Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to restore and enhance the body after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes. It typically includes a breast procedure (such as augmentation, lift, or reduction) combined with abdominal surgery (such as abdominoplasty) and may also involve liposuction or other complementary treatments. The goal is to help you regain firmness, contour, and confidence in your body.
A Mommy Makeover is recommended for individuals who experience changes such as breast sagging or volume loss, abdominal muscle separation, excess skin, stubborn fat deposits, or a general loss of body contour following pregnancy. It is suitable for those seeking comprehensive rejuvenation of the breasts and torso in a single, well-planned surgical approach.
There is no specific ideal age for a Mommy Makeover. The most important factors are overall health and completing childbearing, as future pregnancies may affect the surgical results. Many patients choose to undergo this procedure in their 30s, 40s, or later, depending on personal goals and timing.
The procedure is tailored to each individual and may involve one or more of the following:
– Breast augmentation, lift, or reduction to restore breast shape and position.
– Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles.
– Liposuction to refine body contour and remove stubborn fat pockets.
Incisions vary depending on the techniques chosen, and scars are positioned carefully to ensure they become as discreet as possible over time.
A Mommy Makeover is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure full comfort and safety throughout the combined procedures.
The duration depends on the number of procedures included. On average, a Mommy Makeover takes between 3 and 5 hours, though it may vary based on individual needs and surgical complexity.
Most patients stay overnight in the hospital for monitoring and comfort, especially when multiple procedures are performed. Some cases may be completed as outpatient procedures, depending on the surgical plan.
The surgery takes place in accredited hospitals in Greater London that follow strict standards of sterilization, safety, and surgical care, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment throughout your procedure.
Recovery varies according to the combination of procedures. Most patients can resume light daily activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling, tightness, and fatigue are common in the first days and gradually improve. Full recovery—including returning to exercise and strenuous activities—typically takes 6 to 8 weeks.
Post-operative care includes wearing compression garments, avoiding heavy lifting, maintaining proper wound care, taking prescribed medications, and following mobility guidelines to support healing. Attending follow-up appointments is essential for monitoring progress and ensuring safe recovery.
The first step is to schedule a consultation. During this appointment, I will evaluate your goals, medical history, and physical condition to design a personalised treatment plan. I will also explain expected results, potential combinations of procedures, and all relevant details about the surgery.
Following UK Medical Council recommendations, healthy patients without significant medical conditions may not require extensive pre-operative testing. However, because a Mommy Makeover involves multiple procedures, additional exams—such as blood tests and imaging—may be advised depending on individual needs.
The cost varies significantly depending on the procedures included, surgical time, anesthesia, and hospital fees. The total typically includes hospital costs, anesthetist’s fees, surgeon’s fees, and nursing support.
On average, prices range from £10,000 to £18,000. During your consultation, you will receive a personalised quote based on your goals and the specific combination of procedures recommended.
