Mommy Makeover 1, 2, 3- What Three Procedures Are Most Common in a Mommy Makeover?

Your mommy makeover will be customized to you, but more often than not, we include three top procedures. Let’s learn a little more about the benefits of each. Rediscovering your pre-baby body is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Why Does a Mommy Makeover Typically Include Breast Surgery?

The breasts often undergo substantial changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. They lose fullness, often resulting in a condition known as ptosis, or breast sagging. Size may increase, decrease, or remain the same as your pre-pregnancy breasts. To get your breasts back to their youthful look, breast surgery is often needed.

Dr. Sajjadian’s plastic surgery philosophy revolves around compassionate patient care and attention to detail. He is widely respected by his colleagues and peers, and works diligently to reveal every patient’s natural and unique beauty.

He may recommend one or both of the following options:

  • Breast Lift- During a breast lift, we remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue, positioning it higher on the chest wall. Performed on its own, breast size will remain similar, but your shape will be more youthful and perky.
  • Breast Augmentation– Breast augmentation increases breast size by placing a saline or silicone implant into the breast. It can be used to provide a small, moderate, or large size increase. Results last as long as the implant is in place.

Do I Need a Tummy Tuck with My Mommy Makeover?

Having a baby stretch out your abdominal skin and muscles can certainly change your shape, but with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), you can get it back. We often include abdominoplasty in a mommy makeover.

During a tummy tuck excess skin is removed, abdominal muscles are tightened, and the area is reshaped. Get your tight, flat abdomen back.

Is Liposuction Part of a Mommy Makeover?

Hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause the body to develop stubborn fat deposits. This fat is often diet and exercise resistant and can be difficult to lose using traditional weight loss methods. If you’re close to your ideal weight, but struggling with unwanted fat, ask us about liposuction. This procedure removes fat cells permanently.

Liposuction can be used to shape many areas including:

  • Arms
  • Under the chin
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Back
  • Thighs
