Redefine the Term ‘Mom Jeans’ with a Mommy Makeover

How would you describe your favorite pair of jeans? With a mommy makeover, you’re in charge of choosing the perfect look, be we can promise, you’ll look amazing. We’ll tighten up your abdomen, shape your waist, and redefine your breasts for the best body you’ve ever had, even before baby. ‘Mom jeans’ may have a negative connotation, but after you show the world your new look, we’re think the term might get a new definition.

Mommy Makeover After Baby- Why Every Mom Needs One

Having a baby changes the body, often in ways that aren’t appreciated. Stretch marks, a sagging tummy, and deflated looking breasts are all common complaints. Hitting the gym isn’t going to restore your pre-baby body, but a mommy makeover will. It is a customized set of plastic surgery procedures that will target your problem areas and restore a pre-pregnancy appearance to your body.

  • Stretch Marks– Many women get stretch marks during pregnancy, often on the lower abdomen. During a tummy tuck we’ll remove excess skin, and the stretch marks that are on it come too. This means fewer stretch marks, especially those found below the belly button.
  • Sagging Breasts– Breast sagging is a common complaint after pregnancy due to hormonal changes and the temporary breast size increase that occurs during pregnancy. A breast lift reshapes the breasts and moves their position to a more central location on the chest wall.
  • Loss of Breast Volume- Breast augmentation is often paired with a breast lift during the mommy makeover. Dr. Mussat places an implant into the breast to increase size. This is an excellent option for women that have experienced a loss of breast volume after pregnancy.
  • Excess Abdominal Skin- Rediscover a tight, flat abdomen. A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and fat, restoring a tighter, flatter abdomen.
  • Abdominal Muscle Separation- The abdominal muscles can separate during pregnancy, leaving a permanent pooch. If needed, we can correct abdominal muscle separation during a tummy tuck.
  • Oversize Areolas- Some women experience an increase in areola size after pregnancy. We can adjust the position of areola/nipple.

Pregnancy has changed your body, but you can change it back. With a mommy makeover, you’re in charge of how you look after baby.
