MOMMY MAKEOVER
A Mommy Makeover is the name we give when performing surgery to restore damages done to the breasts and abdomen after childbirth. This can be any combination of surgery on the breasts and body at the same time. The most common combination of procedures is a tummy tuck and breast augmentation or breast lift.
At Miller Plastic Surgery in Destin, Miramar Beach, FL, our mommy makeover procedure is a unique approach to a total body makeover that specifically addresses the most common concerns for mothers of all ages. Without question, having children is one of the most rewarding experiences a woman will have. However, the rewards of pregnancy and childbirth can have some rather unflattering and unwanted physical effects on the mother. As a result of pregnancy or breastfeeding, a woman may be left with breasts that have little or no fullness. Mommy makeovers can fix sagging breasts that have lost volume and shape, tummy lines that have retained excess fat deposits, visible stretch marks, gapped and stretched abdominal muscles, and unwanted fat deposits around the hips and thighs.
Consultation
During a private consultation at Miller Plastic Surgery in Destin and Miramar Beach, FL, Dr. Miller will listen to all the concerns each patient has about her body to see if she is a good candidate for these procedures. Many women seeking a tummy tuck, breast lift and surgeries have:
- Breasts that have changed in shape and/or volume after pregnancy
- A tummy with bulges of fat that didn’t go away with post-pregnancy weight loss
- Other areas of the body with stretched skin and volume loss
The best candidates for the mommy makeover are women who are also finished having children, as further childbearing will alter the results. Having a mommy makeover comes with the commitment to maintain a stable post-op weight as significant weight gain can diminish results.
