What Is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Having kids is one of the most exciting parts of life. However, for some women, it can be tough to deal with the physical aftermath of being pregnant and giving birth. Sometimes, a mommy makeover can help women regain their pre-pregnancy shape. Mommy makeover procedures work to combine several different plastic surgery techniques to help you look and feel your best by targeting the areas of the body that are most often affected by the pregnancy and birth processes. Here is what you should know.

What Is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy makeovers combine several procedures into one surgical process, which drastically reduces the costs of surgery and the downtime required for recovery. Your mommy makeover will be tailored to your specific needs. Some of the procedures performed during mommy makeovers include:

Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

Many women struggle with excess fat and skin on the abdominal area after giving birth. A tummy tuck can create a flatter stomach. Some women who have given birth find that it is hard to get rid of the excess fat the body built up to support the baby during pregnancy. Liposuction surgically removes fat cells, creating a slim and more contoured appearance. Liposuction can also be performed in the arms, thighs, and other body areas to create a more aesthetically pleasing shape.

Breast Augmentation

The breasts go through a number of changes throughout the pregnancy and postnatal periods, and for many women, the changes are permanent. Thankfully, breast augmentation can help to restore your breasts to their pre-baby appearance. You may also be interested in changing the appearance of your breasts to a different appearance than you had before you got pregnant. Our plastic surgeon will work with you to help you get the look that you want.

Breast Lift

A breast lift can also be performed during a mommy makeover. This procedure helps to elevate otherwise sagging breasts and places them in a more prominent and youthful position. A breast lift will not significantly change the size of the breasts. However, it can help address sagging and stretched skin while creating more shapely breasts.
