The breasts and tummy are the areas most often affected by pregnancy, and loose skin, stretch marks and drooping breasts are problems for many new mothers.
However, our highly trained and talented surgical team can provide a range of solutions to address these and other concerns in a single surgery, the mummy makeover.
Popular mummy makeover procedures include breast augmentation and tummy tuck, but why not book a consultation at our prestigious aesthetics clinic to explore all the plastic surgery options available for rejuvenating your post-partum body?

What does a Mummy makeover involve?
Mummy makeover patients can choose from a suite of cosmetic surgeries designed to address different post-partum changes in a woman’s body.
You will work with one of our aesthetic plastic surgeons to design a customised procedure that will enhance your body image and boost your self-confidence.
The following cosmetic surgery procedures often form part of a mummy makeover for our Manchester patients.
Breast surgery
Most women notice a significant increase in breast size during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Once the baby is born and breast feeding finished, the shape and size of the breasts do not return to their previous appearance. The breasts can appear both larger and flatter than before, as volume is lost and the tissues lose their firmness.
We offer several breast surgery procedures to Manchester patients, all designed to improve the appearance of post-partum breasts and restore body proportions.
Breast augmentation with implants
Breast implants are used to restore volume to the breasts, improving the size and shape. Breast enlargement surgery is a popular choice for women having a mummy makeover.
Breast reduction surgery
Some women prefer to have a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the breasts, removing excess skin and remodelling the breast tissue to give a better profile.
Breast uplift
A breast lift is often performed with other procedures to restore the breast to a more youthful position on the chest.
Tummy tuck
Your growing baby stretches your abdominal skin and muscles far beyond their natural size. As a result, many women are left with loose skin and separated abdominal muscles that diet and exercise cannot remove.
During a tummy tuck, your surgeon will remove excess skin and correct abdominal muscle separation. The result is a smoother and firmer abdomen.
Liposuction for excess fat removal
Excess fat on the body and limbs is a common legacy of pregnancy. Stubborn fat deposits develop on the upper arms, thighs, buttocks, and back that are resistant to the effects of a healthy diet and exercise.
Liposuction may also be used to remove excess fat during breast reduction surgery or a tummy tuck procedure.
At Coppergate Clinic, we use liposuction for body contouring that restores a sleeker figure and boosts body confidence.
Intimate rejuvenation
The process of childbirth can be traumatic, and damage to the vaginal area and labia can occur.
This can leave women with pain or discomfort and affect intimate relationships.
Our plastic surgeons routinely perform surgery to correct childbirth-related problems in the vaginal area with consistently good results.
Combining cosmetic surgery procedures in a mummy makeover is less disruptive than having multiple surgeries.

Am I a good candidate for a mummy makeover in Manchester?
Any woman who is unhappy about her body or experiencing discomfort after childbirth could be a good candidate for a mummy makeover.
If you are considering mummy makeover surgery, you will have a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon at our clinic. Your medical history and current state of health will be considered to ensure that you are healthy enough for surgery.
Our surgeons often prefer patients to stop smoking before surgery to assist the healing process.
Is a mummy makeover a weight loss treatment?
The mummy makeover is designed to rejuvenate a woman’s body after childbirth. Fat reduction and body contouring with liposuction may be part of this process, but it is not intended as a weight loss procedure.
The best results are achieved when women are at or near their ideal weight, so in fact, your surgeon may suggest you lose weight before having the procedure.
How long should I wait to have cosmetic surgery after childbirth?
We advise patients to delay cosmetic surgery until they have fully recovered from childbirth and finished breast feeding.
If you plan to have more children in the future, it is a good idea to wait until you have completed your family before undergoing your mummy makeover. Although breast enlargement with breast implants should not impair breast feeding in the future, other procedures like a breast lift may do so.
Further pregnancies will change your body again, and it is always best to avoid further surgery if possible.
How long do the procedure results last?
The results achieved by our aesthetic plastic surgeons are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy weight and fitness through a balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
How much does a mummy makeover cost?
Each mummy makeover is a bespoke procedure, designed to address the unique needs of your body.
This makes it impossible to give an indicative cost before you have been examined by a consultant plastic surgeon and your concerns have been fully discussed.
