The traditional mommy makeover typically includes a full tummy tuck, liposuction, a breast lift and/or breast augmentation, but not every woman needs each of those procedures. Enter the “mini” version of the mommy makeover, which uses smaller surgeries to focus on specific problem spots.
A Mini Tummy Tuck for a Mini Makeover
For those mommies who need just a little help, the mini tummy tuck offers focused improvement with less recovery time compared to a full abdominoplasty.* The mini tummy tuck addresses the low abdomen from the belly button to the pubic region only. Like the full version of the procedure, a mini tummy tuck can tighten muscle and remove excess skin, although to a lesser degree.
The Mini Breast Lift
The “donut” mastopexy works like a mini version of a traditional breast lift. Like the mini tummy tuck, a mini breast lift offers a limited amount of correction that can still be the right degree of improvement in the right candidate. Incisions are hidden in darker pigmented skin around the areola.
Mini Facial Rejuvenation
Another “mini” area that could be considered for a mommy seeking relatively minor procedures is facial rejuvenation. Using injectables such as BOTOX® and dermal fillers, your plastic surgeon can temporarily minimize wrinkles during a simple outpatient treatment.*
With smaller procedures such as these, even mommies who only want minor improvements can benefit from a customized mommy makeover. While the surgeries may technically be considered “mini,” they’re mighty enough to help you meet your appearance goals.*
