Comprehensive Mommy Makeover in San Mateo, CA | Frank J. Piro, MD

Understanding Mommy Makeover Surgery

Dr. Frank J. Piro, a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Mateo, offers comprehensive mommy makeover surgery for women in San Carlos, Hillsborough, and Burlingame. This personalized procedure combines multiple surgical techniques to address aesthetic concerns resulting from pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Procedure Components

A mommy makeover is a customized surgical approach typically involving two or more procedures. Most commonly, the surgery combines:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• Breast enhancement procedures
• Optional liposuction or additional body contouring

Addressing Pregnancy-Related Body Changes

Pregnancy can significantly impact a woman's body, causing aesthetic challenges such as:

• Loose, inelastic abdominal skin
• Separated or weakened abdominal muscles
• Breast volume loss
• Nipple position changes

Surgical Approach in San Mateo

Dr. Piro performs mommy makeover surgery under general anesthesia, typically requiring four to five hours. The procedure focuses on precisely addressing each patient's unique body concerns through strategic surgical techniques.

Tummy Tuck Technique

The tummy tuck involves creating a horizontal incision along the pubic region, carefully hidden by bikini lines. Dr. Piro removes excess skin, performs targeted liposuction, and reconstructs abdominal muscles to restore a firmer, flatter profile.

Breast Enhancement Options

Breast procedures may include lifting, augmentation with silicone or saline implants, or a combination approach to restore volume and improve nipple positioning.

Recovery and Candidacy

Patients typically require approximately two weeks of recovery, with gradual return to normal activities. Ideal candidates include women who:

• Have completed childbearing
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations
• Do not smoke
• Seek improvement in body contours post-pregnancy

Patient Considerations

Recovery involves managing temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Piro provides comprehensive post-surgical guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.
