How is a Mummy Makeover carried out
at HR Plastic Surgery?
If you decide to have your Mummy Makeover in London/Hertfordshire with us at HR Plastic Surgery, this is what you can expect:
Consultation
Your first consultation is a crucial part of your journey and we make it a priority that you feel at ease throughout. Carried out by Mr Ridha personally, he will take time to listen carefully to understand your goals, before examining you in the presence of a chaperone.
He will then discuss the suitable treatment options available, including the risks and benefits, recovery times and expected outcomes. Mr Ridha is happy for you to attend with a family member or friend should you feel it necessary or for additional support.
Procedure
A Mummy Makeover consists of a combination of procedures performed under general anaesthetic and typically involves a 1 night hospital stay. The total amount of time needed to carry out your surgery will depend on the specific procedures you have chosen. The full details of your procedures will be explained to you at your initial consultation.
Recovery
Recovery time slightly varies depending on which procedures you have. Most patients are considered fully recovered after 8 weeks but final results can take from 3 to 6 months for all the swelling to resolve and the tissue to settle. It’s important to follow the advice of your surgeon’s postoperative guidelines to ensure you recover as quickly as possible.

All of the procedures involved in a Mummy Makeover are considered safe as long as they are carried out by a fully trained, qualified professional. Mr Ridha has years of experience and has carried out hundreds of these procedures, so you’re in very safe hands.
