What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is EXACTLY what the name implies. It aims to reverse changes associated with becoming a mommy. Pregnancy and childbirth take a toll on a mother’s body. While it affects the entire body, changes in the abdomen, breasts, and birth canal are often the most noticeable and the most concerning to patients.

Elements of a Mommy Makeover:

  • Tummy changes: There is stretching of the abdominal musculature, skin stretch, and stretch marks. These require an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to correct.
  • Breasts: Breasts undergo engorgement with milk, enlargement, and skin stretching. After feeding, there is breast atrophy and loss of fullness. This also results in sagging of the breasts.
  • Corrective surgery requires elements ranging from breast reduction to breast lift (with or without implants) and breast contouring.
  • Skin rolls on the chest and flanks: These are the result of weight gain and fluid accumulation during pregnancy. Stretched skin remains in rolls. These may need liposuction or excision to correct.
  • Birth canal changes: There is stretching of the vagina and pelvic floor. Additionally, there may be enlargement and hypertrophy of the labia minora. Labiaplasty or vaginal tightening may be needed to reverse these changes.
  • Thigh and arm sagging: A thigh lift, arm lift, and or liposuction of the thighs and arms may be needed.

  • Common Mommy Makeover Combinations

    Mommy Makeovers combine surgical procedures to restore your body to its pre-pregnancy state or to achieve an even better one. Some of the procedures Dr. Rai might suggest are:

  • An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a smoother and more toned appearance.

  •  Bikiniplasty sculpts and enhances the contours of the bikini area, creating a natural, flattering appearance in swimwear.

     

  • Breast augmentation uses implants or fat transfer to increase volume, enhance shape, and restore fullness after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

  • A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts, restoring a youthful, perky appearance while improving symmetry.

     

  • Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and skin to alleviate discomfort and achieve proportionate, balanced breasts.

     

  • A buttock lift enhances the shape and contour of the posterior by removing excess skin and sometimes repositioning tissue for a natural, lifted appearance.

  • Labiaplasty reshapes and reduces the labia minora and/or majora to restore comfort, improve appearance, and support vaginal health.

  • Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from targeted areas, sculpting and contouring the body for a smoother silhouette.

  • A thigh lift tightens and contours sagging skin along the inner and outer thighs, resulting in smoother, more proportionate legs.

     

  • A tummy tuck restores a flat, firm abdomen by removing excess skin, tightening abdominal muscles, and improving the overall contour of the midsection.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Mommy Makeover?

To be a good candidate for Mommy Makeover surgery, you will need to be:

  • In generally good health and close to your goal weight
  • A nonsmoker or willing to quit in advance of your procedure
  • Able to take time to rest during a necessary recovery period
  • Willing to follow all of Dr. Rai’s pre- and post-operative advice

Dr. Rai can discuss these factors with you in greater detail and help you determine if this procedure is right for your needs during your initial consultation at our conveniently located Dallas office.

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover can restore your pre-pregnancy body and boost confidence. Patients often experience a firmer, more toned abdomen, lifted and rejuvenated breasts, contoured thighs and arms, and enhanced overall body proportions. The procedure can also reduce discomfort caused by excess skin or large breasts, improve posture, and help you feel like yourself again in clothing and swimwear.

The Best Age for a Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover surgery is ideal for mothers of all ages, but it should be considered only after you have finished having children. Many of the changes brought about by pregnancy can alter your Mommy Makeover results, necessitating additional procedures to restore the breasts and body to their most appealing form. If you plan on having more children, Dr. Rai will likely recommend you wait to undergo the Mommy Makeover procedure to ensure better lasting results.

Preparing for Mommy Makeover Surgery

Your Mommy Makeover Journey with Surjit Rai, MD

Planning and preparing for your Dallas Mommy Makeover surgery can make a significant difference in the success of your makeover and recovery.

If a health-related issue arises after your consultation, please contact the office so that this information can be added to your medical records. No matter how excited you are to have your makeover, risking complications due to a health condition or illness can be very dangerous. In addition, because some medications cause your blood to thin, Dr. Rai will give you a list of medications you must avoid prior to surgery.

So, You Are Interested in a Mommy Makeover

The journey begins with a consultation with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. Be ready to present your concerns and needs. The surgical plan is made. The surgery may be done in one setting or in stages, depending on what needs to be done.

Steps in the Journey

After a consultation, your surgery is scheduled. Often, there will be a preoperative visit with the surgeon. During this visit, the procedure is discussed again, all questions are answered, photos are taken, and consent for surgery is signed. Needed prescriptions are given.

Surgery

Most often, Mommy Makeovers are outpatient surgeries. However, sometimes an overnight stay in a hospital or recovery center may be required.

What is Done During Surgery?

It depends on each individual Mommy Makeover. Most often, an abdominoplasty and breast surgery are needed. Most surgeries require general anesthesia. For safety, only accredited facilities should be used for any surgery.

    Dr. Rai is the best in Dallas

    This is my second-time coming to Dr. Rai for my nose and breast and I never leave disappointed. He is so kind and truly an artist at his craft. His staff is so kind and always so helpful. I had multiple consultations with different doctors and let me tell you Dr. Rai is the best in Dallas. Look no further Dr. Rai has the experience and his kindness are like no other.

  • MRKTMade_Rai-40-circle-473

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Rai and his team.

    From the very first consultation, he listened with compassion, answered all of my questions, and made me feel completely supported in my decision to explant.

    The surgery itself went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out, though, was the phenomenal aftercare. Dr. Rai and his staff checked in consistently, responded quickly whenever I had concerns, and made sure I felt cared for every step of the way.

  • MRKTMade_Rai-40-473

    I’m forever grateful for Dr. Rai and his team.

    They are so thorough, nice, calming, reassuring, supportive…. I could go on and on. I would recommend Dr. Rai over and over! You simply cannot go Wrong with making him your choice. My favorite thing about the whole process was after surgery HE personally calls and emails you until you are released from his care. HE personally talks to you on the phone and shows that he gives a crap about his patient. It’s not just a paycheck to Dr. Rai, he truly cares and actually shows it. You don’t have many drs SHOWING their genuine care outside of your surgery day. He’s there for his patients and I’m grateful for it bc he calmed so much anxiety!!! Plus, his work is WONDERFUL! 100/10 recommend!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Surjit Rai and his staff!

     They were exceptional, from the time I made my appointment to my consultation, my surgery and post op care. The front desk staff made the scheduling easy, the pre and post op nurse was kind and put my nerves at ease. Dr. Rai is a skilled surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner, he explained the surgery and outcome very clearly and provided personal post op support. I am a nurse in the medical field and I would highly recommend him as a surgeon.
