What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to address the common aesthetic concerns experienced by women after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It typically includes a variety of breast enhancement, abdominal contouring, and body sculpting procedures tailored to the unique needs and goals of the individual.
Common surgeries included in a Mommy Makeover are:
- Breast augmentation: This procedure helps restore lost volume and shape to the breasts. It involves the placement of silicone or saline implants to achieve a fuller, more proportionate bust.
- Breast lift: A breast lift procedure lifts and reshapes sagging breasts, addressing concerns such as droopiness and loss of firmness. It repositions the breasts to a more youthful position, restoring their natural contour.
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. It addresses stretched abdominal muscles and sagging skin, resulting in a flatter, firmer midsection.
- Liposuction: Liposuction can remove stubborn pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise. It can be performed on various body areas, including the hips, thighs, abdomen, and arms, to enhance overall body contour.
- Body lift: For some patients who have experienced significant weight loss, a body lift procedure may be included in their Mommy Makeover. It involves the removal of excess skin and tissue from multiple areas, creating a more toned and youthful body shape.
