What’s Involved in a Mommy Makeover?

At West Houston Plastic Surgery Clinic, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Alfonso Barrera and Dr. Eric Ruff can restore your pre-pregnancy figure and help you love the skin you’re in.

Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is a way to address the changes your body may go through after pregnancy. It often includes procedures for the breasts, abdomen, and areas where you might be dealing with stubborn fat or loose skin. The specific treatments will be completely tailored to what you want and need. Here’s what’s typically involved:

  • Breast surgery: Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the shape and size of your breasts. You might choose an augmentation to restore fullness, a lift to address sagging, or a reduction if you want smaller, more proportionate breasts.
  • Tummy tuck: If your abdominal muscles or skin feel stretched, a tummy tuck can help tighten things up and remove extra skin.
  • Liposuction: Sometimes, areas like your thighs, hips, or back hold onto fat that won’t go away no matter what you try. Liposuction can refine those areas and give you a more balanced shape.

Many women opt to combine these procedures into one surgery to save time and have an easier recovery process. You can get back to light activities in a few weeks and be fully recovered within a few months.

Dr. Barrera and Dr. Ruff use advanced sedation techniques to make the process as safe and comfortable as possible. They’ll work closely with you to make sure that your results match your goals.
