Understanding a Mummy Makeover
A mummy makeover consists of 2 main elements:
To start with, a tummy tuck aims to contour the stomach and waist. In a full tummy tuck we aim to tighten the abdominal wall muscles and stich them into position. This should result in a firmer abdominal wall and the waistline should become narrower. A partial tummy tuck aims to tighten the lower abdominal muscles through a smaller incision.
Breast augmentation aims to place breast implants into each breast in order to increase their size and volume. If you are looking to revitalise your breasts after pregnancy, it may be advisable to increase by one or two sizes to achieve the most natural look.
This form of increase may flatter your body size and overall frame; however, you may opt for a larger size. Usually, this surgery takes around 2 hours. It is important to assess whether a mummy makeover is right for you. At Ignite Medispa, we always offer a consultation prior to any procedure to discuss your options and which treatments or procedures may be appropriate.
Our experienced doctors will be with you every step of the way and are always happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding your mummy makeover.
