The liposuction procedure is performed to remove stubborn pockets of fat on the flank, hip, abdomen, or other areas of the body. Unwanted, excess subcutaneous fat is broken up and then gently suctioned through a small cannula that is attached to a vacuum compressor. The technique doesn’t just remove fat; it sculpts the body based on natural curves and contouring. Liposuction is an excellent choice for women who have unwanted pockets of fat that just do not go away despite them being close to their ideal body weight and want to maximize their makeover.

This surgery, medically called an “abdominoplasty,” is usually an integral part of the mommy makeover because it addresses one of the primary effects of pregnancy: muscle and skin stretch and distortion. A tummy tuck involves an incision along the supra-pubic line (just below your pubic bone), between the hips, with multiple variations. The incision allows access for our cosmetic surgeon to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall that may have separated or stretched beyond their capacity to recover during pregnancy. A tummy tuck can be designed to remove an existing C-section skin scar if one exists. 

Most women breastfeed after having children which alters the fullness and lift of the breasts. This is why breast procedures are very common in mommy makeover transformations.

•Breast augmentation, with carefully selected saline or silicone implants, can reinstate the desired amount of fullness and shape to the breasts.

•Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, may be performed independently or with breast augmentation to further enhance the body by correcting ptosis (drooping) or asymmetry that may have resulted from breastfeeding, weight swings, or natural aging.
