It’s no secret that pregnancy changes a woman’s body in a number of ways. If you’d like to regain your “pre-baby body,” a mommy makeover in Richmond, Northern Virginia may be right for you.
What is a Mommy Makeover?

Am I the Ideal Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Most women are prepared for the changes that their body will go through during pregnancy—the weight gain, the larger breasts, the dreaded stretch marks—yet most of us are shocked and surprised when we realize that the body simply isn’t going to pop right back into shape once the pregnancy is over. Unfortunately, even with an excellent diet and regular exercise, some areas of the body prove frustratingly resistant to recovery from the physical toll of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. If you are at or close to your ideal weight and are not considering any additional pregnancies, but are still frustrated by unappealing aesthetic changes to your body, you may be a candidate for a Mommy Makeover!
Addressing Your Personal “Problem Zones”
The mommy makeover is a highly customizable combination of surgical procedures (and potentially non-surgical ancillary treatments) that will be performed simultaneously. Not only does this address each of your “problem areas” in a single procedure, but it will also reduce the need for multiple healing periods. Your mommy makeover in Richmond, Northern Virginia with our team will be completely unique and tailored to your needs, with the exact combination of procedures depending on your unique concerns and aesthetic goals. Most mommy makeovers include some combination of the following procedures.
Breast Augmentation
One of the most popular surgeries in the country, breast augmentation increases the size of your breasts to replace the natural volume loss that can come as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding, through the use of customizable breast implants.
Breast Lift
Some patients experience drooping and sagging after breastfeeding. This procedure lifts and tightens your breast tissue to correct sagging and drooping, so you can enjoy a more pert bust and a generally more pleasing bust and body silhouette.
Breast Augmentation and Lift
This dual procedure works to simultaneously lift drooping breast tissue and reduce the presence of excess skin, while also working to add perfectly-sized implants that will increase your breast size and volume, for your ideal bust.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Childbirth can have a significant impact on an individual’s midsection. The tummy tuck targets excess fatty tissue; corrects weak, damaged abdominal musculature; and reduces stretched and sagging skin for a flatter, more contoured abdomen.
Liposuction
If pregnancy has left you with excess deposits of fatty tissue, liposuction can help. This procedure reduces bulges, “love handles,” and other unwanted curves in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and other areas for a more sculpted figure.
