What does a ‘mummy makeover’ involve?

Many patients ask us: what is a mommy makeover? A mommy makeover is a collective term for a bespoke combination of plastic surgery procedures performed under a single anaesthetic session. The aim is to restore the anatomy of the areas most affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding – usually the breasts and abdomen. This usually involves a tummy tuck and a breast lift at the same time, sometimes combined with breast augmentation or liposuction. In common parlance, this comprehensive makeover procedure is sometimes also referred to as a mummy makeover, mommy tuck or mum’s operation.

Our body contouring techniques

To achieve genuine and long-lasting results, our surgeons use tailored techniques for both the breasts and the abdomen.

Breast surgery

Depending on your tissue, a breast lift without implants (which is very popular for a natural result) will be performed, or breast augmentation with implants if there is a lack of volume.

Abdominal surgery

A full tummy tuck removes excess skin, tightens the abdominal wall and sutures separated abdominal muscles together. This is often combined with liposuction of the flanks.

Gentle technology and medical precision

A combined procedure is complex and places extreme demands on the surgeon’s technical skill. Our specialists use refined techniques to minimise surgical trauma, reduce bleeding and ensure discreet scarring.

Consultation before your operation

The first step is a consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. You choose whether you want to book an online appointment or meet us in person at the clinic. During the appointment, you will be given medical information about risks, current waiting times and which techniques are best for you.

You will receive a specific treatment proposal based on your body. After the appointment, you will have a statutory reflection period of at least 7 days to decide in peace and quiet whether you want to give your consent.

The Evolution of You

Mummy Makeover
Step by step

To ensure you feel confident and well prepared, we have a clear and reliable process in place, from your first visit right through to your final follow-up appointment. Here, we’ll give you an overview of what a mommy makeover with us involves, from start to finish.

Consultation

Medical assessment and choice of method

Your first step is a consultation with one of our plastic surgery specialists. We will carry out a thorough medical assessment of your abdominal wall, skin elasticity and breast volume. Together, we will discuss which procedures should be combined to provide the most anatomically sound and natural results for your specific body.

Before your procedure

Preparing for a safe operation

Following the consultation, you will have a cooling-off period to allow you to review all the medical information at your leisure. Once you have decided to give your consent, the operation will be booked. You will receive detailed instructions regarding fasting, hygiene and the absolute requirement to remain completely smoke-free for four weeks before and after the procedure to ensure optimal wound healing.

The day of the operation

Safe care at the clinic

On the day of your operation, you will be admitted and will meet your plastic surgeon and anaesthetist for a final consultation. A combined procedure normally takes 3 to 5 hours. The operation is always performed under general anaesthesia in our operating theatres, which are built to the highest hospital standards to ensure maximum patient safety.

After the operation

Awakening and initial rest

Once the operation is complete, you will be closely monitored in our recovery room. You will be fitted with a supportive surgical bra and an abdominal support belt. A mommy makeover always includes an overnight stay at the clinic to ensure effective pain relief, intravenous fluids and continuous medical monitoring by our nurses.

Recovery & healing

Self-care and convalescence guidelines

Your post-mummy makeover recovery at home requires peace and rest. Your body will initially be swollen and feel tight, and you will need to walk with a slight stoop for the first few days to take the strain off the abdominal incision. Any form of exercise that raises your heart rate, as well as heavy lifting (including carrying small children), must be paused for at least four to six weeks so as not to strain the tissue.

Monitoring & results

Medical check-up and final assessment

We schedule regular check-ups with our nurses for wound care and suture removal during the first few weeks. A final follow-up appointment with your plastic surgeon is usually scheduled after six to twelve months. Only then, once all internal swelling has subsided and the scars have faded, is the final anatomical result assessed.

Results following a mommy makeover

Recovery following a mommy makeover is more extensive than after individual procedures, as the body is recovering from surgery on both the abdomen and the breasts at the same time. During the first few weeks, the surgical areas will be swollen and bruising will occur, particularly over the stomach and around the chest. The skin and the inner abdominal wall will initially feel very tight and taut, but the tissue gradually relaxes and adapts to the body’s reshaped contours. The final anatomical result is only medically assessed after six to twelve months, once all deeper internal swelling has completely subsided and the scars have begun to fade.

Our specialists in plastic surgery

At The Faculty, we have a team of hand-picked specialists in plastic surgery with cutting-edge expertise in body contouring and reconstructive surgery. Performing multiple procedures under the same anaesthesia places extremely high demands on the surgeon’s technical efficiency and anatomical understanding in order to minimise operating time and maximise safety.

