Mommy Makeover

S. Larry Schlesinger, MD

Mommy Makeover is a term used to describe the universe of post-pregnancy surgeries that return a mother to her pre-pregnancy state and oftentimes even better than that. Women who have had one or multiple pregnancies normally consider some or all of these surgeries. There are the five basic elements to the Mommy Makeover: Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty with repair or the abdominal musculature; Liposuction to get rid of baby fat that just will not go away; Breast augmentation, breast lift or both; Labiaplasty which includes tightening of the vaginal opening; and Treatment of facial hyperpigmentations that are a result of pregnancy hormones such as the mask of pregnancy often found on the face and referred to variously as calasma or melasma.
