Mommy Makeover Leawood, KS | Swanson Center for Cosmetic Surgery

Understanding Mommy Makeover Procedures

A Mommy Makeover describes simultaneous cosmetic surgery targeting breast and body transformation for women post-childbirth. The procedure addresses common physical changes including breast volume loss, stretched abdominal skin, displaced rectus muscles, and overall body contour modifications.

Comprehensive Procedure Components

• Breast enhancement (lift, augmentation, or combination)
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• Liposuction of targeted areas
• Optional muscle repair

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Swanson Center's board-certified plastic surgeons perform Mommy Makeover procedures with precision and efficiency. Typically, breast surgery is initiated first to maintain optimal sterility, followed by body contouring procedures.

Procedure Duration and Anesthesia

The comprehensive surgery usually requires 3-5 hours, depending on individual patient needs and treatment areas. Total IV anesthesia without muscle paralysis is typically employed to ensure patient comfort and safety.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery complexity mirrors a standard tummy tuck procedure. Most patients find the combined approach preferable, experiencing a single recovery period rather than multiple surgical interventions.

Muscle Restoration

A critical aspect of the Mommy Makeover is muscle repair. The rectus diastasis, commonly caused by pregnancy or weight fluctuations, is reconstructed to restore abdominal muscle integrity and enhance overall body contour.

Patient Benefits

• Restored breast volume and shape
• Tightened abdominal muscles
• Reduced skin laxity
• Enhanced body proportions
