Pregnancy brings about significant physical and emotional changes, and many women struggle with the lasting effects, such as excess skin, sagging breasts, and stubborn fat that won’t budge despite diet and exercise. These changes can lead to a loss of confidence and discomfort in one’s own body, affecting self-esteem and overall well-being.

This approach not only targets multiple areas of concern but also reduces recovery time, allowing you to feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
What is a Mummy Makeover?
A Mummy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures specifically designed for women who want to restore their bodies after pregnancy. Childbirth and pregnancy can affect a woman’s body – causing loose skin, sagging breasts, and fats that diet and exercise can’t fix. A mummy makeover provides a comprehensive solution to these common post-pregnancy concerns by combining several procedures into one transformative surgery.
At Lux Plastic Surgery in Bedford, we offer personalized mummy makeovers to help you regain your pre-pregnancy body and confidence.

Key Benefits of a Mummy Makeover
A Mummy Makeover offers multiple benefits, both physically and emotionally. The main benefits of this surgery include:
Comprehensive Body Restoration
By combining several treatments, a mummy makeover can address multiple areas of concern in one go. Whether it’s your abdomen, breasts, or areas with stubborn fat, a mummy makeover can tackle them all.
Restored Confidence
After the changes pregnancy brings, many women feel less confident in their bodies. Restore your self-esteem with Mummy Makeover. It rejuvenates your body to make you feel like yourself again.
Faster Recovery
By combining procedures into one surgery, you only need to recover once, which is generally more efficient than undergoing separate surgeries over time.
Customisable Treatment
Every woman’s body is different, and so are her needs. A mummy makeover is fully customizable, ensuring that the procedures you choose fit your specific goals.
What Does a Mummy Makeover Include?
A Mummy Makeover typically involves a combination of several body contouring and breast surgery procedures. The exact treatments depend on your personal concerns and goals, but common procedures include:
Tummy Tuck (Tummy Tuck)
This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the muscles of the abdomen, which often become loose and separated after pregnancy. A tummy tuck restores a flatter, firmer stomach.
Breast Lift or Augmentation
Pregnancy can cause sagging or loss of breast volume. Augmentation uses implants to bring fullness back, while a lift raises and reshapes the breasts.
Liposuction
For many women, areas such as the thighs, hips, and abdomen store stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction removes fat from these areas, sculpting a more toned appearance.
Other Procedures
Depending on your needs, a mummy makeover may also include skin tightening, thigh lifts, or other body sculpting treatments to enhance the overall result.
At Lux Plastic Surgery, we take the time to understand your goals and create a treatment plan tailored to your body’s needs. Whether you are looking to target your tummy, breasts, or other areas, we offer a solution that fits.
Healing and Recovery After a Mummy Makeover
One of the advantages of a Mummy Makeover is that the recovery process is typically quicker than recovering from multiple separate surgeries. However, as with any surgery, healing is an important part of the process:
Initial Recovery
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort can be felt in the first few days after surgery. These symptoms are common and will gradually subside. Pain medications will be prescribed to keep you comfortable.
Return to Work
Most women take 2 to 3 weeks off from work to recover fully. However, the recovery time can vary depending on the number of procedures performed and how your body heals.
Physical Activity
Light physical activities can usually be resumed after about 2 weeks, but more strenuous exercises should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.
Final Results
While you’ll see improvement right away, the full results of your mummy makeover will become visible after 3 to 6 months as swelling continues to subside and your body fully heals.
Who’s Ideal for a Mummy Makeover?
A Mummy Makeover is good for women who:
Have completed their family
The procedures are best for women who are done having children, as pregnancy can affect the results of surgery.
Are in good overall health
Candidates should be free of major health conditions such as heart disease or diabetes.
Have stable body weight
It’s important to be at or near your goal weight before undergoing surgery. Losing weight after a mummy makeover may affect the procedure’s results.
Keep expectations realistic
Mummy makeover can enhance your body’s appearance, but it won’t make it flawless.
