Mommy Makeover | Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of various treatments in order to remove or optimise the “unwanted traces” of a pregnancy, giving birth, and/or prolonged breastfeeding. Which treatments these may be is very different, since the shape and extent of physical changes can be very different from one woman to the next as well.

Basically, the Mommy Makeover is appropriate for all women who are unhappy about their body after pregnancy or the birth of their child and who want their former figure back. However, there are a few preconditions for a Mommy Makeover which are relevant especially for determining the right time for the treatment. Breastfeeding should be over for at least 6 months, for instance, and you should already have reached your desired weight again.

The typical treatments which we conduct during a Mommy Makeover include breast lift and/or breast augmentation or reduction, abdominoplasty or abdominal reconstruction, thigh lift and liposuction. These can be performed in practically any combination so that each Mommy Makeover is very individual and adapted to your personal needs. The aim is always to get rid of new problem zones and to optimise your body silhouette.

It is important that you have enough time for healing between the respective operations. So please plan and organise your family life accordingly, that helps prevent any unnecessary stress. If you have to take medication regularly, please tell us about this in advance, as early as possible. Some medication must be discontinued before an operation. This is the case with Aspirin and other medication, among them also nutritional supplements, which go along with an increased inclination for bleeding and which hence must not be taken for at least 2 weeks before the operation.

The basis for each Mommy Makeover is the comprehensive personal consultation before each treatment; there, we will discuss in detail your wishes for optimisation and the possible treatment methods. Together, we will define a treatment plan including the individual operations which will then be performed step by step.

The sequence of a Mommy Makeover is very individual and thus very different in each case. Often, the treatment will include a breast lift, sometimes combined with a breast enlargement or breast reduction. In many cases, an abdominoplasty is also desired, sometimes even an intimate surgery (e.g. labia correction).

After each operation, it is important that you give yourself enough time to rest in order to support the wound healing process. Depending on the respective operation, please plan for 1–3 weeks in each case. You will have to refrain from going to the sauna or doing sports for even longer than that. Additional concrete aftercare recommendations depend on the respective operation.

This depends on the kind of operation performed. For instance, after a liposuction or intimate surgery, in general no visible scars will remain; and even in case of an abdominoplasty or breast lift, the incision can be placed in such a way as to leave nearly invisible scars. At our Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we prefer, wherever possible, methods that leave as few scars as possible, so that the surgical incisions will later on be practically invisible.

Any surgical operation comes with certain general risks which can, however, be minimised thanks to the professional performance by competent and experienced experts. Still, it can never be completely excluded that there may be swellings or haematomas which will, however, in general disappear by themselves after a certain time. Very rarely there are post-operational bleeding, wound healing issues, or infections. This risk is minimised even further by our closely coordinated aftercare appointments and our intensive aftercare following any operation.

That depends on just which kind of operation was performed. After some operations (e.g. breast enlargement, abdominoplasty) it is necessary to wear compression underwear for about 4–6 weeks. When discussing your treatment plan, we will of course also inform you about everything you need to bear in mind after each individual operation, and we will give you personalised recommendations for optimal aftercare.

Each Mommy Makeover follows a customised treatment plan which comprises several operations. That’s why concrete cost projections can only be made following an individual consultation. Our price list will give you a rough first estimate. After each initial consultation, we will draw up an individual offer for your personal Mommy Makeover at the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery for you.
