Few things change your body more than pregnancy and childbirth. It’s a fact of life, and though many moms will tell you that it’s well worth it, adjusting to and accepting those changes can be difficult. That’s why mommy makeover procedures continue to grow in popularity. “‘Mommy makeover<\/a>’ is a bucket term that refers to a combination surgery. For most women, it involves procedures that affect the areas of the body that change the most after having a baby, typically the breasts and abdomen,” explains Dr. Ashley Amalfi<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Rochester, New York. The specifics can vary, but this can be anything from a breast lift<\/a> or breast augmentation<\/a> plus an abdominoplasty<\/a> and\/or liposuction<\/a>, she adds. <\/p>

The big caveat here, underscored by every doctor we spoke to, is that there is simply no type of minimally invasive or noninvasive treatment out there that will yield results that are equivalent, or even close to, those of a surgical mommy makeover. Still, for moms<\/a> who don’t want to go under the knife or may not necessarily be good candidates for surgery, there are alternative options that can help address some of the concerns traditionally targeted during a mommy makeover. <\/p>

Here, six nonsurgical mommy makeover procedures for breasts, belly, and more.<\/p>

“While not a substitute for a tummy tuck<\/a>, this can be either a nice adjunct treatment after one or even done on its own,” says Dr. Amalfi. The treatment<\/a> relies on electromagnetic energy to stimulate and build muscle coupled with radiofrequency energy that can help destroy a small amount of fat. “This treatment won’t fully repair diastasis recti, as the only way to do so is through surgery that brings the separated muscles back together,” she notes. However, it can strengthen the core, leading to a more toned appearance as well as often helping to alleviate some of the back pain that women have post-baby, she adds.<\/p>

If abdominal skin texture and laxity<\/a> are your primary concerns, Dr. Marnie Nussbaum<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, says this radiofrequency microneedling treatment is worth considering. It won’t address any muscular changes; rather, it targets sagging skin and fat, she explains: “It works by creating tiny microchannels that prompt the skin to repair itself, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. The radiofrequency energy helps heat the deeper layers under the skin, to both stimulate collagen growth as well as melt away fat.” Just plan on having at least three treatments, once every four weeks, which can cost about $1,500 each.<\/p>
