You’re a superhero in your kids eyes; you make them laugh, you hold them when they cry, and you stay up with them when they’re sick. Although there are hundreds of joys that accompany motherhood, the physical toll of pregnancy can transform your once beautiful body into something a little less recognizable. From sagging breasts to bags under your eyes, being a mommy isn’t always glamorous. If you’re done having kids and want to start feeling like you again, consider a mommy makeover.

1. What is a Mommy Makeover?
Although thoughts of your children painting your face with makeup might come to mind, a mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that can involve a combination of a tummy tuck, liposuction, a breast lift, breast augmentation surgery, breast reduction, or facial rejuvenation.

2. How Long Does It Take?
Depending on the combination of procedures that you would like to go, the actual procedural time can typically be done during one day. Plus,  procedures like breast augmentations and tummy tucks can usually be done at once— getting you in and out of surgery faster and without too much added stress on your body.

3. What is Recovery Time Like?
Although you won’t be able to do any heavy lifting for about 3-4 weeks, you can typically get back into your normal routine in just a few days. And with the help of some pain killers, you can start to feel your normal self fairly shortly after your procedure, which will help to get you back to work as
“mommy.”

4. Who is this Surgery Ideal For?
Due to the invasive nature of a tummy tuck procedure and breast augmentation surgeries, it’s usually recommended that you get a mommy makeover after you are done having children. Plus, if you do become pregnant again, your results might diminish over time, leaving you less than happy.

Being a mother is beyond rewarding, however 9 months of pregnancy over and over again, can wreak havoc on your body. If you want to be able to look in the mirror and recognize your body again, it might be time to consider a mommy makeover. To learn more, contact our office today!

There are many joys and blessings that come with being a new mom. The toll pregnancy and childbirth takes on your body is not one of them. It’s all purely natural and largely inevitable, but this doesn’t take away from the anxiety of being left with a body you fear will never be the same again.

We’re of the mind that motherhood need not necessarily spell the end of the body you worked so hard to achieve. It can feel as though the damage is too severe, what with sagging breasts, a flabby stomach, and all manner of scars to deal with. That’s precisely why we put together our unique Mommy Makeover.

The idea of undergoing multiple surgeries to take care of each of the individual areas in need of treatment is enough to put anyone off the idea entirely. As such, we’ve assembled a uniquely comprehensive package for moms of all ages that allows you to pick and choose the areas you’d like to improve. The most popular procedures are breast augmentation and the tummy tuck, but we also go much further to incorporate any facial procedures that may be requested.

Best of all, many of the procedures can be performed in tandem or in quick succession, which in turn means that restoring confidence and the appearance you’re more familiar with need not be a long, drawn-out process.

As responsible surgeons, we’re firmly committed to ensuring our patients make the right decisions and we will never rush or pressure anyone into undergoing even the simplest of treatments. The very best approach to restoring a youthful look and inner confidence is, of course, a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and general care for your health inside and out. But when those efforts amount to little improvement, our Mommy Makeover really can make an enormous difference.
