Mommy Makeover
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
Women often find it difficult to restore the appearance of their body after giving birth. Pregnancy can dramatically alter your appearance, and time constraints or genetics can prevent you from restoring your pre-baby physique. The Mommy Makeover is a set of four individual plastic surgery procedures designed to target the most common areas of a woman’s body that change after pregnancy and nursing. These four procedures, or any combination, are often done together to save recovery time, time off work, and money. They include:
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lifting
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction
The Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
- Firmer breasts
- Increased breast size
- Fat elimination
- Tighter, more toned tummy
- Convenient, one-time procedure
- Slimmer waist
The Mommy Makeover Procedures
Breast Augmentation
- Uses implants to increase the size of the breasts
- Can be performed on women who had naturally small breasts pre-pregnancy or who have lost volume following pregnancy and nursing
- A wide variety of implant types, sizes, and projections will help you achieve the most natural-looking results that best complement your body shape
Breast Lift
- Removes excess breast skin and uses suturing techniques to lift sagging breasts
- Women may experience breast sagging following pregnancy as a result of breast tissue expansion for milk production and subsequent deflation once lactation ends
- Helps restore a firm breast appearance
- Ideal for women with adequate breast volume or those who want to combine this procedure with breast augmentation or breast reduction
Tummy Tuck
- Eliminates excess skin that has accumulated on the abdomen
- An incision is created low along the bikini line, through which excess skin is removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened
- Ideal for women who experience abdominal laxity following their pregnancy
Liposuction
- Liposuction removes excess fat accumulations from your body via suctioning
- The process is typically used to improve your body’s natural contour and to improve a flabby appearance
- The most common area for liposuction in combination with the mommy makeover are the hips
