Many women come to us because they can’t get rid of extra skin and fat after pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, aging, or extreme weight loss. These things can make a lasting mark on a woman’s body. Diet and exercise may help, but often, bodies can only be tightened through surgery.
If you’ve tried diet and exercise but have sagging skin, a post-baby “bump” on your tummy, or breasts that don’t feel like they used to, a Mommy Makeover can help you reclaim your body so you look and feel like yourself again.
At Plastic Surgery Center, we can help you change your life with Mommy Makeover surgery.
Mommy Makeovers are a combination of cosmetic procedures that reshape and enhance your body at any age. They may include:
- Breast surgery may be breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction.
- A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or mini tummy tuck (which targets only the lower tummy) corrects stretched and loose skin.
- Liposuction contours problem areas.
With a Mommy Makeover, you and your surgeon discuss your goals and create a plan. Your first step to getting your body back and renewing your self-confidence is a consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons.
Real Patients. Real Results.
Our real Plastic Surgery Center patient appreciated the care and professionalism at the Plastic Surgery Center. Read about her Mommy Makeover surgery that included a saline implant exchange for silicone, tummy tuck, and liposuction.
Tell us about your journey to Mommy Makeover surgery:
PSC Patient: I have been getting facials and BOTOX for years and loved the staff, so I was comfortable with the practice. Over 20 years ago, I got saline implants in another state and started to notice them deflating. I knew I needed to have them replaced, so I went in for a consultation. Dr. Sprole recommended silicone implants, and I decided to have a tummy tuck at the same time.
Describe the days after the procedure:
PSC Patient: I knew I wanted an EXPAREL block, which is an injection that provides pain relief after surgery. Dr. Sprole agreed and said that would really help with post-surgery pain. After the surgery, I didn’t have any pain in my chest, but I did have manageable tummy pain. I slept in a recliner and took pain pills for about a week. I went out to dinner at one week and was back to work in two.
When did you notice your results?
PSC Patient: I noticed them immediately. My husband and sister-in-law were amazed at how much better I looked, and they couldn’t believe how good the incision was.
Are you happy with your results?
PSC Patient: Yes! I can now tuck in my shirt and feel confident. While I didn’t lose much weight, all that extra stomach skin is gone. Seeing my husband’s expression as he said, “Now I can see why you wanted to do it,” was wonderful. There was nothing I could do about the extra skin except have surgery, and I am so glad I did it.
Do you have advice for people considering Mommy Makeover surgery?
PSC Patient: Just do it. It feels so good not to have to cover up! I wish I had done it sooner so I could have enjoyed the results longer. Don’t overdo it after surgery – you’ll have better results. Let someone take care of you for at least the first week. Don’t be scared. It’s totally worth it.
