What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a collection of cosmetic surgical procedures that aim to restore a woman’s body to optimal shape and appearance after pregnancy. Childbirth and nursing can leave numerous traces on a woman’s body, leading to sagging or deflated breasts, downwards pointing nipples, sagging abdomen, lack of muscle definition, and sagging skin tissues. Mommy makeover surgery in Detroit, Michigan, is a single-stage procedure that combines numerous cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, vaginal rejuvenation, etc., to restore your body. Accents Cosmetic Surgery is led by exceptionally talented cosmetic surgeons specializing in the latest mommy makeover techniques.

A Mommy Makeover Includes

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure, and it’s a mainstay of a mommy makeover. Pregnancy and nursing often lead to an asymmetry between your breasts, with one of them appearing bigger or smaller than the other. In some cases, pregnancy can also make your breasts look smaller than they did previously. Breast augmentation involves using saline or silicone implants to enhance your breasts’ shape and size and restore their proportionality. Our cosmetic surgeons will discuss all your implant options to recommend the ideal breast augmentation technique.

Breast Lift

Breast lift is another popular procedure within the mommy makeover collection of treatments. It often goes together with a breast augmentation, both addressing different aspects of your breasts’ appearance. While augmentation addresses the size, a breast lift addresses the orientation. If your breasts are sagging, hanging low, or pointing downwards, a breast lift makes them look upright and perky again. The breast lift also repositions the nipple to make it point straight ahead instead of pointing down.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure wherein the stomach is tightened to give you a firm and sculpted appearance. The surgeons make an incision on the abdomen to remove excess skin tissues, suction out the unwanted fat, and tighten the abdominal muscles underneath. Consequently, a tummy tuck helps you achieve a firm stomach with well-defined abs. If you have a C-section scar, the surgeon might be able to use it as the incision point, so you won’t have to worry about additional scars.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is a procedure wherein the vaginal canal is tightened after it becomes lax or loose because of pregnancy or age. The excess vaginal mucosa skin is removed, and the vaginal muscles are brought closer together to restore their firmness. However, vaginal rejuvenation is an extremely personalized procedure. Our surgeons curate the specific surgical techniques and treatment plan according to your unique needs. Most women need vaginal rejuvenation to some degree to restore their vaginal health and appearance after childbirth.

Water-Assisted Liposuction (BodyJet)

Water-assisted liposuction is an advanced method that gently loosens fat with a stream of water, minimizing trauma and making sculpting more precise. It's an ideal addition to a mommy makeover for restoring curves in stubborn areas like the hips, thighs, or waistline.

Frequently Asked Question Mommy Makeover

How long should I wait after childbirth to get a mommy makeover?

It’s best to wait at least six months to one year after giving birth, once your body has healed and you’ve finished breastfeeding. This ensures more predictable results and a safer recovery.

Will I need to lose weight before surgery?

Ideally, you should be at or near your goal weight before undergoing a mommy makeover. Significant weight fluctuations after surgery can affect results.

Can I still have children after a mommy makeover?

Technically, yes, but it’s not recommended. Future pregnancies can reverse the improvements made during your surgery. That’s why we advise waiting until your family is complete.

Are the results permanent?

Results are long-lasting, but not immune to time. Aging and lifestyle factors can still affect your body. Maintaining a healthy weight and routine fitness will help preserve your outcome.

Will insurance cover any part of the procedure?

Because mommy makeovers are cosmetic, they’re not typically covered by insurance. However, our office offers financing options to help manage the cost.
