Reclaim Your Body and Confidence After Pregnancy
At Manchester Private Hospital, we understand the physical and emotional changes many women face after childbirth. A mummy makeover is a personalized combination of procedures designed to restore your body, boost your confidence, and help you feel like yourself again.
Whether you’re looking to address loose abdominal skin, sagging breasts, or stubborn fat, our experienced surgeon team offers bespoke mummy makeovers tailored to your needs — all in a safe, CQC-accredited environment.
What Is A Mummy Makeover?
A mummy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgeries designed to help mums rejuvenate parts of their bodies that have changed because of pregnancy and childbirth. It can include a variety of procedures, such as tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation and liposuction.
This transformative makeover for mom is custom-built to each individual. No two bodies are the same, and neither are our treatment plans. Our approach prioritises both your goals and your long-term health and safety.
Why Choose A Mummy Makeover
Pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can be tough on women’s bodies. Many people find it hard to lose the excess weight they gained during this time, and it’s common to develop loose skin around the tummy area. Women may also be unhappy with changes to the appearance of their breasts. Having a mummy makeover can address these issues, helping women to reclaim a more youthful physique.
One of the attractions of this type of procedure is the convenience it offers. It may involve having multiple surgeries at the same time, helping to reduce overall cost and recovery time.
As mentioned above, a mummy makeover can include procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation and liposuction. However, it can incorporate a range of other treatments too. This means people may choose to have this type of surgery for a range of reasons, including to:
- Remove excess fat and skin from the tummy
- Reshape the breasts to give them a firmer, fuller appearance
- Reduce breast size and reposition the breasts
- Improve the appearance of stretch marks or scars
- Rejuvenate the tone and appearance of the mons pubis
- Remove excess skin and fat from the thighs and arms
Having mummy makeover surgery can help patients to regain their confidence about the way they look.
What Happens During A Mummy Makeover?
At your consultation, you will have a chance to discuss what you’d like to achieve through the surgery. Your consultant will talk you through your options and suggest the most suitable treatments available. Depending on the types of procedure you may be considering, your surgeon might recommend performing them all at once or, if this isn’t possible, in more than one surgery.
What Procedures Are Included in a Mummy Makeover?
A mummy makeover is a fully personalised surgical plan designed to address the most common physical changes women experience after pregnancy and childbirth. At Manchester Private Hospital, we tailor your makeover to match your body, goals, and lifestyle — combining procedures that target multiple areas in one safe, coordinated approach.
Here’s what may be included in your mummy makeover:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Pregnancy can stretch the abdominal muscles and skin, often leaving behind loose tissue and a bulging appearance. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles, helping to restore a flatter, firmer midsection.
- Breast Augmentation: Loss of volume after breastfeeding is a common concern. Breast augmentation uses implants to restore fullness, shape, and symmetry to the breasts. We offer a wide range of implant types and sizes to suit your body proportions and desired outcome.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): If your breasts have lost their youthful position or shape, a breast lift can help. This procedure reshapes and elevates sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple for a more lifted, natural contour — with or without implants.
- Liposuction: Some fat deposits simply don’t respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction helps contour and sculpt the body by permanently removing stubborn fat from targeted areas like the flanks, thighs, hips, or abdomen — enhancing the overall silhouette.
- Labiaplasty: Pregnancy and childbirth can cause physical changes to the labia that may result in discomfort or self-consciousness. Labiaplasty is a delicate surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the labia for improved comfort and appearance.
- Optional Procedures: Depending on your goals, we may also recommend non-surgical skin tightening treatments to enhance skin tone and elasticity — especially in areas with mild to moderate laxity. These can be added to complement surgical results or as part of a staged treatment plan.
Each mummy makeover we perform is thoughtfully planned with your unique needs in mind. During your consultation, our expert surgeon team will walk you through each option and help design a treatment plan that supports your recovery, confidence, and long-term satisfaction.

Benefits of a Mummy Makeover -Reclaiming Confidence & a Sense of Self
Becoming a mother is a life-altering and rewarding experience. However, it comes with significant physical changes that can impact a woman’s self-esteem.
Fortunately, the rise of the Mummy Makeover has offered a transformative solution, providing a comprehensive approach to restoring mothers’ physical and emotional well-being. Here are some compelling benefits associated with this procedure that you should know:
Improved Self-Confidence & Body Image
Pregnancy and childbirth can leave lasting changes on a woman’s body, affecting the abdomen and breasts. A Mummy Makeover, comprising procedures like a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction, can effectively address these changes.
The result is a more toned, youthful physique that often translates to increased self-confidence and improved body image. Feeling comfortable and content with one’s appearance can positively ripple effect on various aspects of life.
Restoration of Self After Childbirth
Motherhood is a journey that brings joy and fulfillment, but it can also lead to a sense of identity loss as the focus shifts to the child’s well-being.
A Mummy Makeover allows mothers to reclaim a sense of self by addressing the physical changes that may have occurred during pregnancy.
Restoring the body to its pre-pregnancy state can empower and contribute to a renewed sense of identity and individuality.
Enhanced Quality of Life and Personal Well-Being
The physical transformations resulting from a Mummy Makeover are not merely cosmetic; they can profoundly impact a woman’s overall well-being. The newfound confidence and improved body image often translate into a more active and engaged lifestyle.
A Mummy Makeover is more than just a cosmetic procedure; it is a holistic approach to helping mothers regain confidence, reclaim their sense of self, and enhance their overall quality of life.
This transformative process empowers women to embrace motherhood with newfound confidence and a positive self-image by addressing the physical and emotional aspects of post-pregnancy changes.
Recovery From A Mummy Makeover
How long you take to recover from a mummy makeover will depend on the procedures you have. As an example, if you have a tummy tuck, you will typically need to stay in hospital for between two and four days. During this time, you will have dressings and bandages on your lower abdomen, and you may also have drains attached to your wound to remove fluid. Some patients are also put on a drip to help ensure they stay hydrated and to allow for medicines to be given. You will also be provided with painkillers after your operation to help ease any discomfort.
Once you have left hospital following a tummy tuck, you should continue to rest. It is recommended to stay in bed at home for up to three days. You can get up and start moving around as soon as you feel comfortable enough to do so, but avoid any stretching and strenuous activity.
You should expect to need around four weeks off work, although you may need slightly more or less depending on the nature of your job. You should avoid sports and heavy lifting for up to eight weeks, and make sure you wear support clothing during your recovery if your consultant advises you to.
Regardless of the types of procedure you are planning to have during your mummy makeover, your consultant will have a detailed discussion with you regarding what you can expect during your recovery.
Side Effects And Complications

- swelling

Consultation for a mummy makeover is a vital step. The surgeon will sit with you to discuss your medical history plus cosmetic goals during your initial consultation.

The results of a mummy makeover are designed to be long lasting, but they may not be permanent. For example, fat removed through liposuction will not grow back. However, new fat can accumulate over time if you do not take steps to prevent this.

To maintain the results for as long as possible, you should stick to a healthy lifestyle.

How long you need to wait after giving birth before you have tummy tuck surgery will be impacted by factors such as whether you are breastfeeding and any weight changes you experienced due to pregnancy.
