What is a Mommy Makeover?

Whether you know someone who opted for a mommy makeover or not, it’s likely that you’ve heard of this new, transformative option. That’s because it’s an excellent way to restore your body after pregnancy and childbirth so you can recapture confidence and put the finishing touches on your postpartum weight loss plans. If you’ve considering a mommy makeover or just want to learn more, then here’s what to know about this combination procedure.

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a set of different surgical procedures performed in one surgical session. This comes with a lot of benefits— primarily, it means you’ll need to undergo only one recovery period rather than multiple. Additionally, it means that Dr. DiFrancesco can perform some combination techniques to ensure you get the results you want with the methods that work best.

What can a mommy makeover do?

There are two common areas that are addressed during a mommy makeover because they are most drastically affected by pregnancy.

Breasts

Because of things like pregnancy and nursing, the breasts can become large or deflated. Many women experience changes in their breasts that remain even after their body returns to its normal state, meaning it can feel like there are few options. During a mommy makeover, there are a few effective combination techniques that can be used— the first is a breast augmentation paired with breast lift. This can restore volume with implants while also lifting the breasts and removing sagging skin. Alternatively, many women opt for a breast reduction with breast lift to remove excess volume and rejuvenate the breasts to a more upright position.

Abdomen

Most women experience negative effects in the abdomen like stretched skin, muscle laxity, and stubborn fat. In this case, a tummy tuck can restore the stomach by tightening underlying muscles, removing stretched skin, and restoring a flat profile. Additionally, liposuction is an excellent way to remove stubborn fat from the surrounding areas where fat doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Most often, these two options can be performed at the same time for effective body contouring.
