A mommy makeover is one of the most customizable body-contouring solutions available, designed to restore confidence and comfort after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging. At Holcomb – Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa, board-certified specialists Dr. Joshua Kreithen, Dr. Marc Salzman, and double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. J. David Holcomb bring more than 75 years of combined experience to each surgical plan. Their refined approach ensures every treatment aligns with personal anatomy, goals, and long-term aesthetic harmony. Let’s explore how each procedure contributes to a balanced, natural-looking mommy makeover plan.
Tummy Tuck: Creating a Stronger, Flatter Abdominal Profile
A tummy tuck is often the cornerstone of a mommy makeover because it treats some of the most common post-pregnancy concerns. This procedure removes excess skin, tightens abdominal muscles, and refines the waistline, especially when diastasis recti is present. Many patients choose a tummy tuck to address laxity that cannot be improved through diet or exercise alone. Key improvements include:
- Muscle repair: Tightening separated abdominal muscles for improved core support.
- Skin refinement: Removing stretched or excess skin for a smoother contour.
- Waistline enhancement: Restoring definition through precise reshaping.
This combination makes a tummy tuck a foundational part of restoring core strength and smoother contours.
Liposuction: Targeted Fat Reduction With Lasting Definition
Liposuction enhances the results of a mommy makeover by sculpting areas where stubborn fat persists. Key advantages of liposuction include:
- Targeted sculpting: Refining areas resistant to diet and exercise.
- Enhanced contour balance: Improving proportions between the waist, hips, and abdomen.
- Precision shaping: Allowing fine-tuned adjustments that complement procedures like tummy tuck or breast surgery.
By removing fat with accuracy, liposuction strengthens the overall harmony of your results and supports more defined body contours.
Breast Augmentation: Restoring Fullness and Volume
Pregnancy and breastfeeding often lead to decreased volume or changes in breast shape. Breast augmentation enhances contours using implants selected to match body proportions and aesthetic goals. Many patients choose augmentation to address:
- Volume enhancement: Rebuilding fullness lost after pregnancy or weight changes.
- Shape improvement: Creating better symmetry and upper pole definition.
- Aesthetic preference: Achieving either subtle refinement or a more noticeable level of fullness.
These benefits help reestablish balanced, confident contours that feel tailored to your goals.
Breast Lift: Elevate and Reshape for Youthful Contours
A breast lift elevates and reshapes the breasts by refining position and contour. This procedure is ideal for patients who want to correct:
- Sagging: Addressing ptosis caused by pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations.
- Shape definition: Creating a firmer, more refined silhouette.
- Nipple placement: Repositioning the nipple-areola complex for improved alignment.
Some patients choose to combine a lift with implants for added volume, while others opt for a lift alone to achieve smoother, more proportional contours.
Breast Reduction: Comfortable, Proportional Results.
For patients experiencing discomfort or heaviness from enlarged breasts, breast reduction surgery provides both functional relief and aesthetic improvement. Benefits often include:
- Reduced neck and back strain
- Improved posture and daily comfort
- A lighter, more proportional breast shape
By removing excess tissue and reshaping the breast mound, this procedure creates a more comfortable, balanced silhouette.
