FAQs About Mommy Makeovers

Many women struggle with their post-pregnancy bodies. Yes, they have the beautiful baby, but they are left with a body they are no longer happy with. After working out and dieting proves fruitless, more and more women are turning to plastic surgery for help. The mommy makeover has become the “go to” procedure after your family is complete.

If you’re considering a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift or breast augmentation, you likely have questions. Read on to get your questions answered about Mommy Makeovers.

Q. What exactly is a Mommy Makeover?

A. A Mommy makeover uses multiple procedures to make the breast and abdomen areas more youthful in appearance. This often means fixing the issues caused by pregnancy. This can include loss of volume or sagging in the breasts or excess fatty tissue or loose skin in the stomach and hips.

Q. What are some options I can choose from for a Mommy Makeover?

A. Women can choose from breast reduction, breast augmentation, breast lift, mini tummy tuck, tummy tuck and liposuction.

Q. If I get a Mommy Makeover now, can I have kids later, should I change my mind?

A. For best results, it’s recommended that you get a Mommy Makeover after you are done having kids. If you get a Mommy Makeover now and decide to have kids three years down the road, your stomach will get stretched again. If you breastfeed your child, the breasts may start to sag again as well. Pregnancy will essentially undo all the work you achieved.
