Meet Dr. FardoMy sex life was affected, I could [only] wear certain clothing, and walking too long caused me to cry it hurt so bad. I no longer have any of that!

When you are considering plastic surgery—especially after becoming a mother—it is important to plan ahead. The best candidate for mommy makeover surgery is a healthy, active individual who is done breastfeeding and has no plans for future pregnancies.

While every mommy makeover surgical plan is as unique as the individual patient, there are a few breast and body procedures that are frequently included in the surgery to achieve optimal results.
Your mommy makeover can include any combination of procedures and treatments that safely achieve your goals. Many women also consider other contouring procedures such as fat transfer, injectable butt lift, and even surgery for facial rejuvenation to tighten the skin. Your surgeon will create a mommy makeover plan for you during your consultation.
So much of my day-to-day centered around [how to] minimize my stomach, and just had me so preoccupied with myself—which I hated. I realized that with 4 kids at home I needed to be fully present. I couldn’t be distracted by issues of vanity and still be the mom they deserve. I needed to just have these areas taken care of, once and for all—and that’s exactly how it was. I feel like I am so much more free and I just don’t feel consumed by these insecurities anymore….The changes these procedures have brought to my everyday life have been so wonderful.

The best results are achieved when you’re at or near your ideal weight and can maintain it long-term. A mommy makeover is not a weight-loss procedure but focuses on contouring and tightening areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Yes, but it’s generally best to wait until you’re done having children. Pregnancy after a mommy makeover can reverse some of the procedure’s effects, particularly on the abdomen and breasts.
There’s no specific age, but most women choose a mommy makeover in their 30s to 40s after completing their families. The key factor is being in good overall health and ready to commit to the recovery process.
Many patients describe their mommy makeover surgery as life-changing, helping them regain their pre-pregnancy confidence and body contour. The ability to combine procedures into one surgery can also be more convenient and cost-effective.
The results of a mommy makeover can last many years, especially with a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a stable weight and following your surgeon’s recommendations can help preserve your new look for the long term.
