Combining Procedures for the Best Mommy Makeover For Your Body

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can create lasting changes in your body that are difficult to reverse with healthy eating and exercise alone. 

A mommy makeover helps resolve loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat deposits, stretched muscles, and changes in breast shape or volume that can result from having children. A mommy makeover combines cosmetic procedures to address these changes and restore a more balanced, youthful body contour.

Because every woman’s body and goals are different, the best mommy makeover is highly personalized. Harvard-trained physician Brandon Elnekaveh, MD, of Dr. Brandon Plastic Surgery combines procedures to create natural-looking results that complement your proportions while addressing multiple areas during one surgical plan.

Read on to learn how a mommy makeover can help you.

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to improve areas of the body commonly affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding. Rather than focusing on a single concern, this treatment addresses multiple areas together for more comprehensive results.

Common areas involved include the:

• Abdomen
• Breasts
• Waist and flanks
• Hips and thighs
• Skin (laxity)

Combining procedures can often reduce overall downtime compared to having surgeries performed separately.

What is commonly included in a mommy makeover?

Every mommy makeover is customized, but procedures that may be included are:

Tummy tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is one of the most popular mommy makeover procedures, because pregnancy can stretch abdominal muscles and skin beyond what exercise can repair.

A tummy tuck may help tighten separated abdominal muscles, remove excess loose skin, reduce stretch-marked skin, and improve the abdominal contour. 

Many women appreciate not only the cosmetic improvement but also the restored core support that can come with muscle repair.

Breast augmentation

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to volume loss and changes in breast shape. Breast augmentation restores fullness and enhances breast proportions using implants.

This procedure may be ideal for women who notice changes after breastfeeding, want fuller volume, or desire improved symmetry. 

Breast lift

Some women are happy with their breast size but want to improve sagging or restore a more youthful position. A breast lift reshapes and elevates the breasts for a firmer appearance.

A breast lift may help:

• Improve breast position
• Reposition downward-pointing nipples
• Create a more youthful contour
• Enhance overall breast shape

In many cases, Dr. Brandon combines a breast lift and augmentation for optimal shape and fullness.

Liposuction

Liposuction is often included in a mommy makeover to target stubborn fat deposits that may remain despite regular exercise and healthy habits.

Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and back. 

Why combine procedures?

Addressing multiple areas together creates a more balanced overall transformation and allows your body to appear more proportional and harmonious.

Instead of recovering from multiple surgeries separately, patients can often complete their procedures with one recovery timeline.

Combining procedures allows Dr. Brandon to improve your overall shape and definition rather than focusing on one isolated concern.

Do you want restored confidence in your body?

A mommy makeover isn’t just about achieving some aesthetic ideal. Many women choose these procedures to feel stronger, more comfortable, and more confident after pregnancy and motherhood.
