What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover includes various cosmetic procedures that address the effects pregnancy and childbirth have on the body. Even after following a healthy diet and exercise plan, many women struggle to get back their pre-baby body. 

The mommy makeover fixes the problematic areas that fail to improve with diet and exercise, boosting a woman’s confidence and self-esteem. 

What concerns can a mommy makeover address?

The mommy makeover fixes many of the effects pregnancy and childbirth have on the body. Some of the issues women want to fix during a mommy makeover include:

• Sagging or asymmetrical breasts
• Enlarged nipples
• Excess abdominal skin
• Stretched or separated abdominal muscles
• Stubborn pockets of body fat

Most plastic surgeons recommend that women wait until they’re done having children before undergoing plastic surgery for a mommy makeover. 

What procedures are part of the mommy makeover?

There are many procedures plastic surgeons use for a mommy makeover. Each mommy makeover is individualized based on needs and goals.

Procedures for the mommy makeover may include:

Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation aims to improve the size and shape of your breasts with breast implants or a fat transfer.

Breast lift

The breast lift removes excess skin and fat to improve the size and position of your breasts. Dr. Elnekaveh may also reposition or reduce the size of the nipple during a breast lift.

Breast reduction

For women with large breasts, Dr. Elnekaveh may perform breast reduction procedures to improve shape and size to improve body proportions.

Brazilian butt lift

The Brazilian butt lift enhances the shape and size of the buttocks.

Liposuction

Dr. Elnekaveh performs liposuction to remove excess fat from various areas of the body that you can’t get rid of with diet and exercise. 

Tummy tuck

Dr. Elnekaveh performs tummy tucks to get rid of excess abdominal skin and tighten the abdominal muscles.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a plastic surgery that reduces the size of the labia minora, which are the outer folds of skin outside the vagina. 

How long is the recovery following a mommy makeover?

Recovery following a mommy makeover varies and depends on the type and number of procedures you undergo. Dr. Elnekaveh may perform more than one procedure at a time for a mommy makeover to reduce your recovery time.

For example, you may have a breast lift and a tummy tuck at the same time, reducing your recovery time by about two weeks.

Upon discharge after a mommy makeover, Dr. Elnekaveh gives you detailed instructions on your recovery.
