What Is a Mommy Makeover?

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 restore balance, repair the core, and refresh the breasts and torso with an elegant finish.

Key Procedures Explained

Tummy Tuck: Flat, Firm, Supported

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

• Benefits: Improved posture, 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: Shape & Proportion

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

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

Liposuction: Precision Sculpting

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

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

Optional Labiaplasty: Comfort & Symmetry

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