Mommy Makeover at PVPS

Pregnancy and childbirth are magical times for mothers bringing new life into the world. At the same time, motherhood also brings about many unwanted physical changes to the body. Many of these changes cannot be reversed simply with regular diet and exercise. This is where a mommy makeover can be transformative.

The surgeons of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery understand just how important getting your pre-pregnancy body is, which is why we offer a customized surgical procedure known as the mommy makeover. If you’re looking to “get your body back” after childbirth, come in to one of our offices in the Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra Beach, or Fernandina Beach, FL area to find out if a mommy makeover is the right fit for you.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

The mommy makeover combines body contouring procedures such as arm lift, thigh lift, and liposuction surgeries with cosmetic breast surgery to create an improved overall physical appearance — all at the same time. A mommy makeover can address:

  • Loose or sagging skin on the abdomen
  • Stubborn love handles and fat left over from pregnancy
  • Drooping breasts that have lost volume
  • Abdominal bulge
  • Separated or weak abdominal muscles
  • Stretch marks

Mommy Makeover Procedure Details

All mommy makeovers are performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Depending on how many techniques are combined, the surgery varies in time from 2-4 hours. It is common for patients to have an overnight stay on site with this surgery. Most women will require a full month to recover, but many will be able to return to work within two weeks.

The Mommy Makeover: Customized to Meet Your Needs

One of the best things about the mommy makeover procedure is that it can be uniquely tailored to your specific needs and goals, depending on what body parts you want to improve. In most cases, surgery for the breasts and tummy are performed together (though not always). The conditions addressed during surgery and the surgical technique used will vary.

Breasts

  • Conditions caused by pregnancy: Loss of volume and/or breast tissue; sagging and/or drooping, excess skin (ptosis); breasts that have become too large
  • Surgeries to consider: Breast augmentation with implants, breast lift, breast augmentation with a lift, breast reduction surgery

Abdomen

  • Conditions caused by pregnancy: Excess fat and/or persistent bulge in the abdomen; sagging and loose skin; stretch marks, and other unsightly skin irregularities
  • Surgeries to consider: Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction of the abdomen

Lower Body

  • Conditions caused by pregnancy: Sagging skin and excess fat in the buttocks, hips, and thighs
  • Surgeries to consider: Lower body lift including liposuction and skin tightening of the buttocks, hips, and thighs

Mommy Makeover Patient Testimonial

“So happy I chose Dr. Hickman! After having my 4th child, I was eager to have a mommy makeover to fix what multiple pregnancies had left me with. Dr. Hollie Hickman was my second consultation. After meeting with her, I immediately knew she was the one, and booked my surgery that same day. She is a true professional and I felt very comfortable in her care. ”
