The “mommy makeover” has been a plastic surgery mainstay for years. This popular term refers to the combination of procedures that is frequently performed after the body undergoes characteristic changes with pregnancy and breastfeeding. The abdomen and breasts are the body areas most affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding, so it makes sense that these are also the areas most commonly addressed in a mommy makeover. The classic mommy makeover, as we will see below, entails some fairly major surgery that is accompanied by significant recovery time. With the “modern mommy makeover,” we strive to deliver superb results with minimally invasive approaches that minimize discomfort and recovery time. To achieve these goals, we marry a razor-focused attention to the patient’s concerns with the most advanced techniques available, often combining non-invasive, minimally-invasive and more invasive procedures.
