What is a Mommy Makeover?
“I take great pride in all of my children; now it’s time I take pride in myself!”
The Mommy makeover is aimed at creating the body which a mother deserves after she has completed her family. This involves working on the breasts, abdomen, and areas where unsightly bulges have formed during pregnancy.
With 27 years of experience in the area, Dr. Makhlouf is well positioned to provide his patients with a result they will rave about!
What to Expect
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to a body contouring surgery, as every individual has particular areas of concern that they’d like to focus on, and excess skin from previous weight gain appears on different parts of the body according to each patient’s genetics.
That said, mommy makeover surgery seeks to do more than simply remove fat and skin – it is also undertaken with the aim of revealing the figure a patient has worked towards. Common procedures include breast lifts, to raise the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the area to reshape the breasts; tummy tucks, or abdominoplasty, to both remove the “apron” of skin hanging over hipbones while restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles; thigh and buttock lifts, which reshape and firm the thigh and/or buttocks through the removal of fat and skin; and upper-arm lifts, which reduce sagging skin while tightening and smoothing the supportive tissue underneath it.
Common Procedures
The procedure done on the abdomen is called an abdominoplasty. It corrects the abdominal wall relaxation and gets rid of the extra skin and stretch marks that have formed in the lower abdomen.
The Breast procedures vary from an isolated breast lift to a breast lift with implants or a breast reduction with a lift.
The liposuction corrects some of the fat that is easily deposited during pregnancy: the back roll, the lower back, flanks and hips, inner thighs and knees.
Post Partum Fixes: Am I ready for a Mommy Makeover?
Changes to the body, especially a woman’s breasts, are a major side effect of pregnancy and a problem that most women just aren’t ready to face. It happens over such a long period of time, so new moms don’t even notice how much she has changed until it’s time to put on her favorite bra or swimsuit for the first time, and then it hits her, it’s abundantly clear that she now has post-pregnancy breasts.
Is it time for a mommy makeover? What to think about.
A can change your life. After giving birth to your bundle of joy, many women find that they do not feel “normal”, or like themselves anymore.

A mommy makeover is a perfect way to fix these body issues, but you first need to consider your lifestyle and if you’re ready for this surgery.
