Dear Santa
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is a mommy makeover!!!
"Mommy makeover" is an all-encompassing phrase that refers to a combination of body contouring procedures, performed together to improve the physical changes that remain long after pregnancy ends. One reason for its popularity is that the mommy makeover has no set components; each procedure is custom-tailored to fit the individual patient's unique needs. However, the surgical approach generally starts with a breast and an abdomen contouring procedure, then adding additional elements as needed.
As the breasts and abdomen are the primary areas of change with motherhood, a mommy makeover will often center around a breast and abdomen procedure. During pregnancy and breast-feeding, the breasts will also enlarge, increasing as much as a full cup size or more. However, returning back to 'normal' can mean a significant loss in breast volume and noticeable sagging. Throughout a pregnancy, the abdominal muscles, skin and tissues stretch to safely accommodate the growing baby. Unfortunately, after childbirth, these layers may not bounce back to their pre-baby shape.
Your mommy makeover may include:
Breast Augmentation
Breast Lift
Tummy Tuck
Liposuction
Additional procedures may be done as well including a thigh lift or an arm lift or a labiaplasty. Depending on the individual surgeon and the recommended set of procedures, a mommy makeover can be performed during one single operation, or for safety reasons, may be spread out over multiple surgical sessions.
The mommy makeover is ideal for bringing a post-baby body back to its pre-pregnancy shape. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
