Is a Mommy Makeover Right for You?

The Mommy Makeover is an increasingly popular trend in cosmetic surgery. It combines multiple common procedures that address the changes women often experience after pregnancy, labor and nursing. If you’re curious about a Mommy Makeover in the Chicago area, contact the John Bull Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Medispa to schedule a consultation.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover typically includes at least a breast augmentation, a fat removal procedure and a tummy tuck to remove excess skin. However, a wide variety of other procedures can be performed alongside these.

The breast augmentation component of a Mommy Makeover may include implants or simply involve a reshaping through a breast lift. Liposuction can be used to remove unwanted pockets of fat that have proven resistant to diet and exercise. The tummy tuck procedure is oftentimes important to a Mommy Makeover, not because it removes fat, but because it addresses the hanging skin. Other procedures may also be used. It all depends on the unique situation.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

A Mommy Makeover may be performed entirely at once or with one procedure at a time. Every woman’s body is different, and not all candidates opt to undergo all of the most common procedures, though some pursue more than just the common ones. As long as the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle, the results of the procedures should be permanent.

Am I a Good Candidate?

The ideal candidate for a Mommy Makeover is a woman who is near her ideal weight, but still is dissatisfied with sagging breasts and stubborn pockets of fat. None of these procedures are intended to help with major weight loss by obese patients; these individuals should explore other surgical weight loss options if they are unable to lose weight on their own.
