Is a BBL included in a mommy makeover? What exactly does a mommy make over consist of?

A mommy makeover addresses the common changes to a women’s body after having children. These changes can include changes in the breast such as deflation or sagging. The stomach can have excess skin. The abdominal muscles can become separated. The distribution of excess fat can change also. A mommy makeover refers surgery of the breasts and the tummy. It can also include liposuction of the tummy, thighs, or other areas of the body.This is surgery of the breast may consist a breast lift, augmentation or a combination of both.The surgery of the tummy typically is a tummy tuck procedure. The tummy tuck brings the widened six pack muscles together to flatten the tummy and removes excess skin. Lastly, liposuction can be used to sculpt the body. This is commonly performed on the flank or thighs. Recovery from a mommy makeover takes about two weeks. It’s very important to have help around the house for the first two weeks as the procedure can really slow you down. Also, patients who have had a muscle repair should avoid lifting anything heavy for 4-6 weeks. This can be very important for moms with small children at home. It’s best to have help and a support system in place before surgery.If you're considering fat transfer to your bottom, it's likely best to do two separate procedures. Fat transfer to your bottom requires that you lie face down during their recovery period to take pressure off of the fragile fat. A tummy tuck procedure, which is performed during a mommy makeover, will make it difficult to lie face down. I would recommend liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks first, allow time to recover, and then have a mommy makeover during a separate second procedure.

A mommy makeover refers to procedures that restores a women's body to their pre-pregnancy form.  The most popular concerns include abdomen and breast, however body contouring of other parts are also common place.  With respect to a Brazilian butt, it is hard to recover from this procedure and a tummy tuck at the same time.   After a Brazilian butt lift, I ask patients to sleep on their abdomen for about 2 weeks.  This allows the buttock region to heal appropriately.  After a tummy tuck , you will need to  have your hips in a flexed position.  This makes it very difficult to have a a  For this reason, I often stage the procedures.  I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss these options in more detail.

I perform almost any combination of procedures with tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL, and breast surgery.  I tailor the surgery to the individual.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
