Mommy Makeover Overview

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

Procedure Deep Dive

Abdominoplasty: Core Repair & Waist Refinement

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

• Benefits: Improved posture, flatter abdomen, reliable contour
• Incisions: Low and concealed 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 implants depending on your goals.

• Lift (Mastopexy): Repositions the nipple-areola complex and firms tissue
• Augmentation: Restores volume with saline implants or autologous fat
• Combined: For patients who want both elevation and volume

Liposuction: Targeted Contouring

Even with great habits, isolated fat pockets can persist. Liposuction refines 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 improves comfort and symmetry while respecting natural form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Longevity of results?

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

What about scarring?

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

Back to routine?

Many patients resume desk work in about 10–14 days, depending on the procedure mix.

Can I combine procedures?

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

Is it painful?

Contemporary anesthesia and pain-management protocols support a smooth recovery, especially during the first week.
