Dr. Rachel Streu discusses Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover is a term for women who wish to rejuvenate their bodies after childbirth. Rather than one procedure, a Mommy Makeover refers to a combination of procedures tailored to the needs and desires of the patient. Often these procedures can be combined to lessen recovery time. It is best done when no further pregnancies are planned.

Our team has a special understanding of the needs of women, and our board certified surgeons have performed numerous Mommy Makeovers. Our surgeons believes in a natural look, combining the eye of an artist with the technical skill of an experienced surgeon.
Below are the most common Mommy Makeover procedures:

Tummy Tuck -
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is one of the most popular Mommy Makeover cosmetic surgeries. Not only is excess skin and fat removed from the abdomen, but stretched muscles can be tightened as well. Liposuction may be used during the procedure for additional contouring.

Liposuction -
Liposuction is a procedure that removes localized pockets of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. A suction device is used to remove the fat tissue through a small incision.

Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants) -
During a Mommy Makeover, many women decide to increase the size of their breasts for better body proportion and to replace volume that is lost after pregnancy and nursing. This procedure can be done concurrently with a breast lift to raise sagging breasts.

Breast Lift -
A breast lift is frequently performed during a Mommy Makeover to reshape and restore the breasts to their former higher position.

Breast Reduction -
For some women, large breasts cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as difficulty in finding clothes that fit properly.

Vaginal Rejuvenation -
Childbirth and the natural aging process cause changes that can impact feminine wellness. Women facing these problems have a nonsurgical solution in ThermiVa®.

Childbirth can sometimes stretch the labia, causing some women to wish to reduce them for both comfort and appearance.
