Mommy Makeover

Motherhood can be a mixed blessing. Along with the overwhelming love and bliss that a child can bring into your life, your body may be far from what you remember it looking like. When you have a baby, your body undergoes significant changes – expanding and stretching to allow for your infant to grow. After your baby is born, you may not have the time or energy to devote to personal care, which can further impact your appearance.

At Southeastern Plastic Surgery, our board-certified cosmetic surgeons understand the impact pregnancy and nursing can have on your body. During your free mommy makeover consultation, we will assess your entire body, and provide you with information on every procedure that can restore your body to its pre-pregnancy state.

Mommy Makeover Procedures

A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures that can tighten and tone your body during a single surgery. Commonly, a mommy makeover consists of procedures such as:

• Abdominoplasty to remove excess fat, skin, and stretch marks from your abdomen
• Liposuction to target isolated stubborn pockets of fat.
• Body lift to ideally sculpt your abdomen, hips, and waist
• Breast lift to restore a perky, youthful appearance to your breasts
• Breast augmentation to give your breasts a full, shapely appearance
• Thigh lift to remove fat and firm the appearance of your thighs
• Buttock lift to produce a firm, higher profile to your posterior

By combining these procedures at our AAAASF-certified surgical center, your recovery time is reduced, and the body you have always dreamed of is obtained in a much shorter period of time. You may see a significantly reduced cost of the plastic surgery procedures and a more streamlined recovery.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Your recovery will depend on the number of procedures you selected to reach your goals. In general, a recovery period of one to two weeks is necessary before returning to work. Moderate exercise can be resumed within one month, and strenuous exercise can begin after two months.

It will be necessary to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and help your skin firm to your contours during the recovery period. Any pain can be controlled with the use of pain relievers prescribed by our surgeons.

This is an involved procedure that requires adequate time and rest to recover from. It is not recommended that women who are still breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant again have a mommy makeover. However, if you are finished having children and want to look as beautiful as your children make you feel, a mommy makeover is an ideal, one stop procedure that can help you reach your goals.
