Mommy Makeover Surgery

Mommy makeover (MMO) typically combines procedures to rejuvenate the tummy, breasts, and body contours. Common treatments include:

• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes loose skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer stomach.

• Breast Augmentation: Restores volume and shape lost after breastfeeding using silicone implants.

• Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Elevates and reshapes sagging breasts to a more youthful position, with or without implants.

• Liposuction: Removes stubborn fat deposits to refine body contours and improve overall symmetry.

• Labiaplasty: to reshape or reduce the size of the labia, the folds of skin around the vaginal opening.

Each plan is unique — some patients choose all procedures together for one recovery period, while others prefer a staged approach.

Reclaim Your Confidence After Pregnancy

Pregnancy and motherhood are life-changing experiences, but they can also leave lasting changes to your body that diet and exercise alone cannot always reverse. A mommy makeover is a tailored combination of cosmetic surgery procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy shape, boost confidence, and help you feel more like yourself again.

We provide personalised mommy makeover surgery in the UK, performed in an accredited private hospital. Each treatment plan is carefully designed around your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate for a mommy makeover if you:

• Have finished having children and are close to your ideal weight.

• Experience loose abdominal skin, muscle separation, or breast sagging after pregnancy.

• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations.

• Prefer a single recovery period for multiple procedures.

It’s usually best to complete your family before surgery, as future pregnancies may reverse your results.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, you’ll meet directly with your surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and surgical options. We’ll create a personalised treatment plan that prioritises both your desired aesthetic outcome and your safety.

Your surgeon will also discuss the recovery process, expected results, and pre-operative preparation — including lifestyle and nutritional advice to support healing.

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover offers both physical and emotional benefits, including:

• A flatter, more toned abdomen.

• Lifted and youthful breasts.

• Improved body contours and confidence.

• A more balanced and natural silhouette.

• Single recovery period instead of multiple surgeries.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery time varies depending on the extent of your procedure. Most patients:

• Stay in hospital for 1–2 nights.

• Take 2–3 weeks off work, depending on job type.

• Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 6–8 weeks.

• See final results within 3–6 months.

You’ll be provided with a detailed aftercare plan, compression garments, and medication to support healing and comfort. Our team is available throughout your recovery to ensure you’re fully supported.

Risks and Considerations

As with all surgical procedures, there are potential risks, including swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, and scarring. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, contour irregularities, or anaesthetic reactions. Your surgeon will discuss all possible risks and how to minimise them during your consultation.

Mommy makeover FAQs by Plastic Surgeon Žygimantas Mačys

01 | What is included in a Mummy Makeover?

A mummy makeover typically combines a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction. The procedures are tailored to each woman’s goals — helping to restore body shape, firmness, and contour after pregnancy.

02 | When can I have a Mummy Makeover after childbirth?

You should wait at least 6–12 months after giving birth, allowing time for your body and hormones to stabilise. If you’re breastfeeding, it’s best to wait at least six months (best would be 1 year) after finishing.

03 | Can I have a tummy tuck after a C-section?

Yes, you can. However, it’s recommended to wait until your C-section scar has healed completely and swelling has subsided. This usually takes 6–12 months.

04 | Is it safe to have all procedures at once?

Yes, combining procedures under one general anaesthetic is safe when performed by an experienced surgeon in an accredited facility. This approach can also reduce overall recovery time and cost.

05 | Am I a good candidate for a Mummy Makeover?

You’re a good candidate if you are in good health, have finished having children, and want to restore your post-pregnancy body. Your surgeon will assess your goals, medical history, and anatomy to determine suitability.

06 | Long-Term Considerations about breast reduction?

Long-term considerations after breast reduction include potential changes in breast shape due to aging and weight fluctuations, with continued high satisfaction and improved quality of life for most patients. While scarring may remain visible and nipple sensation could be permanently altered, the benefits typically outweigh these considerations, with many women experiencing significant relief from physical discomfort and enhanced body confidence for years after the procedure.

07 | Will I be able to breastfeed after a Mummy Makeover?

If your surgery includes breast augmentation, you should still be able to breastfeed. However, a breast lift (mastopexy) may affect milk ducts, so it’s best to complete family planning before surgery. But we wouldn't recommend having more children after MMO because the final results might be negatively altered.

08 | How long is the recovery after a Mummy Makeover?

Most patients return to light activities after 2–3 weeks and to full activity, including exercise, after 6–8 weeks. Final results are usually visible within 3–6 months.

09 | Do I need to lose weight before surgery?

Yes, it’s best to be close to your ideal body weight before surgery. The mummy makeover is not a weight-loss procedure — it’s designed to reshape and tighten areas affected by pregnancy.

10 | Are there visible scars after a Mummy Makeover?

Yes, there will be small scars from incisions, but they are strategically placed and fade significantly over time with proper care and scar treatment.

11 | Is a Mummy Makeover permanent?

The results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight changes or future pregnancies can alter your results.
