Patient Case #8159

Procedure Details

A mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to address the physical changes that can occur in a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

Patient seeking these procedures have often experienced physical changes in the breasts, abdomen, hips, and thighs after pregnancy. Common concerns include sagging or deflated breasts, stretch marks, excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, and stubborn pockets of fat in the hips and thighs. Patients may also feel self-conscious about their post-pregnancy body and find it difficult to regain their pre-pregnancy shape through diet and exercise alone.

After a mommy makeover, the patient can expect a significant improvement in the appearance of their breasts, abdomen, and hips. Depending on the patient’s specific needs and goals, a mommy makeover can include procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction.

Breast augmentation or a breast lift can restore volume, shape, and firmness to the breasts. A tummy tuck can remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, tighten the underlying muscles, and improve the overall appearance of the midsection. Liposuction can be used to remove stubborn pockets of fat from the hips, thighs, and other areas of the body.

The recovery time for a mommy makeover can vary depending on the procedures performed, but patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.
