Understanding Mommy Makeover Surgery
A mommy makeover typically involves a blend of breast and body procedures performed during a single operation. The most common elements include:
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Breast tissue often stretches after pregnancy and breastfeeding, leaving the breasts sagging and deflated. A breast lift reshapes and repositions the breast tissue and elevates the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful position. When combined with implants or fat transfer, a lift can also restore lost volume for a fuller contour.
Breast Augmentation
For women who have experienced a significant decrease in breast size, implants or fat transfer can restore fullness and shape. This procedure enhances natural shape while complementing the effects of a breast lift.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Pregnancy frequently causes the abdominal wall to weaken and stretch, sometimes resulting in diastasis recti (muscle separation). A tummy tuck repairs the abdominal muscles, removes excess skin, and creates a smoother, firmer midsection.
Liposuction
Hormonal changes and weight fluctuations can leave behind persistent fat pockets in the hips, thighs, or flanks. Liposuction sculpts these areas, enhancing the results of your tummy tuck and restoring balanced body contours.
Additional Enhancements
Every woman’s journey is unique. Depending on your goals, Dr. Robey may also recommend procedures such as labiaplasty, arm contouring, or non-surgical treatments like radiofrequency skin tightening for further refinement.
Customizing Your Mommy Makeover
Dr. Robey emphasizes that no two mommy makeovers are alike. She takes time to understand your personal goals, lifestyle, and anatomy before designing a surgical plan. Your makeover may include just two procedures or several, depending on your needs.
This individualized approach ensures:
- Balanced results that suit your frame and proportions
- Realistic planning for recovery and downtime
- Comprehensive transformation in a single surgical experience
