What is Mommy Makeover plastic surgery?

Mommy Makeover

The birth of a child is probably the most rewarding experience for a woman. However, pregnancy, breastfeeding and childbirth often take a physical toll on the mom’s body and may make her feel self-conscious about her looks. Fortunately, it is possible to reverse or correct the cosmetic effects, such as loose skin, stretch marks, and localized fat bulges and restore a pre-pregnancy figure with a mommy makeover plastic surgery.

A mommy makeover typically combines two or more cosmetic surgeries, which makes it a more elaborate and complex procedure. You should work with a well-qualified surgeon who can customize your mommy makeover to match with your unique needs and deliver safe, predictable, and natural looking results.

If you are looking to achieve a more proportionate, firm, and youthful looking figure that resembles closely with your pre-pregnancy appearance, you should consider a mommy makeover. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Peter Koltz provides breast augmentation to patients in Toledo, Maumee, Northwest Ohio, Southeastern Michigan, and surrounding locations.

A Customized Mommy Makeover Surgery Plan

Depending on your age, physical condition, and personal aesthetic needs, your cosmetic surgeon will create a customized mommy makeover plan. Procedures usually included as part of a mommy makeover plastic surgery are as follows:

Breast implants
Breast lift
Breast reduction
Liposuction
Tummy tuck
Brazilian butt lift
Thigh lift
Upper arm lift
Cellulite and stretch mark reduction

In some cases, the surgeon may recommend surgical or non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments to be combined with your mommy makeover for a more appealing finishing touch. Be prepared to participate proactively in your consultation process so that you get the results you are truly looking for from this surgery.

Your surgeon may prefer to perform your comprehensive mommy makeover surgery all at once so that you have to undergo anesthesia, surgery, and recovery process only once. Skilled surgeons are able to use common incisions to perform multiple procedures in a mommy makeover to make the procedure less invasive and minimize subsequent scarring.

Aesthetic Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

A key advantage with a mommy makeover surgery is that you can choose how minimal or extensive you would like your procedure to be and which areas you particularly wish to correct. In all cases, a mommy makeover cosmetic surgery will be able to provide the following benefits:

A sleeker, tauter figure
Removal of loose or hanging skin
Improved muscle tone and definition
Reduction of stretch marks and cellulite
Smoother and more supple skin texture
More proportionate and youthful appearance
Health benefits if excess skin or fat is causing discomfort

Recovery

Depending on the type and number of plastic surgery procedures included in your mommy makeover, your surgeon will provide you an estimated recovery timeline. In general, you should be ready to return to your normal routine in about two weeks after your surgery.
