Mummy Makeover

Pregnancy can take a toll on our bodies, affecting our breasts, tummies, legs and more. After nine months—or more, if breast feeding—you are probably longing for your pre-baby body. A mummy makeover can give you back your shape where diet and exercise have not worked.

A Mummy Makeover, addresses a woman’s post-pregnancy body issues in a single-session surgery that typically combines the following:

Tummy Tuck
Breast Surgery – Lift or Augmentation
From a cosmetic standpoint, Mommy Makeovers address pregnancy-related changes in both the breasts and the tummy. The surgery aims to take care of two of the biggest post-pregnancy complaints in one operation. The benefit of combing the operations is that it only requires one anaesthetic, one trip to hospital, one recovery period, one time away from the people you love.

Just about any woman who is in general good health and is looking to improve the tone and shape of her physique could be a good candidate for a mummy makeover. That said, there are a few additional factors that can determine whether a mummy makeover might be right for you at this stage of life.

Are you finished having children?
How long has it been since you’ve had your last child?
Are you currently breastfeeding?
What are your appearance goals?

It is best if you are finished having children and done with breastfeeding.

All surgery leaves scars. Most scars will fade in time, about 6-12 months, but the scars will be there in some form forever. Keep in mind that not everyone makes the same kinds of scars, this is largely genetic. Some people make pale, thin scars, while others tend to make thicker scars. Breast scars and tummy scars are generally excellent. We use silicone taping and laser treatments to ensure you get the best possible scars.

A mummy makeover will leave a scar on your breasts (the exact type depends on whether you need a reduction a lift or an implant) as well as a scar going from one hip to the other along your lower abdomen.

Yes, although it depends on your level of insurance cover and which combination of operations you need. We will provide you with any item numbers that apply at the time of your consultation.

Whilst all surgery carries some risk, combining a tummy tuck and breast surgery does not significantly increase your overall risk.
With modern techniques, qualified anaesthetists and accredited state of the art hospitals you will be in safe hands.

Think of the difference between doing everything at once compared to two separate operations like the difference between flying from Melbourne to Perth and flying from Melbourne to Perth with as stopover for 6 weeks in Adelaide (no offence to our South Australian friends).
