Excess Skin and Rectus Diastasis – Soft tissues on the abdomen stretch to accommodate the size of a growing baby. Some patients have highly elastic skin that returns to a normal tone and texture after the big day. For many others, however, the tissue in the belly area remains lax, causing them to feel less confident in their physique. A tummy tuck removes loose skin, along with some fat, to create a flatter stomach. As pregnancy can also separate muscles in the abdominal wall, treatment includes stitching these muscles back together to support your core. This element of a Mommy Makeover is called rectus diastasis repair.

Restore Lost Volume – Breasts undergo numerous physical changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Breast size can increase and then decrease dramatically, resulting in a loss of volume that patients previously enjoyed. Breast augmentation is designed to restore fullness to the upper and lower breasts, enhance projection, and help the breasts appear rejuvenated and symmetrical. At Parkins Plastic Surgery, patients have numerous options to achieve their augmentation goals, including saline and silicone implants in various profiles. Your choice depends on the amount of volume you’d like to achieve and your overall aesthetic preferences.

Correct Sagging and Drooping Nipple Position – Weight fluctuations during pregnancy can stretch the skin, leaving breasts looking flat and droopy. Many Mommy Makeover patients can benefit from a breast lift, which removes excess skin and shapes and raises the breasts back to their original position on the chest wall. This procedure can be performed on its own if a patient is satisfied with her overall volume, but it can also involve the placement of implants to add volume or fullness to the top half of the breast.

With a plan for healthy eating and activity, patients can achieve their pre-baby weight, but they may still notice certain bumps that weren’t there before. Exercise-resistant fat is commonly found around the trunk, including the abdomen, hips, sides, and back, where bra rolls often develop. Liposuction effectively targets these fatty areas to achieve smooth body contours.
