What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination procedure, customized to restore and rejuvenate your body after the changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth. During a mommy makeover, 2-3 or more procedures are usually performed in the same surgical session, addressing multiple areas you want to improve and enhance.

A mommy makeover commonly addresses the breasts, abdomen, bottom, labia, fat deposits, a prominent C-section scar, and skin changes. Dr. Reuben will consult with you ahead of time and examine your figure to understand what you would like to target during your mommy makeover to help you feel confident and at peace with your figure as a mother.

What Procedures Are Included In A Mommy Makeover?

22 Plastic Surgery performs mommy makeover procedures in an accredited hospital or surgical facility as an outpatient procedure or with a brief hospital stay. Depending on the procedures chosen, the surgery can take from 2 to 5 hours to complete.

  • Breast augmentation restores lost breast volume or fills out naturally small breasts.
  • Breast lift reshapes lax breasts and reduces enlarged nipples.
  • Tummy tuck firms and flattens the abdomen by removing stretched, wrinkled skin and excess fat and repairing separated abdominal muscles, if necessary.
  • Liposuction sculpts the waist, hips, thighs, and other areas where stubborn fat has collected.
  • Labiaplasty rejuvenates enlarged or torn labia.
  • Brazilian butt lift transfers unwanted in an area of the body into the buttocks, achieving a curving, shapely contour.

Other treatments

A range of other surgeries or treatments can be performed as a part of a mommy makeover, including facial surgeries such as a brow lift or blepharoplasty, or non-surgical treatments, including injectables and laser treatments.
