What is Mummy Makeover?
A Mummy Makeover involves a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to help restore a women’s body after changes from pregnancy and childbirth.
The Consultation
Prior to your face-to-face consultation with me I will usually see you for an initial complimentary video consultation. This is a convenient way to make sure that you are a suitable candidate for surgery before moving forward to the ‘face to face’ appointment. The face-to-face consultation can take place at ether our London or Cambridge clinics and is intended to be a relaxed, welcoming setting that will put you at ease and encourage you to openly discuss the concerns about your body along with your goals.
The face-to-face consultation can take up to an hour and during the appointment a comprehensive medical history and examination will be carried. You are welcome to bring along a friend or member of your family if you wish and nurse chaperone can also be present during the appointment. Medical photographs will be taken, which are used as a record of your progress and help to plan your surgery. These are stored in your confidential medical records.
Having had many years of experience undertaking Mummy Makeovers, I am well-placed to recommend which procedures will best enable you to achieve your desired outcomes. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions at this point and I will discuss the potential risks and expected outcomes of each procedure.
The consultation helps me to get a clear understanding of your concerns and enables me to put together a tailored package to address your individual needs. As undertaking this type of surgery is a big decision, I always offer a minimum of two consultations prior to surgery. This gives you time to reflect on the information I have given you and address any further concerns or worries you may have.
The Procedure
The mummy-makeover procedure is a combined procedure which frequently involves surgery to the breasts and the abdomen. Both selected procedures are usually carried out at the same time. Some common procedures included in a mummy makeover are:
1. Breast augmentation: This procedure involves the placement of implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, which may have lost volume or sagged after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
2. Breast lift: Also known as mastopexy, a breast lift is performed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. It can restore a more youthful and perky appearance to the breasts. Sometimes, a breast lift is carried out at the same time as breast augmentation. If done together, this is called an augmentation-mastopexy.
3. Tummy tuck: Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, tightens the underlying muscles, and creates a flatter and more toned abdomen. It can address the stretched and loose skin that often occurs after pregnancy. Frequently, a tummy tuck is combined with liposuction. If carried out together, this is called a lipo-abdominoplasty.
4. Liposuction: Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, or buttocks. It can help contour and reshape areas that may have accumulated stubborn fat deposits during pregnancy.
Aftercare & Results
Following your surgery, you will usually stay in hospital for one night. During your stay you will be looked after by experienced specialist nurses that will make sure you are comfortable and have everything that you need. In the morning after your surgery, I will come and check on you before you go home and answer any questions that you may have. Before you go home, you will be given information about the ‘do’s and don’t’s’ in the first few days and weeks following surgery.
My nursing staff and I are always available to address any concerns and your recovery will be closely monitored through a series of follow-up appointments, typically made at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year after surgery.
It is expected that you will be up and about from the first day of your surgery, but it can take a few weeks before you are fully back to your usual everyday routines and activities.
It is likely that you will need to take some time off work and to gradually increase your activity levels until your body feels comfortable to move around more easily. Although you will see an immediate result following surgery, the outcome may not be visible for several weeks as the swelling takes time to resolve.
What our patients think
Four weeks ago I had upper eyelid and brow lift surgery and I am absolutely delighted with the results already. Mr Abood and his team looked after me really well. So much so, I am planning to return and have my lower lids done, once my upper lids have completely healed. I attach a before and after photo of my eyes to show what a difference the surgery has made to my lids and why I am so pleased with the results.
My upper blepharoplasty procedure was a relaxing experience throughout and it went very smoothly, thanks to Mr Abood. I am extremely pleased with the results so far, after only 8 days. Everyone at the clinic made this a very pleasant experience. Thank you.
I can honestly say that Mr Abood is extremely personable. He made me feel at ease from my 1st meeting with him. He explained what to expect from my surgery very well. I never felt rushed during appointments, I really felt reasured when I asked questions and he knew I was worried about going to London for my breast argumentation and lower blasphemy . He took time to video call me before my operations to offer reassurance .
I can not thank him more for his kindness and professionalism.
All in all I am extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend him . I have discussed another surgery with him for later in the year . I would not choose a different surgeon, Mr Abood and his staff are fantastic.

I had Breast Augmentation and Uplift with Dr Abood 31st July 2024 at Weymouth Street Hospital in London. This has been the easiest and most stress free procedure I've ever had. Dr Abood and Justine are so kind and lovely, I felt totally at ease and welcome from my first appointment. The aftercare is incredible, nothing is too much and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results so far. I cannot recommend Dr Abood enough. So thankful for everything!
I would like to thanks Mr Abood got an incredible experience start to finish. I was super anxious about surgery but also wanted a breast augmentation for a very long time. Mr Abood made me feel at ease all the way through and I knew I was in safe hands. The confidence this has given me is amazing and I wish I had done it sooner. Thank you so much.
Dr Abood has been brilliant from the first consultation up until my final appointment. He is down to earth and really understood what I wanted - making me feel at ease straight away. Any questions or concerns I had before and after surgery, he was quick to answer and solve. I would definitely recommend him.
Highly recommended.
Very patient, kind and sincere.
He was always there to answer to any pre- and post op concerns.
The procedure itself gave me life changing results and I regret waiting to do it so long.
Thank you very much

I had inverted nipple correction surgery on my right nipple with Dr Abood around 5 weeks ago.
I am really happy with the result of my inverted nipple correction, the nipple has healed really quickly with very minimal to no bruising and looks like it was never even inverted in the first place! I am very pleased with the result as I have always been so self conscious about having 1 inverted nipple.
Thank you Dr Abood, who was professional, skilled and knowledgeable who made me feel at ease during the surgery and followed up promptly on my after care.
The whole process was fantastic, from consultation to surgery. I could not recommend Dr Abood highly enough.
