What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is not a single operation but a curated combination of procedures that may include abdominoplasty, 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.

Procedure Deep Dive

Tummy Tuck: 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 enhanced core support.

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

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Shape & Proportion

Post-pregnancy, breasts may descend or relinquish volume. A lift repositions tissue while augmentation enhances fullness using implants depending on your goals.

• Lift (Mastopexy): Re-centers the nipple-areola complex and firms tissue
• Augmentation: Adds volume with saline implants or autologous 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: Confidence & Symmetry

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

Incisions are placed low to be as discreet as possible; proper care helps them mature over time.

Many patients resume desk work in about two weeks, depending on the procedure mix.

Can I combine procedures?
