Understanding Mommy Makeovers

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 restore proportion, tighten the core, and rejuvenate the breasts and torso with an natural finish.

Main Objectives

Tighten separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Remove loose skin and refine the waistline
Restore breast position and volume
Reduce stubborn fat for smoother contours

Typical Components

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Fascia tightening + skin tailoring
Breast Lift/Augmentation: Restore shape; enhance volume if desired
Liposuction: Remove isolated fat in abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms
Optional: Labiaplasty; autologous fat grafting for subtle volume

Procedure Deep Dive

Tummy Tuck: 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 sleeker abdomen and improved core support.

Benefits: Improved posture, flatter abdomen, reliable contour
Incisions: Placed low and discreet to suit your garment preferences
Finish: Natural umbilicus for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Projection & 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 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 natural curves and improve 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: Comfort & Symmetry

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