Mommy Makeover Overview

A Mommy Makeover is not a single operation but a bespoke combination of procedures that may include abdominoplasty, breast lift or augmentation, and targeted liposuction. The goal is to refine balance, repair the core, and refresh the breasts and torso with an elegant finish.

Key Procedures Explained

Abdominoplasty: Flat, Firm, Supported

Pregnancy can weaken the midline fascia, leading to diastasis recti. A tummy tuck plications the muscle layer and tailors lax skin for a sleeker abdomen and enhanced core support.

• Benefits: Better core support, flatter abdomen, lasting contour
• Incisions: Placed low and discreet to suit your garment preferences
• Finish: Natural umbilicus for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Projection & Balance

Post-pregnancy, breasts may descend or lose volume. A lift elevates tissue while augmentation restores fullness using fat transfer depending on your goals.

• Lift (Mastopexy): Repositions the nipple-areola complex and firms tissue
• Augmentation: Adds volume with saline implants or your own fat
• Combined: For patients who want both elevation and volume

Liposuction: Targeted Contouring

Even with great habits, localized fat pockets can persist. Liposuction sculpts these zones to highlight your silhouette and enhance garment fit.

• Zones: Abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back
• Approach: Strategic reduction for smooth transitions
• Option: Micro-fat grafting to hips or buttocks for proportion

Optional Labiaplasty: Comfort & Symmetry

Pregnancy and delivery can change the labial tissues. Labiaplasty is a precise reshaping that improves comfort and symmetry while respecting natural form.
