefits of a mummy makeover?
- All-in-one solution
This type of surgery enables you to get the look you want in one surgery solution where multiple procedures are covered. With all aspects considered, you do not have to compromise by only focusing on one area which you feel is problematic.
- Get the results you want
With multiple procedures, you can make sure to get the look you want to achieve and find the shape and appearance that is right for you. Some women may choose to include breast implants while others may consider a breast lift sufficient. With a mummy makeover, you decide the extent of your treatment in close collaboration with your surgeon.
Aspects to consider
Please note that it is wise to wait until several months after your last pregnancy before proceeding with the surgery so you have time to assess your shape fully and what level of surgery is right for you.

The next step is to book a thorough consultation at Manchester Plastic Surgery so that you can find out exactly what is involved and whether it is the right treatment for you. While many women opt for a mummy makeover, your surgery needs to be completely focused on your specific needs, health and wellbeing.
