Mommy Makeover

Our Approach

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often create noticeable yet undesirable changes in the body. For instance, the abdominal skin stretches and the muscles separate to accommodate the baby, but these structures do not return to their original state after childbirth. The breasts may sag on the chest wall after breastfeeding, losing their shape and perky appearance. And stubborn fat deposits may linger.

Women who are unhappy with their appearance following pregnancy and nursing can benefit from a mommy makeover. At Franciscan Health, we customize each mommy makeover to your anatomy and wishes.

What is a mommy makeover?

Mommy makeover refers to a combination of breast enhancement and body contouring procedures to restore (or improve upon) your pre-pregnancy body. Mommy makeover can address post-pregnancy and nursing concerns including:

• Diastasis recti (weakened or separated abdominal muscles)
• Excess, loose skin on breasts or abdomen
• Oversized or downward-pointing nipples
• Sagging or deflated breasts that have lost their youthful shape
• Small, stubborn fat deposits on the abdomen that resist weight loss efforts

What does a mommy makeover include?

Each mommy makeover is unique. The skilled plastic surgeons in the Franciscan Health network create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your concerns and goals. Mommy makeovers are customized to each individual and may include procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast lift, labiaplasty and body shaping surgery.
