What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a customized series of cosmetic procedures that can restore and enhance your body after childbirth. This transformative approach combines multiple surgeries to address the physical changes brought on by pregnancy and breastfeeding, helping you achieve a more youthful, contoured appearance. Dr. Wentworth tailors each Mommy Makeover to meet the unique needs and goals of her patients, ensuring natural-looking, harmonious results.
Components of a Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover typically includes a combination of the following procedures:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles, resulting in a flatter, firmer abdomen. It addresses the common issue of diastasis recti, where the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy.
- Liposuction: Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and arms. By removing excess fat, liposuction creates a more sculpted and defined contour, enhancing your overall body shape.
- Breast Augmentation: This procedure enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants, restoring volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Options include both saline and silicone implants, allowing for customization based on your desired look and feel.
- Breast Lift: A breast lift raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, providing a more youthful and uplifted appearance. It can be combined with breast augmentation for optimal results.
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): The BBL uses fat grafting to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks, achieving a fuller, more contoured look. This procedure not only improves the buttocks but also benefits areas where the fat is harvested, such as the abdomen or thighs.
- Fat Grafting: Fat grafting can be used to add volume and improve contour in various areas of the body, such as the breasts, buttocks, and face. By using the patient’s own fat, this procedure offers a natural and biocompatible solution for volume enhancement.
