Postpartum (Abdominoplasty & Breast Augmentation)
For mothers considering surgical options to address physical changes after pregnancy, our surgeons offer tailored procedures, such as abdominoplasty combined with breast surgery (augmentation or mastopexy).
OVERVIEW
Postpartum surgery refers to a combination of procedures designed to address physical changes that may occur after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Common options include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to address excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles and breast surgery, such as augmentation or mastopexy, to address changes in breast volume or position.
This surgery is tailored to the unique needs of each patient, with a focus on achieving functional and proportional outcomes. A personalised surgical plan will be developed during your consultation to address your individual concerns and goals.
JOURNEY
Consultation
During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your goals, evaluate the changes to your body after pregnancy, and create a personalised treatment plan that may include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or lift.
Preparation
Before surgery, patients receive clear instructions regarding fasting, medications and any necessary lifestyle adjustments. These guidelines are intended to support appropriate surgical preparation and post-operative care.
Surgery
This procedure typically involves a combination of abdominoplasty and breast surgery (such as augmentation or mastopexy) performed in a single operative session under general anaesthesia. It is generally considered by patients who have experienced anatomical changes following pregnancy and childbirth. Each surgical plan is tailored to the individual’s needs and anatomy and discussed in detail during the consultation process.
Recovery
After surgery, you’ll be monitored before going home with detailed post-operative care instructions. Recovery time will vary based on the procedures performed, but most patients can return to light activities within a few weeks. For more detailed information, please visit our Risks & Recovery page.
Follow-up
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to assess your healing and the results. Your surgeon will provide ongoing support and guidance as you recover.
