What Is A Mommy Makeover?

mommy makeover is a customized plan using plastic surgery procedures and MedSpa treatments to revitalize a woman's appearance and physique. The procedures and treatments are selected based on the desired look each person wishes to achieve.

The following procedures often fall under the umbrella of a mommy makeover. You may opt for one, all, or none of them. The Core Plastic Surgery team can walk you through each of the following. Please call (205) 397-2100 with any questions you may have and we can schedule an appointment to discuss them thoroughly and thoughtfully.

Tummy Tuck

Also known as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes unwanted fat and excess skin along the midsection.[1] After pregnancy, the abdominal muscles are often stretched out, Dr. Core can repair damaged muscles as he contours the belly region. After achieving the abdomen's desired dimensions, Dr. Core will skillfully suture the incisions closed, carefully redraping the skin. The result is a toned, pleasing midriff that accentuates a woman's best features.

Vaser Liposuction

Childbearing affects every physique differently. Pockets of fat accumulate where you least expect them, and they may be extremely difficult to shed through diet alone. Now that you are a mom, you may not have a lot of free time to go to the gym or exercise at home to burn off that excess fat. Dr. Core can help! Vaser Lipo at Core Plastic Surgery targets stubborn fat and breaks it apart with concentrated ultrasound waves. [2] The unwanted fat is then gently vacuumed from your body, leaving a contoured silhouette behind.

Breast Lift

Gravity is an undeniable force. Over time, our bodies begin to sag, and pregnancy may accelerate the process. Breastfeeding can pull down on the nipples, changing their declination. A breast lift at Core Plastic Surgery addresses the factors that pull down on the bust. By clearing away excess skin and fat cells, a lift procedure repositions a woman's figure, making breasts sit more comfortably on the chest.

Diva Laser Vaginal Therapy

Childbirth can be stressful on the most intimate parts of a woman's body. To reclaim the contours and sensation of your pre-pregnancy form, consider diVa laser vaginal therapy at Core Plastic Surgery. Dr. Core can restore optimal circulation to the genital region, improving both the look and feel of the area.

Regardless of which suite of services you choose to include in your customized mommy makeover, Dr. Core can help revitalize your outlook.

Benefits Of Body Rejuvenation

Life happens. Every time of growth affects our bodies. Change is inevitable. But you do not merely need to allow time and circumstances to alter your body. You can take control by empowering a skilled surgeon to reshape your contours to your exact specifications. The main benefits of a mommy makeover is how tailored it is to your needs and desires. You choose which procedures to include and how extensive you want your transformation to be.

If plastic surgery procedures are performed, it is important to make sure you take some time away from work. Rest is the key to a successful recovery. You should also appoint a caregiver to help you with children and other responsibilities at home. The first few days following your mommy makeover are a time for your body to adapt to its new contours. Please do not rush the healing process; great things are worth the wait!
