Mommy Makeover
Approximate duration of surgery: 4 – 6 hours General Anesthesia
The Procedure
The term mommy makeover was coined in New York in 2005 and has increased in popularity since. Pregnancy can take a toll on a woman’s body. Some of the effects of pregnancy include but are not limited to: a stretched abdominal wall and loss of breast volume due to breastfeeding. These changes are most common in women who have had multiple pregnancies and those who have given birth at an older age. A mommy makeover is meant to erase these signs and restore a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy appearance.
The benefits of having a mommy makeover are being able to combine several procedures, thus lowering recovery time as well as cost. The following procedures can be combined during a mommy makeover to ensure mommies look their very best: abdominoplasty with breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast lift/augmentation.
