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 refine balance, repair the core, and rejuvenate the breasts and torso with an natural finish.

Inside the Procedure Suite

Abdominoplasty: Flat, Firm, Supported

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

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Shape & Balance

Post-pregnancy, breasts may descend or relinquish 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: 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, localized fat pockets can persist. Liposuction refines these zones to highlight natural curves and enhance garment fit.

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

Optional Labiaplasty: Comfort & Symmetry

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

Your Questions Answered

How long do results last?

If your weight stays steady, results can endure for many years; natural aging continues but contours remain refined.

Will there be scars?

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

Back to routine?

Many patients resume light duties in about two weeks, depending on the procedure mix.

Combining procedures

Yes — combining procedures allows a comprehensive transformation with one streamlined recovery window.

Is it painful?

Contemporary anesthesia and pain-management protocols keep discomfort manageable, especially during the first week.
