Many women find even the most diligent diet and exercise program cannot correct post-pregnancy concerns such as sagging breasts, excess skin and fat deposits in areas such as the hips.

Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are women who are healthy, at a stable weight and want to correct post-pregnancy concerns such as excess fat, sagging skin, muscle laxity and lost breast volume.

This procedure also can be ideal for busy moms who want to achieve their cosmetic goals without the downtime required for separate staged procedures. Women should wait to have surgery until they are finished having children. Pregnancy and breastfeeding after your mommy makeover can undo your overall results and may require revision surgery.

It’s important to have realistic goals about which procedures can be combined, and your surgeon can help you understand which treatments are appropriate for your needs.

Prior to your procedure, you will schedule a consultation at Kaufman & Davis Plastic Surgery. This consultation is designed as a forum for you and your surgeon to discuss your specific areas of concern and cosmetic goals. In addition, you will learn about your options. For example, if you are interested in liposuction and breast augmentation, your doctor will explain the different types of liposuction and also discuss options such as breast implant type.

During your consultation, you and your surgeon will determine together which procedures should be used to achieve the results you desire.

Although individual results vary, you should be able to see slimmer, more defined figure once your final results are revealed. Many of our patients say that feel more like themselves again after completing their mommy makeover surgery. A mommy makeover can help you get back to your pre-pregnancy body.

While a mommy makeover surgery can provide long-lasting results, you need to do your part to maintain your results. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly can help you enjoy your new contours for years to come.
