What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy changes the body. A mommy makeover seeks to reverse these changes and restore a woman’s body to a more youthful appearance after pregnancy and childbirth.

How does a mommy makeover alleviate post-pregnancy body concerns like stretch marks or sagging breasts? A plastic surgeon uses an individualized combination of surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments to address common post-pregnancy body complaints.

By combining treatments, women can enjoy enhanced results with fewer trips to the operating room. It’s often possible to perform several treatments together, reducing recovery time significantly.

What Procedures Can You Include in a Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy always changes a woman’s body, but it doesn’t always do so in the same way for everyone. Some women will experience breast volume loss and lax abdominal muscles. Other women may struggle with stubborn, lingering fat deposits or changes to the vaginal and labial areas. Since pregnancy’s effects are so varied, a mommy makeover requires a specialized, customized approach. A skilled surgeon can design a mommy makeover specifically for each patient, working with you to plan the procedure around your goals.

A customized approach ensures each woman can achieve her ideal appearance without unnecessary downtime or expense. Our surgeons focus on getting to know each patient, their lifestyle, and their goals. A mommy makeover at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center is never one-size-fits-all.

A mommy makeover often includes several of the following procedures:

Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover in Sarasota?

Patients with changes to their body after pregnancy can consider a mommy makeover. This set of aesthetic procedures reverses many unwanted post-pregnancy changes. Since most prescription medications used in aesthetic surgery are likely unsafe for pregnant or breastfeeding women, we recommend patients wait until your baby is born and weaned from breast milk.

Typically, we suggest scheduling this procedure at least six months after your final pregnancy, when you are no longer planning to carry future children.

You can have a mommy makeover performed shortly after pregnancy or many years later. Our patients range in age from their 20s to their 50s or older.

What to Expect From a Mommy Makeover

Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center is one of the oldest and most established plastic surgery practices in Sarasota. Our team of surgeons built this practice from the ground up, with a focus on creating superior outcomes and providing an ideal patient experience. Our surgeons have performed countless mommy makeovers on women throughout the area. Receiving a mommy makeover is typically a three-part process. Let’s walk through the steps of this procedure.

Consultation

The first step to a mommy makeover in Sarasota is the consultation, where prospective patients meet with our team of doctors, nurses, and other staff to plan the procedure. During a consultation, patients learn more about mommy makeover surgery, receive an examination, and ask questions. If you’re curious about this procedure, we encourage you to reach out and schedule this first step.

Surgery

All surgeries take place at our state-of-the-art surgical facility, located on the top floor of our plastic surgery center. While you are resting under general anesthesia, your surgeon will perform the selected procedures to achieve the desired aesthetic result. The amount of time needed for surgery will depend on the procedures you choose and the condition of your skin and body. In most cases, a mommy makeover is an outpatient procedure, and you can return home on the same day.

Recovery

A mommy makeover is a combination treatment, which can mean a slower recovery. Within three weeks, most women have healed enough to return to work and daily activities. We ask patients to limit strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for six to eight weeks after surgery. Tenderness, bruising, and swelling are all common during recovery. It can take several months for these side effects to fully resolve and for the results to be visible.
