What is mommy makeover

A mommy makeover is a customized set of cosmetic procedures designed to rejuvenate a woman's body after pregnancy. This often includes a breast augmentation or lift to counteract changes in breast size and sagging, a tummy tuck to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten muscles, and liposuction to address stubborn fat deposits. Additional procedures like thigh lifts or vaginal rejuvenation may also be included based on individual needs. A key aspect of the tummy tuck is the tightening and strengthening of the abdominal wall, which is crucial for restoring core stability and a toned appearance.

Is mommy makeover for me?

A mommy makeover might be suitable for you if you’re looking to restore your pre-pregnancy body through a personalized combination of cosmetic procedures. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have completed childbearing, and have realistic expectations. This makeover can address issues like breast sagging, excess abdominal skin, and stubborn fat deposits. An important aspect is the tightening and strengthening of the abdominal wall, which is crucial for restoring core stability and achieving a toned appearance.

During the procedure

During a mommy makeover, anesthesia is administered for comfort. The procedures typically begin with breast rejuvenation usually with a breast lift with removal of excess skin and re-tightening of the breast. If additional volume is required, a breast implant or fat grafting can be performed. Next, a tummy tuck is performed, which involves removing excess abdominal skin and tightening the underlying muscles to strengthen and flatten the abdominal wall. Liposuction is often used to remove stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips. Additional procedures, such as thigh lifts or vaginal rejuvenation, may be performed based on individual needs and are usually done in a separate operation.
