What Is Typically Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Most Mommy Makeover procedures we perform include a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), a breast enhancement procedure, and often liposuction. That said, this is a bespoke procedure that’s as individual as the patients who visit Stoker Plastic Surgery. To determine what goes into your combination surgery, we invite you to consider, “What do I want to achieve with a Mommy Makeover?”

Below, we look at some components that are typical of this procedure. However, you will determine the exact combination with the guidance of Dr. David Stoker, an internationally renowned plastic surgeon who specializes in this transformative procedure.

Breast Enhancement

While motherhood is not a prerequisite of this surgery, many patients seek to address the changes that breastfeeding and the natural aging process have had on their breasts. This category of procedures aims to restore the breasts to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing state and may include:

• Breast Augmentation – Dr. Stoker’s expertise in rapid recovery breast augmentation leads to fuller, more shapely, and more symmetrical breasts without lengthy downtime.
• Breast Lift – A breast lift addresses sagging and excess skin. This procedure lifts and reshapes the remaining tissue for a perkier, more youthful look.

For even more dramatic results, a combined breast augmentation with lift raises the breasts and adds volume. This popular pairing gives patients more personalized, flattering results. In some cases, women may prefer a breast reduction to alleviate strain on their bodies and achieve a more proportionate figure.

Body Contouring

If your body hasn’t “bounced back” physically after pregnancy or massive weight loss, you are probably well aware that diet and exercise aren’t usually enough to get the look you want. Body contouring procedures remove stretched skin, smooth your silhouette, and address some of the more conspicuous changes pregnancy can bring.

• Abdominoplasty – Dr. Stoker’s signature “Hourglass Tuck”sculpts your midsection and corrects abdominal muscle separation. If you have a protruding belly pouch, stretch marks, or a prominent C-section scar, this procedure can create a more cosmetically pleasing result.
• Liposuction – This procedure removes localized pockets of fat for slimmer, smoother contours throughout the body. Dr. Stoker is a leading expert in multiple liposuction techniques.
• Post-Weight Loss Surgeries – If you have significant skin laxity, you may be a good candidate for surgery after weight loss. Depending on the extent of your concerns, you may need to stage your procedures over two operations.

These body contouring procedures work together to sculpt a more toned and defined silhouette. Liposuction, for example, enhances the aesthetic benefits of a tummy tuck or body lift procedure. It is also popularly used as part of a fat transfer operation to add soft, natural volume to the face, breasts, or buttocks.

Facial Procedures

Some women choose to include facial plastic surgery in their Mommy Makeovers. Dr. Stoker can refresh your appearance with procedures such as:

• Traceless Facelift – Another specialty procedure, Dr. Stoker’s world-renowned Traceless Facelift offers maximum rejuvenation with virtually no visible evidence of surgery. The transformation is profound, but the operation itself is discreet.
• Eyelid Surgery – Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, removes sagging, excess skin and fat, energizing a sleepy appearance or soothing a worried expression. The result is a brighter and more youthful eye area.

In addition to surgery, Dr. Stoker may also recommend nonsurgical options such as injectables or laser skin resurfacing to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and create a more vibrant canvas for your transformation.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

A labiaplasty reshapes or reduces the size of the labia and addresses other changes caused by childbirth. Dr. Stoker can perform multiple types of vaginal rejuvenation surgery, creating both aesthetic improvements and functional enhancements, from greater comfort to reduced incontinence and increased sexual satisfaction.

Multi-Modality Approach

A Mommy Makeover may include both surgical and nonsurgical procedures to meet each patient’s specific needs. Dr. Stoker will work closely with you to develop your treatment plan. This collaborative process ensures that each aspect of your Mommy Makeover is carefully coordinated to maximize your results and minimize your recovery time.
