Elena always offers lengthy, detailed consultations so she can fully understand the aims you are requesting. Elena can then talk through the available options, results and after care as well as the operation itself. Following your initial consultation it is normal to have a second consultation, for you to ask any further questions, once you have had time to consider the different cosmetic surgery procedures. After the decision is made, we will carefully prepare for your surgical procedure.

During this consultation, you will have a fully informed consent form instructing what to do before and after surgery for the best outcome. The surgeon will also discuss the risks of complications, the importance of being in good general health, maintaining a stable weight, and following a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, to optimize your results and minimise complications.

Elena prides herself on taking the time to truly understand a patient’s aims and discussing what result will work best given the patient’s body shape and size. Although good results are expected, the body is not symmetric and almost everyone has some degree of unevenness, which may not be recognized in advance. The more realistic your expectations as to results, the better your results will be in your eye. You will have at least two consultations with Elena where she ensures that she meets your expectations and she will always try to achieve your desired results. See our Gallery for results.

Typically, patients are able to stop medication in about a week and begin to stand straight in 2-4 weeks. You should avoid all sport activities, housework such as hovering, driving, dog walking for at least 4-6 weeks following surgery and any weight lifting or strenuous activities for up to 8-12 months following the surgery.

The expected recovery time varies depending on the number and type of surgeries or operations performed, but regular check ups are important to monitor healing and recovery progress. Swelling and bruising are common but temporary side effects, and some pain and discomfort are expected during the initial recovery period. Elena will talk you through all the intricacies of the surgery, offering advice on how best to prepare and how to look after yourself during the recovery period. The visibility of your scars will depend on the technique used and on the biological response of your body to surgery and healing. Generally, the scars after this type of surgery are almost invisible by the end of the year. Patients can benefit from taking four-six weeks off work, and after you have seen Ms Prousskaia for your four weeks, follow up you can discuss beginning a gradual exercise and other routine activities.

The benefits of a mommy makeover include improved appearance, self confidence, and self esteem. The final result may take several months to become fully visible as swelling subsides and scars mature. Multiple surgeries or operations may be performed in one session, and while the risks of complications are slightly higher with combined procedures, they are managed by experienced surgeons to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

Preparing for your mummy makeover surgery is an essential step in ensuring a smooth experience and achieving the best possible results. Whether you are considering a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, mini tummy tuck, or a combination of other procedures, taking the time to get ready both physically and emotionally can make a significant difference in your recovery and final outcome.

One of the most important aspects of preparation is maintaining a stable weight before your surgery. Achieving and sustaining a healthy weight helps to optimize the results of your mummy makeover and reduces the risk of complications. Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and good hydration will not only support your body’s healing process but also help you maintain your results long after the procedure.

Elena will guide you through a thorough pre-operative assessment, which may include a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and detailed measurements of your body. This is the perfect time to discuss your goals for surgery, whether you are looking to restore your pre-pregnancy body, address excess skin, tighten abdomen muscles, or enhance your breasts with procedures like breast reduction or breast implants. Open communication with your surgeon ensures that your mummy makeover surgery is tailored to your unique needs and expectations.

In the weeks leading up to your surgery, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities that could strain your abdomen muscles or impact your overall health. Focus on gentle exercise, plenty of rest, and stress management to support your emotional well-being. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on how to prepare, including any necessary adjustments to your diet, medications, or daily routine.

Understanding the recovery time is also crucial. Depending on the extent of your makeover surgery and the number of plastic surgeries performed, you may need several weeks to heal fully. Planning ahead for time off work, arranging help at home, and preparing for limited activity during the initial recovery period will help you focus on healing and achieving the best results.

By following your surgeon’s advice and preparing carefully, you can look forward to the many benefits of mummy makeover surgery, from improved self confidence and self esteem to a rejuvenated appearance. Whether you are considering a mini tummy tuck, breast procedures, or a full mummy makeover, taking these steps will help you feel empowered and ready for your transformation.

Elena does not operate on patients that regularly smoke or vape. To be considered for this procedure you must refrain from smoking or vaping for 3 months before and after your surgery.
