WHAT IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER?
‘Mommy Makeover’ typically implies a combined rejuvenation of the breasts and abdomen. This simply coined phrase encompasses a number of surgical options and approaches that are geared to the unique issues that a woman deals with after childbearing.
The three most common procedures are a tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, and liposuction. Though a woman is not limited to these three procedures. Conversely, many women only need a mini tummy tuck and a breast lift to bring back their pre-pregnancy figure. At Dr. Correa’s office, mommy makeovers take many forms and are tailored specifically for each woman’s wants or needs.
BREAST LIFT
A breast lift, or mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple and tightening the surrounding tissue. The result is a reshaped breast, located higher on the chest.
BREAST REDUCTION
A breast reduction reduces bust sizes drastically increased by pregnancy. Some women experience back problems and struggle finding well-fitting clothes due to increased breast volume.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure used to increase the size of the breast or to correct the shape and symmetry of the breasts to counter the effects of breastfeeding.
TUMMY TUCK
Tummy tuck surgery is one of the most sought-after procedures for a postpartum woman as it restores a flatter abdominal profile by removing excess skin and repairing the underlying muscle structure.
LIPOSUCTION
During a mommy makeover, the liposuction is done to provide the finishing touch on an area rather than as a standalone procedure. This is all done with the goal of providing you with high-quality results in a mommy makeover.
STRETCH MARK REMOVAL
Skin damaged by stretch marks caused by weight fluctuations and pregnancy can be removed to give a smoother skin texture.
LABIAPLASTY
Labiaplasty reduces or reshapes the inner lips, or ‘labia minora’ of the vulva. The pressure of childbirth causes the labia minora to increase in size to extend past the outer labia majora.

CONSIDERING A MOMMY MAKEOVER?
If you are in good overall health, won’t be having more children and are dissatisfied with the shape of your body, you are a good candidate for a mommy makeover. You should also have post-procedure help for a few weeks, particularly if you have small children.
For the first 2 or 3 weeks following surgery, you will tire more easily and will need to be able to rest. Recovery time is completely dependent on the combination of procedures you will have. Dr. Correa will review your recovery timetable with you in the consultations prior to the surgery so you have ample time to arrange work and other commitments to suit your recovery. He wants to ensure that you have a smooth recovery for your mommy makeover.
Dr. Correa’s Philosophy on
Mommy Makeovers
“The Mommy Makeover operation is one of the most gratifying in Cosmetic Surgery. As a plastic surgeon, it really drives home the blurry line that divides cosmetic from reconstructive surgery and illustrates one of our guiding principles of restoration of form.”
