Mummy Makeover Surgery: What to Expect
For some women, the option of labiaplasty is important, especially after problematic childbirth. This is a sensitive topic to discuss and can cause embarrassment, but in the right patient, it is a very successful operation with clear functional and cosmetic benefits.
A mummy makeover targets the areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth, focusing on the abdomen and breasts. It often includes procedures such as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast surgery, either performed together or in stages. The goal is to help women regain a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Mat Griffiths specialises in tailored surgeries to meet individual body contouring needs, helping restore confidence after childbirth.

Mummy Makeover Surgery After Childbirth
What Happens During Mummy Makeover Surgery?
This surgery usually combines procedures aimed at rejuvenating the body. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal area, with a discreet scar positioned low on the abdomen. Breast surgery can involve implants or a lift to reshape the breasts.
For those needing both volume and lift, combined breast augmentation and lift (augmentation mastopexy) may be recommended. In labiaplasty surgery, excess tissue or problematic scars can be addressed. Mat Griffiths ensures each surgery plan is customised to your specific goals.
