Surgeries that may be integrated in a mommy makeover

Becoming a mom is an exciting time in a woman’s life. However, the changes that happen to the body are not! With pregnancy, a lot of changes occur in the body contours. This includes excess fat in the stomach and thighs, sagging skin in the abdomen, and even drooping, deflated breasts from weight fluctuations and breastfeeding. Thanks to the field of plastic surgery, women have effective ways of tightening and toning the body to feel more confident in their post-pregnancy body. With the mommy makeover, many areas of the body can be addressed during a single surgery. 

What is the mommy makeover? 

The mommy makeover is best described as a custom treatment plan designed to address problem areas of the body that might have occurred due to weight changes. The most common areas addressed with this procedure include the breasts, the stomach, the thighs, and the buttocks. 

What surgeries are included in the mommy makeover? 

Because our board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lisa Hunsicker, focuses on ensuring patients get the treatment they need for their specific concerns, she creates customized plans for each patient. She evaluates their body, listens to them regarding their physical and cosmetic concerns, and then creates a customized solution known as the mommy makeover.

Below are just a few of the procedures that might be recommended to a women during the mommy makeover surgery: 

• Breast augmentation – adding breast implants can improve volume and size of the breasts after changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Breast lift – if the breasts have lost volume and are sagging or pointing in the downward position, they can be addressed by removing excess skin and tissue during a breast lift
• Liposuction – liposuction is the manual removal of fat in the body, and can be used in the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs
• Tummy tuck – be removing excess skin and tissue, and repairing the abdominal muscles, women can smooth the tummy and feel more confident in swimsuits and lingerie.
