Mummy makeover surgery in Manchester by Mr Reza Nassab FRCS Plast — Consultant Plastic Surgeon on the GMC Specialist Register. Combines tummy tuck, breast surgery and liposuction in a single procedure. Surgery at Deansgate Hospital, central Manchester. Consultations at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, M15 4YB.
If you are considering a mummy makeover in Manchester, the most important decision you will make is choosing your surgeon. A mummy makeover — also known as a mommy makeover or post-pregnancy body contouring — combines multiple surgical procedures tailored to reverse the physical changes of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The result depends almost entirely on the skill, judgement, and specialist qualifications of the surgeon performing it.
Mr Reza Nassab is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon holding the FRCS (Plast) fellowship and listed on the GMC Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery — the highest qualification a plastic surgeon can hold in the United Kingdom. He performs mummy makeover surgery at Deansgate Hospital, a boutique private surgical facility in central Manchester, with consultations at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, M15 4YB.
With over 275 five-star patient reviews and a reputation built on natural-looking, individually tailored results, Mr Nassab is one of the most trusted names in post-pregnancy body surgery in Manchester and Cheshire. No two mummy makeovers are the same — every plan is built around your specific anatomy, your goals, and your life.
A mummy makeover involves multiple complex procedures performed under a single anaesthetic. Choosing an FRCS (Plast) surgeon means choosing the highest level of specialist training available in the UK — someone with the breadth of expertise to safely and effectively perform combined body and breast surgery in the same sitting.
Mr Nassab is a member of BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) and BAPRAS (British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons). The title plastic surgeon is a protected medical specialty requiring formal GMC Specialist Register listing — unlike the unregulated title of "cosmetic surgeon," which has no minimum training requirement in the UK.
Every mummy makeover in Manchester is planned around your unique anatomy. Mr Nassab will discuss which combination of procedures is right for you — whether that is a tummy tuck alone, a combined breast and body procedure, or a more comprehensive transformation — and will guide you honestly towards the most appropriate plan for your body and goals.
FRCS (Plast) — Specialist Register
Mr Nassab holds the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in Plastic Surgery and is listed on the GMC Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery — the legal standard required to practise as a consultant plastic surgeon in the UK. This is the most important credential to check when choosing a mummy makeover surgeon in Manchester. It cannot be self-awarded and requires years of surgical training under NHS and academic oversight.
BAAPS & BAPRAS Member
Membership of BAAPS and BAPRAS confirms that Mr Nassab meets the highest clinical and ethical standards in aesthetic plastic surgery. Both organisations require ongoing professional development and adherence to strict practice standards — providing patients with confidence that their mummy makeover in Manchester is being performed to the highest possible benchmark.
275+ Five-Star Reviews
Over 275 verified five-star patient reviews reflect Mr Nassab's commitment to exceptional results and patient care. Patients consistently highlight his honesty at consultation, his surgical skill, and the quality of his aftercare — from first appointment through to long-term follow-up. His results for body contouring in Manchester consistently reflect his ethos: natural, individual, and lasting.
Deansgate Hospital, Manchester
All mummy makeover surgery is performed at Deansgate Hospital — a state-of-the-art boutique private surgical facility in the heart of Manchester. The hospital provides the highest standard of patient care, privacy, and comfort throughout your overnight stay and surgical journey. Consultations take place at CLNQ, 11 Owen Street, Deansgate Square, M15 4YB.
Procedures Included in a Mummy Makeover — Manchester
A mummy makeover is not a single fixed procedure — it is a personalised combination of surgeries designed to address the changes that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding cause to the body. The combination is planned individually at consultation based on your anatomy, your goals, and your health. Mr Nassab has extensive experience performing all component procedures individually and in combination.
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester. Most mummy makeover procedures take 3–5 hours depending on the number of components involved. Patients typically stay in hospital for 1–2 nights.
The tummy tuck is the cornerstone of most mummy makeovers. It removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, repairs the diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles that occurs during pregnancy), and restores a flat, toned abdominal contour. The scar is placed low — designed to sit below the bikini line — and refines the waist as well as the lower abdomen. A mini tummy tuck may be more appropriate for patients with more limited concerns below the umbilicus.
