Your Mommy Makeover Procedure
Motherhood impacts the body in a number of ways. Whether you’re a new mom or your children have already left home, as long as you have completed your family and finished breastfeeding, you may be at the right stage of your life for a mommy makeover.
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to address your individual needs and appearance concerns. Some of the most common procedures included in a mommy makeover are listed below, but it’s best to talk with plastic surgeon Dr. Campanile about including additional surgical or nonsurgical treatments to achieve your ideal outcome.
Dr. Campanile will customize your mommy makeover according to your anatomy and cosmetic goals to bring out the best in your natural appearance and address the areas where motherhood has affected you the most.
Tummy Tuck
Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck tightens abdominal muscles that may have become separated as a result of pregnancy or weight gain. Abdominoplasty also removes baggy stomach skin for a sleeker, firmer midsection.
Liposuction
Liposuction sculpts away stubborn fat deposits that remain despite diet and exercise, particularly throughout the abdomen, thighs and upper arms. Lipo can also be used to reduce a double chin, shape the ankles, slim down the back or virtually anywhere else on the body.
Breast Augmentation
If breasts have become smaller or appear deflated following pregnancy and breastfeeding, breast augmentation can add more volume for a fuller, more feminine figure. Dr. Campanile offers a wide range of breast enlargement options, including saline and silicone breast implants as well as fat transfer breast augmentation.
Breast Lift
Also known as mastopexy, a breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts for a more youthful breast appearance. Many women choose to combine their breast enlargement procedure with a breast lift for a curvier, perkier silhouette.
Breast Reduction
Not all women experience a loss of breast volume following childbirth. In fact, many women have the opposite problem and suffer from the physical and psychological burdens associated with overly large breasts. A breast reduction removes breast tissue and excess breast skin while lifting and reshaping the breasts for a more proportional, natural appearance.
The Best Results
Dr. Campanile customizes every mommy makeover according to each woman’s anatomy and cosmetic goals. For some, this may include facial rejuvenation treatments such as BOTOX® or injectable fillers in addition to body contouring or breast enhancement.
You may also wish to include nonsurgical body contouring treatments like VelaShape™ III for improved skin tone and reduced cellulite.
Mommy Makeover FAQ
I’ve read a lot about mommy makeovers, but I’m still feeling uncertain. How can I tell if it’s the right choice for me?
Any cosmetic procedure can feel like a major decision. For some patients, the mommy makeover can feel even more monumental because it’s a combination of procedures instead of only one. My advice is if you’ve researched thoroughly and still feel undecided, come in for a consultation. That will give you the opportunity to discuss your goals and concerns, as well as review some options for a customized approach. Keep in mind that there is no commitment that comes with a consultation, so you’re free to take as long as you like to make your final decision about moving forward.
What are the most common procedures included in a mommy makeover?
First of all, it’s important to understand that a mommy makeover is tailored for every individual. While there is no standard set of procedures for everyone, there are several that have proven to be the most popular:
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Breast reduction
Tummy tucks are probably the most common because so many women end up with excess belly skin following pregnancy. Liposuction can be included to treat stubborn pockets of subcutaneous fat, while breast enhancement procedures can address different concerns related to breast appearance. Additionally, thigh, body and arm lifts may be included as part of a mommy makeover for women who have undergone massive weight loss.
Can facial treatments be included in a mommy makeover?
Absolutely. As rewarding as expanding your family can be, everyday stress can express itself as signs of aging in the face. Nonsurgical med spa treatments are commonly used in mommy makeovers for this reason.
What if I might want to have more children in the future? Is it still okay to get a mommy makeover now?
In general, I recommend completing your family before undergoing a mommy makeover in order to ensure that there is a minimal chance of revision needed in the future if another pregnancy compromises some of the initial results. If you aren’t sure if you will become pregnant again, it’s up to you as to whether you’d like to have a mommy makeover now with the chance of future revision or wait until you’ve made your final decision.
How long do I have to wait after giving birth to have a mommy makeover?
That depends on whether you are nursing. If not breastfeeding, I advise waiting at least 6 months after giving birth because this allows for pregnancy hormones and skin elasticity to reduce to a normal level before undergoing surgery. However, if you are nursing, I suggest waiting until at least a couple of months after weaning because hormone fluctuations continue during this time. Bear in mind that there is no hurry, as you can wait years after having children before getting a mommy makeover.
What can I expect the recovery to be like?
Because the mommy makeover is such a varied procedure that involves a customized approach for each patient, the recovery period will vary as well. Typically, you can expect at least 1 to 2 weeks of downtime followed by several weeks of gradually resuming your normal work and activity routine. I provide my patients with detailed post-operative care instructions so they feel more comfortable about what to expect.
