Mommy Makeover
Post Pregnancy Body Restoration (Mommy Makeover)
Many women experience signicant body changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Post-pregnancy body restoration, commonly known as “Mommy Makeover Surgery”,
oers a comprehensive solution by combining multiple procedures in a single operation.
While customizable to each individual patient, post-pregnancy body restoration most
commonly includes but is not limited to:
Breast surgery: breast lift, breast augmentation, or breast reduction to address tissue changes during pregnancy and lactation
• Tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty): to remove excess skin and fat and to tighten abdominal muscles that may have separated
• Liposuction: to remove areas unwanted fat
• Vaginal rejuvenation: to reconstruct tissue that may have torn or separated
Who performs post-pregnancy body restorative procedures?
A plastic surgeon is the most common specialist to perform mommy makeover surgery.
What is the wait time after pregnancy for a mommy makeover?
At least 6 months after completing breastfeeding and reaching a stable weight. It is also recommended to wait until childbearing is complete and you do not plan any future pregnancies.
Is it safe to have multiple procedures at once?
Yes, combining procedures can actually be safer than multiple separate surgeries as it reduces total anesthesia exposure. However, if surgical time is anticipated to exceed six or seven hours, it is generally recommended to sequence operations to ensure optimal safety and best results. Mommy makeover surgery requires general anesthesia. The length of surgery as well as the anticipated recovery window are based on the procedure scope and extent of changes.
