What is a Mummy Makeover?

Having children is an exciting and fulfilling experience for women. However, pregnancy can sometimes leave certain undesirable after-effects that no amount of nutrition plans or personal trainers can fix. These most often manifest themselves as sagging breasts and a loose tummy. Well, a Mummy Makeover can solve all that.

The Mummy Makeover was designed as a set of postpartum strategies that help women with their body issues — reversing some of the undesirable effects of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding through surgical means.

What can I expect during my first consultation

You should prepare a list of questions you may have for your surgeon and ideas on what procedures or areas of concern you would like to focus on.

Breast augmentation
When a woman gets pregnant, her breasts grow in size. This growth accelerates towards the last trimester and during breastfeeding, and the skin will stretch to accommodate the enlarged glands and milk. After pregnancy, you might experience your breasts as flatter, saggier or smaller than they had been.

A breast augmentation is a viable option if you would like to have fuller-looking breasts. This involves surgically implanting silicone or saline implants. There are also various sizes and shapes to choose from, so it’s best to have a detailed discussion with your surgeon to help you in your decision.

Another option would be to undergo a breast lift or mastopexy. This procedure raises and reshapes your breasts, repositions the nipple-areolar complex and removes the excess skin around the breast. A breast lift can be done with an implant if required.

Liposuction
Pregnancy hormones can cause new deposits of stubborn fat to develop. This may lead to the unwanted post-pregnancy “muffin tops” and “love handles”. Therefore, liposuction is a procedure where these fat deposits are surgically removed through small puncture holes in the areas of concern. This allows us to create pleasing contours for your body shape.

Liposuction can remove fat from various areas, such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs.

Tummy tuck
Liposuction can remove fat, but it cannot firm a tummy or repair stretched muscles. A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is the only way to address the issue of damaged abdominal muscles.

To accommodate the growing baby, the stomach expands and this causes the skin to stretch and possibly, the abdominal muscles to move far apart from the midline. The surgeon will remove excess fat and stretched skin. He or she will also correct the splayed abdominal muscles by stitching the torn tissue between them.

What you need to know about thread lifts

Image
Until recently, the only way to solve problems was to skin laxity - such as the jaws and droopy cheeks- by face lift. After all, while skin rejuvenation treatments can help restore a certain level of firmness, if loose skin is present, only the scalp can actually remove it. However, although reliance on injectable compounds and skin conditioning approaches until facelift surgery becomes a necessary measure for many patients, not everyone is ready or able to perform the operation. If you belong to this group, you will be happy to know that a new type of procedure has been developed to fill the gap between non-invasive facial rejuvenation and facelift. Surgery - Thread Lift. What is a Thread Lift? Thread Lift is a type of technique that uses temporary stitches to create a soft but visible "lift" in the skin. Instead of patients who remove the loose facial skin surgically, the cosmetic surgeon suspends it simply by stitching parts of it. It pulls on the skin and lifts, and there...
