Today’s Best Options for Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to many permanent changes in the body. This means it’s not uncommon for mothers to wish that they had their pre-baby body back for many different emotional, cosmetic, and medical reasons. A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that address the changes that commonly occur during pregnancy and breastfeeding. These typically include surgeries for the abdomen, breasts, and labia. Reflections Center for Cosmetic Medicine offers comprehensive mommy makeovers for our patients in Martinsville and Livingston, New Jersey.
Breast Procedures
After pregnancy and breastfeeding, it’s common for the breasts to droop or look deflated. They can also become smaller or larger than you would prefer. A few different breast procedures can rejuvenate the appearance of the breasts:
- Breast augmentation uses breast implants to restore lost volume and create a larger, firmer breast.
- Breast lifts reposition the existing breast tissue for a more youthful profile.
- Breast reductions create a smaller breast size by removing excess tissue, which often alleviates pain in the back, neck, or shoulders.
Stomach & Body Procedures
The skin stretches a great deal during pregnancy, and it’s common to be left with stretch marks or areas of loose and excess skin and tissue throughout the abdominal region. There are a few procedures available to address the varying degrees of skin laxity and changes in this area.
- Tummy tucks are a popular option for removing excess skin and stretch marks after pregnancy. During a tummy tuck, the abdominal muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed through an incision made low across the pelvis.
- Mini tummy tucks are a less extensive version of a traditional tummy tuck that uses similar techniques but only addresses the area below the belly button.
- Liposuction can be used to permanently remove stubborn areas of fat that remain after diet and exercise.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a procedure which addresses medical and cosmetic concerns related to enlarged or damaged labia, which can commonly occur during childbirth. During labiaplasty, a plastic surgeon will carefully remove excess tissue using either a “trim” or “wedge” technique, in which a pie slice-shaped piece of tissue is removed to maintain the natural edge of the labia. Dissolvable sutures are then put in place to close the incision.
