Yummy Mummy Makeover

Getting back into shape after having a baby can be quite difficult and time-consuming, requiring a lot of dedication and perseverance on your part. However, there is another faster way to achieve the body you originally had without strenuous exercise and dieting.

The term ‘mummy makeover’ is referred to the combined surgical procedures of abdominal contouring and breast rejuvenation, used to address some of the natural changes in a woman’s body after pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Feel great again with post-pregnancy cosmetic surgery options

Your body naturally changes its body shape through the stages of pregnancy, so it may not be possible to revert back to this shape without surgical correction. The areas of greatest change for a woman will be the abdomen and the breasts – both changes producing laxity of the skin, creating excess skin and stretch marks; and descent or drop in the position of the breast tissue and the nipple. The two options to cosmetically achieve a yummy mummy figure are your abdomen and your breasts.

Abdomen:

An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck will tighten stretched skin or split muscles, remove excess fat and tighten the skin below the belly button, which have all been a result of the growing size of the baby. This procedure is necessary if after delivery, abdominal muscle and skin is left stretched and there is excess loose skin.

The three options for abdominoplasty are here:

Abdominoplasty: This full procedure involves all of the skin below the belly button being removed and the muscles being tightened to maximum effect. It is usually combined with liposuction to remove fat and the scar usually runs from hip to hip.
Mini abdominoplasty: This procedure addresses excess skin below the belly button but will not allow tightening of the muscles. The advantage is a shorter scar.
Endoscopic abdominoplasty: This allows skin to be tightened below the belly button as well as tightening muscles. This is often done by a shorter incision

Breast:

Breasts are also affected through the course of pregnancy, with many mummies choosing to opt for breast implants or nipple elevation after noticing that breast-feeding can leave the skin deflated and drooping. There are three options for breast implants:
Breast Augmentation: This procedure uses a silicone or saline implant to restore lost breast volume and give a degree of lift to the nipple
Breast Lift: The nipple is elevated and the skin of the breast is tightened. It usually leaves a ‘lollipop scar.’
Augmentation mastopexy: Uses breast implants and a breast lift to restore volume
