Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover combines breast surgery, abdominoplasty, and liposuction to restore the body after pregnancy. Discover the possibilities, recovery, and potential treatment combinations.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical procedures aimed at restoring the body after pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the body undergoes various changes, such as laxity of the abdominal wall, changes in breast volume, excess skin, and localized fat deposits.
A Mommy Makeover combines different treatments to rebalance the body contour.
The exact combination of procedures is always individually tailored to the patient’s anatomy and expectations.

procedure
How does a Mommy Makeover work?
During a Mommy Makeover, multiple procedures are combined into a single operation or, if safer and more appropriate, spread over several stages.
Safety
During a Mommy Makeover, for example, a breast lift, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty with muscle repair, and liposuction can be combined.
By performing different treatments together, the body can be harmoniously corrected while limiting the number of surgeries.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Which combination is safely possible is always assessed individually during the consultation.
Results
The goal of a Mommy Makeover is to restore the body contour after pregnancy, bring the breasts back into proportion with the body, firm the abdominal wall, and improve the harmony of the silhouette.
The result becomes gradually visible as the swelling subsides and the tissues continue to heal.
Aftercare
Recovery depends on which procedures are combined.
In general, a one-night hospital stay is usually provided, compression garments are worn temporarily, and strenuous activities are avoided for several weeks.

Scars
Scars after a Mommy Makeover
The scars depend on which procedures are combined.
In a Mommy Makeover, the scars depend on the chosen treatments, such as breast surgery, abdominoplasty, or liposuction.
Where possible, incisions are placed so that they heal as discreetly as possible and can usually be hidden under a bra, underwear, or swimwear.
As with any surgical correction, scars cannot be completely avoided, but with proper scar care, they generally fade gradually over time.
