What is a mummy makeover, and how is it performed?
Autore:Top Doctors recently spoke to highly regarded plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgeon, Mr Ahid Abood, who, here in this article below, explains what a mummy makeover is, how it is performed, and what patients can do after surgery to ensure their results are maintained.
What is included in a mummy makeover?
Mummy makeover is a term used to describe combined breast and abdominal surgery. This often involves the use of breast implants. The abdominal component is a tummy tuck procedure.
When is the best time to have a mummy makeover? Is it recommended to lose weight before undergoing it?
It’s always best to carry out this type of surgery when you are at your ideal weight. Weight can potentially affect the cosmetic outcome of a mummy makeover. If you are planning to have children, the cosmetic outcome of the surgery is likely to be affected during and after childbirth, so it may be worth waiting until after creating a family before undergoing a mummy makeover.
How exactly is a mummy makeover performed?
A mummy makeover is carried out under general anaesthesia. Both the breast element and abdominal element of the surgery are performed at the same time, all in one go.
How much weight can be lost?
It’s important to realise that this surgery is not intended for weight loss but is often something undertaken after someone has lost weight.
What can patients do to maintain results after a mummy makeover?
The best way to maintain your results after surgery is to take advice from your surgeon with regards to managing your scars. Also, it is important to keep your weight as stable as possible.
