Added on 27th September 2019
Ideal Patients for a Mummy Makeover Surgery
For patients that have recently completed families and are looking to remove excess skin gained over time, this vlog discusses a mummy makeover surgery which could be an option for you. A mummy makeover is particularly ideal for those who went through a lot of weight loss and weight gain during their pre and post pregnancy period. As a result, this can impact the appearance of the breasts and abdomen.
Options Available in Mummy Makeover Surgery
Fleur de lis Abdominoplasty
For patients that are looking to remove as much tissue as possible, particularly from the upper part of the abdominal area, a mummy makeover can include the option of having a fleur de lis abdominoplasty procedure. This entails incisions being made horizontally and vertically across the abdomen which helps to remove as much skin as possible compared to a more traditional abdominoplasty procedure.
Breast rejuvenationÂ
At the same time, the breasts can also be rejuvenated via a breast lift. If necessary, the fat that has been removed from the abdomen can be transferred to the breast through a fat transfer. This can help to make the appearance of the breasts more aesthetically pleasing and if the fleur de lis abdominoplasty is chosen, this provides more fat to transfer to the breasts.
Mummy Makeover Before and After Case Study
A mummy makeover before and after case study is provided of a patient who had extremely excessive skin in the upper abdomen. There is also a decrease in the upper pole of the breasts and a droop in the areola complex.
By comparing the images, we can see that after performing the fleur de lis procedure and removing skin from the abdomen, there is less excess skin in the stomach and a lift in the areola complex and upper pole of the breasts. This overall shows an aesthetically pleasing result.
How long does the surgery take?
It should be advised that performing a mummy makeover surgery can take up to 3.5 – 4 hours long depending on the patient. It’s important to run through the pros and cons of the surgery in your consultation.
