Hi. I'm Larry Schlesinger, and I'm a board certified plastic surgeon from Honolulu, Hawaii.

A mommy makeover basically entails five procedures. The first and basic, most important one, is the tummy tuck. The second one is the breast surgery, either breast lift, breast reduction, or breast augmentation. Usually breast augmentation is a mainstay for all portions of the mommy makeover. Third, we have liposuction, and in various areas, liposuction will reduce the waistline, get rid of loose fat on the inner thighs and other areas brought on by pregnancy. Labiaplasty is a very popular operation, getting more popularity, today. It is a way of reducing the internal lips, and also, if you do the wedge technique, tightening the opening to the vagina, the introitus. And finally, use of melasma cream. And melasma is hyper-pigmentation, secondary to pregnancy, which occurs on the face. The hyper-pigmentation is also seen in birth control pills, but it's most often seen in pregnancy. These five procedures encompass what is normally known as the mommy makeover.
