Mommy Makeover

Mommy Makeover in Salt Lake City Utah

Restore Your Confidence, Enhance Your Curves

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can bring incredible joy—but they can also leave lasting changes in your body that diet and exercise alone can’t fix. A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore and enhance your pre-pregnancy figure, helping you feel more confident in your skin.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. It’s tailored to your unique goals and concerns, commonly including:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty):
Removes excess skin, tightens abdominal muscles, and contours the waistline.
Breast Augmentation or Lift:
Restores volume, shape, and position of the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Liposuction:
Targets stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms for a more sculpted look.
Other Enhancements:
Depending on your needs, additional treatments like fat transfer, labiaplasty, or skin rejuvenation may be included.

Why Consider a Mommy Makeover?

Many women choose a Mommy Makeover to:

Restore a flatter, firmer stomach after pregnancy.
Lift and reshape sagging breasts with or without implants.
Eliminate stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Tighten and tone the body for a youthful, contoured appearance.
Boost self-confidence and feel more comfortable in fitted clothing and swimwear.

How the Procedure Works

Personalized Consultation:
We discuss your goals and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Surgical Plan:
The procedure is performed in a single surgery or staged in multiple sessions, depending on the complexity.
Incision Placement:
Incisions are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible, often hidden within natural creases.
Combination of Procedures:
The tummy tuck tightens abdominal muscles, liposuction removes excess fat, and breast surgery restores shape and volume.
Recovery Process:
After surgery, a compression garment is worn to support healing, and most patients return to light activities within 1-2 weeks.

What to Expect During Recovery

Initial Healing:
Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected but manageable with medication.
Downtime:
Most patients take 10-14 days off work, with full recovery in about 4-6 weeks.
Activity Restrictions:
Avoid strenuous activities for at least 6 weeks to ensure optimal healing.
Long-Lasting Results:
With a healthy lifestyle, results can last many years, restoring your pre-pregnancy body.

Am I a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

Are done having children and want to restore your body.
Are at or near your ideal weight with realistic expectations.
Want to improve loose skin, stubborn fat, or sagging breasts post-pregnancy.
Are in good health and a non-smoker to ensure a safe recovery.
