Breasts

A very common body area addressed with a mommy makeover in our practice is the breast. During and after pregnancy, the breasts undergo many physical changes as they prepare for lactation.

Whether a woman decides to breastfeed or not, she will likely see a temporary increase in breast size. When the breasts are no longer filled with milk, the fat and glandular tissue may shrink, so they have a tendency to sag afterward. Many women find that their post-pregnancy breasts are smaller in size and appear deflated.

A breast augmentation or breast lift is two common surgical procedures that we offer to address these changes in the breasts. Some women experience larger breasts after childbirth in which case a breast reduction procedure may help offset the negative effects of having heavy breasts.

Abdomen

A Toronto Mommy makeover often includes cosmetic treatment of the abdomen. After pregnancy, many find that their lower abdomen features lax skin and a protruding belly. At Avenue Plastic Surgery, we address this problematic area with a tummy tuck procedure to permanently remove excessive skin, stretch marks, and lower abdominal protrusion. Abdominal muscle separation, termed; diastasis rectus, can be corrected through

h a standard abdominoplasty approach, which draws the muscles back together and firms the tummy.

Liposuction

Finally, some women see stubborn fat on their outer thighs, inner thighs, back, and waist, which can be treated during a mommy makeover. Increased fat deposition in these problem areas is a common concern and hormonal changes after pregnancy can prevent effective weight loss and toning through diet and exercise. Stubborn, adipose fat is treated through liposuction to complete a body-recontouring mommy makeover package.

Popular procedures to include in a mommy makeover

One addition to the mommy makeover, which may not readily come to mind is the face. Some women find that after pregnancy and childbearing, their faces have developed new lines and wrinkles such as crow’s feet, smile lines, and wrinkles around the lips. We can correct these with Botox, dermal fillers, and other non-surgical treatments.

Frequently asked questions about a mommy makeover

What does the surgery involve?

A mommy makeover will typically combine a tummy tuck with a breast augmentation to address the two most common, problematic areas of the body after pregnancy.

What can I expect from my recovery after a mommy makeover?

In general, the recovery period from a mommy makeover will take approximately two weeks. Following your surgery, Dr. Golger or Dr. Romy will provide you with detailed instructions to take home. You will be advised to stick with very light activity such as walking for the first few days and to wear supportive, post-op garments to minimize swelling and promote healing.

As your swelling diminishes, the results of the mommy makeover become more evident. Around two weeks after the procedure, most patients are able to resume their normal activities, including light work. However, more rigorous activities and fitness regimes should be postponed for a minimum of 6 weeks.

As with all surgeries, there are inherent risks associated with a mommy makeover.
