Understanding Mommy Makeovers

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

Common Goals

Repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Remove stretched skin and refine the waistline
Restore breast position and volume
Reduce stubborn fat for cleaner contours

Procedures Often Included

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Muscle repair + skin tailoring
Breast Lift/Augmentation: Lift shape; enhance volume if desired
Liposuction: Target isolated fat in abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms
Optional: Labiaplasty; fat transfer for subtle volume

Inside the Procedure Suite

Abdominoplasty: Core Repair & Waist Refinement

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 improved core support.

Benefits: Better core support, defined waist, reliable contour
Incisions: Placed low and discreet to suit your garment preferences
Finish: Refined belly-button shaping for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Projection & Proportion

Post-pregnancy, breasts may sag or lose volume. A lift elevates tissue while augmentation enhances fullness using implants depending on your goals.

Lift (Mastopexy): Re-centers the nipple-areola complex and reshapes tissue
Augmentation: Adds volume with saline implants or autologous fat
Combined: For patients who need both elevation and volume

Liposuction: Precision Sculpting

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

Zones: Abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back
Approach: Strategic reduction for smooth transitions
Option: Fat transfer to hips or buttocks for proportion

Optional Labiaplasty: Confidence & Symmetry

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