FAQ
What’s included in a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover typically combines procedures to address pregnancy-related changes:
• Tummy tuck: Repairs separated abdominal muscles and removes excess skin
• Breast procedure: Lift, reduction, or augmentation depending on needs
• Liposuction: Removes stubborn fat deposits
• Additional options: Arm lift, thigh lift, or Brazilian butt lift
The exact combination is customized based on your specific concerns and goals.
Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
You may be a good candidate if you have:
• Excess abdominal skin that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise
• Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) from pregnancy
• Stubborn fat deposits in the abdominal area
• Realistic expectations about results and recovery
• Good overall health and stable weight
What’s the difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck?
• Liposuction: Removes fat only, best for good skin elasticity, minimal downtime
