What procedures are combined in a Mommy Makeover?

When a woman has finished childbearing, she often has many areas of concern on her body. Sagging breasts, loose skin and excess fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise entails a variety of procedures that can be done separately. A “Mommy Makeover” is a surgery that has become increasingly popular because it combines all of these procedures into one surgery and one recovery period. While a Mommy Makeover is customized to each patient, there are several common procedures:

Breast Augmentation

A breast augmentation can enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts, often correcting the loss of breast volume after pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are multiple techniques and different sizes and shapes of implants that can help women achieve the contour they desire.

Breast Lift

Pregnancy and nursing and aging in general cause the breasts to lose their elasticity, firmness and shape, causing them to sag. A breast lift reshapes and “lifts” sagging breasts.

Breast Reduction

Women with abnormally large breasts often suffer from chronic pain in the shoulders, neck and back, as well as posture problems, headaches and skin irritations. A breast reduction reduces the weight and size of a woman’s breasts and can improve the look and appearance of the areola.

Tummy Tuck

Excess skin, unsightly fat deposits and stretch marks are common concerns after childbirth. A tummy tuck is a procedure that involves removal of excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tightens the fascia surrounding the muscles of the abdominal wall.

Liposuction

Diet and exercise alone can’t remove some of the most stubborn fat pockets. Liposuction targets these fat pockets in multiple areas of the body to help contour a more proportioned and slimmer figure.

Facial Rejuvenation

A neck lift, jowl lift or removal of puffy eyelids are facial rejuvenation procedures that can be added to the Mommy Makeover surgery. These procedures smooth and tighten the sagging skin and helps women look more refreshed and youthful.
