A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures to correct the breasts and abdomen from signs of pregnancy and breast feeding. As pregnancy affects each woman differently, a mommy makeover is an all-encompassing term with the exact combination of surgeries determined by the individual woman’s particular needs. For the breasts, an augmentation, lift or augmentation lift may be required in combination with a no-drain tummy tuck. Occasionally, other procedures can be performed simultaneously, such as fat transfer (FTP), eyelid surgery, and even a Brazilian butt lift (BBL). Mommy makeover surgery is a unique way to describe rejuvenation of breasts and abdomen, some of the most common physical changes that occur following pregnancy.
- Immediately fitting into clothes better
- Looking great in a bathing suit
- Improved self-esteem and sexiness
- Regaining of the naturally youthful appearance
- Tightening of the abdominal muscles
- Faster recovery

Will I have scarring after?
Any time an incision is made a scar will result. The goal is to make the scar the thinnest and least noticeable as possible; put the incision in a place hidden by clothing or in natural skin creases that camouflage the scar. Additionally Dr. Ress has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve to reduce scar redness (IPL) thickness (Fractionated CO2 laser with steroid). Sometimes a scar needs to be simply re-excised and replaced with softer skin.
