What you need to know before getting a mummy makeover?

A mummy makeover is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to repair the visible effects of childbirth on a woman’s body. These procedures help women look and feel like their pre-baby selves again. Many women are apprehensive about getting a mummy makeover for fear of losing their sense of identity. The truth, however, is that it’s not just a cosmetic surgery but also an opportunity to feel good about yourself again after having given birth to your beautiful child.  We have asked Mr. Aftab Siddiqui, a UK-based surgeon, to give us his insight into the mummy makeover.

Why Do Women Get a Mummy Makeover?

Many women choose to undergo a mummy makeover after childbirth. There are several reasons for this. When a woman is pregnant, her body goes through multiple changes in order to accommodate the growing baby inside her. This includes the stretching of the abdominal muscles, the ligaments in the pelvic region, and the skin. The body is designed to return to its pre-pregnancy state after childbirth, but for some women, it does not return to its pre-pregnancy state. This is why a mummy makeover can be beneficial. A mummy makeover can help with the following issues: - Skin laxity - Stretch marks - Saggy breasts - Loose abdominal muscles - Loose pelvic floor muscles - Disappearing or excess pubic hair

Who Is A Good Candidate for a Mummy Makeover?

A mummy makeover can be a good option for women who have undergone multiple pregnancies, have a healthy body, and have given birth at least a year ago. Furthermore, the following conditions make a woman a better candidate for a mummy makeover: - Healthy weight - Healthy blood pressure - No history of smoking - Good overall health - No allergies to anesthesia

What Are the Different Types of Mummy Makeovers?

A mummy makeover can involve several procedures, including: - Breast lift - Breast augmentation - Liposuction - Abdominoplasty - Thigh lift - Buttock augmentation - Vaginal Tightening

How Much Does A Mummy Makeover Cost?

The cost of a mummy makeover varies depending on which procedure a woman chooses to have. A breast lift typically costs between £5,000 and £7,000; a breast augmentation costs between £5,000 and £9,000; a tummy tuck costs between £5,000 and £15,000, and a thigh lift costs between £5,000 and £9,000. The cost of liposuction varies depending on the body part that is being treated.

Discomfort and Recovery Time During and After Surgery

Some of the most common side effects of a mummy makeover include difficulty sleeping, pain, and swelling. Swelling is normal and typically lasts for around two weeks. Most other side effects can be mitigated by the use of medication. While these side effects are not ideal, they are necessary precautions that must be taken when undergoing any sort of plastic surgery. After surgery, most patients are advised to take rest and relax. Depending on which procedure was performed, the recovery time varies. In most cases, patients are advised to refrain from strenuous activities for around two months.
