Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
It’s no secret that many women struggle to regain their pre-pregnancy body after having children and nursing. A mommy makeover makes that process easier, with a custom combination of cosmetic surgery procedures. While it’s tailored to the concerns of each patient, a mommy makeover always includes breast surgery. At our practice in Grand Rapids, most patients opt for breast augmentation combined with a breast lift to correct sagging and restore volume, while others choose breast reduction surgery. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is also a popular option, especially after multiple pregnancies. For those dealing with a loss of skin elasticity in the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, we offer a lower body lift, which removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, and lower back; lifts the buttocks and outer thighs; and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. I look forward to discussing your mommy makeover goals and recommending the best treatment plan, to get the results you want.

Great experience start to finish! The entire staff at PSA GR is incredible and Dr. Vander Woude made me so comfortable throughout the prep, surgery, and all of my post-op check-ins. 10/10 would recommend to any friend or family member.

I had my reduction surgery 1 year ago and I have no complaints. He is not one for small talk but is willing to answer all of your questions if you have them. He is very knowledgeable and did a phenomenal job with my reduction. Highly recommended!
My experience with Dr Vander Woude was fabulous!!! During the initial consultation. He was very thorough and took his time explaining everything. Everything after that went well and he took great care of everything post op. I recommend him to everyone.!!
A little backstory…I’m 31 years old, mother of 2. I nursed both of my kids for 18 months a piece but prior to that I wore a 34 D bra, I’m now in a B or sometimes C cup. I was also quite curvy in my teenage years but lost about 80 pounds when I got out of high school so there’s been a lot of weight fluctuations. So my girls are SAD. I’m currently 5’7” 145-150 pounds.
After years of wanting implants, I’m officially 6 days away from my surgery. I ended up switching doctors because

Dr Vander Woude did my breast reduction and has been INCREDIBLE during the healing process and all of it actually. I had a few healing hiccups and he reassured me.
During our consultation he was very kind about my anxieties and how nervous I was.
Dr. Vander Woude was referred to me by a plastic surgeon in the GR area who had retired. I was a little nervous about the surgery since it is on my face (my eye lids) and it's the first thing a person sees when they meet you and what I will see moving forward. The pre-op procedure was exactly what I thought it would be - clear, to the point, and thorough. The procedure itself was a piece of cake - I was awoken during the procedure intentionally so the time spent in recovery
...read moreDr. Vander Woude is my surgeon and performed a breast reduction Sept 2022. I've had daily neck kinks (like when you have to turn your shoulders to look beside you) and low back pain. I stopped going to bootcamp workouts and stopped all weight lifting. I've needed/wanted a reduction for years. Here I am 6 weeks post op and haven't had a stiff neck or low back pain since before surgery. I truly didn't realize how bad it was until it wasn't.
Recovery has been smooth but I am
...read moreThe staff here are exceptional! Every single person was so friendly and informative with the whole process. I had a breast augmentation done and anytime I messaged the staff with questions after the procedure they immediately put my worries to rest. They are so understanding and truly care about how you're healing every step of the way. I highly recommend plastic surgery associates and Dr. VanderWoude. They are the best!
Dr. Vander Woude is very nice and went out of his way to make sure I was always comfortable. He did an amazing job. It has helped so much with myself confidence and appearance. The drive was far but I would recommend him to anyone looking for a breast reduction. Truly worth it.
I highly recommend Dr. Vander Woude and his entire staff!
He is very professional and most importantly he is extremely easy to talk to and personable. Doctor does absolutely beautiful work! I couldn't be happier!
