How Pregnancy Changes a Woman’s Body

Pregnancy affects each woman differently. The following can all play a role:

• Age
• Genetics
• Weight fluctuations
• Luck

We all can think of a Mom whose body bounced back quickly after pregnancy – this is not the norm!

Most women have PERMANENT CHANGES following pregnancy, including:

• Stretch marks
• Breast deflation, drooping
• Excess abdominal skin and fat
• Loss of abdominal muscle tone

WHY a “Mommy Makeover”???

How a mother feels about herself as a mother and a woman is integral to her self image and self esteem. For a mom to want to take care of herself and feel youthful, sexy and confident is NOT self-centered or vain!

“Mommy Makeover” plastic surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at making a mother’s breasts and body look the way before she had children… or perhaps even better than when she started!

Procedures usually include some or a combination of the following:

• Breasts - Lift, Augmentation or Reduction

  

• Tummy - Tuck (Abdominoplasty), “Mini”-Abdominoplasty
• Body - Liposuction
