The Mummy Makeover

The Mummy Makeover

From the moment you find out that you’re pregnant, through watching your tummy grow, all the way to giving birth, becoming a mother can be one of the most wonderful and rewarding experiences in your life. However, after your baby is born, finding time to hit the gym can quite hard. What used to be beautiful changes can soon transform into fat deposits that refuse to disappear.

What is a Mummy Makeover?

Changes to women’s breasts, buttocks, abdomen and waist regions after giving birth are fairly common. Some women are able to regarding their pre-baby shape by hitting the gym and working out, as well as incorporating a healthy diet, while other struggle for months on end, often without succeeding.

That’s where the Mummy Makeover procedure comes in. It is designed to restore your body’s appearance to how it used to be before the pregnancy and childbirth. Usually, Mummy Makeover are performed as a single procedure, but they can also be staged when the situation calls for it. Techniques used for Mummy Makeover vary.

• Deflated-looking or sagging breast
• Loose abdomen skin
• Diastis-recti (separation) of the abdominal muscles
