Ghanem Mummy Makeover
The Ghanem Mummy Makeover in London
Diet and exercise rebuild fitness. They cannot close separated muscle, retighten stretched skin or restore breast volume that pregnancy has taken. The Ghanem Mummy Makeover addresses what changed structurally, through one personalised plan that combines surgical and non-surgical treatment in whatever proportion your body actually needs.

The Mummy Makeover Overview
A Mummy Makeover is a personalised combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to restore the abdomen, breasts and body contour after pregnancy and childbirth. At The Ghanem Clinic, the Mummy Makeover is built as a programme rather than a package, combining advanced surgical technique with regenerative and energy-based technology to rebuild abdominal strength, refine breast shape and restore tone.
Every plan is adapted to your anatomy and your goals, which is why no two look the same. Whether the concern is loose skin, weakened muscle, changes in breast position, or a loss of tone that has not responded to training, the pathway is designed around what pregnancy actually changed, and around your long-term wellbeing as much as the result in the mirror.
Choosing the Mummy Makeover
Choosing a Mummy Makeover in London at The Ghanem Clinic places your care with a team practising at the front of both aesthetic surgery and regenerative medicine, from our private clinic on Upper Wimpole Street. That range matters more here than in almost any other procedure, because post-pregnancy change rarely stays within one discipline. Surgical correction, energy-based contouring and pelvic floor restoration are assessed together, by clinicians who perform all three, rather than referred outwards one at a time.
The Mummy Makeover vs. Similar Procedures
The difference is sequencing, not novelty. A standalone tummy tuck corrects the abdomen. A breast lift corrects the breast. Treated separately, months apart, each addresses one symptom of the same event. The Mummy Makeover plans them as a single programme with a single recovery, so the abdomen, breasts and contour are balanced against each other rather than corrected in isolation and left to meet in the middle.
Why a Whole-Body Approach Matters
Pregnancy does not change one thing at a time. Skin, muscle, hormones and internal tissue shift together, which is why excess fat, sagging skin, weakened muscle, loss of breast volume and pelvic floor issues so often arrive as a set, and why treating one of them leaves the rest of the picture untouched. The Ghanem Mummy Makeover is planned across three fronts at once, so that visible and invisible changes are corrected in harmony.
Structure
Loose skin, stretched or separated abdominal muscle, and breasts that have lost volume and position. These are physical changes to the tissue itself, and they need physical correction.
Function
Urinary incontinence, pelvic floor weakness and vaginal laxity. Common after childbirth, rarely discussed, and treatable without surgery or general anaesthetic.
Contour
Tone, firmness and skin quality across the abdomen, waist and thighs, refined once the structural work is complete rather than layered over it.
Surgical, Non-Surgical, or Both
Your route is decided at consultation, once muscle separation, skin quality, breast position and pelvic floor function have been assessed. Most patients land somewhere between the two columns below rather than at one end of them.
| Surgical Route | Non-Surgical Route | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Loose skin, muscle separation and breast descent | Loss of tone, mild laxity and functional concerns |
| Core treatments | Tummy tuck, breast lift | EMsculpt Neo, EMTONE, EMPOWERRF |
| How it works | Excess skin removed, abdominal muscle wall tightened, breast tissue lifted and reshaped | Energy-based technology builds muscle, reduces fat, tightens skin and restores pelvic strength |
| Anaesthetic | General | None required |
| Time | 4–6 hours | 30 minutes per session |
| Course | Single procedure | Usually 4 sessions over 1–2 weeks |
| Return to work | 2 weeks + | Immediately |
| Full recovery | 6–12 weeks | No downtime |
| Results | Immediate, refining over several weeks | Build over weeks, continuing for months |
Tummy Tuck
Pregnancy separates the abdominal muscles down the midline and stretches the skin over them. Neither reverses with training, because neither is a fitness problem. A tummy tuck tightens the muscle wall and removes the excess skin, which is why it sits at the centre of most surgical plans and why it does more than any other element to determine how the waist reads afterwards. Where localised fat has settled at the flanks or waist, precision liposuction can be carried out in the same session to refine the contour.
