Who is a Candidate for Mommy Makeover Surgery?

Women who are near their ideal weight but still have aspects of their look that concern them can benefit from a mommy makeover. Candidates should be in overall good health and be done having children. Future pregnancy could impair the results.

It is important that patients are considering a mommy makeover for their own personal reasons and not to fulfill someone else’s desires. A consultation with Dr. Homas or Dr. Brostrom can help to determine if this procedure is right for you.

What Concerns Can Mommy Makeover Surgery Address?

In short, mommy makeovers are highly customizable and very flexible to address a wide range of cosmetic concerns that are common after pregnancy, childbirth, and/or breastfeeding. Whether you have specific goals or simply desire to have a more contoured figure, our surgeons can help you understand the results you can expect for your unique concerns. These include:

  • Having excess skin in the abdominal area
  • Seeing a belly bulge due to weakened or separated muscles
  • Having drooping or non-youthful-looking breasts
  • Having pockets of stubborn fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise

If you have any of these concerns or others, a combination cosmetic surgery procedure may be highly beneficial in helping restore a pre-pregnancy body.

Mommy Makeover Plastic Surgery Procedures

A mommy makeover procedure combines different body contouring procedures to address your specific needs and goals. Common procedures address the areas most affected by pregnancy, such as the breasts and abdomen. Procedures that are included in a mommy makeover are:

Breast Augmentation: Breast augmentation increases breast volume and improves contours by using breast implants.

Breast Lift: Breast lift surgery removes excess skin to raise the breasts to a more youthful, perky position.

Tummy Tuck: A tummy tuck creates a firmer, flatter abdomen by removing sagging skin and excess fat. Also tightens weakened or separated muscles for a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Liposuction: Removes excess fatty deposits from many areas of the body to improve overall proportion and contours. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures to improve results.

Vaginal Rejuvenation: Done to reshape the outer and inner labia to increase personal comfort and self-confidence.

San Antonio Mommy Makeover Recovery

The recovery period is different for each patient since the mommy makeover is a very individualized procedure. The recovery mostly depends on what surgeries are chosen. Most mommy makeover patients need to wear compression garments in the treated areas to aid in reducing swelling and supporting their new body contours. As swelling decreases, the shape of the body will improve. It is important to follow Dr. Homas’ or Dr. Brostrom’s post-op instructions to help ensure a safe and quick recovery.
