The Mommy Makeover: Celebrating Your Journey

Congratulations on creating your beautiful family and the joy you’ve brought into this world. As a mother you give so much of yourself, and now you’re ready to focus on you - ready for your mommy makeover. The term ‘mommy makeover’ refers to a collection of cosmetic procedures that together address the physical changes that can occur as a result of pregnancy and childbirth.

A tummy tuck is often at the heart of a mommy makeover. Pregnancy stretches the abdominal muscles and abdominal skin far beyond their normal limits. This can create diastasis recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles separate due to the stretching of the central abdominal fascia during pregnancy. This separation can lead to a protruding belly that doesn't respond to diet or exercise alone. A tummy tuck not only removes excess skin but also tightens the abdominal muscles. By bringing these muscles back together, we can restore a flatter, more toned appearance to your abdomen

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to changes in breast shape, volume, and elasticity. Depending on your goals, breast rejuvenation might involve:

• Breast Lift / Mastopexy: To elevate and reshape deflated breasts
• Breast Augmentation: Adding implants or fat grafting to restore lost volume
• Combination of Lift and Augmentation: For those who desire both lift and volume

Even with a healthy lifestyle, some post-pregnancy fat deposits can be stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction targets these areas, contouring your body by removing excess fat from places like the abdomen, hips, thighs, or back, helping you regain your pre-pregnancy silhouette

Not always part of the standard mommy makeover, but for some, childbirth can lead to changes in the labia. Labiaplasty reduces the prominence of an elongated labia minora, which can cause chafing and discomfort during exercise, sexual intercourse, or while wearing tight garments. This procedure can enhance both comfort and confidence.

Every mommy makeover is as unique as the journey of motherhood itself. At Vitruvian Surgical Institute in Coral Springs, Fl, we tailor the combination of procedures to your specific needs and aesthetic goals. The aim is not to erase the signs of motherhood but to rejuvenate and restore your body, celebrating your transformation while addressing any physical concerns.
