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.
Nights In Hospital
We recommend a 1-2 night stay due to multiple surgeries.
Recovery
Recovery is between 3 and 6 weeks. During recovery, we recommend wearing supportive garments for 6 weeks.
Full Results
Depending on which procedures are undergone, full results can take between 6 weeks and 12 months.

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.
