Mummy Makeover in Manchester and Cheshire

There are a number of different breast operations in the Mummy Makeover, from breast augmentation to breast reduction. If you have always had smaller breasts and feel that you have lost more volume since having children, then a breast implant may help improve this. In some women with reasonable breast volume before pregnancy, there may be some further loss of volume. If there is not much drooping, then an implant may help increase the volume. When there has been a large amount of drooping it is likely that a breast uplift or mastopexy procedure may be required.

The tummy may only have some excess fat in the central part or flanks, giving love handles. If this is the case, then liposuction alone may be enough to help improve the shape. The loose skin in the lower tummy can be improved using either a mini-tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck, depending on the amount of loose skin. Mr Nassab will discuss these options during your consultation.

The length of hospital stay will depend on the combination of procedures being undertaken. If you are having a breast enlargement with either liposuction or mini-tummy tuck, then this can be a day case procedure. Most other procedures will require an overnight stay in the hospital.

The recovery time will depend on the operation being performed. Most people will require about two to three weeks off work if they have a full tummy tuck or breast reduction. The majority of patients will be back to normal activities at about six weeks following the mummy makeover.

It is recommended that you discuss this with your insurer. Most patients will be driving after 2 weeks following their procedure.

The normal recommendation is six weeks for strenuous physical activity. Exercising earlier may cause increases in blood pressure and heart rate that may increase the risk of bleeding. Patients who have the implants under the muscle will also find that they will have more discomfort initially. Muscle repair of the abdomen can also delay recovery and abdominal exercises.

The risks of the mummy makeover will depend on the combination of procedures being performed. The risks or complications will be similar to those outlined for the following procedures: breast enlargement; breast uplift; breast reduction; tummy tuck; and liposuction.

The cost of a mummy makeover will vary depending on the operations. The cost of breast enlargement and mini-tummy tuck starts from £16500—Finance options available — The prices for uplifts and full tummy tucks will be more. You can book a consultation with Mr Nassab to discuss which procedures would be most suitable for you and the costs related to these.
