A Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive, customized cosmetic procedure that addresses the physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The procedure aims to restore and enhance one’s pre-pregnancy appearance. Typically, this involves a combination of surgical procedures such as a tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty), breast enhancement which could be a lift, augmentation, or reduction, and liposuction performed in a single-stage or multiple sessions. Depending on the specific needs and goals of the patient, it may also include other procedures such as a buttock lift or labiaplasty.

The first step of the procedure involves an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and potential options. Every individual’s needs are different, so the procedures involved, their sequence, and the recovery time can greatly vary. The surgeon will perform a thorough physical examination and review your medical history before recommending a custom surgical plan. Common procedures that are performed include: the tummy tuck to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles, liposuction to eliminate pockets of fat, and breast procedures to address sagging, volume loss or excessive breast size. Ultimately, the goal of a Mommy Makeover is to deliver a revitalized body contour that makes the patient feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
