Mummy Makeover Surgery Essex

What Is Mummy Makeover Surgery?

Mummy makeover surgery is surgery that aims to restore the youthful appearance of the breasts and abdomen after childbirth. It is very common for women who have had children to find that they have loose skin on their abdomen and sagging breasts which can also look “deflated”. Mummy makeover surgery therefore commonly involves a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast surgery such as breast enlargement, breast uplift (mastopexy) or a combination of the two. Mummy makeover surgery is usually performed at the same time, but can be done in stages, with either the tummy tuck or the breast surgery done first.

Abdominoplasty helps patients achieve a flatter, firmer tummy and is also known as a tummy tuck. During Abdominoplasty surgery Essex, the tissue is usually removed as a large oval shape from the lower part of the tummy, leaving a scar that runs from hip to hip, just above the pubic hair line. There is also a scar around the belly button.

The “Brazilian Tummy Tuck” is an abdominoplasty combined with liposuction to the upper abdomen and waist.

The “Mini Tummy Tuck” is a smaller abdominoplasty procedure for those with a small overhang in the lower abdominal area (for example a skin fold over a caesarean section scar). It involves a shorter scar and no scar around the tummy button. Mr Sierakowski will help you decide which type of tummy tuck is right for you.

Mummy Makeover surgery often involves breast augmentation surgery to insert implants filled with silicone gel to enhance the size of the breasts. Alternatively, for women who are happy with the volume of their breasts, but don’t like their droopy shape, then a breast uplift operation (mastopexy) is a better option. For those women who would like larger breasts and also need to have saggy skin lifted, then a combination of a breast uplift and breast augmentation can be performed (augmentation mastopexy surgery).
