What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body shape and appearance. The goal of a Mommy Makeover is to address the physical changes that occur during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, such as excess skin, stretch marks, and lax abdominal muscles. Typically, a Mommy Makeover includes a combination of procedures such as breast augmentation with breast implants to enhance breast size and shape, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and labiaplasty. Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of the patient, ensuring a comprehensive approach to rejuvenation.

Pregnancy, childbirth, and the stress of raising children will nearly always change a mother’s appearance to a greater or lesser extent but the group of procedures we call the mommy makeover has become its most powerful solution.
While genetics ensures that no two women have exactly the same experience, the most frequent complaints of Mommy Makeover patients include:

BREAST SAGGING that is largely caused by the many changes in the size of the breast during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The inevitable weight gains during pregnancy and weight losses afterward are frequent culprits. Hormonal shifts may also cause parts of a mother’s body to shift and the breasts to engorge in preparation for breastfeeding*, only to decrease in size dramatically by the time lactation is finished.

LOOSE, SAGGING ABDOMINAL SKIN AND FAT
that are similarly caused by the unavoidable increases and decreases in the size of the stomach and pelvic areas connected to pregnancy and childbirth. As you probably know all too well, these changes tend to leave skin stretched out. Healthy exercise and a nutritious low-calorie diet can help a lot. Over time, however, the tummy tuck surgery featured in mommy makeovers often proves to be the only way to eliminate the excess skin and any lingering pockets of fat.

MUSCLE SEPARATION (RECTUS DIASTASIS)
in the abdominal area is experienced by an estimated 60 percent of women after childbirth.** It happens when the two core stomach muscle groups, commonly referred to as the abs or six-pack, separate during and after pregnancy under pressure created by the growing baby inside the mom’s uterus. This may happen more often in mothers who are older, have had children before, are having twins or triplets, and who may have a genetic predisposition to muscle separation. The usual result is a small bulge, aka a pooch or baby bump, in the abdominal area – as well as gastric difficulties in some cases. When muscles remain separated, the abdominal surgery included in a mommy makeover may be the only means of resolving the problem. Consult a top mommy make over specialist to get the answers with confidence.

Mommy makeover cost can vary significantly based on factors such as location, the surgeon’s experience, and the specific procedures involved.

What Procedures are Included
in Mommy Makeovers?

Most mommy makeovers involve both tummy tucks and breast surgeries – specifically breast augmentations and breast lifts – often in combination. We’ll start with breast procedures.

Breast
Augmentation

Before work on a mommy makeover breast augmentation begins, Dr. J and a patient will discuss what breast size would be desirable in terms of a proportionate appearance, a physically comfortable fit, and a mom’s lifestyle. The next step is to discuss what kind of breast augmentation would be best for a particular mom’s makeover.

Implant or Fat
Transfer?

Mommy makeover patients who want a notable increase in volume and size will select breast implants, which are available in a range of sizes. Moms who are happy with a more modest result, however, may benefit from augmenting the breast with fat transferred from elsewhere in the body. The fat transfer procedure can produce extremely attractive and natural mommy makeover outcomes. There are two important caveats, however: First, the fat transfer technique can only increase the size of breasts by a maximum of one cup size. Second, since the transferred fat is obtained from elsewhere in the body via liposuction, moms with very little body fat are not candidates.

Breast Lifts

Dr. J begins work on mommy makeover breast lifts, often combined with augmentation, by looking at the patient’s overall situation but also the degree of sagging. He will talk to the patient to find out what kind of outcome is desired Generally speaking, there are four types of breast lifts used in mommy makeovers:

CRESCENT: This mommy makeover breast lift involves an incision in the shape of a crescent made just above the areola. The skin above is removed and the doctor lifts the breast and repositions the areola. The procedure is less invasive than others and involves a more rapid recovery, especially as perfected by Dr. J in his scarless breast lift with breast augmentation.

CIRCUMAREOLAR OR “DONUT BREAST LIFT” This is a somewhat more extensive procedure that may be best for mommy makeover patients who have more loose skin. In this surgery, incisions are made around the areola and are then used the remove excess skin and lift the breast. If desired, the size of the areola may also be reduced. Since the procedure is entirely performed on the edge of the darker skin of the areola, scarring is largely hidden. When combined with placing an implant or using transferred fat, this is another form of scarless breast lift with augmentation often included in mommy makeovers.

VERTICAL OR “LOLLIPOP BREAST LIFT.” An incision is made in a circle around the areola and is followed by a straight incision down the lower portion of the breast – something like the shape of a lollipop. It may be ideal for mommy makeover recipients with more breast ptosis (sagging) compared to those who would be candidates for crescent or circumareolar breast lifts.

WISE PATTERN BREAST LIFT. Often referred to as the inverted T or anchor type of breast lift, this mommy makeover breast lift is used by Dr. J in cases where moms have a larger amount of excess skin to remove and/or more complex issues to address. The technique involves removing skin both vertically and horizontally to defeat sagging while lifting and reshaping the breast. It is generally regarded as ¬the most powerful breast lift for moms who want a dramatic upgrade in their appearance.

Patients should understand that outcomes will vary. Sometimes breasts end up looking fairly similar to their former appearance; in other instances, they will look notably different but greatly improved.
When performing mommy makeovers, Dr. J, as a leading mommy makeover specialist, always uses the latest and best surgical techniques. In some cases, this may include his use of Strattice™, a type of support something like an internal bra Dr. J may also often use for first-time breast augmentations.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A mommy makeover tummy tuck removes excess skin and fatty tissue while tightening the abdominal muscles. Too often, moms blame themselves for being unable to regain their pre-pregnancy tummies. In reality, not even the most rigorous exercise and diet regimen can get rid of skin that has become loose following one or more childbirths and/or a significant weight loss. It also cannot address stubborn fat deposits or rectus diastasis, more commonly known as abdominal muscle separation. A well-performed abdominoplasty, however, can.
Mommy makeover tummy tucks generally consist of:

Types of Tummy Tucks
for Mommy Makeovers

MINI-TUMMY-TUCK. This is usually performed for mommy makeover patients who have had only one or two children. In cases where mini tummy tucks are called for, muscle separation is limited to the abs located under the navel. Some skin will also be removed above the navel and below the chest wall but less than in other surgeries.

STANDARD TUMMY TUCK. In this central mommy makeover procedure, skin may be removed going from hip to hip and all separated abdominal muscles will be repaired. It’s important to note that tightening separated muscles is not just a simple matter of suturing them back together. It’s up to the plastic surgeon to know precisely where to place the muscles in relation to each other; Dr. J notes this is one area where the caliber of the plastic surgeon may make a major difference in terms of the outcome.

Mommy makeover results can vary, and it’s crucial to have realistic expectations about the transformations and outcomes achieved.

Customizing Your Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination of procedures designed to address the unique concerns of each individual. The goal of a Mommy Makeover is to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body, boosting her confidence and self-esteem. To customize your Mommy Makeover, it’s essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will work with you to create a tailored plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your concerns, examine your body, and recommend the most suitable procedures to achieve your desired results. This may include a combination of breast and body procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast reduction. By working closely with your surgeon, you can ensure that your Mommy Makeover is designed to meet your specific needs and help you achieve the best possible results.

Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover

Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover are women who have completed their family and are unhappy with the physical changes that have occurred during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Candidates should be in good overall health, both physically and mentally, and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. It’s also important for candidates to understand that a Mommy Makeover is a surgical procedure that requires a significant amount of time and recovery. Women who are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and are looking for a comprehensive solution to restore their pre-pregnancy body are excellent candidates for a Mommy Makeover.
