Mummy makeover – for a new sense of well-being in your own body
A pregnancy changes a lot. Life, everyday routines – and sometimes your own body as well.
You feel strong and happy as a mother and yet you do not quite recognise yourself when you look in the mirror. An abdomen whose skin does not regress. A breast that has lost volume after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Changes that cannot always be influenced by exercise and a conscious diet alone.
At Park-Klinik Birkenwerder north of Berlin, we look together at which changes really bother you, which options make sense and whether an operation suits your ideas at all. Because it is not about looking exactly the way you used to. It is about feeling comfortable in your body today.
Is a mummy makeover right for me? (video in German)
In the video you learn for whom a mummy makeover may come into question. Whether it suits you is something we clarify together in a personal consultation.
Your consultation
The consultation – we listen first
In our consultation you can talk openly about what is on your mind – even if it is difficult at first to put your wishes into words. We examine skin, tissue and body contour and talk about previous pregnancies, breastfeeding, possible further wishes for children, pre-existing conditions, medication and your expectations. Together we develop a treatment that suits your life situation. We also tell you just as clearly what a procedure cannot achieve.
Method & alternatives
What is a mummy makeover?
A mummy makeover – also called a mommy makeover – is not a single operation but a treatment concept tailored to the patient. It can treat changes to the abdomen and breast after pregnancy, breastfeeding or changes in weight. Which steps make sense depends on your anatomy, your wishes and your state of health.
We discuss with you not only what is medically possible but also what really suits you. Sometimes a single correction is sufficient. Sometimes a combination can make sense. And sometimes we deliberately recommend separating procedures in time to limit the strain and risks.
Possible procedures
Which procedures can be part of it?
Tummy tuck
If excess skin does not regress despite exercise and a stable weight, a tummy tuck can improve the contour. Whether a mini tummy tuck is sufficient or a more comprehensive tightening makes sense depends on the findings. A possible rectus diastasis is also taken into account during the examination.
Breast lift
After pregnancy or breastfeeding, the breast can lose firmness or shape. An individually planned breast lift can reshape the breast. We explain the course of the scars openly and realistically.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat (BEAULI™)
If it is mainly volume that is missing, your own body fat can be an option. Our clinic has many years of experience with water-jet-assisted fat harvesting and autologous fat treatments. Whether your desired result can be achieved with autologous fat is something we clarify personally; part of the transplanted fat may be broken down again.
Breast augmentation with implants
If autologous fat is not suitable or not desired, implants can be discussed. The decision is made after comprehensive information about benefits, possible follow-up procedures and implant-specific risks.
Liposuction
Stubborn fat deposits on the abdomen, waist or flanks can be additionally contoured in suitable cases. Liposuction does not replace skin tightening and is not a method for losing weight in general.
Intimate surgical concerns
Changes in the intimate area may also be raised. Whether a separate treatment, such as a labiaplasty, makes sense is something we discuss discreetly; it is not automatically part of the mummy makeover.

Healing and aftercare
Healing, everyday life and realistic expectations
Aftercare and recovery – give your body time
After a mummy makeover your body needs sufficient time to recover. Slight swelling, bruising or a feeling of tension are quite normal at first and usually subside gradually.
How long the recovery phase lasts depends on the treatments carried out. In the first weeks you should rest physically and avoid heavy lifting. Especially with small children at home, it helps to organise support for this time.
Our experienced team also accompanies you personally after the operation. You receive individual recommendations on wound care, compression garments, exercise and the gradual return to your usual everyday life and to sport.
The scars are placed as inconspicuously as possible and often fade over time. The final result develops over several months.
Good to know
Ideally, breastfeeding has ended and your body weight is largely stable. We also take a possible further wish for children into account in the joint treatment planning.
Our aim: a relaxed and well-supported recovery phase so that you can feel completely at ease in your body again, step by step.
Risks & safety
Risks and safety – open and responsible
Your safety matters to us
A mummy makeover is a surgical procedure that requires careful planning and individual consultation. As with any operation, risks and complications can occur, for example secondary bleeding, infections, wound healing disorders, changes in sensation or scarring. Depending on the treatment chosen, further specific risks may arise.
At Park-Klinik Birkenwerder we attach great importance to comprehensive information, careful preparation and personal care. Together with you we discuss which treatments can sensibly be combined and whether carrying them out in one or several stages is advisable.
Our aim is a natural, harmonious result – with your health and safety coming first.
Costs
What does a mummy makeover cost?
- Mummy makeover from 2.100 €
Final price after examination and treatment planning, depending on the combined procedures. Anaesthesia and, if applicable, an overnight stay or compression garments are extra.
Every patient brings different physical conditions and wishes. A mummy makeover costs from 2.100 € with us. We determine the final price after the examination, because it results from the procedures actually planned, the duration of surgery and anaesthesia, a possible overnight stay and other agreed services.
What counts is your personal cost plan after the consultation. Anaesthesia and, if applicable, an overnight stay or compression garments can cause additional costs.
What does the initial consultation cost?
The initial consultation costs 50 € (according to the current price overview of Park-Klinik). You will find an overview of our treatments in the price list.
Is aftercare after mummy makeover included in the price?
Yes, at Park-Klinik Birkenwerder near Berlin, regular aftercare after your mummy makeover is already included in the agreed treatment price. This includes all planned follow-up appointments as well as additional interim check-ups – at no extra charge.
Because your care with us does not end with the operation. Our experienced specialists accompany you personally throughout the entire healing phase, monitor the healing process and are at your side with any questions or uncertainties. For your safety, optimal healing and a lastingly beautiful result.
Does health insurance cover the costs of a mummy makeover?
Whether a health insurance company covers the costs depends on the medical indication, the individual requirements and the commitment of benefits.
The Park-Klinik Birkenwerder is a state-licensed private clinic according to § 30 GewO and does not bill statutory health insurance. If you wish to have the treatment carried out through your statutory health insurance, please contact an appropriately approved hospital already for the consultation.
Private health insurance companies can partially or fully cover the costs of a medically necessary treatment depending on the tariff. A written clarification should be obtained before the operation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the mummy makeover
Is a mummy makeover a single operation?
Not necessarily. The term describes an individual combination of different treatments. Whether these can be carried out in one operation or are better divided depends on the extent and on your state of health.
When is the right time after pregnancy and breastfeeding?
When the body has regressed sufficiently, breastfeeding has ended and your weight remains as stable as possible. We determine the suitable time individually.
Do I always need a tummy tuck and breast surgery?
No. A mummy makeover is not a fixed package. We recommend only those procedures that make sense for your findings and that you wish for.
Can the breast look fuller again without implants?
For selected patients, autologous fat treatment according to BEAULI™ may be suitable. With pronounced laxity, a tightening may additionally be necessary.
Will there be scars?
A surgical tightening leaves scars. Their position and length depend on the technique. We explain the expected course to you in advance.
How long will I be out of action?
That depends on the extent, your job and your everyday life. Especially with small children, you should arrange support early on and avoid heavy lifting at first.
Can I still become pregnant after the mummy makeover?
A later pregnancy is possible in principle but can change the surgical result. We take a further wish for children into account in the planning.
What does the mummy makeover cost at Park-Klinik?
A mummy makeover costs from 2.100 € with us. We determine the final price in an individual cost plan after the examination and after the desired procedures have been determined.
Is the mummy makeover dangerous?
Every operation has risks. Several combined procedures can increase the physical strain and individual complication risks. We inform you in detail and, if necessary, recommend a staged approach.
How natural will the result be?
Our aim is a harmonious change that suits your body. We cannot guarantee a particular result; we discuss possibilities and limits based on your findings.
