Key Takeaway
Two weeks after a Mummy Makeover — including procedures like breast implant removal with uplift, tummy tuck, and liposuction — patients start noticing improvements in body contour and breast shape. However, swelling is still common, and final results require patience, proper aftercare, and consistent use of compression garments. Individual anatomy influences surgical outcomes, and trusting the healing process is key to achieving optimal, lasting results.
Early Healing: 2 Weeks After Surgery
Undergoing a Mummy Makeover is a significant and empowering step toward reclaiming confidence in your body. Understandably, many patients are eager to see immediate results — but it’s important to appreciate the stages of healing along the journey.
Two weeks after surgery, important changes become visible. Let’s walk through what you can expect and why patience truly pays off.
At the two-week milestone, you’ll likely notice:
- Improved body contours
- Enhanced breast shape
- A firmer, more sculpted abdominal area
However, a fair amount of healing still lies ahead. Swelling is normal and expected. This is not your final result — but it’s an exciting glimpse of the transformation to come.
Breast Implant Removal and Breast Uplift Without Implants
In this patient’s case, a breast implant removal was performed along with a breast uplift — without inserting new implants.
👉 No new implants were used.
A key detail: this particular patient is naturally high-breasted. This means:
- Her breasts sit higher on her chest wall naturally.
- Post-surgery, the lifted breast tissue appears very full and positioned high.
If your own anatomy differs — for example, if your breasts naturally sit a little lower on your chest — your uplifted results will be just as beautiful, but uniquely tailored to your own body proportions. Both outcomes are perfectly normal and aesthetically pleasing.
Tummy Tuck, Abdominoplasty, and Liposuction: What to Know
Along with the breast procedures, this patient underwent:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Liposuction for further body contouring
In certain cases, such as:
- When the belly button is positioned higher than average
- When achieving a lower scar line is desired
- Or when the abdomen requires minimal adjustment
It may be necessary to create a small vertical scar beneath the belly button in addition to the usual horizontal scar.
This is a standard technique aimed at optimizing both contour and scar placement. Over time, surgical scars fade beautifully, often becoming barely noticeable, while the improved shape remains for the long term.
Managing Swelling and Supporting Healing
At this two-week stage:
- Swelling, especially around the abdomen, is still prominent.
- Wearing your compression garments consistently is essential.
- Staying hydrated, gently mobilizing, and following your surgeon’s instructions all promote smoother healing.
Swelling will gradually subside — revealing an even more defined, contoured figure over the coming weeks and months.
Remember: trust the process. The best results come with time, patience, and diligent aftercare.
