Pregnancy and childbirth can cause unwanted changes in a woman’s body such as alteration of breast size and sagging skin around the abdomen. Diet and exercise have only minimal effects on such changes. When a woman is through having children, she may wish to undergo a mommy makeover.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a series of cosmetic surgical procedures done to restore a woman’s body to a pre-pregnancy state. It includes an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation; many patients also have stretch marks and excess skin removed. Here at Murphy Plastic Surgery in Englewood, CO, we are proud to provide the mommy makeover to our patients and encourage you to learn more about it.

What Does the Abdominoplasty Involve?

After pregnancy, a woman’s abdominal muscles are often weakened and she may have an excess of skin in the stomach region. An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is performed to tighten these muscles and remove the excess skin, thereby restoring her original appearance.

What Does Breast Augmentation Involve?

In wake of pregnancy, a woman’s breasts may look saggy from reduced volume. A breast augmentation is designed to reprise the firm and supple appearance of the breasts. This procedure allows the patient to choose from a large variety of implants made from saline or silicone.

Who is a Candidate for the Mommy Makeover?

Any woman who wishes to bring back her pre-pregnancy body may be eligible for the mommy makeover. Ideal candidates will also harbor realistic expectations about this procedure and what it can accomplish. The recovery period for the procedure may range from ten days to two weeks.
