The mommy makeover is a multiple-procedures-in-one surgical package that can transform your body after pregnancy. It’s becoming an increasingly popular choice for moms looking to restore self-confidence and focus on themselves. It’s important to know that the mommy makeover is highly customizable, and you can select the varying procedures that best fit your cosmetic goals. Here’s what to know about the cosmetic surgery procedures you can pick for your mommy makeover and how Dr. Lisa DiFrancesco can help you look and feel your best.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances the breasts using implants. It’s the most popular plastic surgery procedure performed each year, and for good reason. Moms can especially benefit from breast augmentation because of the effects nursing can have on the breasts. If your breasts deflated because of pregnancy, breast augmentation can restore volume and recreate your pre-baby look – or even beyond. A variety of implant, incision, and placement options are available, and Dr. DiFrancesco will help you personalize your surgical procedure accordingly.

Breast Reduction

Some women experience different problems during pregnancy. If you experienced significant growth with nursing and now have breasts that are much larger than before, breast reduction can be a valuable option. Using liposuction and surgical excision, Dr. DiFrancesco can reduce fat and breast tissue respectively. This can help alleviate symptoms like back pain, chafing, and emotional discomfort that can come with having very large breasts.

Breast Lift

The breast lift is an adaptable procedure that can be performed alone or in combination with other breast procedures. It lifts and repositions the breast tissue to a higher position on the chest, getting rid of excess skin. Sagging breasts are a common problem after nursing, meaning the breast lift can restore them to their original state. The breast lift doesn’t enhance or reduce the breasts, so if you’re happy with your size, a breast lift alone can help. If you want to reduce sagging but also want to enhance or reduce your breasts, it can easily be combined with your other breast surgery.

Tummy Tuck

The tummy tuck is one of the most standard procedures in a mommy makeover. Pregnancy can expand the abdominal muscles and skin, and they don’t often retract completely afterward. Many moms are left with stretched, hanging skin, stubborn fat, and separated abdominal muscles after pregnancy. A tummy tuck can address all these at once, even strengthening the abdomen to reduce back pain and incontinence common in postpartum women.

Liposuction

Liposuction is the most effective way to get rid of stubborn fat when diet and exercise don’t work. Many moms become frustrated that they can’t seem to lose baby weight after pregnancy, making liposuction a valuable addition to a mommy makeover surgery. It can remove fat in virtually any area of the body where you have pinchable pockets of fat, such as the stomach, hips, thighs, and upper arms. With the right approach, it can contour the area and create better definition.

Brazilian Butt Lift Add-On

The Brazilian butt lift can be an add-on with liposuction. If you have persistent fat that remained following your pregnancy, Dr. DiFrancesco can remove it with liposuction and add it to your butt, balancing your overall figure and giving you volume where you want it.

Body Lift, Arm Lift, and Thigh Lift

The body lift, arm lift, and thigh lift are body contouring procedures designed to get rid of stretched skin in areas that experienced rapid growth and weight loss. Though less common, these surgical options can sometimes be combined with the standard mommy makeover treatments to achieve a more sculpted, ideal shape. The body lift targets areas like the hips, thighs, and flanks, tightening skin and getting rid of stubborn fat. If you gained significant weight in your lower body and upper arms during pregnancy, these options can help.

Labiaplasty

Many moms don’t talk about the effects that pregnancy and childbirth can have on their most intimate areas. It’s not uncommon for women to experience tearing and stretching of the labia during childbirth, which can sometimes remain even after they’ve recovered every way else. Cosmetic surgery such as labiaplasty can come with some stigma, but know that it can be a valuable part of a mommy makeover procedure. Labiaplasty can be used to remove excess labial skin and reshape the vulva to reduce symptoms like chafing, dryness, infection, and painful sex. It can also help by creating a more confidence-boosting appearance.
