The “Mommy Makeover” is a term used for repair of “kid damage”. This is getting you back to that firm, tighter and conditioned body immage you owned before pregnancy. In general, the mommy makeover is rejuvenation of your breasts in some surgical fashion, with a possible augmentation if all you need is more volume and fullness. Otherwise, a breast lift with or without implants can give you lifted breasts with fullness too. A breast lift is necessary if you are droopy and have lost volume on your upper breast as well. Your tummy may also have some issues from loose skin or muscle weakness or both. An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck (with or without liposuction too) will flatten the abdominal wall and tighten the skin. The length of a tummy scar will depend on your body type and frame. I strive to keep the scars low, in keeping with today’s clothing styles. Lastly, the “Mommy Makeover” usually includes some form of liposuction. Usually the hip area or upper abdomen can be done to give you a better result. You may also want to add additional liposuction areas at the same time as in your thighs, knee area or buttock area for a better result as well.
The method of surgery is not complicated; and takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete.
The recovery period is approximately 10 days, however, results take somewhere from 3 to 6 months to allow for healing and swelling to occur.
Only Dr. Virden will be able to tell you which method is best for you.
