Don’t let the joys of motherhood be overshadowed by your body’s unwelcome post-pregnancy transformation.  

Mommy Makeover

It’s Okay To Say, “I Want My Body Back!” Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s body will experience certain changes that when it’s over, can leave her feeling…deflated. The only thing more natural than the changes to a woman’s body during pregnancy is a woman’s desire to get her figure back after pregnancy. For those who experience a loss of volume in their breasts, a split in the abdominal wall, or skin that is stretched throughout the midsection, these changes are permanent, as well as detrimental to one’s self-confidence. Fortunately, there is a way to return a woman’s body back to its original shape and firmness…the mommy makeover.

The mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures performed during a single operation that was created to help women who are struggling with getting back to their pre-pregnancy shape. In general, this surgical repair to a woman’s body will include two or more of the following procedures: liposuction, a tummy tuck and breast enhancement.

  • A tummy tuck creates a smooth abdominal contour by removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscle wall. This procedure restores the normal position and tone of separated muscles caused by the expansion of the uterus.
  • Liposuction is performed to reshape the tummy, hips and thighs by removing excess deposits of fat. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, instead it is meant to improve and perfect contours, and is the perfect complement to a tummy tuck.
  • Breast enhancement may require breast augmentation, breast lift, and/or breast reduction. With pregnancy the breasts are hit with a double-whammy: first, the breasts become engorged causing damage to the ligaments that give them support; then, volume is lost after pregnancy as the body starts to return to its normal process. As a result of this expansion and contraction, the breasts will become small and start to droop.

Just as every woman’s has a different response to pregnancy is unique, each woman’s needs for the best course of action will also be different. As such the time is takes to perform this procedure and the patient’s recovery will vary. Ordinarily, the typical mommy makeover will take 3-4 hours to perform, and recovery required before returning to most activities is about two weeks.
