BODY PROCEDURES
ABOUT THE
MOMMY MAKEOVER
A mommy makeover is a customised surgical approach designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body by addressing multiple areas affected by childbirth.
This comprehensive procedure typically combines breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction to target excess fat and skin while enhancing the breasts’ shape and volume.
The result is a rejuvenated and contoured figure, allowing women to regain their confidence and embrace their post-pregnancy body.
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
THE MOMMY MAKEOVER
PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
On the day of your surgery, you will check in at the surgical facility, where the admission process for your procedure will begin.
Here’s what you can expect:
ADMISSION
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted, admitted, and undergo a pre-operative assessment by clinic staff and your anaesthetist to ensure you are prepared for your procedure.
PREPARATION
After changing into surgical attire, Dr Frank will do any necessary preoperative skin markings and the nurses will accompany you to the operating theatre, where the anaesthetist will administer anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
BREAST SURGERY
Depending on your goals, Dr Frank may perform a breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. The chosen procedure will involve incisions that allow access for the implants or adjustment of breast tissue.
TUMMY TUCK
A tummy tuck will remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tighten the underlying muscles. Incisions will be made along the lower abdomen, and the remaining skin will be pulled taut for a smoother appearance.
LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction may be performed in conjunction with the above procedures to remove stubborn fat deposits from areas such as the hips, thighs, or abdomen. Small incisions will be made, and a cannula will be used to extract the fat.
AFTERCARE
Following your procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery ward until you are ready for discharge. An overnight stay at the aftercare facility may be required for professional care. Depending on your needs, an additional overnight stay can be arranged for added comfort.

MOMMY MAKEOVER
RECOVERY
Following surgery, patients are advised to follow their personalised recovery guidelines from Dr Frank to ensure a smooth postoperative journey.
MANAGE SWELLING
AND BRUISING
Expect significant swelling and bruising in the breast, abdomen, and areas where liposuction was performed. This can last for several weeks, with swelling peaking around the second week post-surgery.
WEAR COMPRESSION
GARMENTS
Dr Frank will provide compression garments for both the abdomen and breasts. It is crucial to wear these as directed to reduce swelling, support healing tissues, and ensure proper contouring.
AVOID STRAINING
AND LIFTING
Refrain from heavy lifting and strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks. Gentle walking is encouraged to promote circulation but avoid abdominal strain during this time.
PAIN AND
DISCOMFORT
Dr Frank will provide a tailored pain management plan to help you manage any discomfort during recovery, ensuring you are as comfortable as possible.
