A mommy makeover usually includes a combination of procedures depending on your desires and needs. Dr. Szpalski will discuss with you and elaborate on a unique treatment plan that fits your body and desire. Most mommy makeovers include a combination of breast surgery (breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift) and a tummy tuck/liposuction procedure. Every mommy makeover surgery is personalized to meet each woman’s unique goals or needs.
Breast rejuvenation after having children corrects changes in the breasts that inevitably occur with pregnancy. Most women wish to address breast deflation or sagging and to regain their former perkier and youthful breasts. Breast augmentation (with an implant or fat grafting), breast lift (mastopexy), combination lift and implant, or breast reduction are procedures commonly sought by moms to rejuvenate their breasts.
A tummy tuck is often the foundation of a Mommy Makeover. Pregnancy creates permanent changes in most Moms’ tummies: excess abdominal skin, stretch marks, persistent tummy fat, separated and stretched-out abdominal muscles with loss of tone, and a bulging tummy contour. Abdominoplasty surgery creates a firmer, flatter belly, removes stretch marks, corrects abdominal laxity, and creates a slimmer silhouette.
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that eliminates stubborn fat deposits from specific body areas. With less downtime than more invasive surgical procedures, liposuction is a simple and effective way for Moms to treat persistent fat stores once they have achieved their optimal weight and become physically fit after having children.
After repeated vaginal deliveries, with age or for congenital reasons, the labia minora (inner lips of the vulva) can hang lower and develop redundancy. Moms interested in labiaplasty seek cosmetic or functional improvement in this area. Labiaplasty creates a more neat appearance to the external genitalia; occasionally, excess tissue around the clitoral hood is also carefully trimmed as part of the procedure.
