What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a popular term that can mean different things to different people. Essentially, the term refers to a combination of breast and body contouring procedures intended to address the physical effects of motherhood and restore many of your body’s more youthful characteristics that you enjoyed before pregnancy. Each mommy makeover procedure is customized to the patient's needs and wants. Depending on your unique goals and physical attributes, this comprehensive procedure can address a variety of post-pregnancy issues, such as:

  • Stubborn deposits of fat on the abdomen and hips
  • Stretch marks or loose skin of the abdomen or breasts
  • A bulging belly or bulging abdominal muscles
  • Enlarged or saggy breasts
  • Enlarged areola
  • Loose, deflated, or asymmetric breasts

Who Is a Candidate for Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgery?

Generally speaking, you may be an ideal mommy makeover candidate if you:

  • Would like to restore a more youthful, fit appearance
  • Are in good overall health
  • Are close to your ideal body weight
  • No longer breastfeed
  • Have reasonable expectations for your results

Procedures Used In a Mommy Make-Over

Having children invariably changes your body. Changes can occur in your belly, breasts, vagina, and even your face. Typically, mommy makeovers primarily address the breasts and abdominal area to help patients achieve a flatter abdomen and fuller, more uplifted breasts. While no two patients or procedures are identical, your mommy makeover surgery may include a combination of body procedures:

Tummy tuck

Also called abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck can help you eliminate excess abdominal fat and skin, achieve tighter abdominal muscles, and enjoy a slimmer, flatter belly contour.

Liposuction

One of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures today, liposuction can remove stubborn fat and provide you with a more toned, fit figure.

Breast augmentation

If you would like to enhance the size or shape of your breasts, breast augmentation can restore volume in your breasts, improve breast shape, and correct asymmetry.

Breast lift

If you experience significant sagging in your breasts, implants alone cannot sufficiently deliver the results you desire. A breast lift is designed to restore your breasts to their more uplifted, youthful perkiness.

Breast reduction

Sometimes, women gain breast volume during early motherhood and are left with heavy, uncomfortable breasts that don’t diminish with nursing. Breast reduction surgery can alleviate discomfort and provide a more proportionate figure.
