After childbirth, not everyone’s belly and breasts return to normal. Skin which has been stretched to the max has a surprising ability to retract and bounce back, but often stretch marks, sagging skin on the belly, separated abdominal muscles and breasts that are entirely changed, remain. If you want your pre-baby body back, consider the possibilities of a mommy makeover.

This surgery involves an incision from hip to hip, placed low on the abdomen to hide within the bikini line. The results of a tummy tuck often change how a woman dresses, how she carries herself, even how comfortably she can work out at the gym.

Breasts often change unpredictably after pregnancy. Whether you breastfeed or not, they may wind up larger, or much smaller. The density and firmness of breast tissue often softens, and the skin may sag, leaving nipples in a lower position. For some women, the addition of breast implants beautifully fluffs out mild deflation and provides the youthful fullness they miss. Others will undergo a full breast lift to remove excess skin and reposition their nipples back up to the middle. This can be done along with implants and the procedure is called an augmentation mastopexy.
