Mommy Makeover Surgery, Before After Photos, Details
The term “Mommy makeover” most commonly refers to a combined rejuvenation of the abdomen and breasts after childbirth, typically in the form a breast lift and/or augmentation and a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). It is also very common to add liposuction to the thighs, back, and flanks. The catchphrase “Mommy Makeover” is really just a marketing term, and there are no specific requirements that must be met in order for it to be called a Mommy Makeover. In other words, it is highly customizable to each patient and it can be modified to address the specific needs of your body after childbirth.
Depending on each individual patient, she may benefit from any of the following procedures:

Are you a happy mother who isn’t so happy with her body after childbirth?
Since having your children do you notice loose abdominal skin and deflated, sagging breasts? If so, you are not alone! It is very common for board certified Plastic Surgeon Doctor Jason Petrungaro to consult with women struggling to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies who look to a Mommy Makeover. During pregnancy, the abdominal skin stretches and your abdominal muscles are pushed apart to accommodate your growing baby. This often leaves you with loose skin, stretch marks, and a bulging belly after delivery, especially after multiple pregnancies. In addition, the breasts enlarge while milk is produced and then deflate after breastfeeding, leaving you with smaller breasts that often droop and sag.
These changes in your body after pregnancy are permanent and can negatively affect your self image. Every year, thousands of women elect to undergo a Mommy Makeover, helping them regain their pre-pregnancy shape and confidence.
Who is a candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
First and foremost, Mommy Makeover surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you must do it for yourself, not to please someone else or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. It is important that you are in good overall health that you have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of your surgery. During your consultation, Doctor Petrungaro will stress to you that these are major changes to your body and that you must be 100% confident in your decision to proceed.

Request ConsultationThe Mommy Makeover Process
*Your results will vary.
As mentioned earlier, the three most common procedures that constitute a Mommy Makeover are tummy tuck, breast lift and/or augmentation, and liposuction. And remember, a Mommy Makeover can be customized to each individual patient. You can choose to proceed with one or multiple procedures at one time, and you can add or subtract procedures to create a treatment plan designed specifically around you and your goals.
Mommy Makeover Recovery*
Because a Mommy Makeover is a highly customized procedure, recovery will be different for each patient and may take longer for some depending on the procedures performed. You will be required to take at least one week off work to stay home and rest. For the first few days you will need a bit of extra help from family and friends when it comes to getting around the house. You will be able to shower or bathe within 24-48 hours of surgery, and you will have a few small drains in your abdominal area and possibly in each breast that you will need to care for until they are removed at 5-7 days in the clinic. It will be beneficial to wear a compression garment on the abdomen for a few weeks to help with swelling. All strenuous activity (running, sports, yoga, etc.) is absolutely restricted for 6 weeks.
Mommy Makeover Results*
Your new shape and profile will continue to improve during the year following your surgery. It is important to realize that despite having a Mommy Makeover, your body will still continue to change over time due to age and gravity, therefore it is important to adopt and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to assure that your results will last and that you love your new look for years to come. A Mommy Makeover is among the most life-changing Plastic Surgery procedures offered today, and nearly all patients are ecstatic with their results after surgery.
