During pregnancy and after childbirth, women often find their breasts have changed in size and shape, and they may have loose or sagging skin around their abdomen. A “mommy makeover” is series of procedures available in Pembroke Pines, FL aimed at giving moms their pre-baby bodies back.

WHAT IS A “MOMMY MAKEOVER”?

A mommy makeover is a customized group of surgical procedures aimed at creating a sleek, well-proportioned figure. It can include procedures like breast enhancement, tummy tuck, and liposuction to lift and fill breasts and flatten and trim the abdominal area.

BREAST ENHANCEMENT THROUGH BREAST LIFT AND AUGMENTATION

During pregnancy and while nursing, your breasts usually increase in size .Once you have finished nursing, breasts often seem to ‘deflate’ and the breast tissue may appear saggy.

You and your plastic surgeon will discuss the best options for restoring fullness to your breasts. You may wish to have a breast lift to give you better projection, or you may want implants to augment the size of your breasts. A breast lift, or mastopexy, will remove excess skin and reposition your breasts to give you a desired position. A breast augmentation involves silicone or saline-filled implants placed under your breast tissue or over your pectoral muscles. You can choose the size, shape, and material of your implants, the most important choice being between saline or silicone implants. Both of these types of implants have pros and cons and it is important to discuss these with your surgeon.

TUMMY TUCK WITH OR WITHOUT LIPOSUCTION

The tummy tuck portion of the mommy makeover targets excess skin and fatty tissue around the abdomen. This procedure will pull skin and muscular tissue tight, and trim away the excess skin.

During this procedure, a horizontal incision is made along the abdomen. Excess fat and skin are removed with or without the aid of liposuction, and muscles are repaired leaving you with a flat stomach. In some cases, additional liposuction is performed around the back of the hips and along the waist.

With the year-round sunshine in Pembroke Pines, FL, feeling great about your body is invaluable. The boost in self-esteem many women experience after their mommy makeovers spills over into all areas of their lives, including being a fabulous mom.
