Mommy Makeover: A mom walking with her child

Mommy Makeover

The Mommy Makeover at Universal Plastic Surgery is a transformative suite of cosmetic procedures that empowers mothers to restore their bodies following the profound changes brought by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. This bespoke approach is meticulously tailored to meet each individual’s aesthetic goals, ensuring your journey toward self-expression and confidence is uniquely represented.

Key Components of the Mommy Makeover

Customized Combination of Procedures
Every Mommy Makeover is designed with the patient’s specific needs in mind. The procedure often includes a personalized blend of breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), and liposuction, delivering tailored results that are in harmony with your body’s transformations.

Restoration of Breast Volume
As a mother, your body undergoes significant changes, especially in the breast area. A Mommy Makeover may involve breast augmentation to replenish lost volume, combined with a breast lift to reposition and enhance the silhouette of your breasts for a rejuvenated, youthful contour.

Abdominal Contouring
Following childbirth, many women experience excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck effectively removes this excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall, creating a flatter, more toned midsection that embodies your ideal shape.

Liposuction for Targeted Fat Reduction
Stubborn fat can persist despite consistent diet and exercise, particularly after pregnancy. Liposuction can be included in your Mommy Makeover to target these areas, enhancing body contouring and providing a sculpted silhouette.

Boosts Self-Confidence
The emotional and psychological benefits of a Mommy Makeover are profound. Many women report increased self-esteem and enhanced body image following the procedure, allowing them to reclaim their pre-pregnancy beauty and confidence.

Postoperative Recovery
Recovery from a Mommy Makeover varies depending on the specific procedures undertaken. Generally, the healing process can take several weeks. During this time, patients are encouraged to seek support in managing daily activities and childcare.

Considerations and Discussions
A thorough consultation with our skilled plastic surgeons is crucial. This initial discussion will center on your personal goals, realistic expectations, and a comprehensive understanding of the procedures, ensuring a safe and rewarding surgical experience.
