What's a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is usually two procedures: breast enhancement and body sculpting. Depending on her needs a woman might wish her breasts to be larger, so she would opt for a breast augmentation. If her breasts have begun to sag due to aging or breastfeeding, a breast lift might be all that's needed, or performed with an implant procedure, to return her breasts to a perky, natural level on the chest wall.
For some women, overly large breasts were a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding or, perhaps she has had very large breasts her entire life and has finally decided she wants to change things. Since a breast lift is part and parcel of a breast reduction, it reduces the breast size while lifting the breasts up. Our breast reduction patients are ecstatic with their smaller, lifted breast appearance.
Women who have had children or who have gone through cycles of weight loss and weight gain often have stretch marks. Although these ugly lines can be treated with laser skin resurfacing, a Mommy Makeover eliminates all or almost all stretch marks, as excess skin is removed during the tummy tuck procedure, and bye-bye stretch marks! The belly muscles that may have separated over time or with pregnancy are sewn back in place, providing much better abdominal support as well as a more attractive tummy. Sometimes I'll add a little liposuction for women who need it--the fat can be used to fill places where you might need it, such as in facial wrinkles, the backs or hands or the lips.
