What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?

You’re fearless, beautiful, confident — and you deserve to feel that way every day. If you’re dealing with unwanted changes to your body after having kids, you might consider getting a mommy makeover to regain your figure and look your best. But what does it involve, exactly?

We’re here to tell you there’s no set lineup for a mommy makeover. Instead, the term refers to a customized combination of plastic surgery procedures. Depending on your unique needs and goals, your mommy makeover may include:

• Breast augmentation: New moms are often left with deflated breasts. Breast augmentation is an excellent way to replace that lost breast volume. It uses implants to enhance shape, size, and symmetry for a flattering result.
  

• Breast lift: Pregnancy stretches the connective tissues in your breasts. As a result, you may experience postpartum breast drooping, even if you choose not to breastfeed your newborn. A breast lift removes and tightens excess tissue to achieve a perkier look.
  

• Tummy tuck: Ab separation, or diastasis recti, can make your belly stick out and create what’s known as a pregnancy pooch. A tummy tuck helps by repairing weak or separated six-pack muscles. At the same time, it can remove loose skin, excess fat, and stretch marks.
  

• Liposuction: It’s healthy to gain weight during pregnancy. However, the fat your body stored during that time won’t go away on its own. To slim down those stubborn areas, consider liposuction. We offer several different types of liposuction, including SmartLipo®, which we often combine with Renuvion® non-surgical skin tightening for the best outcome.

Mommy makeovers typically focus on the breasts and abdomen. After all, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding tend to impact these areas the most. However, other areas of the body can also be addressed. 

If, for example, you want to make your backside higher, fuller, and rounder, then you might think about getting a Brazilian butt lift. That’s what’s so great about mommy makeovers. You get a say in your surgical plan.
