Mommy Makeover

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy makeover in Portland is a combination of several procedures that can include anything from breast augmentation, body lifts, liposuction, and tummy tuck to labial reduction and vaginal rejuvenation.

Even with a well-maintained diet and regular exercise, it is difficult to regain a pre-pregnancy body without surgical intervention. Women go through abdominal stretching, vaginal trauma, and a decrease in breast volume during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. A mommy makeover procedure can help you achieve that pre-baby figure with a series of personalized procedures.

Breast Surgery During Mommy Makeovers

A common facet of many people’s personalized mommy makeover plans is breast rejuvenation surgery, whether through breast implants or breast lift surgery. Often, mothers who breastfeed develop sagging breasts or deflated-looking breasts that can easily be fixed with customized implants or a lifting surgery, where loose, sagging skin can be removed and the breast envelope tightened for a much more youthful appearance to the breasts.

Abdominal Surgery

Another popular part of mommy makeovers is often a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty. This is a highly versatile procedure that can address many of the following concerns:

• C-section scarring
• Excess fat
• Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Sagging, loose skin

There are many techniques for abdominoplasty, including mini tummy tuck with a shorter incision that exclusively addresses the issues people have below their belly button. More extensive techniques are also possible to firm and tighten the entire midsection with a scar that is concealable in nearly any article of clothing.

Mommy Makeover Vaginal Rejuvenation

Although not always achieved surgically, vaginal rejuvenation can be a life-changing treatment for those who have given birth and suffered vaginal trauma. Issues like incontinence, lack of sexual enjoyment, and many other conditions can be addressed both surgically and non-surgically depending on the degree of rejuvenation desired, budget, and recovery timeline. Often, labiaplasty is performed to reduce excess tissue in various areas of the vagina that can cause discomfort, and Dr. Bohley also provides non-invasive treatments like Geneveve to help treat laxity and loss of sensation over the course of several treatment sessions.

Am I a Good Candidate for A Mommy Makeover Surgery?

Anyone in a healthy weight range who is looking to restore their pre-baby body makes for a good candidate for this procedure. A mommy makeover can consist of many different procedures, and those who have sagging or uneven breasts, loose skin, or excess fat on the abdomen, or excess fat around the hips and thighs can greatly benefit from a mommy makeover. As long as you’re done having children and have had your last child around a year ago, you can be a good candidate for body contouring procedures.

Some women choose to wait a few years before undergoing the procedure and can benefit from the same results as those who look for it as soon as possible after giving birth. Be specific about your goals during your consultation in Portland so that Dr. Bohley can recommend the most appropriate procedures for this combination surgery. Patients who have realistic expectations from their procedures are often happiest with their results.

What is the Recovery Like?

The recovery time period varies by patient and surgical plan and Dr. Bohley will let you know what to expect, depending on the number of procedures you have undergone during your mommy makeover. Most people who undergo multiple plastic surgery procedures take up to two weeks off work to heal.

Incisions will be made as small and inconspicuous as possible so that scars are not apparent. Patients can expect to be bandaged and wear compression garments after surgery to help in the recovery process and reduce swelling. Any discomfort can be eased with prescribed pain medication.

What Will Be My Results from A Mommy Makeover?

Since a mommy makeover in Portland is a customized package, the results vary widely by patient. Your results can include having a flatter and firmer abdomen, beautifully contoured breasts, shapely and proportionate hips, a smaller waist, or all of the above! With a mommy makeover, the key benefit for many is that they feel a rise in their self-confidence due to their new, sleeker figure.
