A combination of tummy tuck, liposculpture and breast surgery (augmentation, lift or reduction) to restore the body after pregnancy, under a single anesthesia and with a single recovery.
Pregnancy leaves three things behind that exercise cannot undo: separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), loose skin on the abdomen, and breasts that lost volume or sagged. The mommy makeover addresses all of them together.
Doing it in a single operation demands planning, a hospital setting and an experienced team: controlled operating time, blood clot prevention and close follow-up.
