Mommy Makeover Surgery

Different Types Of Mommy Makeover Surgery

As discussed, a mommy makeover includes a set of cosmetic procedures. It is a personalized approach to reshaping the body of a woman after she has gone through pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The different surgeries that are involved in a mommy makeover are as follows:

Breast Surgery: 

• Breast augmentation: To enhance the size and shape of breasts using implants
• Breast lift (Mastopexy): Removing excess skin and making the surrounding tissue tight to lift the breasts
• Breast reduction: Reducing the size of overly-sized breasts to alleviate any discomfort.

Abdominal Surgery:

• Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removing excess fat and skin from the abdomen and restoring separated or weakened muscles for a smoother and firmer abdomen profile.
• Mini-tummy tuck: Less invasive, it focuses on the lower abdomen
• Liposuction: Removing excess fat from different body parts like the abdomen, hips, back, and thighs to improve the overall body contour and proportion

Buttock Augmentation:

• Butt lift: To lift and tighten the skin around your buttocks.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): To enhance the shape and size of buttocks with fat grafting.
• Vaginal Rejuvenation:
• Labiaplasty: It is done to reshape or reduce the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) or labia majora (outer vaginal lips).
• Vaginoplasty: It involves tightening the vagina and the surrounding muscles, often after a vaginal delivery.

Skin Treatments:

• Laser resurfacing: To improve the texture and appearance of skin and reduce stretch marks.
• Chemical peels: To treat uneven skin tone, fine lines, and sun damage to enhance skin appearance

One doesn't need to go through only one or all of the procedures. A mommy makeover for a person is tailored to her specific needs and it is planned after consulting with a certified plastic surgeon as to which procedures would be best for her. Often, the procedures to be performed are combined into one session to minimize recovery time and maximize results.
