Am I a candidate for Mommy Makeover/Weight Loss Makeover?
July 25th, 2023
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.
Are Mommy Makeovers Still a Big Thing?

Are Mommy Makeovers Still a Thing? Many will agree that having children is one of the most rewarding experiences a mother may have. Yet, the physical effects of pregnancy, especially multiple pregnancies, can leave some women with unwanted and unflattering changes to the body. A complete Mommy Makeover is a combination of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) using body sculpting techniques of the abdomen to tighten stretched muscles and flatten the tummy and restoring breasts to pre-pregnancy size and shape (enlargement, reduction, lift). I do not recommend having both surgeries done at the same time to allow for full recovery in between procedures. My patients are about 50/50 in choosing which surgery to do first and some are even satisfied with electing to only do the initial surgery.
The goal of this post-partum surgery is restore changes that occur in anatomy following pregnancy, when diet and exercise are ineffective. Yes, Mommy Makeovers are still popular for patients considering this type of restorative cosmetic surgery. My patients report being very happy with their decision to have this surgery.
