Mummy Makeover Surgery Sydney — Post-Pregnancy Surgery with Dr Barnouti

A mummy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. At Sydney Plastic Surgery, mummy makeover surgery is performed by Dr Laith Barnouti — Specialist Plastic Surgeon FRACS — across three clinics in Glebe, Chatswood and Parramatta. Each plan is tailored to your anatomy and goals: most mummy makeovers combine a tummy tuck, breast surgery and liposuction, though the exact procedures depend on your individual assessment.

What is Mummy Makeover Surgery?

Mummy makeover surgery refers to a personalised combination of procedures performed in a single operating session to address the physical changes that pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight fluctuation leave on the body. The term is widely used in Australia and is also referred to as a mommy makeover surgery in the United States — both describe the same clinical concept: combining procedures across the breast, abdomen and sometimes the intimate area to comprehensively restore the body in one recovery period.

The most common combination in a mummy makeover is a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) paired with breast surgery — either a lift, augmentation, or both. Liposuction of the waist, flanks or thighs is frequently included to refine the overall silhouette. In some cases, vaginal rejuvenation surgery is added for patients experiencing laxity following natural childbirth.

The surgical plan is decided during your consultation with Dr Barnouti. There is no standard mummy makeover package — the right combination depends on your anatomy, your goals, and your overall health. This page outlines the most common procedures, the costs, recovery, and what to expect at each stage.

Dr Barnouti offers tailored surgical solutions to address common concerns after pregnancy, with a focus on achieving safe and natural-looking outcomes.

What Does Mummy Makeover Surgery Include?

Post-pregnancy plastic surgery is a combination of procedures that may include:

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): To remove excess skin, repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and flatten the midsection.
• Liposuction: To reshape and slim areas like the waist, hips, thighs, or abdomen.
• Breast Surgery: Breast lift, implants, or combined procedures to restore shape, volume, and symmetry.
• Vaginal Tightening (Vaginoplasty): To restore the tone and structure of the vaginal walls and reduce laxity after natural childbirth.

Each procedure is tailored to suit your body and goals. You may choose to have one or several of these surgeries performed at the same time or staged over time, depending on your individual circumstances.

Abdominoplasty and Liposuction

For patients seeking comprehensive body contouring, Dr Barnouti often performs abdominoplasty concurrently with liposuction. This integrated approach allows for the surgical removal of excess skin while utilising liposuction to address localised fat deposits in the abdomen, waistline, or flanks. By combining these techniques, the procedure aims to refine the overall silhouette and provide a more sculpted surgical outcome.

Breast Augmentation and Surgery

Choosing the right approach for breast augmentation requires a detailed clinical assessment. During your consultation, an implant sizing trial is provided to help you evaluate the various shapes and volumes available, ensuring the selection aligns with your physical anatomy and surgical objectives. Depending on your specific needs, Dr Barnouti may recommend breast augmentation as a standalone procedure or in combination with a breast lift to address both volume loss and tissue laxity.

Vaginoplasty: Understanding Vagina Tightening Surgery

Vaginoplasty, often referred to as vagina tightening surgery, is a reconstructive procedure designed to address the stretching and laxity of the vaginal canal. This common concern often arises following childbirth or as a result of the natural ageing process, where the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues may lose their structural integrity.

By choosing vagina tightening surgery, patients can seek to restore muscle tone and improve the overall support of the vaginal walls. The procedure involves the surgical tightening of the pelvic muscles and the removal of redundant vaginal lining to achieve a firmer, more supported result.

Key Considerations for Vagina Tightening Surgery:

• Restoration: Focuses on repairing the stretched vaginal muscles.

• Support: Enhances the structural integrity of the pelvic floor.

• Functionality: Addresses clinical laxity to improve comfort and muscle control.
