A mommy makeover is a combination of two or more plastic surgery procedures performed to restore a woman’s figure after pregnancy. Dr. Erika Sato created this informative infographic on exploring the different options patients have when undergoing a mommy makeover. Some procedures that may be involved in a mommy makeover are abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction, breast lift, breast augmentation, and labiaplasty.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, removes excess skin and fat. The muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened to flatten and shape the abdomen.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes excess localized fat and can be performed in conjunction with an abdominoplasty. SmartLipo Triplex is a less invasive, laser option.
Breast Lift + Augmentation
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave the breasts sagging and deflated. A breast lift and augmentation can add volume to and lift the breasts.
Labiaplasty
Childbirth and hormonal changes can enlarge or stretch the labia minora. Labiaplasty can restore the area to its pre-pregnancy appearance.
