As a completely personalized procedure, there’s often confusion surrounding the treatments that are included in a mommy makeover. Each patient is given a unique treatment plan based on their cosmetic goals, which makes it difficult for women considering a mommy makeover to figure out what could be included in their surgery. Below, we’re breaking down all of the procedures that could be included in your mommy makeover surgery.
The first component of a mommy makeover is usually a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck procedure targets loose, excess skin and stubborn fat in the stomach – common concerns for new mothers. The tummy tuck involves an incision in the belly button and below the waistline. From here, excess fat and skin will be removed, and the remaining skin will be tightened. We’ll also tighten the abdominal muscles to enhance the contours of the abdomen. The tummy tuck helps women achieve a flat, firm stomach, reversing many of the effects of pregnancy and childbirth.
The second component of a mommy makeover is breast surgery, which can include a variety of techniques depending on the patient’s goals. Most often, patients select a breast lift, which helps lift and tighten the breasts, producing a more youthful, perky appearance. This is ideal for women who have experienced sagging due to pregnancy breastfeeding. Patients who are struggling with large breasts may choose a breast reduction, which can eliminate excess skin and breast tissue to produce results that are in proportion to the rest of the figure. This technique can also be combined with a breast lift. Finally, some patients may choose a breast augmentation. Women who have experienced volume loss in the breasts, or who simply desire larger breasts, can use breast augmentation and breast implants to enhance breast size and shape.
The third component of a mommy makeover is liposuction. Liposuction is a versatile technique that complements the other mommy makeover treatments. With liposuction, we can remove fat from various areas of the body. This can be performed on the abdomen to enhance the results of a tummy tuck, or it can be performed in other areas of the body where stubborn fat is located. Many new mothers find it difficult to lose their baby weight and liposuction offers an effective solution!
Last, patients may consider adding vaginal rejuvenation or labiaplasty treatments to their mommy makeover. After childbirth, vaginal rejuvenation can have many benefits. These treatments can enhance the function of the vagina, helping with urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity and similar changes. Treatments like labiaplasty can also have cosmetic benefits, helping women feel more confident after experiencing the effects of pregnancy.
The beauty of a mommy makeover is that it will be customized entirely for each patient. Your mommy makeover procedure will include only the treatments that you choose to help you achieve your cosmetic goals while reversing the effects of pregnancy.
