Combined Surgery
Combined surgery, often referred to as a mummy makeover, involves a personalised combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address multiple areas of the body within a single treatment plan. This approach is commonly chosen by individuals who wish to restore body shape and contour following pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, significant weight changes or natural ageing.
Multiple Procedures, One Tailored Journey
Each combined procedure plan is carefully tailored to your individual needs and aesthetic goals. By addressing several areas during one surgical journey, combined surgery can support a more balanced overall result while reducing the need for multiple separate procedures.
Combined surgery can involve a selection of procedures depending on your individual requirements. These may include: Breast Augmentation, Fat transfer, Mastopexy, Abdominoplasty, Liposuction and Labiaplasty.
Breast Augmentation
Breast enlargement, also known as breast augmentation, is a procedure designed to increase breast size and enhance breast shape using implants or fat transfer techniques. The aim is to achieve a natural-looking result that complements your body proportions.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer involves removing fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs or flanks using liposuction and transferring it to another area of the body such as the breasts or buttocks. This technique can provide subtle, natural-looking enhancement using your body’s own fat.
Mastopexy
A breast uplift is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. The goal is to restore a firmer, more youthful breast contour and may be combined with breast augmentation or reduction if required.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. It is commonly chosen following pregnancy or significant weight loss to create a flatter and firmer abdominal profile. This procedure may also be combined with liposuction to enhance contouring.
Liposuction
Liposuction is used to remove stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body to improve shape and proportion. It is often included as part of combined surgery to refine contours and enhance overall results.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora and/or labia majora. It may be performed for both functional and aesthetic reasons, helping to improve comfort and confidence.
What to Expect
Your combined surgery journey begins with a personalised consultation with one of our experienced surgeons. During this appointment, your goals, medical history and areas of concern will be discussed in detail, allowing for a thorough assessment of the most suitable treatment options for you. Based on this, a tailored surgical plan will be developed, carefully designed around your individual anatomy and the results you hope to achieve. Your surgeon will guide you through the recommended procedures, explain how they work together and outline what you can expect in terms of recovery and outcomes.
Combined surgery offers the opportunity to address multiple areas of concern within a single, carefully planned treatment. For many patients, this can result in more balanced and comprehensive body contouring, while also allowing for a single recovery period rather than multiple separate procedures.
Every plan is created with careful consideration of your safety and wellbeing. Your surgeon will assess whether combining procedures is appropriate for you and ensure that you feel fully informed, comfortable and confident in your decision before moving forward.

Recovery and Aftercare
Aftercare and Recovery
Recovery following combined surgery will depend on the procedures performed and the extent of your treatment. As multiple areas of the body are treated at the same time, it is normal to experience swelling, bruising and some discomfort across the surgical areas during the early stages of healing. These effects will gradually improve as your body recovers. You will be advised to rest during the initial recovery period, with a gradual return to light daily activities as you begin to feel more comfortable. Gentle movement is often encouraged early on to support circulation but more strenuous activity should be avoided until advised by your surgeon.
Supportive garments, such as compression garments or surgical bras may be recommended depending on the procedures performed. These help to reduce swelling, support healing tissues and maintain your results as your body recovers. You will receive detailed aftercare guidance tailored to your specific treatment plan, including advice on wound care, activity levels and how to manage any discomfort. Follow-up appointments will be arranged to monitor your progress and to ensure that your recovery is progressing safely and as expected.
We understand that recovery after combined surgery can feel more demanding, both physically and emotionally. Our team will be here to support you throughout, offering reassurance, guidance and ongoing care to help you feel confident and well supported at every stage of your healing journey.