Breast changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding are highly variable. Some patients experience deflation and loss of volume; others notice sagging (ptosis); many experience both. The appropriate breast procedure therefore differs for each patient:
Liposuction is frequently included in a mummy makeover to address stubborn fat deposits in the flanks, hips, waist, inner thighs, or upper abdomen that have persisted despite diet and exercise. Mr Nassab offers conventional liposuction and Vaser liposuction for precision body sculpting, often combined with a tummy tuck to maximise waist definition and overall contour.
Labiaplasty — surgical reduction or reshaping of the labia minora — may be included in a mummy makeover for patients who have experienced changes to the vulval area following childbirth. It can be performed safely in combination with other mummy makeover procedures in the same operating session.
One of the primary advantages of a mummy makeover is that multiple procedures are combined into a single operation — meaning one general anaesthetic, one recovery period, and reduced overall cost compared to staging each procedure separately. Mr Nassab carefully sequences the procedures to maximise safety and efficiency, typically performing the tummy tuck first and breast surgery second.
A key component of the tummy tuck component of a mummy makeover is the repair of diastasis recti — the midline separation of the rectus abdominis muscles that occurs during pregnancy. This repair tightens the abdominal wall, restores core strength, and eliminates the characteristic post-pregnancy abdominal bulge that exercise alone cannot resolve.
Patients stay at Deansgate Hospital for 1–2 nights post-surgery. After discharge, you should arrange for someone to stay with you for the first 1–2 weeks. Light activity is possible from 2–3 weeks. Driving is not advised until 6 weeks. Exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 8–12 weeks. Compression garments are worn for 6 weeks.
Final results — including scar maturation — develop over 9–12 months. Mr Nassab and his team provide follow-up appointments at the Manchester clinic and are available throughout your recovery.
Book a ConsultationPricing & Finance Options
The cost of a mummy makeover in Manchester depends on which procedures are combined, your individual anatomy, and the degree of surgical correction required. At Mr Nassab's clinic, pricing is all-inclusive — covering surgeon's fee, anaesthetic, hospital stay at Deansgate Hospital, post-operative compression garments, and all follow-up appointments. There are no hidden fees.
Because a mummy makeover is a personalised combination of procedures rather than a fixed package, an accurate quote is provided at your consultation following a full assessment. A mummy makeover combining two or more procedures will reflect the complexity of the work being undertaken, the premium surgical environment at Deansgate Hospital, and the comprehensive aftercare pathway provided.
Combining procedures in a single operation — rather than staging them separately — is almost always more cost-effective overall, as it shares anaesthetic, hospital, and theatre costs across the full combination.
Finance is available for eligible patients, allowing you to spread the cost of your mummy makeover in Manchester over an agreed repayment period. Finance options are discussed at consultation, with no obligation. Mr Nassab's team will help you understand all available options clearly, transparently, and without pressure.

It is generally recommended to wait 6–12 months after completing breastfeeding before undergoing a mummy makeover. Your weight should be stable and at or close to your target. It is important that you are not planning further pregnancies, as future pregnancies will significantly affect the results of both the tummy tuck and breast surgery.
Yes. Repair of diastasis recti — the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles that occurs during pregnancy — is a core component of an abdominoplasty. Mr Nassab repairs the midline fascia to restore the abdominal wall, flatten the contour, and eliminate the post-pregnancy bulge that exercise alone cannot resolve. This is one of the most functional benefits of a tummy tuck within a mummy makeover.
Recovery is typically 6–8 weeks before returning to light work. Driving is possible from 6 weeks. Exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 8–12 weeks. Compression garments are worn for 6 weeks. Full results develop over 9–12 months. Arranging help at home for the first 2 weeks is strongly recommended, particularly if you have young children.
Yes — this is one of the primary benefits. Multiple procedures are combined into a single operation under one general anaesthetic at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester, reducing total recovery time and overall cost. Mr Nassab carefully determines which combination can safely be performed together based on your health, anatomy, and the surgical complexity involved.
This is determined at your consultation with Mr Nassab following a full assessment of your anatomy, skin laxity, breast tissue, abdominal muscle status, and your goals. He will recommend the most appropriate combination — from a tummy tuck alone to a comprehensive makeover including breast surgery and liposuction — and will guide you honestly towards a plan that is realistic for your body.
The tummy tuck scar runs horizontally along the lower abdomen, placed to sit below the bikini line. Breast surgery scars depend on the procedure — uplifts leave a lollipop or anchor-shaped scar; augmentation incisions are in the inframammary fold. All scars mature and fade significantly over 12–18 months. Full scar management guidance is provided post-operatively.
