What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a tailored set of procedures designed to help women reclaim their pre-pregnancy bodies. Using advanced surgical methods and innovative technologies, this combination treatment focuses on restoring and enhancing areas affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. From reshaping your breasts to tightening your abdomen, a Mommy Makeover is your opportunity to feel like the best version of yourself.

What aesthetic issues can be addressed with a Mommy Makeover?

Whether your concerns are related to sagging skin, stubborn fat, or changes in breast shape, a Mommy Makeover can target a range of aesthetic issues. Common concerns include:

  • Deflated or Sagging Breasts: Restore fullness and lift for a youthful appearance.
  • Loose Abdominal Skin: Tighten the tummy and repair muscle separation (diastasis recti).
  • Stubborn Fat Pockets: Contour the waist, hips, thighs, or other areas resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Stretch Marks: Minimize the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen.
  • Changes in Body Proportions: Achieve a more balanced and harmonious silhouette.
  • Signs of Facial Aging: Smooth wrinkles or restore volume with non-surgical options.

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive way to address post-pregnancy changes that provide lasting, transformative benefits, including:

  • Personalized Results: Each makeover is tailored to your unique goals and body.
  • Comprehensive Improvement: Multiple concerns can be addressed in a single session.
  • Enhanced Breast Aesthetics: Lift, reshape, and restore volume for perkier, more youthful breasts.
  • Tighter Abdominal Area: Achieve a firmer, flatter midsection with tummy tuck techniques.
  • Better Body Contours: Sculpt and refine your curves with liposuction or non-surgical fat reduction.
  • Improved Clothing Fit: Enjoy wearing your favorite outfits with greater confidence.
  • Boosted Self-Esteem: Feel more comfortable and confident in your body.
  • Minimized Downtime: Combining procedures reduces overall recovery time compared to spacing them out individually.

Is a Mommy Makeover Right for Me?

The main objective of a mommy makeover is to help restore the figure you enjoyed before pregnancy.

Mommy makeovers are designed to address specific problem-areas such as the breasts and abdomen. Women often undergo mommy makeovers to correct:

  • Visible fat accumulation on the midsection
  • Loose abdominal skin accompanied by stretch marks around the waistline
  • Sagging or asymmetrical breasts, drooping nipples, and stretched areolas
  • Reduced breast volume
  • Significant increase in breast volume, causing a disproportionate look or physical discomfort

Our plastic surgeons will discuss your concerns and desired outcome during your initial consultation. Ideal mommy makeover candidates are in good overall health. If you smoke, you will need to quit before your procedure and throughout your recovery.

What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?

A Mommy Makeover is a fully customizable experience. Depending on your goals, it may include:

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck focuses on tightening loose abdominal skin and repairing separated abdominal muscles, a common issue following pregnancy. By removing excess skin and fat, this procedure helps achieve a flatter, more toned midsection. The results not only improve your silhouette but also provide functional benefits, such as improved core strength and posture.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a targeted fat removal technique that sculpts areas like the abdomen, hips, thighs, and back. Our surgeons safely remove stubborn fat deposits, creating smoother contours and a more defined body shape. This procedure complements other surgical options in a Mommy Makeover, enhancing overall results.

Breast Lift

A breast lift rejuvenates sagging breasts by lifting and reshaping them for a more youthful appearance. This procedure restores the breasts to a higher position, addressing the effects of gravity and breastfeeding. The result is a natural, perky look that enhances your confidence in and out of clothing.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation enhances breast volume and shape using implants or fat transfer techniques. Whether you want to restore fullness lost after pregnancy or achieve a more dramatic enhancement, this procedure can be customized to meet your desired outcome. The result is beautifully proportioned, symmetrical breasts.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction focuses on decreasing the size of overly large breasts to improve comfort and body proportions. This procedure alleviates physical discomfort, such as back pain or shoulder grooves from bra straps, while creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing figure.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift addresses loose skin and excess fat in the inner or outer thighs. This procedure reshapes and contours the thighs, creating smoother and more toned legs. It is especially beneficial for those who struggle with sagging skin due to weight loss or post-pregnancy changes.

Arm Lift

An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more sculpted and youthful appearance. This procedure is ideal for addressing "bat wings" or sagging skin caused by aging or significant weight loss, helping you feel more confident in sleeveless clothing.

Botox

Botox is a non-invasive treatment that smooths fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles. This quick procedure is perfect for addressing crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, giving you a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance with no downtime.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a cutting-edge, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. Ideal for areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, CoolSculpting provides noticeable results without the need for surgery or recovery time.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers restore lost volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under-eye regions, enhancing your natural contours and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. With a variety of filler options, this treatment can be tailored to achieve a youthful, well-balanced look.

Skin Tightening Treatments

Our non-surgical skin tightening treatments improve skin elasticity and firmness. These procedures stimulate collagen production, helping to address sagging skin on the face, neck, or body for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Mommy Makeover Results

Results from a Mommy Makeover can be life-changing. Most patients see a significant improvement in their appearance within weeks, with final results emerging as swelling subsides over a few months. While the effects of the procedures are long-lasting, maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results for years to come.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Mommy makeovers involve multiple procedures, both breast enhancement procedures and body contouring procedures, so it is important to allow uninterrupted time for your body to rest and heal. Considering the many responsibilities of new mothers, simply finding time to rest can be a challenge. You will likely need the support of family and loved ones during this time.

You will be fitted with the necessary garments and bandages following your surgery. These will help to minimize swelling and maximize healing. You will also be given detailed instructions for how to prepare for your surgery and postoperative instructions to ensure your recovery is as quick and comfortable as possible. It will be crucial to follow these instructions closely.

Recovery periods usually last approximately three to four weeks. You should avoid exercise and limit your activities during this period. Following your recovery, proper diet and exercise will help you maintain your results.

Scarring with Mommy Makeover

Scarring is a natural part of any surgical procedure, but we take every measure to minimize its appearance. Using advanced techniques, our surgeons place incisions strategically so they can be concealed beneath clothing or swimsuits. Additionally, we provide post-operative care recommendations and treatments to help reduce the visibility of scars over time.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?

The cost of mommy makeovers varies.

The price of your surgery will be based on the individual procedures you choose and the degree of work needed to achieve your ideal outcome. The procedures involved in mommy makeovers are generally considered elective surgeries and are not typically covered by health insurance.

If you would prefer to not pay for your mommy makeover out-of-pocket, New Jersey Plastic Surgery offers financing options through PatientFi and CareCredit. Our staff will be happy to explain all of your payment options. We will provide you with any necessary financing information you need at your initial visit.
