Mommy Makeover
Breast Lift and Augmentation (Augmentation Mastopexy):
The 'top half' of many 'mommy makeovers'
Augmentation mastopexy is designed to correct the two most common changes that occur in breast appearance following pregnancy: loss of breast volume, and stretching out of breast skin. While there are some moms who can get an acceptable cosmetic result from augmentation alone or from mastopexy alone, many moms have a combination of breast volume loss and skin excess that...

Sagging skin after pregnancy
Unfortunately, daily trips to the gym do nothing to tighten skin, I certainly wish they did. If it is an abdominal concern usually surgical removal (a panniculectomy) resolves the issue of sagging skin. Every one has heard of a tummy tuck-that includes muscle tightening with skin and fat removal. This is done under general anesthesia, and usually can be accomplished through a c-section like incision extending depending on the amount of skin to be removed to a hip to hip incision. There...

Loose and hanging abdominal skin, bulging muscles and excess fat are trimmed during a Mommy Makeover
Many women find their abdomens have permanent changes following pregnancy, including stretch marks, loss of abdominal tone, excess skin and extra fat deposits that have accumulated since having babies.
Because the muscles of the abdominal wall are permanently separated after pregnancies (particular after multiple children or twin pregnancies), a million sit-ups will not help!
A "mommy makeover" surgical procedure should only be considered at least 6 months after the birth...

Mommy Makeover to treat loose skin and remove stretch marks after pregnancy
When plastic surgeons refer to a "mommy makeover," we are generally referring to tummy contouring (tummy tuck) and breast contouring (breast lift, augmentation, or a combo lift and augmentation). These procedures are very powerful in restoring the shape and volume of your breasts and restoring the contouring of your abdominal area. I perform about 1-2 mommy makeover procedures each week.

Mommy makeover
The "mommy makeover" is a constellation of procedures to correct the changes that occur with pregnancy. They are chosen and customized to the needs of each patient and include tummy tucks, liposuction, breast augmentations and lifts primarily.

Breast lift, maybe augmentation
The first step after pregnancy is to determine if you are done with children, and about 6 months done with breast feeding. You want to avoid possibly having to redo your breast surgery if you become pregnant right away!
Next, what breast size is necessary? If a larger size is needed, an implant is indicated to bring you up to the size you need to have.
Last, the distances you have from the breastplate to the nipples will give a good indication of whether or not a lift is needed, and if so...

Mommy makeover for sagging skin
Pregnancy produces more trauma to a woman's body than anything else. The result can be sagging breasts, loose skin and stretch marks of the abdomen, and fat pockets in the hips and thighs. These are the areas most affected. These are also the areas that can be rejuvenated with a mommy makeover. Breasts can be lifted, tummies tightened, loose skin and stretch marks removed, and fat suctioned out.

Generally, no matter how much exercise you do, loose and sagging skin after pregnancy is difficult to get rid of unless you undergo surgery to remove the skin. If there is only a minor amount of laxity, laser-assisted liposuction can help with skin tightening.

Loose skin - mommy makeover
Since a mommy makeover most typically involves a tummy tuck, if your loose skin is on your abdomen, then yes, it will be improved / removed. Loose skin on the breast would also be helped by a breast implant or breast lift. Other areas, though, may not be improved, unless you and your surgeon specifically design a combination of procedures to deal with these other areas.

Tummy Tuck
A mommy makeover is usually multiple surgeries that are combined like a tummy tuck, breast augmentation and sometimes liposuction. If you are only concerned about your tummy then maybe you should consider just that procedure. It will remove access skin from the midsection and give the torso a very slim appearance. The surgery will leave a scar from hip to hip and does require about 5-10 of recovery, but the results are amazing.

Mommy Makeover Loose Skin Chicago
In reality, the only way to get rid of loose skin is to cut it out and tighten it using different techniques. Unfortunately there are alot of products out there that claim to tighten skin externally - thermage, endermologie, etc. All of these provide only temporary results, and only show improvement about 50% of the time. To really tighten up areas, the excess skin needs to be excised and the remaining skin tightened, providing a smoother contour.

How to get rid of loose skin after pregnancy
The best candidate for a tummy tuck (abdominopalsty) has excess skin with little excess fat. The best candidate for liposuction, including VASER and Slim Lipo has good quality skin, not in excess, BUT has excess subcutaneous fat.
Most women after pregnancy have issues with exces skin and that requires a traditional resection - excision of the excess skin. The amount of excess skin to be removed depends on the amount that has stretched and not retracted after pregnancy (or weight loss).

Great question. A mommy makeover is a catch-all phrase for surgically correcting the effects of pregnancy has on a woman's body. Not every woman who has kids needs a mommy makeover and not every mommy makeover is created equal.

Loose, sagging abdominal skin should be treated with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) which is the only procedure that will deal with this problem. If you have loose skin, liposuction, laser lipo, smart lipo, etc., is not a reliable way to deal with the problem.

Mommy Makeover
During pregnancy, your skin stretches and often leaves permanent damage to your dermis. There is some elastic potential, but usually it cannot overcome the damage. In a mommy makeover, we perform an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck to remove the extra skin and tighten the abdominal muscles. Also, at the same time, we perform a breast lift and liposuction to help achieve the best possible result.

Mommy Makeover
Women go though so much to be moms, and it's a shame that they have to pay such a price with stretch marks, weight gain, separation of abdominal muscles, and breast changes. My patients often say "I just want my old body back" but no amount of exercise or diet seems to do the job. That's where plastic surgery comes in, to remove the loose skin, reshape areas that have accumulated fat resistant to exercise, repair the abdminal muscles, and often lift or augment the breasts.

Surgery almost always
Remember this biologic truth: you can't shrink skin (at least significantly). It is true that with thermal treatment (laser, ultrasound) that collagen can be shrunk a little-a very little. If excess skin is a component of an aesthetic problem, then it must be surgically removed. After pregnancy, this is called an abdominoplasty. There are variations depending on the specifics.

A tummy tuck will fix loose hanging tummy skin present after pregnancy. A "mommy makeover" usually involves some treatment of the breasts as well as the tummy. In a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, extra stretched out skin is removed from the lower part of the belly.

This is a great restorative procedure for when you are finished having babies.
