- Medical Weight LossYou need to have a healthy weight – a mommy makeover is not a weight loss procedure. Yes, some fat will be removed during the procedure, but you will need to have lost the bulk of your baby weight before the procedure. It is recommended that you are no more than 25 pounds over your ideal weight before surgery.

- Urinary IncontinenceTummy tuck – After pregnancy, women are left with excess fat and skin in their abdomen. During tummy tuck surgery, your surgeon will “pull-down” and tighten your skin and muscles. Your loose skin will be removed and any damaged muscle will be repaired. In addition, if you experience stress urinary incontinence, your surgeon can also place a small mound of tissue near your bladder to regulate urine flow.
- PregnancyMost people expect a mommy makeover to snap women back to their pre-baby selves in just a few weeks or months after giving birth. In reality, attempting to undergo mommy makeover soon after childbirth is simply unsafe and dangerous because both pregnancy and childbirth put massive stress on women’s bodies. It is recommended that you wait at least six months after giving birth before you have any invasive plastic surgery. This will give your body a chance to heal fully.
- Labor and DeliveryChildbirth can be rewarding, but it also takes a tremendous toll on a woman’s body. Pregnancy always results in a degree of weight gain, which may remain long after childbirth and compromise the elasticity of the skin. During breastfeeding, the breast can increase and size causes them to sag and loses their youthful shape once lactation ends. Childbirth particularly affects the tummy. It causes the abdominal muscles to become separated and the skin to stretch. The overall effects of childbirth can really change a woman’s figure, and for some women, the change makes them feel less confident about their appearance. Fortunately, today, women can choose to undergo a mommy makeover to gain their pre-pregnancy body back. So, what is a mommy makeover?

- BotoxGood physical health – it is important that you are generally healthy before you consider a facelift. The procedure is an invasive surgical procedure that requires significant recovery time. As a general rule, the healthier you are, the safer the procedure will be, and the better the results you will get. Therefore, you should not undergo a facelift if you have a medical condition that impairs healing. If in doubt, always talk to your surgeon about any medical condition you have on your initial consultation. Your surgeon will tell you if you can undergo a facelift, or if you should opt for less invasive treatments, such as Dermal Fillers and Botox.
- Brow LiftA brow lift, also known as forehead rejuvenation or forehead lift, is a procedure to raise the brows. It improves the appearance of the forehead, the brow, and the eye area by raising the soft tissue and skin of the brow and forehead. It is mostly done for people with brow asymmetry, or a low, sagging brow. Aging can cause our brows to move down because the skin and soft tissues in our face lose elasticity. This can also cause the distance between the brows and eyelashes to shorten. Many people are unhappy with the lower position of their eyebrows as a result of aging because it can make them look tired, sad, or angry. With a brow lift, the eyebrows are raised, restoring a refreshed and more pleasing appearance.
- Eyelid SurgeryBlepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgery that aims to enhance the appearance of the eyelid. It is often performed to make someone appear younger and more alert. As we age, our skin becomes lax. There may be bags on the lower eyelids, and hooding or drooping of the upper eyelids. The procedure works by removing some excess skin, fat, and muscle from both the upper and lower eyelid. This procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can leave the hospital on the same day. The recovery period of blepharoplasty is around two weeks until you can return to your daily activities and see the result of the surgery.
- LiposuctionLiposuction – Stubborn fat deposits developed during pregnancy that will not go away even after diet and exercise can be eliminated through liposuction. Using a special tool called a cannula, the stubborn fat will be gently suctioned from beneath the skin. Liposuction can be performed in the abdomen, hips, thighs, or several other areas with stubborn fat deposits.
- Breast AugmentationA breast lift and breast augmentation – the breast can experience a drastic increase in size throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the breasts will become flatter again once lactation has ceased, causing the skin of the breast to become stretched, which eventually results in sagging, drooping, and a loss of youthful contour. Many women also experience smaller and flatter breasts after breastfeeding is complete. This is why breast lift and breast augmentation are preferable after childbirth as they can restore the youthful and perky contour of the breast.
- Breast LiftA mommy makeover is not a single surgery that reconstructs the body of a mother. Instead, it is a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures that are performed together in one operation. It can include essentially any combination of cosmetic surgeries considered necessary to help achieve the patient’s goal, but it mainly consists of a breast lift, a tummy tuck, and liposuction. The aim of the mommy makeover is to restore a youthful and flattering figure, helping many women to experience improved confidence during motherhood.
- RhinoplastyRhinoplasty commonly referred to as the “nose job,” is a surgery to reshape the nose. It can improve the shape, size, and symmetry of someone’s nose, which brings it into better proportion with the rest of the face. Since the nose is located front and center of the face, it provides the foundation for aesthetic balance. Some people are not lucky enough to be born with a proportionate nose, while others simply want to reshape their nose because they don’t like the way it looks. Fortunately, with the help of a skilled cosmetic surgeon, the nose can be refined to enhance a person’s natural beauty. Rhinoplasty is considered as one of the most complicated facial cosmetic surgeries, however, it has a very high success rate of between 85% and 90%.

- Face LiftWhen the big 50 rolls in, you may start to notice that physical changes become more and more prominent. Your once-tiny wrinkles may now look deeper, your once-firm skin now sags and loose, and you may feel bothered each time you look in the mirror. If you don’t like what you see in the mirror and you are thinking about getting a cosmetic procedure to get a more youthful appearance, you probably have heard that a facelift is the best cosmetic procedure to have. But, you may wonder “why would I consider a facelift at 50 years of age? Doesn’t a facelift works best on those in their 40s?”
- Neck LiftLower facelift – also known as a neck lift, this type of facelift can remove excess fat under the chin and jawline. The removal of fat from those areas will result in a smoother profile and tighter skin, as well as no signs of a double chin.
