Mommy Makeover

Common Mommy Makeover Procedures

The steps involved in a Mommy Makeover may vary based on your individual needs and goals. Common procedures include:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

This surgical procedure corrects changes in the abdomen that occur after pregnancy, like stretch marks. It removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal area. It also tightens the underlying muscles to create a flatter and more toned contour.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breastfeeding and pregnancy can lead to sagging and deflated breasts. A breast lift restores the shape and position of the breasts by removing excess skin and moving the nipple and areola. We can also combine it with breast augmentation to add volume and fullness.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a body contouring and weight loss procedure that removes stubborn pockets of fat. Target areas include the hips, thighs, love handles, bra rolls, neck, and arms.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation involves the use of breast implants to increase the size and fullness of the breasts. We often perform this in combination with a breast lift to achieve the desired shape and volume.

Breast Reduction

Some women may experience overly large and heavy breasts after pregnancy. This can cause discomfort and imbalance in the body. Breast reduction surgery reduces the size and weight of the breasts, creating a more proportionate and balanced figure.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty addresses changes in the labia that can occur after childbirth. It involves removing excess tissue from the labia to improve both hygiene and appearance.

Our practice customizes and combines these procedures based on your individual needs and goals. We will discuss specific treatment options during your consultation with Dr. Fan. He will create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

How Long is Mommy Makeover Recovery?

Recovery time can vary depending on the number of procedures performed and individual healing ability. Initial recovery may involve soreness, discomfort, and a need for rest at home, with periodic walking recommended.

Full recovery, including standing upright, can take between 5 to 7 days. You must avoid strenuous activities, including lifting over 20 pounds, for about six weeks. Full recovery and feeling "back to normal" typically take 3 to 6 months.

Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy Makeover candidates are typically healthy mothers who have finished having children and are close to their goal weight. Ideal candidates should have realistic expectations and a desire to regain their pre-pregnancy appearance. Other requirements include good overall health, being a non-smoker, and having a BMI of 35 or less.
