What is a mummy makeover?
A mummy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgeries designed to address the physical changes that occur after pregnancy, breast-feeding and childbirth. It typically involves a customised plan tailored to your specific needs and goals, targeting areas such as the breasts, abdomen, and more.
With the help of your skilled surgeons we can restore your body’s youthful contours and help you feel like yourself again.

Common procedures undertaken in this cosmetic surgery journey include:
- Breast augmentation surgery, with or without breast implants, otherwise known as a breast enlargement.
- Full or mini tummy tuck surgery, or
- Liposuction – we offer several different types of liposuction to achieve your goals.

Your treatment can include any combination of these surgeries, or more, depending on your goals and unique body type.
What are the benefits of mummy makeover surgery?
There are many benefits to our cosmetic procedures for mums:
- Comprehensive transformation – By addressing multiple areas of concern in one surgery you can achieve a complete transformation, plus save time and money compared to having multiple procedures.
- Rejuvenated breast tissue – with a breast lift, breast augmentation, breast implants or a breast reduction we can improve the shape, size and position of your breasts to enhance your overall body proportions and give you a perkier bust.
- Trimmer, toned physique – A mini or full tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat, or liposuction targets excess fat, for a trimmer, flatter stomach and toned abdominal muscles.

How long after having kids can I get a mummy makeover?
Childbirth and pregnancy put a lot of stress on your body. For this reason we recommend you wait until you have returned to your pre-pregnancy weight, and have stopped breastfeeding for 3 to 6 months prior to your surgery.
Will I have to wait for my makeover if I'm still breastfeeding?
Surgeons will always recommend you avoid any type of surgery if you are still breastfeeding. Some medications used during surgery, such as general anaesthetic, antibiotics or opiates, can be passed through your breast milk to your baby.
Can I conceive again after mummy makeover surgery?
Yes, it is possible to conceive after your surgery. However, we do strongly recommend you wait until you have completed your family as future pregnancy and childbirth can alter your body once more, undoing the results of your surgery.
Will I have significant scarring after?
Any surgery typically results in some scarring, however our highly skilled surgeons are experts at hiding scars in natural skin creases or in places where they will be less visible.
Is the procedure painful?
A general anaesthesia is used during your surgery so you don’t feel any pain or discomfort. Your mummy makeover surgeon will prescribe medication for your recovery period to alleviate any pain or discomfort you may feel.
What are the restrictions after a makeover surgery?
We highly recommend that you don’t smoke and drink alcohol for at least 2 weeks after the surgery. You shouldn’t swim until at least 3 weeks after and you should avoid heavy workout routines for at least 6 weeks. There will be other restrictions, such as not lifting your arms above your head post a breast augmentation or breast lift. You will be given specific post operative instructions based on what procedures you have had.
