Overview
A Mommy Makeover is a customised combination of procedures designed to restore areas of the body commonly affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding. Treatment typically focuses on the breasts and abdomen but may also include liposuction or other body contouring procedures depending on your individual needs.
Rather than a single operation, a Mommy Makeover is tailored specifically to your anatomy and goals, allowing multiple procedures to be performed during one operation where appropriate.
What Can a Mommy Makeover Include?
Your personalised treatment plan may include one or more procedures to restore body shape following pregnancy.
- Breast Augmentation
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
- Breast Reduction
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
- Liposuction
- Fat Transfer
- Body Contouring Procedures
- Scar Revision where appropriate
