Every mother will have a different experience on the day of their Mommy Makeover based on the surgery they are receiving. We will use anesthetics of some sort to provide you with the easiest and most comfortable surgical experience, so there should be no reason to be concerned about pain during the procedure. Depending on which procedures you are having performed will change what you should expect during your Mommy Makeover, but we’ve listed some of the more common procedures:

Breast Lift/Augmentation: Since your breasts naturally expand as they produce milk for your newborn, it’s not uncommon to see an increase in cup sizes. Unfortunately, as your baby is finishing breastfeeding, your breasts drop down again leaving flatter and saggier breasts than before. In some cases, your breasts may even be smaller than before breastfeeding. For these reasons, many Mommy Makeovers will consist of a breast lift or breast augmentation. When trying to decide which is best for you, if you notice that your nipples point “south” rather than “north,” a breast lift is a great direction to go; if you feel that your breasts are not as full as they used to be, a breast augmentation may be best for you.

Liposuction: To get rid of stubborn fat deposits, liposuction is sometimes performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck. This procedure is available for women who have developed large love handles or are looking to remove fat deposits in other areas of the body, such as your hips or thighs.

Tummy Tuck: During tummy tuck surgery, your plastic surgeon makes a long incision along your bikini line, which allows the skin and muscles to be “pulled down”, leaving a tighter appearance. If your upper abdominal needs to be tightened as well, a second incision is made near your belly button. The loose skin is also removed and any muscle damage will be repaired. Some women may also suffer from stress urinary incontinence after pregnancy. In this case, your surgeon can also place a small mound of tissue near your bladder to help to regulate urine flow.

Labiaplasty: One of the other common results from childbirth is that a woman’s labia minora gets substantially stretched, causing the flaps of the labia minora to protrude beyond the labia majora. This can be embarrassing and very uncomfortable for many women, as the already sensitive labia minora can be prone to chafing, making exercise or sexual activity unfavorable. For our patients suffering from this, a labiaplasty is very helpful when correcting this problem. The plastic surgeon will carefully remove any excess skin from the labia minora, then stitch up the area. After fully healing, the labia will again become functional and comfortable as it’s protected by the labia majora.
