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.
