Having a child can completely change your body in ways you never expected. Many women are eager to regain their pre-baby figures while building new confidence as mothers. Whether you have recently had your first baby or finished planning your family, you can look to Dr. Tracy M. Pfeifer to provide exceptional care and service as your mommy makeover plastic surgeon.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
The term “mommy makeover” encompasses a broad range of cosmetic surgical procedures. Treatments are selected on a patient-by-patient basis, ensuring every woman receives the utmost personalized care.
Procedures are typically combined to target multiple parts of the body affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum changes. Common procedures included in a mommy makeover include:
- Breast augmentation — Implants can restore lost volume or enhance the shape and size of the breasts after childbirth.
- Breast lift — For women who are unhappy with the position of their breasts after pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, a breast lift can elevate the breasts, reposition the nipples, and create greater symmetry.
- Breast reduction — Those who are unhappy with the enlargement of breast tissue following pregnancy and/or breastfeeding can seek a breast reduction to return to a smaller or pre-baby cup size.
- Liposuction — This fat removal process targets unwanted, excessive deposits of adipose tissue around the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, lower back, and arms. It can be an effective way to contour your figure after having a child.
- Tummy Tuck — A tummy tuck lifts the muscles of the abdomen, smoothing out your figure. It also removes excess, sagging skin and can enhance the appearance of the stomach and waistline post-pregnancy.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Mommy makeover candidates should be finished having children. Procedures should take place six to 12 months postpartum, and you should no longer be breastfeeding. Additionally, candidates should be in good general health, have a positive outlook, and have realistic expectations about what surgery can do for them.
Dr. Pfeifer understands how personal this process is, and she offers compassionate support, care, and understanding to everyone seeking treatment. She will take time to consult with you, listen to your needs, address any concerns, and help you select the best treatments to enhance your figure and self-confidence.
