Mommy Makeover

What is a Mommy Makeover?

The goal of a mommy makeover is to restore the shape and appearance of a woman’s body after childbearing. Many women notice changes in their bodies post-pregnancy. There are many areas of the body that can be addressed, most commonly the breasts, abdomen, waist, genitalia and buttocks. A mommy makeover is typically performed as a single stage procedure. There are many techniques used to perform a mommy makeover, and many factors should be taken into consideration when choosing which techniques are best. Possible procedures in a mommy makeover may include:

  • Breast Augmentation
  • Breast lift
  • Liposuction
  • Tummy tuck
  • Vaginal rejuvenation

Considerations

One of the benefits of Mommy Makeover surgery is that the procedure can be tailored to meet your individual wants and needs.  The type and extent of the surgery depends on which parts of the body you are looking to improve. Listed below are the procedures that can be included and combined as part of Mommy Makeover surgery

Breast Augmentation
With breast augmentation, improvement to the size and shape of the breasts is possible with the use of silicone or saline implants. There are three different ways that the procedure can be performed, which will depend on your desired outcome as well as the type and size of the implant you choose. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss which method is best for you.

Breast Lift
eMastopexy, or breast lift surgery, is a procedure designed to lift, firm, and reshape the breasts. Results are achieved by tightening the surrounding tissue as well as eliminating excess skin. Pregnancy, weight loss, and heredity can cause the breasts to lose shape and firmness. At your initial consultation, your surgeon will determine the technique that will deliver optimal results. Any incisions made will be located in areas that can easily be hidden by clothing, and they will eventually fade or heal over time.

Liposuction
With the use of a tube and vacuum device, unwanted fat deposits can be removed to improve overall body shape. The purpose of liposuction is not to decrease body weight, but to provide a smoother and more contoured profile in areas that do not sufficiently respond to proper diet and exercise. Liposuction is typically performed on the thighs, hips, waist, and back. Other areas that may be treated include the abdomen, buttocks, legs, upper arms, neck, and face.

Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is designed to remove excess fat and skin located in the abdominal area. The procedure may also restore muscles in the area that have weakened or separated. This helps to create a firm, smooth abdominal profile. Loose or sagging abdominal skin can be caused by previous surgery, heredity, aging, pregnancy, and significant fluctuations in weight.

Vaginal Rejuvenation
The term vaginal rejuvenation covers several different procedures. The most commonly performed procedures that comprise female genital plastic surgery are labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, labia majoraplasty, and monsplasty.
