Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to various changes to the breasts and body. Common issues include excess skin on the abdomen caused by overstretching and a loss of skin elasticity, separation of the abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis), stubborn pockets of fat, and noticeable scars following a caesarean section. The breasts also often change, with a loss of volume, sagging (ptosis) following the onset of milk production and breastfeeding, and changes in the position of the nipples. A ‘mummy makeover’ combines individually tailored procedures to restore the body’s shape following pregnancy and breastfeeding. Depending on the individual’s specific situation, breast surgery, a tummy tuck, a pubic mound lift and liposuction can be combined to restore the body’s contours in a harmonious and natural way. Intimate surgery is an additional option.

Preparation
It is essential that you have reached your healthy target weight before undergoing body contouring surgery. To ensure optimal wound healing, you should stop smoking around four weeks before the operation. Blood-thinning medication should be stopped or adjusted a few days before the procedure, following consultation with your doctor.

The procedure is planned on an individual basis and, depending on the patient’s initial condition, combines various techniques such as breast surgery, tummy tuck, pubic mound lift and scar revision, or liposuction.
