What Is Mommy Makeover?
The breasts and abdomen go through drastic changes during and after pregnancy. Many women struggle with volume loss in their breasts, loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat, and diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation). Mommy makeover is designed to address all of these aesthetic concerns with a single procedure.
Mommy makeover typically involves breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction. Some women may opt for breast lift while others want to restore volume with breast implants or both procedures. Vaginal rejuvenation is another option for this combination procedure.
Dr. Harper and Dr. Zoog explain mommy makeover in more detail in the podcast. Our plastic surgeons feature tummy tuck in the video, which offers the most transformative results. The body contouring procedure removes loose skin and tightens muscles for a firmer, flatter stomach.
Tips for Preparing for Mommy Makeover and Recovery
Drs. Harper and Zoog touch on the emotional aspect of having mommy makeover and discuss how women may prepare mentally for the procedure. Many women struggle with self-esteem after having children and may even feel “mom guilt.” Mommy makeover is one way women can reclaim their self-confidence and do something for themselves.
One of the most significant benefits of mommy makeover is that women only go through one recovery process instead of multiple procedures with six to eight weeks of healing. You can prepare for mommy makeover recovery by lining up help at home with chores and childcare, freezing nutritious meals, and creating a healing area where you can easily access snacks, water, and device chargers and can sleep comfortably in a reclined position.
