The techniques associated with a mummy makeover vary depending on the patient’s anatomy, her desire, and how her body has evolved after one or more pregnancies.

In some cases, the procedures performed also include buttock surgery or genital cosmetic surgery.
After you submit your request for information, you will take an online consultation to make sure that you are a suitable candidate for the mummy makeover surgery. During this consultation, your complaints will be learned in detail and you will be asked if you have had any current health conditions or any surgery that you have experienced before.
Any information that affects the evaluation process will be useful at this stage, for us to define your case and prepare a customized treatment plan for you.
This is the stage where you choose one of the clinics and surgeons that we offer you according to your expectations, and also where we arrange the date and trip plan that suits you upon your preferred clinic/surgeon.
When you arrive at the clinic, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon who performs your mummy makeover surgery. Everything about your surgery will be discussed and decided by you and your surgeon during this consultation.
The surgeon will ask you some questions to try to understand your expectations and goals better and also make you understand what you should expect from your surgery and the potential risks or complications of the procedure.
You will also plan an individualized surgical and recovery plan that can be followed, especially during the first 24 to 48 hours after the surgery. At this stage, you need to find the answers to all the questions you have in mind.
The surgeon will explain the whole process clearly and try to simulate the results as much as possible, to feel comfortable and ready.
Before the surgery begins, your surgeon will conduct physical and blood tests to make sure that you are in acceptable health status for this combined surgery. The surgeon will determine all the measurements and body drawings with the help of computer-based tools.
Every patient is required to undergo medical tests to ensure that nothing can hinder the success of the surgery and if any risks are detected, surgeons try to eliminate them first.
Mummy makeover is not a procedure, it is a combination of different cosmetic procedures. The first step is to get in touch with your surgeon and decide on the procedures to follow. There are some options that you can consider in this regard:
If you opt for breast augmentation, you will have to choose between silicone and saline breast implants or a fat transfer to the breasts. Depending on the size and shape you are trying to achieve, the surgeon will make his recommendations during the consultation.
If you prefer to opt for liposuction, the surgeon will inform you about the latest liposuction technologies for you to choose the most appropriate one according to your needs.
Whatever form of surgery Mummy Makeover offers, the candidate’s preference will have priority when it comes to placing incisions. Surgeons pay maximum attention to keeping the incisions as small and invisible as possible.
Since Mummy makeover is not a single procedure, you should follow the recovery and aftercare instructions of the procedures to be performed according to your needs.
Whether you wear a special garment, how long you take a break from sportive activities, or in what position you can sleep depends entirely on which procedure you will enter. Don't worry, your doctor and clinic will inform you in the most detailed way about postoperative care and what to expect.
You should get all the lab testing and visit your surgeon to make him/her evaluate your current health status
Your surgeon may prescribe you a certain medication or may pause or adjust your current medications
You should stop smoking and balance your alcohol consumption
Avoiding taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements is also important because it can increase bleeding in the whole process of a mummy makeover.
