Mommy Makeover

Reclaim Your Confidence and Contour

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to address the physical changes many women experience after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. This comprehensive approach focuses on restoring the body’s pre-pregnancy shape by targeting areas such as the abdomen, breasts, and other regions affected by motherhood.

Common components of a Mommy Makeover include:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles, often addressing diastasis recti.

Breast Surgery: Options include breast lift (mastopexy), augmentation, or reduction to restore breast shape and volume.

Liposuction: Eliminates stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, hips, thighs, and flanks.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

You may be an ideal candidate for a Mommy Makeover if you:

Have completed childbearing and are not planning future pregnancies.

Are at or near your ideal body weight.

Experience sagging breasts, loose abdominal skin, or stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.

Are in good overall health and do not smoke.

Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedures.

Breast Surgery:

Breast Lift: Elevates and reshapes sagging breasts.

Breast Augmentation: Enhances breast volume using implants.

Breast Reduction: Reduces breast size for improved comfort and proportion.

Liposuction

Targets and removes localized fat deposits to contour areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and flanks.

Mommy Makeover Recovery –
What to Expect

Recovery from a Mommy Makeover varies depending on the extent of the procedures performed. Generally, patients can expect:

First Week: Rest is crucial. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Compression garments are typically worn to support healing and reduce swelling.

Weeks 2–3: Gradual return to light activities. It’s important to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting.

Weeks 4–6: Many patients resume normal activities, including work and light exercise, with their surgeon’s approval.

Months 3–6: Continued improvement in appearance as swelling subsides and scars mature.

Adhering to post-operative instructions and attending follow-up appointments are essential for optimal healing and results.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

How long do the results last?

With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, the results of a Mommy Makeover can be long-lasting. However, natural aging and significant weight fluctuations can affect outcomes over time.

Will there be visible scars?

Scarring is an inevitable part of surgery, but our surgeons employ advanced techniques to minimize and conceal scars within natural body contours. Scars typically fade over time with proper care.

Can I have more children after a Mommy Makeover?

While it’s physically possible, future pregnancies can compromise the results of your surgery. It’s generally recommended to undergo a Mommy Makeover after completing your family.

Is a Mommy Makeover safe?

When performed by a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility, a Mommy Makeover is generally safe. As with any surgery, there are risks, which will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation.
