Mommy Makeover in Woodbury, MN | Woodbury Plastic Surgery, David Thao, MD

Understanding Mommy Makeover Procedures

Pregnancy can significantly transform a woman's body, making it challenging to regain pre-pregnancy shape through diet and exercise alone. At Woodbury Plastic Surgery, Mommy Makeover procedures help mothers restore their body contours and confidence.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address post-pregnancy body changes. These procedures typically include:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
• Breast lift or breast augmentation
• Liposuction in targeted body areas

Ideal Candidates for Mommy Makeover

Patients may consider a Mommy Makeover if they experience:

• Dissatisfaction with post-pregnancy appearance
• Changes in breast size and shape
• Excess or sagging abdominal skin
• Weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

Procedure Details

Dr. David Thao performs Mommy Makeover surgeries under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The operation time varies depending on the specific procedures included in the treatment plan.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-surgery, patients can expect:

• Compression garment and support bra
• Potential drainage tube for excess fluid
• Temporary swelling, soreness, and bruising
• Medication to manage symptoms
• Return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks

Complementary Procedures

Patients may also consider additional cosmetic facial procedures to enhance their Mommy Makeover results, such as eyelid surgery, Botox, dermal fillers, and laser treatments.
