What is a mommy makeover?
Like many mothers, you may lead a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and plenty of exercise, but find you still feel that motherhood has taken a permanent toll on your appearance. This can affect your self-image, confidence, and quality of life.
A mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures that address the changes to a woman’s body that come with pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
Which procedures are part of a mommy makeover?
Some of the most common procedures involved in a mommy makeover include:
Breast lift
A breast lift tightens the skin and tissue in the breast area and removes excess skin to improve elevation and firmness or address asymmetry between the breasts.
Breast enhancement
Breast enhancement, or mammoplasty, is designed to increase breast size and firmness or to address asymmetry or reshape the breasts. Saline or silicone implants and natural fat transfers are options available for breast enhancement.
Tummy tuck
An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to tighten both upper and lower abdominal muscles and remove sagging skin, resulting in a smoother, more defined look and a shapely abdominal profile. A tummy tuck also can correct rectus diastasis, a separation in the abdominal muscles that often occurs during pregnancy.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses vacuum-assisted suction to remove fat deposits from stubborn areas. Liposuction creates visible definition and tone and can be combined with a tummy tuck or thigh lift for maximum body contouring.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the length of the labia minora, the inner lips of vaginal opening. As one of the most common vaginal rejuvenation procedures, it helps reduce pain and discomfort during sex and while performing daily activities.
