Post-Pregnancy Plastic Surgery

Pregnancy and childbirth can have lasting effects on the body, including stretched abdominal muscles, loose skin, changes in breast shape, and localised fat deposits. While these changes are entirely natural, some women choose to undergo post-pregnancy plastic surgery—often called a “mummy makeover“—to restore their body shape and confidence.

Dr Barnouti offers tailored surgical solutions to address common concerns after pregnancy, with a focus on achieving safe and natural-looking outcomes.

Post-pregnancy Surgery- Abdominoplasty

What Is Post-Pregnancy Surgery?

Post-pregnancy plastic surgery is a combination of procedures that may include:

  • Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): To remove excess skin, repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and flatten the midsection.
  • Liposuction: To reshape and slim areas like the waist, hips, thighs, or abdomen.
  • Breast Surgery: Breast lift, implants, or combined procedures to restore shape, volume, and symmetry.
  • Vaginal Tightening (Vaginoplasty): To restore the tone and structure of the vaginal walls and reduce laxity after natural childbirth.

Each procedure is tailored to suit your body and goals. You may choose to have one or several of these surgeries performed at the same time or staged over time, depending on your individual circumstances.

Why Choose Dr Barnouti?

Dr Barnouti is an experienced FRACS-accredited plastic surgeon with three clinics located in Chatswood, Glebe, and Parramatta. He routinely performs post-pregnancy procedures using proven techniques and modern technology.

Abdominoplasty and Liposuction

Dr Barnouti commonly combines a tummy tuck and liposuction (for the abdomen, waistline, or flanks) for enhanced contouring, often at no additional surgical fee.

Breast Surgery

An implant sizing trial is offered during consultation to help patients select the most appropriate implant shape and size for their anatomy and expectations. Breast lift, augmentation, or a combination of these techniques may be recommended.

Vaginoplasty

This procedure can help tighten and restore vaginal tissues that have been stretched during childbirth, potentially improving comfort, support, and muscle tone.

Post-Pregnancy Surgery FAQ

What Is the Recovery Like?2025-06-23T11:07:48+10:00

Recovery varies by procedure. Most patients require 2–4 weeks off work, with light activities resumed within a few days and full activity allowed after 6 weeks. A complete recovery guide will be provided to help you plan.

Can These Procedures Be Done Together?2025-06-23T11:08:25+10:00

Yes, depending on your individual needs and health, surgeries can often be safely combined. This may reduce total recovery time and cost.

Am I a Good Candidate for Post-Pregnancy Surgery?2025-06-23T11:05:54+10:00

You may be a suitable candidate if:

  • You are in good overall health
  • You are at or near your goal weight

Can I Get a Payment Plan for Cosmetic Plastic Surgery?2025-06-25T10:30:25+10:00

Sydney Plastic Surgery does not promote or advertise payment plans, in line with AHPRA’s Guidelines for Advertising Regulated Health Services.

However, patients seeking elective procedures such as breast augmentation or implants may explore personal financing options independently. Some individuals choose to fund their surgery through medical financing services or personal loans. While third-party cosmetic surgery finance providers are available online, we are not affiliated with, nor do we endorse, any specific provider, and we are unable to assist with applications.

Please note that Medicare and/or private health insurance may cover a portion of your procedure if the eligibility criteria are met.
