About Mommy Makeovers

A mommy makeover is a highly customized procedure that Dr. Lee can perform to correct the physical changes associated with new motherhood.

Many people consider having a child to be one of life’s greatest joys. However, the process of pregnancy and childbirth can heavily impact a woman’s body. The breasts can start to appear deflated, your skin may become inelastic and sag, and the abdominal muscles can weaken and separate. A mommy makeover offers a comprehensive approach to these concerns, allowing you to look and feel your best as you nurture your child.

What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?

Dr. Lee can include several procedures as part of your mommy makeover to address the concerns bothering you most. He usually performs both breast enhancement procedures and body contouring procedures to comprehensively resculpt your figure, but the exact combination of procedures he chooses will vary depending on your natural anatomy and desired results.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a procedure that can elevate the size, shape, symmetry, and fullness of the breasts using silicone or saline implants, your body’s own fat, or a combination of the two. (1) This procedure can reshape the breasts or restore lost volume that pregnancy or breastfeeding may have caused.

Breast Lift

A breast lift, or a mastopexy, can reshape the breasts and elevate their position to restore a perkier, more youthful-looking, and uplifted appearance without altering their volume. Dr. Lee can perform this procedure by repositioning the breasts on the chest wall, removing excess breast tissue and skin, and tightening the underlying chest muscles. He can also reshape and reposition your areolas and nipples to a more central and proportionate location while preserving their natural sensations. (2)

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction removes excess tissue from the breasts to reduce their size, weight, and fullness. When the breasts are enlarged or excessively heavy, it can lead to the development of several concerns, such as:

  • Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
  • Poor posture
  • Skin irritation caused by chafing tissue (3)

By undergoing a breast reduction, you can achieve more proportionate and even contours while simultaneously addressing any physical discomfort or pain you may have been experiencing.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that Dr. Lee can perform to restore a smoother, flatter, and more defined stomach. It achieves its results by removing your excess skin, eliminating stubborn fat, and repairing your abdominal muscles. (4) This region is one of the most impacted during pregnancy, but with a tummy tuck, you can now address it with ease and efficacy.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that uses a suctioning cannula to resculpt your figure. It can target stubborn deposits of fat by breaking them down and emulsifying them, leaving you with more even and proportionate contours. Dr. Lee can address most regions of your body with liposuction, including the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, and more. (5)

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a procedure that can reshape the labia minora and majora, or the inner and outer vaginal lips. While elongated labia are completely natural, they can lead to hygiene concerns, aesthetic displeasure, or physical discomfort when performing certain tasks and wearing certain clothing. (6) With a labiaplasty, Dr. Lee can help you combat any changes that occurred during childbirth and restore your sense of self-comfort and body positivity.

Candidates

You may be an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover if you have found yourself struggling to address the physical effects of being a new mother and want to restore a figure that aligns with your pre-pregnancy state.

To qualify for your procedure, you should be in good general health and lead a nicotine-free lifestyle. You should have completed planning your family and are no longer breastfeeding. It is also important that you possess a stable weight that you can maintain long-term. Dr. Lee will assess your candidacy during your consultation.

Personal Consultation

Your personal consultation is a fundamental part of your transformation. During this meeting, Dr. Lee will explain what a mommy makeover includes, review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and establish realistic goals. He will also perform a physical examination to assess your natural anatomy and skin quality.

Dr. Lee will then use each of the details you shared to finalize your candidacy and tailor a one-of-a-kind solution around your needs. He will decide what procedures to perform as part of your mommy makeover, and he may suggest including additional procedures based on your desired results. We also encourage you to prepare questions and bring in photos of your desired results. By doing so, Dr. Lee can further understand your aesthetic goals and ensure you feel confident leaving your consultation.

Preparation

Once Dr. Lee has met with you, he will give you instructions to help you prepare for your procedure. These directions may vary according to your treatment plan and lifestyle habits, but they generally include:

  • Avoiding Certain Medications: Discontinue using any medications or supplements that contain blood-thinning properties.
  • Coordinating Care: Have a trusted friend or family member drive you home after your procedure and stay with you for the first few days of your recovery.
  • Arranging Time Away: Make preparations to take time away from your career and personal responsibilities.
  • Preparing Your Home: Pick up any medications you need and rearrange your home to create a comfortable recovery environment.
  • Stopping Certain Substances: Stop consuming nicotine and alcohol in the weeks leading up to your procedure.

Recovery

After your procedure, you will need to take some time to yourself to allow your body to heal. You can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, and general discomfort around the treated areas. These effects will subside on their own, but you may also manage them using medications and plenty of rest.

We encourage you to begin taking light walks around your home as soon as you feel ready, because these movements will increase your circulation and prevent blood clots from forming. After approximately 2 weeks, you may begin to return to desk work and nonstrenuous activities. However, you will need to refrain from anything more demanding until Dr. Lee has approved your return. He will also have you return for follow-up appointments starting the day after your procedure. It is at these appointments that he will remove your bandages, remove any stitches, and monitor your recovery progression.

Results

The results of a mommy makeover will vary between patients, but you can expect to enjoy improved proportions, more even contours, smoother and tighter skin, and more symmetrical and shapely breasts—each of which can contribute to a more alluring and youthful-looking appearance overall. You may also feel more empowered and confident after seeing your results.
