Mommy Makeover Merrillville, IN | Demetrios Katsaros, MD

Understanding the Mommy Makeover Procedure

The Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive surgical approach designed to address permanent physical changes resulting from pregnancy. This specialized procedure typically combines multiple surgical techniques to restore a woman's pre-pregnancy body contours and appearance.

Core Mommy Makeover Components

The standard Mommy Makeover includes two primary surgical procedures:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles
• Breast lift and/or augmentation to restore breast shape and volume

Additional Potential Procedures

Patients may also consider complementary procedures such as:

• Liposuction of arms or thighs
• Buttock augmentation or sculpting
• Vaginal tightening
• Tubal ligation

Pregnancy's Impact on Body Structure

Pregnancy creates permanent changes in a woman's body, including stretched skin, loosened fascial support layers, and altered breast and abdominal contours. Standard diet and exercise cannot fully reverse these structural modifications.

Surgical Restoration Techniques

The Mommy Makeover surgically addresses these permanent changes by removing excess skin, re-tightening underlying muscular structures, and restoring pre-pregnancy body proportions.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery time for a Mommy Makeover is primarily determined by the tummy tuck component, typically requiring 2-3 weeks of recovery, regardless of additional procedures performed.
