Pregnancy and childbirth bring a bundle of joy into a woman’s life; however, the effects on her body are often undesirable. Typically, the breasts are left sagging and stretched. Overhanging skin is evident in the abdomen and stubborn pockets of fat may linger after the baby weight has been shed. In order to regain your pre-pregnancy shape, you may want to learn more regarding “Mommy Makeover” surgery, a combination of breast and body contouring procedures.

Typically, the most commonly combined procedures for a Mommy Makeover include breast lift surgery, breast augmentation, tummy tuck surgery, and liposuction. After breastfeeding, there is often sagging and a loss of elasticity. A breast lift can restore a more youthful appearance, and in many patients, the use of breast implants may also provide a more optimal shape. As the abdomen stretches throughout pregnancy, the muscles do not always retract, resulting in a protruding abdomen. Tummy tuck surgery can re-tighten the muscles and trim away excess skin in order to produce a flatter midsection. Additionally, stubborn fat deposits may be resistant to exercise and dieting; this can be remedied with liposuction. The fat is gently removed from specific areas in order to produce a more slender contour.

Each patient has a unique anatomy and desired outcome; therefore, every Mommy Makeover procedure is personalized to meet her needs. Schedule your appointment to learn more regarding your options.
