Mommy Makeover

Moomy Makeover after pregnancies Some plastic surgeons define a breast augmentation and lift (augmentation mastopexy) plus a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) as a mommy makeover. But, in my practice, each woman has a different idea of what it means to get her pre-baby body back and that is very individualized. Therefore, the price has a significant range. Breast Lift and Augmentation (Augmentation Mastopexy) may be an ideal option for many moms An increasingly attractive and popular... more

Most common procedures after pregnancy

Hello, The most common combination of procedures after a pregnancy are tummy tucks and breast lifts/breast augmentation. Which tummy tuck is best for each individual patient depends on their body characteristic and their goals. The regular tummy tuck procedure is more common than the mini tummy tuck procedure. All the best, Dr Repta

Mommy makeover

Most common procedures requested after pregnancy are tummy tuck and breast augmentation procedures. Sometimes breast lifting may be necessary. In my opinion, the mini tummy talk is an operation that produces very limited results and is very rarely indicated. It involves a shorter incision but does not address the majority of the abdominal wall issues present for most patients who present consultation. For example, the area of skin excised is quite small. The abdominal... more

Tummy tucks, breast lifts, and pregnancy

Pregnancy can produce some major changes in the body, especially in the breasts and abdomen. In the breasts, it can result in simply a loss of volume which can be replaced with implants alone. In other instances, the breasts may become huge and stay huge or lose all of the volume and become very droopy. In those instances, breast lifts or even breast reductions may be more appropriate. Pregnancy usually affects the entire abdomen and a full tummy tuck is usually more... more

Mini Tummy and Breast Surgery

Some form of tummy tuck and breast surgery after pregnancy is a so called mommy makeover and is very commonly performed. I cannot say what is the most common because each patient is different. One woman may need a breast lift while another breast implants and a full tummy tuck.

Each mother is different, as are the required plastic surgery mommy makeover options.

Just as "mommy makeover" can mean one of several kinds of breast surgery plus one of several different tummy tucks, and may include liposuction or other surgical choices, each woman has different changes in her body for which specifically-tailored operations are recommended. Many women require only breast implants to restore (and occasionally increase) breast volume lost after pregnancy and breast feeding one or more children. Others will require breast lifts, and I believe... more

Mommy Makeover

The two areas that are most often treated after pregnancy are the breasts and the abdomen. Several different procedures are available for each area. I customize the "mommy makeover" to address each individual woman' needs and desires. Pregnancy may make the breasts larger or smaller and cause sagging. A breast reduction will decrease the size and lift the breasts. Implants ( augmentation mammaplasty ) will replace lost volume. Implants can be combined with an uplift (... more

Mommy Makeovers

The most common cosmetic surgical procedures after childbirth are abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast augmentation, sometimes with a breast lift. This is typically what people are referring to when they discuss mommy makeovers. Breast lifts alone and mini tummy tucks are often not enough to correct all the damage. Other procedures can also be complementary such as liposuction to smooth out the hips and lower back. The best way to learn which procedures will do what for you it to see a... more

Mini tummy tucks are very rare, breast lifts are very common

Properly selected, based on anatomy after pregnancy, hardly anybody is a great miniTT candidate because it is rare to have ALL the damage from stretching confined to below the belly button. That is the only area addressed by a mini and if the upper abdomen is at all lax, doing just a mini can actually make the overall abdomen look worse than doing nothing at all. In my experience, about 95+% of post pregnancy abdomens need full TTs. Breast lifts and implants (remember that... more
