What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover consists of a selection of cosmetic procedures to restore the appearance of a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. There are many different areas of the body that can be addressed with cosmetic surgery, non-surgical treatments, or a combination of both.

A mommy makeover can provide the following benefits:

  • Improve overall breast contour and symmetry.
  • Restore volume to breasts and correct sagging.
  • Remove excess, lax skin from the abdomen.
  • Repair separated abdominal muscles that cause a protruding tummy.
  • Reduce stubborn pockets of fat.
  • Refine body contours for more confidence.

I have had the best experience with Dr. Willis and Leah. I have had filler, Dysport, and I've been under the knife with Dr. Willis and I've been so happy with all of my results. I actually feel like a part of their family, I can call whenever I need anything and they both make me feel like they care about me and my results.

Nothing but praise for Charlottesville Plastic Surgery. Dr. Willis explained everything he needed to do clearly and his work was top-notch. When needed he made an immediate referral for me and explained exactly what I would expect from that. Great communication, efficient office.

Dr. Willis and his staff were amazing! Very calm, clean and professional atmosphere. They were inviting and attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I went in for a consultation and had my lip filler procedure in the same day. Quick and painless. The results are perfect. I highly recommend Dr.Willis and taking advantage of the referral program. 10/10!

Who is a Candidate?

Women who would like to improve their body contours following childbirth or simply due to aging can often benefit from a mommy makeover. However, if you are considering breast surgery as part of your mommy makeover you would wait until several months after you are done breastfeeding. It is also best to wait until you’re finished having children before undergoing his procedure, as future pregnancy can negatively impact results. For more information about candidacy, contact our office today to schedule a consultation.

Recovery time following your mommy makeover will vary depending on the number and extent of your procedures.
