Mummy Makeover

Mummy Makeover

"Mummy Makeover" is considered the latest trend in the field of cosmetic surgery, aiming to restore the beauty and confidence of mothers after childbirth. This makeover includes a variety of surgical procedures within Gulglam Clinics that target improving the appearance of the body and face after the natural changes that occur during pregnancy and childbirth. Here in this article, we will take an overview of Mummy Makeover and its importance. We will explore the common procedures involved and how this trend can impact women's self-confidence.

Common Procedures in Mummy Makeover

There are several common procedures within Gulglam Clinics that target cosmetic issues many women face after pregnancy and breastfeeding, including:

  1. Breast lift and reduction: This procedure aims to restore the shape and size of the breasts to their natural state after childbirth. It can also involve breast reduction if the size is significantly large.
  2. Abdominal contouring (tummy tuck): This procedure targets the removal of excess skin and tightening of the muscles in the abdominal area to achieve a toned and straight appearance.
  3. Skin tightening and laser treatments: This procedure is used to tighten excess skin in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Laser techniques can also be used to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Importance of Mummy Makeover

After pregnancy and childbirth, women undergo significant physical changes that may affect their self-confidence. These changes include weight loss, skin laxity, changes in breast shape, and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Mummy Makeover provides women with an opportunity to regain their natural beauty and self-confidence, contributing to improving their mental health and overall well-being.

Psychological Effects of Mummy Makeover Procedures

Mummy Makeover has a significant positive impact on women’s self-confidence, giving them a sense of beauty and confidence. By restoring the natural shape of the body and face, women feel confident and happy in their appearance, which positively reflects on their personal and social lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Liposuction Help in Mummy Makeover Procedures?

During pregnancy, most individuals gain (and later lose) a significant amount of weight, and abdominal muscles and skin also stretch to accommodate fetal growth. These changes can lead to loose skin and a "bulging" abdomen even after the postpartum period. One way to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin is through liposuction or abdominal surgery. Through this procedure, a cosmetic surgeon makes an incision from hip to hip to remove unwanted fat deposits and loose skin.

Who Are Not Suitable Candidates for Mummy Makeover?
  • Planning to have more children
  • Wanting to lose a significant amount of weight
  • Wanting surgery to please someone else rather than yourself
  • Struggling with postpartum depression (PPD)
When Is the Right Time for Mummy Makeover Procedures?

It is advisable to wait until after the completion of breastfeeding - and when you know you do not want more children - to undergo cosmetic surgeries. Here, the discussion is held between the cosmetic surgeon within Gulglam Clinics and the patient about the best time to perform cosmetic procedures.

What Are the Benefits of Mummy Makeover Procedures?

Relief from Rectus Diastasis Symptoms: Some individuals experience lower back pain and pelvic pain due to rectus diastasis, and correcting abdominal separation through liposuction may help alleviate some of these symptoms.

  • Pre-Pregnancy Appearance Restoration: Breast lift and other procedures can help reshape and define the breasts. This can help reduce or reverse the effects of aging, weight loss, and/or breastfeeding on breast size and appearance.
  • Improvement in Sexual Life: Some individuals may feel a boost in "sexual confidence" after undergoing cosmetic surgery, meaning they feel more confident in their bodies, which positively impacts their sexual lives.
  • Building Self-Confidence: Research indicates that some individuals feel greater confidence and have higher self-esteem after undergoing cosmetic surgery, such as Mummy Makeover.
