Plastic Surgery

Ask Dr. Haas...

Q: How to regain your shape after childbirth with a “Mommy Makeover”. What is a mommy makeover?
A: A mommy makeover is a catchy term for the combination of procedures, usually including a tummy tuck/liposuction and breast lift/augmentation.The effects of pregnancy and childbirth and breast-feeding can ravage a woman's body...loose skin on her belly along with weakened abdominal muscles, loss of breast tissue with an 'empty sock' look, sagging breasts, etc. I'm seeing a lot of these patients and doing a lot of combination procedures. The combination of a breast lift and/or augmentation, along with a tummy tuck or lipo can bring back and maybe make an even better shape compared to pre-pregnancy. This is a great combination of surgery...it changes the ratios of bust-line and waist-line and provides a flat belly. Of course this is surgery and all surgery has risks. Patients need to plan their schedule for their recovery. I tell people with the above procedures, or anything that includes a tummy tuck...expect to take 3 weeks off work, be about 75% better at one month, and not 100% for two months. We do all of our procedures routinely in our certified in-office surgery suite.
