Mummy Makeover

A mummy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It typically includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction. The goal is to address sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, and stubborn fat deposits. Each makeover is tailored to the patient’s unique needs, allowing for personalized combinations of procedures. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and can last between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of procedures involved.

  • Post-operative recovery depends on the extent of the surgery but generally involves significant downtime. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in multiple areas. Pain management, compression garments, and careful monitoring of incision sites are essential. Patients are encouraged to take at least two weeks off work and avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise for about six weeks.

  • Risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, and complications related to anesthesia. Each individual procedure carries its own risks, so it's important for patients to be fully informed by their surgeon about potential complications.

  • Pre-surgical preparation involves a comprehensive medical evaluation, including blood work, a physical examination, and discussions about medical history and expectations. Specific tests may be required based on the procedures included in the makeover.

    • Temporary pain

    • Swelling and bruising

    • Numbness in affected areas

    • Fatigue and difficulty moving around are common in the initial weeks of recovery.

  • Full recovery from a mummy makeover can take up to three months, with gradual improvements in the body's appearance and comfort level. Light activities can generally be resumed after two weeks, with more intense physical activities delayed until the patient is fully healed.
