Mommy Makeover Overview

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 natural finish.

Main Objectives

Repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Remove loose skin and smooth the waistline
Restore breast position and fullness
Reduce localized fat for smoother contours

Typical Components

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

Tummy Tuck: Core Repair & Waist Refinement

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

Benefits: Improved posture, defined waist, reliable contour
Incisions: Low and concealed to suit your garment preferences
Finish: Natural umbilicus for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Shape & Balance

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

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

Liposuction: Targeted Contouring

Even with great habits, isolated fat pockets can persist. Liposuction sculpts these zones to highlight your silhouette and enhance 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: Confidence & Symmetry

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