Possible Mommy Makeover Procedures

There is no reason for a patient to continue struggling with changes to their body due to pregnancy. We understand that each patient is unique and may have different issues they wish to change. Thus, we can customize the treatment to each patient’s individual needs.

We can build a mommy makeover that has the specific procedures you need to change and restore your body.

With a mommy makeover, we can help to address specific areas of the body such as the abdomen, breasts, waist, genitalia and buttocks. However, a mommy makeover may only need to treat one or two of these areas. Possible procedures the mommy makeover can offer, include:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Tummy tuck
• Liposuction
• Brazilian butt lift
• Arm lift

While the changes to the body after pregnancy are not permanent, they can last a long time. In some cases, the changes never go away completely without professional treatment. Many women will go through rigorous exercising and dieting only to find unsatisfactory results. Instead of such a drastic change to one’s daily routine, we can provide an easier and more effective alternative with the mommy makeover.

Mommy Makeover surgery is a combination of procedures that address the undesirable effects that pregnancy can have on a woman’s body. These effects may include sagging and deflated breasts, weakened abdominal muscles, loose skin on the abdomen, and the accumulation of excess fat on various areas of the body.

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

The Mommy Makeover is customized to meet the unique needs of each patient. In just one surgery, the breasts can be augmented and/or lifted, the abdomen can be sculpted, and excess fat can be removed. Many women choose this surgery to:

Mommy Makeover Procedures

A Mommy Makeover combines two or more of the following procedures to achieve the look you desire:

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause a loss of firmness and volume in the breasts, which often results in sagging breasts with loose skin. A breast lift can restore a more youthful, attractive breast shape and projection. A breast lift is often combined with implants to augment the size of a woman’s breasts and restore her confidence.

Pregnancy usually takes the greatest toll on the abdomen as the skin is stretched, and the abdominal muscles become separated. Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and fat, along with any stretch marks located on the skin that is removed, and tightens weakened abdominal muscles to produce a more toned and slender midsection.

After pregnancy and childbirth, many women notice that fat has collected in areas that are very difficult to target with diet and exercise. Liposuction can remove excess fat from many of the most common “trouble zones,” including the arms, back, abdomen, hips, and thighs to help boost a woman’s self-esteem.

Mommy Makeover FAQ

A. The best candidates for a Mommy Makeover are physically healthy and close to their goal weight. Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck to eliminate stubborn abdominal fat, but patients should note that neither procedure is intended for weight loss.

A. Combining a few procedures into one surgery will decrease the overall recovery time needed, and it is also more cost-effective than having the procedures done separately.

A. Yes, but both procedures may be needed to achieve the best results. If sagging exists and breast augmentation is performed without a lift, there is a higher chance of complications developing after surgery. However, if there is no sagging present, satisfactory results may be achieved with just a breast augmentation.

A. The best time for a Mommy Makeover is after childbearing is complete. Patients can still have the procedure if they desire more children in the future, but the results achieved may be reversed after a subsequent pregnancy. Breastfeeding after breast implants or a breast lift is also possible, but the success rate is slightly lower.

A. Patients will need someone to drive them home after surgery and will require assistance for the first 24 to 48 hours. Although some discomfort is expected, this can be controlled with prescribed pain medication. Swelling may last anywhere from several days to several weeks. Most patients feel comfortable resuming their normal activities after two weeks, although they should avoid strenuous activities and exercises for at least six weeks.

A. After surgery, your body will be significantly improved with more attractive, youthful contours. Scarring may be present but will be in inconspicuous locations and easily hidden beneath underwear or swimsuits, and the scars will continue to fade over time. Although the body will continue to age naturally, results are long lasting and can be maintained with a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
