While a truly beautiful part of a women’s life, pregnancy can cause significant changes to the body that exercise and diet alone may not be able to entirely reverse. A ‘mummy makeover’ involves a collection of cosmetic surgical procedures to reverse the undesired effects of pregnancy, ageing, and childbirth. The abdomen and breasts are usually the main areas of the body that face the greatest changes post child-birth and nursing. A ‘mummy makeover’ therefore may include a breast lift, breast augmentation or breast reduction, a tummy tuck, a buttock augmentation and/or liposuction.

Important Notes:

• It is recommended that women wait between six and twelve months post child-birth before undergoing a ‘mummy makeover’
• It is important that the mother has finished breast feeding and is confident that her family is complete from growing, to avoid undoing the results of the procedures from further pregnancies

Reasons women may opt for a ‘mummy makeover’:

• To recreate a mother’s pre-pregnancy aesthetic that may be difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone
• To regain self confidence that may have been lost as result of the many changes her body has endured
