Despite its name suggesting a post-pregnancy procedure, the Mummy Makeover isn’t exclusive to recent mothers. Operated at Centre for Surgery in London, this set of procedures indeed frequently caters to women who’ve undergone substantial physical changes due to pregnancy.
Such transformations often involve rapid weight gain and subsequent loss post-pregnancy, along with alterations to the breasts following pregnancy and breastfeeding. Further, abdominal wall muscles can sometimes be damaged as a result of childbirth. This condition, while sounding daunting, is a testament to the remarkable strength and resilience of a woman’s body to endure labour and childbirth.
However, the benefits of a mummy makeover extend beyond new mothers. It proves to be an incredibly effective suite of surgical interventions for patients who’ve experienced significant weight loss. The transformative power of these procedures aids in tackling loose skin, uneven body proportions, and sagging areas that often follow a dramatic weight reduction. The ‘mummy makeover’ name is a misnomer in a way as it also helps individuals on their journey towards achieving their desired body contour, irrespective of whether the changes in their bodies were due to childbearing or weight loss.

What is the Mummy Makeover?
The Mummy Makeover is essentially a customised package of surgical procedures tailored to address the specific needs of the patient. Depending on your requirements and the current state of your body, this multifaceted intervention can include a breast lift, breast augmentation or breast reduction to enhance the upper body. To deal with abdominal changes, it frequently encompasses a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, and possibly liposuction if deemed necessary.
The remarkable aspect of the Mummy Makeover lies in its condensed recovery period. Being a combination of procedures performed simultaneously, it enables you to recover from several transformations at once, effectively shortening the overall recovery duration compared to if these procedures were carried out independently.

However, it’s vital to note that despite its efficiency, the Mummy Makeover remains one of the more comprehensive surgical procedures we perform at Centre for Surgery. Hence, patients should anticipate and prepare for a relatively prolonged recovery period, allowing the body ample time to heal and adjust to the transformations. The reward, of course, is a rejuvenated body that reflects the hard work you’ve invested in your weight loss journey.

Can a Mummy Makeover help after massive weight loss?
If you’ve reached this point after a substantial weight loss journey, let’s first take a moment to celebrate your extraordinary achievement. Our team at Centre for Surgery has had the privilege of accompanying many patients on their transformative weight loss paths and we fully comprehend the physical, mental, and emotional fortitude it requires to shed significant pounds. Your journey thus far is a testament to your amazing resilience and determination! And if you’re still progressing towards your goal, hold onto that resolve! You’re on the right track!
We also recognise that, despite the monumental weight loss, the body you’re left with may not quite match the one you had imagined at the start of your journey. You may be grappling with excess skin that not only fails to reflect your vision, but also causes discomfort. Additionally, you might be struggling with stubborn fat deposits that persistently resist dieting and exercise efforts.
So, how can the Mummy Makeover assist in this scenario? Essentially, the Mummy Makeover merges several surgical procedures we commonly perform on patients who’ve undergone substantial weight loss. Many individuals losing considerable weight often shed most of it around the abdomen area. However, exercise, no matter how rigorous, cannot eliminate excess skin – that’s where surgery steps in.
The tummy tuck, a cornerstone of the Mummy Makeover, effectively eliminates surplus skin around the mid and lower abdomen. This procedure unveils the lean, flat abdomen that patients have worked tirelessly to attain. Liposuction, another integral component of the Mummy Makeover, effectively eliminates stubborn fat deposits while sculpting and contouring targeted areas like the abdomen and thighs, enhancing your newly slim silhouette.
In the case of breast-related concerns, dramatic weight loss can leave women dealing with excess skin in the breast area or sagging, deflated, or disproportionate breasts that don’t align with their newly reshaped bodies. Fortunately, our range of breast surgeries, from breast lifts to reductions, can address and resolve these issues, ensuring a harmonious balance between your transformed figure and your breasts.
Am I suitable for a Mummy Makeover?
If you’ve undergone a significant weight loss transformation, regardless of whether this was triggered by pregnancy or another factor, you might be a suitable candidate for the Mummy Makeover. Our ideal patients are those who are in good general health, have essentially reached their desired weight and feel confident in maintaining it. If you’ve recently been pregnant, it would be best if you’ve completed breastfeeding and your body has returned to a stable pre-pregnancy condition.
However, the most effective way to establish whether you’re a suitable candidate for the Mummy Makeover is by scheduling a consultation with one of our specialist plastic surgeons at our Baker Street clinic. We are committed to ensuring our patients never feel pressured into undergoing any surgery they aren’t fully prepared for. Consequently, our consultations are designed to provide you with an opportunity to voice any concerns or questions you may have, helping you determine whether the Mummy Makeover is the most suitable option for your specific circumstances.
How much does a Mummy Makeover Cost?
The cost of a Mummy Makeover procedure can greatly vary since it is tailored to individual needs and goals. In London, the pricing can be determined more accurately after a thorough consultation with one of our plastic surgeons. This allows us to provide you with a firm quote that reflects your unique requirements.
Understanding that the financial aspect of surgery can be a burden, we have partnered with Chrysalis Finance to offer flexible financing options that may alleviate this concern. Our primary aim is to make your aspirations a reality by providing as much assistance as possible.
If you’re ready to take the next step, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out by calling us on 0207 993 4849. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and help you achieve your goals.
