While pregnancy can be a beautiful and wondrous experience, many women long for the body they had before they became a mom. The joys of having children and building a family are immeasurably valuable. But the toll childbearing can take on a woman’s body is significant.

Mothers who have given birth to multiple children and have breastfed each of them are highly likely to be physically altered from childrearing. Even women who exercise and implement a balanced diet will experience lasting major bodily changes. This is where the Mommy Makeover comes in.

What Can a Mommy Makeover Really Do For My Body?

Over time, a woman’s breasts begin to lose volume and start to sag, giving them a deflated quality. Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is designed to lift sagging breasts by removing stretched, loose skin and bring back that beautiful firmness.

Loose skin, a belly bulge, and stretch marks are commonplace among mothers. The belly bulge is often the result of a separation of the abdominal walls. This results from the stretching of the stomach during pregnancy. This can be rectified with the tummy tuck.

During a tummy tuck, the abdominal wall muscles are tightened and excess fatty tissue and skin are removed to improve the body contour. The abdominal muscles can only be rejoined surgically. The goal is a narrower, flatter abdomen. Realistic expectations are important, so remember that the tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss.

Dr. Murtagh will discuss your ultimate goals and customize a set of cosmetic surgery procedures to refresh your appearance after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A Mommy Makeover is designed to address a wide array of facial and body-contouring needs associated with pregnancy and age by combining multiple surgical techniques. These include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, BOTOX®, and other desired procedures.

These procedures are combined to complement one another to provide the most thorough total-body rejuvenation possible in one surgery. The Mommy Makeover combination procedure is tailored to address the needs of the individual patient to help restore their youthful appearance, rejuvenate the skin, and redefine their body’s contours.

1. Improve the appearance of breasts that have been stretched by pregnancy and nursing

2. Restore a firm, flat appearance to the abdomen

3. Eliminate isolated areas of fat from the thighs, tummy, hips, and other trouble spots

4. Renew self-confidence and restore a positive self-image

In Florida, every Mommy Makeover patient seen by Dr.Casey receives a personalized treatment plan because they address the unique way in which motherhood affects each woman’s body. Dr. Casey is a renowned innovator in breast enhancement surgery and body contouring and will maximize your improvements while ensuring a natural look.

Mommy Makeovers usually include a combination of the following procedures:

1. Tummy Tuck

2. Breast Lift

3. Breast Augmentation

4. Liposuction

While body contouring and breast enhancement procedures are popular with many moms, some women also include a facial procedure like a mini-facelift or eyelid lift. Even non-surgical BOTOX® Cosmetic can be helpful by treating the fine lines women can develop after spending many sleepless nights staying up with baby. Mommy Makeovers enable patients to maximize their downtime by combining several procedures with only a single recovery period.

Prior to the day of your Mommy Makeover surgery you will have an informative pre-op visit where we will discuss your surgical plan and finalize your procedure. We will take this opportunity to answer any questions that have come up since your consultation. On the day of your surgery, Dr. Casey will meet with you again to review the details of your procedures and answer any remaining questions.

Mommy Makeovers are performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, in our state-of-the-art surgical suite. Our on-site surgery center was created with the patient in mind, paying special attention to safety, convenience, privacy, and quality care.

The duration of your surgery and recovery depend on the procedures being performed, but the majority of moms can gradually resume their daily routine within a few days. Once they are fully recovered, Casey Mommy Makeover patients are consistently pleased with their renewed appearance and restored self confidence.
