We know that every mum and every pregnancy is different. But typically, certain areas of your body are affected by pregnancy and childbirth, leaving you feeling less confident and wanting to cover up.
A mummy makeover can transform how you look and feel, leaving you feeling happy and full of confidence about your shapely, youthful appearance.
Mummy makeover benefits include:
At The Levant Clinic, we understand that time can be tight, so we book your appointments with your busy lifestyle in mind. Our surgeons put you at ease during the consultation, so you’ll feel relaxed when you’re with us. You will also hear about our pioneering wound closure technique, where the surgeon doesn’t use a drain. It means you can immediately shower, and the special dressings do not need to be changed for two weeks.
Your pre-op meeting is gives you the chance to ask as many questions as you like about your mummy makeover surgery and what we can achieve. Our team provides a direct link to your surgeon, and we are here to make your mummy makeover experience as successful as your body transformation.
Our preparation for your mummy makeover involves:

Your mummy makeover will take place in a CQC-registered hospital. Your surgical team will get you ready for your surgery.
A mummy makeover is performed under a general anaesthetic with added local anaesthetic for your comfort and safety. The procedure takes two to three hours and you’ll stay in hospital overnight. Of course, every person and surgery is different, but this is a general overview of what will happen:
One of our world-renowned surgeons, Mr Jallali, has developed a wound closure technique, so you can shower the same day. Next, our surgeons apply dressings and place you in a support (compression) garment and post-op bra. Following the procedure, you will spend some time in the recovery suite before being taken back to your hospital room.
We will put you at ease by giving you post-operative advice before leaving the hospital. You must understand the aftercare you need and what to expect in your recovery process. Our guidance includes medication information, physical activity, showering, wearing your post-operative bra and compression garment, sleeping and any other relevant information your surgeon needs to tell you. You’ll be discharged the day after your procedure and we recommend that a friend or family member takes you home, as you won’t be able to drive.
Our expert team will regularly contact you to support your recovery and are the link between you and your surgeon.
You can exercise six weeks after your mummy makeover.
Most patients take two weeks to recover before returning to work, but this may be a little longer if your job involves manual labour.
You should wear the compression garment and support bra for six weeks, apart from in the shower or bath.
You can start driving once you have stopped taking pain medication and can perform an emergency manoeuvre (stop), usually about two weeks after the procedure.
You’ll need a week’s grace for any travel. We advise waiting four weeks before boarding a plane – and up to six weeks for a long-haul flight.
You’ll notice a difference immediately, but as your bruising and swelling reduce in the following weeks, the results will continue to improve. Your breasts will be fuller and more youthful, and your tummy will be flatter, with a more contoured shape. Your body will appear younger and firmer and boost your confidence.
You will have scars after surgery, but they will fade gradually over the first year. Breast scars are mostly hidden in the crease of your breast and around the areola. We position tummy tuck scars within or below the bikini line.
“I believe it was a blessing in disguise that I had to cancel my previous surgeries because I found the perfect surgeon who really can deliver. I will recommend Mr Jallali to all my friends and family and am now planning to undergo my second surgery with him.”

All operations involve some risk, but it’s relatively low in mummy makeover surgery.
There are possible complications with mummy makeover surgery. They include infection, bleeding, abnormal scarring, seroma (fluid collection), loss of umbilicus, numbness and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Occasionally some excess skin and fat remain at the corners of the scars, referred to as ‘dog ears’. Our surgeons can remove these under local anaesthetic when the scar has healed. Your surgeon will explain the risks and complications associated with your operation in more detail during the consultation.
At The Levant Clinic, all our surgeons are accredited by the GMC and hold the FCRS (Plast) qualification. We take the utmost care to ensure any risks are minimised.
We have partnered with Plim to offer tailored finance options that help you pay for your procedure – and we are clear about the costs of surgery at every stage.

It is always a good idea to have a list of questions you may want to ask in advance. But we understand that there’s often much to discuss, so if you forget to ask about something in the consultation, you can contact the Levant team, who can return to your surgeon and get the answer.
