Mommy Makeover FAQ

How can Stretch Marks be Reduced?
Stretch marks haunt many women after pregnancy, plus they loosen the lower abdominal area allowing the pooch to flop down in an unsightly fashion. Although there are no good individual treatments for stretch marks, a Tummy Tuck can cut out many of these stretch marks in the lower abdominal areas. The upper belly skin, which may have minimal stretch marks, can then be stretched down to the lower area, resulting in a flat smooth stomach with a markedly reduced amount of stretch marks.

What about the Breasts after Pregnancy?
Those beautiful breasts you once had (or wished you had) are many times fallen and are pointing downward after pregnancy. Many women feel their breasts have been sucked skinny by breast feeding; and many times they are just not a pretty site. These changes can be treated with either Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift (Mastopexy) procedures. The results are remarkable, and give women that self esteem boost that happens when they look good.

What about SEX!?
Many women say, “Sex is just not the same after having a baby!” There is no question that there are multiple reasons why a woman’s sex life can be less than she would desire after delivery, including the newborn baby in the crib. But there are physical changes of the pelvic structures caused from pregnancy that can be corrected to help her enhance her sexual pleasure and her self confidence. Vaginal Rejuvenation can tighten the vagina that pregnancy had stretched for enhanced sexual gratification. Labiaplasty surgery can trim elongated labia for an improved aesthetic look.

Can some of the Skin Changes from Pregnancy be Fixed?
Some women notice some pregnancy-induced changes in the skin of their face, such as pigmentations, wrinkles, and even acne formation. These unwanted changes can be reduced using multiple modalities. IPL Photofacials, Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasions, Acne treatments and Skin Products can reduce these changes with minimal downtime. However, if significant changes are present, a SmartXide Dot Laser Resurfacing procedure may be necessary to adequately treat these problems.

Can the New Fatty Bulges on My Body Be Treated?
You may have developed unsightly bulges of fat in various body areas during your pregnancy. Your once thin waist may have widened and you may now have a large bulge of fat on your abdomen with stretch marks and loose skin. You may see that the pregnancy has deposited extra bulges of fat between you upper thighs or on you outer thighs to create “saddlebags”. All these can be corrected with Liposculpture techniques, including SmartLipo, Tumescent Liposuction and Body Jet Liposculpture.
