Mommy Makeover: Breast lift, Augmentation, Tummy Tuck, and Liposuction

What constitutes a mommy makeover depends upon what the woman needs. The areas most commonly affected by pregnancy are the breasts, abdomen, hips, thighs and back. On a full mommy makeover, I will lift the breasts, place a submuscular implant, and perform a tummy tuck as well as liposuction of the appropriate areas.
