Candidacy
Breast augmentation with lift
For women desiring larger, perkier breasts, a breast augmentation with lift may be the perfect procedure. This combines the increased volume of implants with the lifting, tightening effects of a breast lift. This is perhaps the most common breast enhancement procedure involved in a Mommy Makeover. Once a mother is done having children, her breasts are often deflated and sagging and no longer resemble her previous youthful, full breasts. This procedure is ideal for reversing those effects.
Learn moreBreast lift
A breast lift removes excess skin only while not touching underlying breast tissue. Depending on the amount of breast volume you have, a breast augmentation may or may not be necessary to fill out the new shape. In other words, the breast lift gives the new shape, while the implant gives it its volume or fullness. Additionally, the areola size may be reduced, as it has often become enlarged or stretched out. The result is youthful, perky and beautiful breasts that no longer succumb to the effects of pregnancy.
Learn moreBreast reduction
A breast reduction, also known as a reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tissue in the breasts to reduce their size and improve their shape. This is different from a breast lift, in which only skin is removed. During a breast reduction, you are getting a reduction in volume as well as a lift. A breast reduction actually is a breast lift, while also removing tissue. It reshapes the breasts, giving them a younger, perkier appearance.
Learn moreBreast augmentation
Also known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation is a procedure that uses implants to increase the volume of the breasts. These implants are placed under the breast gland or under the chest muscle. While breast augmentation has some impact on the shape of the breast, it is generally not a procedure designed to alter the breast shape.
Learn moreAreola Reduction
Nipple and/or areola reduction is a brief outpatient surgery that effectively reduces the size of the nipple and areola. This procedure can be done alone, and it also can be done in conjunction with any other breast surgery. For women with enlarged areolas or nipples, this surgery can provide great relief from cosmetic issues that cause embarrassment or lack of confidence.

This procedure can be done alone, and it also can be done in conjunction with any other breast surgery. For women with enlarged areolas or nipples, this surgery can provide great relief from cosmetic issues that cause embarrassment or lack of confidence.
Learn moreAsymmetrical breast correction
In order to correct asymmetrical breasts, there are two primary paths: reduce the size of the larger breast, or increase the size of the smaller breast. This choice is based on many different factors, including the overall size of the patient, aesthetic preference, nipple position, and several others. Along with your surgeon, you will take all the time necessary to reach a conclusion that will produce an optimal outcome.
Learn moreBreast revision
Also known as corrective breast surgery, breast revision is performed when previous cosmetic breast surgery does not lead to the desired results. This may occur as a result of pregnancy-related changes that may have looked good prior to pregnancy but now no longer do. It may also be due to recently done breast surgery that was done in error.
Learn moreMini tummy tuck
A mini tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the abdomen to create tighter, smoother contours in the tummy. When the skin expands to accommodate a pregnant belly, it unfortunately doesn’t always retract after childbirth. If the skin has stretched, there is no amount of diet or exercise that will reduce its bulk. A mini tummy tuck is performed when excess skin has accumulated only below the belly button. A mini tummy tuck will effectively eliminate this excess skin, leaving you with a stomach that is smooth and lean.
Learn moreStandard tummy tuck
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin from the abdomen and create tighter, smoother contours in the stomach. When the skin and muscles expand to accommodate a pregnant belly, they unfortunately don’t always retract after childbirth. If the skin and muscles have stretched, there is no amount of diet or exercise that will cause these crucial structures to retract. A tummy tuck will effectively eliminate this excess skin, tighten the underlying muscles, and leave you with a flat and smooth abdomen.
Learn moreExtended tummy tuck
In many cases, pregnancy can cause a buildup of loose, excessive skin that extends beyond the abdomen. When loose skin can be seen on the flanks in addition to the tummy, an extended tummy tuck is the correct procedure to eliminate excess skin and tighten the underlying musculature.
Learn moreLiposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that is used to remove stubborn pockets of fat in different areas of the body. Contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not a method of weight loss. Instead, it is a contouring procedure, used to improve the proportions of the body.
Learn moreLabiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce the labia minora (inner labia) or labia majora (outer labia). Following pregnancy, many mothers find their labia has become enlarged due to hormones and physical strain placed on their vagina. When this occurs, women may become self-conscious due to the appearance of their enlarged labia. In addition, this can become physically uncomfortable due to chafing. With labiaplasty, patients get relief from these symptoms, restoring their labia to their original size and appearance.
Learn moreMonsplasty
A monsplasty addresses the pubic mons, also known as the pubic mound. This area can become puffy or protuberant, creating an unattractive appearance in the crotch. Through the delicate techniques in a monsplasty, this area can be removed of its excess skin and fat, giving it a rejuvenated, refreshed appearance.

If you have been told or you suspect you have an umbilical hernia, this will be repaired as part of your standard or extended tummy tuck. Your surgeon will review the details of this with you.
