Mummy Makeover

The procedure ‘mummy makeover’ is a popular term and treatment used in cosmetic practice to treat mothers who wish to address breast and body changes post childbirth.

What Is a Mummy Makeover?

This treatment has become a popular solution for mothers who have undergone bodily changes post-pregnancy, including loose skin, sagging breasts, stubborn fat and so forth. A mummy makeover helps restore confidence in mothers who have struggled with these changes.

A mummy makeover or ‘mommy job’ is a combination of procedures to address these concerns and is completely interchangeable with each patient. Procedures can include tummy tuck, breast lift with implant, breast lift with reduction, fat transfer, liposuction and beyond. Some patients choose to split the procedures over time, while we recommend combining all of the desired procedures on the same day.

Wish I Did It Sooner
I underwent a Mummy Makeover 6 weeks ago with Gary and I can’t put into words how extremely happy I am. I was really unhappy with my body and had been considering this procedure for some time. It’s only been a few weeks but I’m a different person already. I’m buying clothes I never thought I could wear and I even bought a bikini for my holiday in December! Gary and his team are professional and give you realistic expectations. In fact, Gary undersold his talent during consultations and I ended up happier than I expected.

Mummy Makeover After 5 Kids, 4 C-sections and a Lot of Weight Loss
I had tuberous breasts to begin with but they were now even more deflated and mishapen and I had a significant overhang of fat and skin courtesy of my c-sections. I'd seen Mr Ross several times. Having finished my family and at a healthy and stable weight, I was finally able to go ahead and book my 'mummy makeover' for June. I am now nearly 6 weeks post op and thrilled with my new body. I'm not sure exactly what I expected but my results far exceed what I ever imagined would be possible. If miracles exist, Mr Ross has certainly achieved one for me.

35 Yrs Old, Breast Reduction & Full Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair and Lipo - Manchester, GB
I chose Gary Ross because I was so impressed with his work on his website, that I decided to have a full tummy tuck with liposuction and muscle repair at the same time as my breast reduction. I felt that I was in very capable hands when opting for further surgery, as I knew Gary was very knowledgeable with great expertise. Gary explained the tummy tuck procedure, assessed me and was honest about what could and couldn't be achieved. I'm now 7 weeks post-op, healing well, and have had no postoperative complications. Gary has been amazing throughout this whole experience!

Case Studies: Mummy Makeover

Here are some of our patients who have undergone a combination of mummy makeover surgery. Our dedicated mummy makeover case studies page has several more examples.

Mummy Makeover Procedures & Expectations

As mentioned, there are several procedures you can get in combination with each other that are completely dependent on Mr Ross’ assessment of your case and your goals. Here is some more information on which options could be available to you.

Liposuction

A technique of fat removal that can be used around the body, but is more commonly used for the stomach or breasts for stubborn areas of fat that may have been hard to get rid of post-pregnancy.

Abdominoplasty

A mummy makeover procedure that involves removing excess fat and loose skin. An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a popular procedure that is very effective in body contouring and restoring the figure of mothers post-pregnancy.

Breast Surgeries

Several breast surgeries may be suited to your desired results. However, the most popular procedures as part of mummy makeover surgeries include breast implants, breast lifts and reductions. All of which can be used to treat sagging breasts, loose skin around the breasts, larger and heavier breasts and asymmetrical breasts, all of which are common and natural changes.

Preparations For a Mummy Makeover

All procedures require a consultation in Manchester with Mr Ross or over video call. The conversation will include an open discussion on your goals, your eligibility for specific procedures and all pros and cons with each procedure combination. While we encourage questions, Mr Ross ensures that all information is provided to best guide and help the patient's overall choice, and preparations are taken before surgery.

Mummy Makeover Surgery

The procedures are performed under general anaesthesia and can take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours. A mummy makeover has multiple surgery options and eligibility requirements; therefore, the surgery procedure is different for everyone. A run-through of the surgery will be completed with each patient and is discussed thoroughly during consultations.

Post Mummy Makeover Procedures

An overnight stay is recommended due to multiple surgeries. Garments provided are recommended to be worn for 6 weeks, with moderate exercise from 4 weeks, and if you have a moderately active job, you can return within 1 to 2 weeks. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
The mainbenefit of a mummy makeoveris that you are able to feel confident in your body and achieve the look that you want or had before childbirth, such as more uplifted breasts or a flatter abdomen. An added benefit of a mummy makeover, as opposed to having body and breast rejuvenations separately, is that you don’t have to go through recovery on two occasions. Instead, both procedures can be completed at the same time and therefore, you halve recovery time.

Having your mummy makeover in Manchester means that you are able to work with one of the UK’s leading mummy makeover surgeons, Gary Ross.

The duration of a mummy makeover surgery is dependent on the exact procedures that are being used. After a discussion with a mummy makeover surgeon in Manchester, you will be given a more accurate idea of how long the procedure will take.

Full recovery can take up to 6 weeks after having a mummy makeover in Manchester so avoid strenuous activity till after this period. In the hours and days after having a mummy makeover surgery, gentle movement is very important and will be encouraged. This helps to decrease risks associated with general anaesthetic.

Mr Ross or another member of
the team will give specific advice based on the procedures you have had.

A mini mummy makeover is an adjusted version of the traditional full mummy makeover, when amini tummy tuck is used instead of a full tummy tuck and/or amini boob job is used in contrast to a larger breast implant.

The difference between a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck is that a mini focuses on tightening the area below the belly button, whereas a full tummy tuck tightens the entire abdomen. This is still usually combined with a form of breast rejuvenation. After a consultation with a mummy makeover surgeon, Gary Ross, in Manchester, they will advise which can deliver the most natural results and can achieve your desired results.
