Understanding the mommy makeover
The mommy makeover is a combination of various body procedures that are used to help women restore their youthful “pre-motherhood” appearance. The mommy makeover is customized for each woman based on her unique and specific needs and desires. Common procedures performed include:
- Breast lift – during a breast lift, excess skin is removed and the nipple area is repositioned for a more youthful look. It can be done in conjunction with breast augmentation for optimum results.
- Breast augmentation – breast augmentation uses breast implants to add volume to breasts that may be deflated after breastfeeding or weight loss. The doctor will help a woman choose the best size for their implant to ensure a natural result.
- Liposuction – excess fat tends to accumulate on the body and can be stubborn to remove with just diet and exercise alone. Our team can performed liposuction to remove unwanted fat and contour the body.
- Tummy tuck – the tummy tuck includes both liposuction and excess skin removal for a firmer midsection and to address excess fat in the flanks, sometimes referred to as “muffin top.” Incisions are made along the underwear line to stay obscure even when women are wearing more revealing clothing, such as a bikini swimsuit.
