Dr. Stephan Baker : Mommy Makeover - Miami Plastic Surgeon

Mommy Makeover Surgery

Pregnancy can dramatically change your body, and being a mom often leaves little time to think about your appearance. Many new and experienced moms find that they lack confidence and happiness with their post-pregnancy bodies. Mommy Makeover surgery can restore your firm and youthful pre-pregnancy body, helping you reclaim your confidence.

Achieved With Mommy Makeover

Following pregnancy, especially in women who nursed, the breasts tend to lose volume. They often appear deflated, become soft, or begin to sag. When this occurs, many women feel as if they have lost the most feminine part of themselves. Breast augmentation and/or breast lift surgery can help restore larger, firmer, and more youthful breasts.

Mommy Makeover Procedures

Tummy Tuck

Produces a firmer, flatter abdomen
A gently curved incision is made below the bathing suit line in the lower abdomen
- Incision length depends on the extent of correction needed
Loose abdominal muscles are pulled tight and stitched together
- Restores muscle tone in the abdomen
Your skin is draped to lay against your new abdominal contour, and the excess is trimmed away
- Stretch marks on the lower abdomen are removed along with the excess skin
Rejuvenates the appearance of the belly button and corrects any potentially existing umbilical hernia

Breast Augmentation

Increases the volume and improves the shape of the breasts
Silicone or saline implants are inserted into the breast pocket
Incision options include:
- Inframammary: along the breast crease
- Periareolar: below the areola
Implants are placed below the pectoral muscle for a more natural breast slope

Liposuction

Removes unwanted fat for more slender body contours
Small incisions are made in the targeted area
A thin, hollow tube (cannula) is inserted through the incisions and vacuum suctions out the excess fat
Can be performed on areas such as the abdomen, back, hips, thighs, buttocks, and arms

Breast Lift

Lifts sagging breasts that have adequate volume but lack youthful firmness, position, and shape
Incision options include:
- Anchor: along the breast crease, up the breast, and around the areola
- Lollipop: around the areola and down the breast
- Donut: around the areola
The breast tissue is reshaped to a younger appearance
Breast lift surgery also reduces the size of enlarged areolas and repositions drooping nipples

Addressing Any Concerns You May Have

Following any surgical procedure, you are likely to experience bruising, swelling, and redness. After breast augmentation surgery, you might experience uncomfortable pressure on your chest. Tummy tuck patients will wear a compression garment to facilitate the healing process. You should avoid strenuous physical activities for at least three weeks after your procedure. Most major swelling subsides within six weeks, after which your final results will start to become visible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mommy Makeovers

How long after my pregnancy should I wait before undergoing my Mommy Makeover?: You should allow your body adequate healing time after pregnancy before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. Most women wait six months to a year. During this time, you should use diet and exercise to lose and maintain a stable weight, strengthen your abdominal muscles, and allow stretched skin to shrink back as much as possible.
What if I don’t need all the procedures outlined in the Mommy Makeover?: One benefit of the Mommy Makeover is that it is custom-tailored for each patient. During your consultation with Dr. Baker, you will discuss your aesthetic goals. Together, you and he will decide which procedures would benefit you.
Where will my Mommy Makeover be performed?: Dr. Baker performs all surgeries in a fully accredited surgery center to ensure patient comfort and safety.
What type of anesthesia is used during a Mommy Makeover?: All procedures performed as a part of a Mommy Makeover are done under general anesthesia. A board-certified anesthesiologist in Miami oversees all operations.
Can I have children after my Mommy Makeover?: The Mommy Makeover procedure does not prevent you from having children. However, to ensure the best results possible, it is advised to undergo a Mommy Makeover only after you are finished having children.
