What is a Mommy Makeover?

The mommy makeover is one of the most popular operations performed by plastic surgeons. The procedure is a combination of cosmetic breast surgery, liposuction, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). It has been designed to correct changes that occur normally with pregnancy. During pregnancy and breast- feeding, the breasts typically increase in size. After pregnancy and breast- feeding, a variety of scenarios may occur. In some cases, the breasts may not return to their previous size. In this situation, a breast reduction may be necessary.
In other cases, the breasts will shrink to their previous size, but will have excess, saggy skin and require a breast lift. Some patients will lose volume and require a breast augmentation, while others will have sag and volume loss and require a breast augmentation and breast lift.
The abdominal wall is also affected. It becomes stretched and there's usually redundant, saggy skin, stretch marks, and weakened muscles. This will require abdominoplasty, mini abdominoplasty, or abdominal wall liposuction.
Women also frequently note an increase in fat accumulation in their hips and thighs. These patients will typically require liposuction.
There are multiple advantages to performing these procedures in combination. These include an improved overall result, lowered cost, and a single recovery. Patients typically report increased self-esteem, self-image, and an overall improvement in the quality of their lives. For these reasons, the mommy makeover is one of the most popular operations that is currently performed in plastic surgery.

Mommy makeover is a combination of surgeries that address the changes a woman's body undergoes during and after pregnancy. Surgeries include a breast surgery and tummy tuck. There are a variety of breast surgeries which may include lift, augmentation or both. There are different types of tummy tucks as well.  These surgeries are often performed together or sometimes may be staged.  Best would be a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well experienced and can go through your many options. Ideally you would want to consult a plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and American Society or Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons or ASAPS.

You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in full body surgical improvements to determine what is best for you and your goals.
“Mommy Makeover” is a popular term for a combination of procedures intended to return women to their pre-pregnancy (or pre-weight loss) appearance, including breast surgery, abdominal surgery, and oftentimes a liposuction of the hips, flanks, and/or inner and outer thighs. The type of breast and body surgery specifically performed is customized to each individual patient. For the breast portion, this can mean a simple augmentation, an augmentation with a mastopexy, or a reduction, depending on the individual. Abdominal surgery may involve a full or mini-abdominoplasty -- or sometimes simply liposuction. Regardless of the exact procedures used, my goal is always the same: to return each patient to a more youthful and natural appearance, consistent with (or sometimes even better than) their pre-pregnancy physique.
