Mommy Makeover vs Granny Makeover
January 4th, 2024
Generally, the mommy makeover is requested after unwanted changes in the body are due to pregnancy, commonly the breasts and tummy. However, the granny makeover request, actually a misnomer, is simply due to unwanted changes caused by aging. Patients may vary widely, both in age and problem areas seeking attention. So, let’s discuss problem areas most mentioned for this type of rejuvenation makeover. Of course, the face is frequently the first area for concern, including a facelift, to correct sagging jowls, or upper eyelids to correct sagging lids. Body concerns include saggy belly, legs and arms, when diet and exercise is not enough. Although not usually regarded as a granny makeover, cosmetic surgery at any age is well-accepted now, without stigma or judgement. Elective cosmetic surgery is often met with a boost in self-esteem, confidence and well- being. Age is just a number!
Am I a candidate for Mommy Makeover/Weight Loss Makeover?

The cornerstone of the Mommy Makeover is an abdominoplasty, or more commonly called a Tummy Tuck. Pregnancy is not the only cause for women seeking a tummy tightening surgery and breast restoration surgery combo. General weight fluctuations also contribute to excess belly fat/skin, which is commonly accompanied by stretched or laxity of the skin and muscles. In addition, Augmentation for fuller breasts or Breast Lift Surgery is often requested due to weight loss following pregnancy/nursing or as a simple result of a weight-loss program.
In both cases, an office consultation is complimentary and is a good first step to discuss all your options. Best results are obtained when ideal weight is reached before cosmetic surgery.
