Plastic surgeons Elizabeth Grasee and Debra Bergman in Carmel, IN, can create a custom mommy makeover plan to restore your confidence.
What Is a Mommy Makeover? A Group of Treatments Tailored To Fit Your Needs
A mommy makeover is a group of body contouring procedures that are customized to your needs. They aim to restore your pre-pregnancy figure. A mommy makeover typically targets the areas most affected by pregnancy, such as the stomach and breasts. It can combine several treatments like liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and fat and enhance your form.
Incredible Results From a Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck at our Carmel plastic surgery office can effectively tighten a sagging abdomen and hide stretch marks created during pregnancy.

The Plastic Surgery Options in a Mommy Makeover
For many women, tissues that were stretched during pregnancy don't "bounce back" after the baby arrives, leaving behind excess skin and stretch marks that do not respond to diet and exercise. A customized mommy makeover treatment plan will combine the best body contouring procedures to meet your aesthetic goals. Patients should note that our Carmel, IN, office has a surgery limit of six and a half hours to ensure your safety and health. A mommy makeover plan could include:
Tummy Tuck
This procedure removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the abdominal wall musculature. A tummy tuck can remove several pounds of excess fat and is often the best way to address post-pregnancy concerns throughout the abdomen. For women who only need a small area corrected, our Indianapolis-area practice also offers mini tummy tucks.
Liposuction
This less invasive cosmetic procedure is recommended for moms with small amounts of excess fat. Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits anywhere on the body, but it cannot address sagging skin. We recommend combining liposuction with a tummy tuck for moms who have a substantial amount of localized fatty deposits and excess abdominal skin that needs to be removed.
Breast Augmentation
Changes in the breasts caused by pregnancy and breastfeeding can result in volume loss. Breast augmentation with implants can restore your breast volume and improve symmetry. Your plastic surgeon will review the types of implants we offer and which ones would help you best achieve your aesthetic goals.
Breast Lift
Breastfeeding and the sudden fluctuation of weight during and after pregnancy can cause your breasts to sag. A mastopexy at our Carmel, IN, practice will reposition the breast tissue, lifting the breasts to achieve a perkier appearance. This procedure works best for mothers who want to change the shape of their breasts, but do not want an increase in size.
Breast Reduction
While many women experience smaller breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding, others do not. Overly large breasts can be uncomfortable and cause chafing, among other concerns. Breast reduction surgery with our plastic surgeons can remove excess fat, skin, and tissue to create smaller, more proportionate breasts.
Thigh Lift
The thighs are the hardest area to target with just diet and exercise alone. The skilled plastic surgeons at our Indianapolis-area practice can perform a thigh lift to remove excess skin and create a more toned appearance. This procedure can also be combined with liposuction to remove excess fat from the inner and outer thighs to create better contours.
"I would highly recommend Carmel Cosmetics. Great experience with office staff, very friendly and accommodating... I am so very pleased with the care provided and absolutely love my results. I appreciate Dr. Grasee and staff for the excellent care and support. I will be back early next year for an arm lift and I am looking forward to it!" Natashia Scheidt