Who is eligible for a Mommy Makeover?

To undergo cosmetic surgery, you must be in good general health. You should have stopped breastfeeding completely and waited at least six months since giving birth to allow your body time to recover physically. For combination surgery, BMI limits are particularly important for safety. Giving up smoking is a non-negotiable medical requirement, as nicotine dramatically increases the risk of poor healing of the long surgical scars on the stomach and breasts.

Complications and risks

All surgery carries risks, such as bleeding, infection or asymmetrical healing. The risks associated with a mommy makeover are slightly higher than those of individual procedures, precisely because of the longer operation time and the fact that several areas are healing at the same time. The risk of blood clots is mitigated with preventive medication and early mobilisation after the operation. Your surgeon will go through all the risks in detail during the consultation.

Other procedures in cosmetic surgery

We perform body contouring surgery for everyone. For men who experience an imbalance in the chest area, sometimes related to hormonal changes or weight loss, we offer gynaecomastia surgery to restore a flat and anatomically masculine chest.

Why consider surgery after giving birth?

A mommy makeover is designed for those who have experienced a significant change in their body’s basic anatomical structure that cannot be reversed through diet and exercise alone. The term is internationally established to describe a bespoke combination of procedures, often abdominoplasty and breast surgery, with the aim of restoring the body’s proportions in a single operation. However, the motivation behind seeking surgery is always your own. We listen carefully to your reasons and devise a realistic, medically sound plan that respects your anatomical conditions

Frequently asked questions about the mommy makeover

Here we have compiled some frequently asked questions about the mommy makeover

What does a mommy makeover involve?

A mommy makeover is not a standardised procedure, but rather an umbrella term for surgery designed to restore the body’s shape following pregnancy and breastfeeding. It usually consists of a tummy tuck (where loose skin is removed and separated abdominal muscles are sutured together) combined with a breast lift and/or breast augmentation. Depending on your anatomy, liposuction may also be included, and everything is performed under a single anaesthetic session.

How much does a mommy makeover cost?

As the procedure is fully tailored to your unique body and specific needs, the price varies. A common combination, such as a full tummy tuck and a breast lift, starts from around SEK 135,000. During your medical consultation, we will carry out a thorough assessment of the scope of the procedure and always provide you with an exact, transparent quote that includes anaesthesia, an overnight stay and follow-up appointments.

How long is the recovery period?

As the body has to recover from several surgical procedures at the same time, more rest is required than after a single operation. Most patients can return to light office work after two to three weeks. However, it is a strict medical requirement that you refrain from exercise that raises your heart rate and heavy lifting (including lifting and carrying small children) for at least four to six weeks so as not to strain the tissue or risk the wounds splitting open.

Can I get pregnant again after the procedure?

From a purely medical point of view, there is nothing to prevent either you or a future child from becoming pregnant following a tummy tuck or breast surgery. However, our specialists strongly recommend that you wait to have a mommy makeover until you feel your family is complete. A new pregnancy will most likely stretch the skin and abdominal muscles again, which will significantly affect your surgical results.

How visible will my scars be?

Surgery always leaves permanent scars, but we use advanced techniques to make them as discreet as possible. In a tummy tuck, the incision is made very low, just above the pubic bone, so that it can easily be concealed under most underwear and swimwear. With a breast lift, scars form around the areola and usually run vertically down towards the breast crease (a so-called anchor scar). The scars are red initially but gradually fade over the first year.

What are the weight and BMI requirements prior to the operation?

To minimise the risks of anaesthetic and healing complications during extensive combined procedures, we have very strict medical safety requirements. We recommend that you have maintained a stable target weight for at least six months prior to the operation. As a mommy makeover is not a weight-loss method, but a way of removing existing excess skin and restoring the body’s contours, an individual assessment of your BMI is always carried out during the consultation.

Why is it safer to have the procedure carried out in Sweden rather than abroad?

Combined procedures are technically demanding and require the very highest standards of medical safety, as well as continuous monitoring throughout a lengthy recovery period. Having surgery with us in Stockholm means that the procedure is carried out in hospital-grade facilities and that you are fully covered by Swedish patient insurance. In the event of any complications, you have immediate, physical access to your surgeon and nurses, a level of security that is lost if you choose to have surgery abroad.
