Mommy Makeover: Creating Your Ideal Outcome
Your mommy makeover will combine several surgical procedures in a single session, giving you the ability to avoid multiple recovery periods. The procedure will be customized to your needs and may include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, a breast lift, and liposuction. You might also include a perineoplasty that will tighten the entrance to the vagina and vaginoplasty to repair and tighten the floor of the vagina. Some people also add a Brazilian butt lift for contour.
The Abdomen
Abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, can help create a flatter abdomen and repair stretched muscles on the abdominal wall. There are a few variations in technique that Dr. Cho or Dr. Climov may recommend, including a mini-tummy tuck that involves a shorter incision. Minimally invasive options like BodyTite can also be called upon to tighten and tone abdominal muscles that have been impacted by childbirth. In most cases, the quality of your skin and the degree of laxity that is present will determine which technique Dr. Cho or Dr. Climov feels is right for you.
The Breasts
Cosmetic breast surgery is a common part of the mommy makeover. Our Surgeons, Dr. Cho or Dr. Climov can restore fullness to your breasts or elevate them to a more youthful position with a breast lift or breast augmentation. Breast augmentation requires the placement of a saline or silicone breast implant, while the breast lift requires surgical tissue tightening to correct breast sagging. An internal bra can also be used to support implants once they have been placed. For patients interested in more subtle improvements, a fat transfer procedure may be ideal.
Body Contouring
Dr. Cho or Dr. Climov can use liposuction to remove persistent areas of localized body fat, such as the arms, thighs, tummy, back, and neck. For safety, a limited amount of fat can be removed with liposuction. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but a proven mommy makeover method of selective body fat removal. Stretch marks can also be addressed with tissue remodeling procedures like BodyTite, Profound, Morpheus8, CO2 resurfacing, and CO2 laser resurfacing. Fat grafting also has a regenerative aspect that can be used in body contouring.
How Many Procedures Can A Mommy Makeover Include?
A mommy makeover includes more than one procedure, and the number of procedures performed is customized based on your goals, your age, your health, and your body’s needs. Your mommy makeover will be customized according to your specific goals and the changes your body underwent during the childbearing process. Some patients come to us seeking subtle changes, while others may be looking for more significant adjustments to their frame and figure.
We’ll combine a number of options for each area, paying particular attention to the breasts and abdomen. Belly button reconstruction often forms an important part of the mommy makeover, and Dr. Cho or Dr. Climov will work with you to explore various techniques that can create a pleasing abdominal appearance while restoring the belly button to an ideal position.
What are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a reshaping, using surgery, to return your body to a younger looking appearance. It is a strong intervention and if you’re disappointed with how you look because of the effects of pregnancy, a mommy makeover can help. It is a stronger solution than non-surgical options like skin tightening, working out, and various health fads that are unable to address the underlying changes in your body the way surgery can.
- You can return to the youthful look you had before pregnancy.
- You will only have anesthesia once for several procedures.
- You will only have a single recovery period.
- Dr. Cho or Dr. Climov may be able to help with medical issues during surgery, such as hernia repairs, urinary incontinence, and back pain.
