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 refine proportion, tighten the core, and refresh the breasts and torso with an elegant finish.

Procedure Deep Dive

Tummy Tuck: Flat, Firm, Supported

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

• Benefits: Better core support, flatter abdomen, lasting contour
• Incisions: Placed low and discreet to suit your garment preferences
• Finish: Natural umbilicus for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Projection & Proportion

Post-pregnancy, breasts may descend or lose volume. A lift elevates tissue while augmentation restores fullness using fat transfer depending on your goals.

• Lift (Mastopexy): Repositions the nipple-areola complex and reshapes tissue
• Augmentation: Adds volume with silicone 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 refines these zones to highlight your silhouette 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 precise reshaping that enhances comfort and symmetry while preserving natural form.

Patient Questions

How long do results last?

With a stable weight, results can endure for many years; natural aging continues but contours remain improved.

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

Can I combine procedures?

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

Is it painful?

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