Breast Lift
Volume and position change independently after pregnancy and breastfeeding, which is why a breast that has lost fullness and a breast that has descended are two different problems with two different answers. A breast lift restores shape and firmness by repositioning the tissue rather than simply reducing it. Where skin laxity extends beyond the abdomen and breasts after significant post-pregnancy weight loss, a body lift may form part of the wider plan.
EMsculpt Neo
You lie down and the applicators are strapped comfortably in place. HIFEM energy triggers deep muscle contractions while radiofrequency breaks down fat, across a single 30-minute session. It builds muscle and reduces fat at the same time, which is precisely why it earns its place here, because after pregnancy both have usually changed together.
EMTONE
A handpiece glides across the skin, combining mechanical vibration with radiofrequency heat. Patients describe it as a hot stone massage under firm pressure. It targets skin tone, firmness and the texture changes that follow pregnancy, with no discomfort and no downtime.
EMPOWERRF
The part of recovery that rarely gets said out loud. EMPOWERRF uses gentle, non-surgical energy-based modalities to tone internal muscle and tissue, addressing urinary incontinence, pelvic floor weakness and vaginal laxity. There are no incisions and no general anaesthetic. Most non-surgical treatments are completed as a course, usually four sessions spaced over one to two weeks.
Your Treatment Journey
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at our Wimpole Street clinic, where your specialist assesses your goals, your medical history and the changes you want addressed. This is where concerns are discussed openly, including the ones that are harder to raise, and where the combination that gives you the most balanced and natural outcome is identified.
Personalised Treatment Plan
A tailored plan is built from your assessment, which may include surgical procedures, non-surgical treatments, or a combination of both. Every element is matched to your lifestyle, your preferences and what your body needs, giving you a clear pathway rather than a list of options to weigh up alone.
Preparation
You receive clear guidance on how to prepare, written for your plan rather than issued as a standard list. Surgical plans include pre-operative checks. Non-surgical treatments need very little. Either way, you arrive fully informed and confident about what happens next.
Treatment
Your treatment is carried out by our expert team, using advanced surgical technique or technologies such as EMsculpt Neo, EMTONE and EMPOWERRF. Comfort, precision and safety are managed at every step, whichever route your plan takes.
Aftercare and Review
You leave with tailored aftercare instructions and scheduled review appointments. Healing and progress are monitored closely so the result develops smoothly and naturally, and the team remains available to you at every stage of it.
What the Results Look Like
Surgical results are visible immediately and refine over the following weeks as swelling settles. Once healed, they are long lasting, and they hold well where weight and lifestyle remain stable.
Non-surgical results build instead of arriving. EMsculpt Neo shows improvement in muscle tone and fat reduction after a few weeks, with change continuing for months afterwards. EMTONE visibly improves skin tone and firmness, often after the first session, reaching its full effect once the course is complete. EMPOWERRF offers noticeable improvements in pelvic strength, bladder control and intimate wellness, often after just one session.
Taken together, the aim is not to erase the evidence of motherhood. It is to return the strength, tone and shape that pregnancy altered, so the body you live in feels like yours again.
What to Expect
Your Mummy Makeover journey is designed to be clear and supported from start to finish, so you know what happens before treatment, what your procedure involves, and how your body recovers in the weeks that follow.
Preparation
You attend a consultation and complete any health checks your plan requires, then receive personalised preparation instructions. Surgical plans include pre-operative checks. This is what makes the treatment day feel routine rather than daunting.
The Treatment
Surgical treatment is performed under general anaesthetic and takes four to six hours, depending on which procedures are combined. Non-surgical sessions are comfortable, take around thirty minutes and need no downtime. Your safety and comfort are prioritised throughout.
Recovery and Results
You go home with detailed aftercare guidance and scheduled follow-ups. Surgical recovery continues over several weeks, with a return to work at around two weeks and full recovery between six and twelve. Non-surgical results develop gradually with no interruption to your routine.

Every patient journey is overseen with the same standard of clinical precision, discretion and bespoke care that defines our 360-degree approach to aesthetic medicine.
