Irrespective of whether you have given a natural birth or with the help of a C-section procedure, you could be a suitable candidate for mommy makeover plastic surgery. 

You should be in a good health condition in order to sustain general anesthesia and multiple surgeries that will be a part of the procedure. Also, you should not be suffering from any specific health condition that could pose a risk during your surgery or recovery. 

You should have a positive mindset, clear goals about reversing the cosmetic impact of your pregnancy and keep realistic expectations from the results.

Surgical Procedure

The mommy makeover procedure is usually performed using general anesthesia. The length of procedure will depend on the number of surgical and non-surgical treatments involved and the complexity of a particular surgery. Your surgeon will aim to minimize the invasiveness of the surgery by customizing the procedures and combining them with non-invasive treatments where possible. 

Some of the procedures that may be included as part of your mommy makeover according to your specific needs are listed as below: 

• Breast Augmentation
• Breast Lift
• Breast Reduction
• Liposuction
• Tummy Tuck
• Facelift 
• Body Lift
• Cellulite Reduction
• Stretch Mark Removal 
• Non-invasive procedures 

Breast augmentation surgery may be recommended if you have suffered loss of volume in the breasts after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Overstretching of breasts during pregnancy may cause the skin to sag, which can be corrected with breast lift surgery. 

A firmer and flatter abdomen may be restored with the help of tummy tuck surgery. Some women may gain bulk in the breast area, which can be corrected with breast reduction surgery. Liposuction is often a part of mommy makeovers to help achieve targeted fat reduction in specific areas in a less invasive manner. 

Body lift surgery or non-invasive aesthetic procedures may be applied to improve cellulite and the appearance of stretch marks and scars. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Kim receives patients from Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA and nearby areas for mommy makeover surgery.
