Mommy Makeover

Mommy Makeovers almost always involve a combination of breast surgery and a tummy tuck but may also include liposuction of one or more areas.

What is Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy, especially multiple pregnancies, can result in undesirable changes in the breasts and abdomen that cannot be corrected by diet and exercise alone. After completing their pregnancies, many patients desire a restoration of their pre-pregnancy contours or even an improvement. Mommy Makeovers almost always involve a combination of breast surgery and a tummy tuck but may also include liposuction of one or more areas.

The Mommy Makeover Procedure

Breast Changes and Corrections: During pregnancy, and afterward if breastfeeding, the breast gland increases in size, causing the skin to stretch. Once breastfeeding ends, the gland shrinks, and the skin may not return to its previous state, often leading to decreased breast size and a droopy appearance. Surgical options to correct these issues include breast augmentation, a breast lift, or a combination of the two to restore or enhance breast shape and volume.

Abdominal Changes and Corrections

Pregnancy significantly impacts the abdomen. As the baby grows, the abdominal muscles are pushed outward and apart to accommodate the growing uterus, and the skin stretches. Significant weight gain usually accompanies this process. After childbirth, the abdomen typically does not return to its pre-pregnancy shape. Muscles often remain somewhat separated, and there is usually extra loose skin and possibly some remaining fat. These issues can only be corrected surgically. The iTuck® abdominoplasty, performed by both Dr. Kirn and Dr. Al Bayati, is an excellent choice to address excess skin, muscle separation, and fat, providing a firmer and more toned abdominal contour.

Comprehensive Consultation

As with all procedures performed by Dr. Kirn and Dr. Al Bayati, the first step in a Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive consultation to review your specific needs, outline the available options, and review computer imaging to help you visualize the potential outcomes.

A Mommy Makeover offers a holistic approach to body rejuvenation, addressing the key areas affected by pregnancy to help you regain or even enhance your pre-pregnancy figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Most commonly it is a combination of breast surgery (augmentation, lift, or augmentation-lift) with a tummy tuck. In our case, the breast surgery is combined with the iTuck® abdominoplasty procedure.

What are the disadvantages of combining Mommy Makeover surgeries together?

While combining Mommy Makeover surgeries into one operation means you'll only have one recovery period, it may be slightly longer or more challenging than recovering from a single procedure. Additionally, the risk of blood clots in your legs likely increases when multiple procedures are combined. Preventative measures are taken during surgery to minimize this risk, but it is crucial for the patient to walk and move around after surgery to further reduce the chance of developing blood clots.
