Mommy Makeover in Beverly Hills | Dr. Leslie Stevens

As a mother, you take pride and happiness in watching your child grow. While you cherish the opportunity of seeing to your child’s well-being, you may be neglecting your own need for a little pampering. A Mommy Makeover in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills can help you reclaim the body you once had or have always desired.

The Mommy Makeover combines several procedures at once to help you achieve a flatter tummy, lifted and firm breasts, slender contours, and a more youthful, pre-pregnancy appearance.

As you take a little time for yourself to get a Mommy Makeover, you can enhance your body, boost your confidence, and strengthen your self-image to help you be an even better example for your child. Individuals who are not mothers but who have experienced major weight loss or unwanted signs of aging can also experience many of the same benefits from these procedures.

Tummy Pooch

Many mothers and individuals who have lost a lot of weight have a tummy pooch marked by sagging skin, excess fat, stretch marks, and separated abdominal muscles. A partial or full tummy tuck can be included in your Mommy Makeover to recontour and redefine your abdomen so that it is firm, flat, and youthful.

Benefits:

Sagging Breasts

Mommy Makeover Procedure Options

The Mommy Makeover includes a combination of surgeries/treatments and is entirely customizable. While an individual can include almost any procedures in the Mommy Makeover, the following are the most commonly selected Mommy Makeover procedures:

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck can correct unattractive changes to the abdomen caused by pregnancy, aging, heredity, or weight fluctuations. This surgery tightens and firms the abdomen to restore its definition and contour.

Traditional Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen
Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Particularly beneficial after multiple pregnancies

Tummy Tuck »

Mini Tummy Tuck (Partial Abdominoplasty)

Removes excess fat and skin from the lower abdomen only
Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscle below the navel
Appropriate for patients whose condition is not severe enough for traditional tummy tuck surgery but is more extensive than can be treated with liposuction alone

Mini Tummy Tuck »

Breast Lift

Improves breast shape and contour
Corrects breast sagging
Restores a more youthful and perky breast appearance

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation inserts implants under the breasts to increase breast fullness and projection. This surgery can help women with deflated breasts after weight loss or pregnancy to achieve a more balanced and feminine figure.

Enhances breast shape for a rounder, more feminine look
Restores youthful volume and firmness
Implants come in a wide variety of sizes, profiles, textures, etc. for patient customization

Can be performed anywhere on the body
Permanently removes unwanted fat
Improves body contours

Concerns

Recovery

Your Mommy Makeover recovery may be longer than it would have been for a single procedure, but it will be far shorter than undergoing multiple separate operations each with their own recovery. Because the Mommy Makeover is customized for every patient, the recovery experience can vary greatly. You should carefully follow all postoperative instructions given by Dr. Stevens to ensure a smooth recovery. Prescribed medications should be taken to limit the risk of infection and reduce any discomfort. Drains and compression garments may be needed depending on the procedures included in your Mommy Makeover. Swelling and bruising in the areas operated on may last a few weeks. Patients should rest at home for at least several days and limit their activities for several weeks. Strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for a full six weeks. Dr. Stevens will inform patients when it is appropriate for them to return to work (typically two to three weeks after the surgery).

Scars

Patients should expect some degree of scarring after the Mommy Makeover. The extent of scarring will depend on the surgical incisions and your body’s capacity for healing. Women who undergo breast surgery will likely have scars either under the breast fold or around the areolas. Those who undergo a tummy tuck will likely have scarring in the lower abdomen, approximately where a c-section incision is placed. Liposuction typically leaves only small, inconspicuous incisions or no scars at all, and BOTOX® Cosmetic injections do not leave any scarring. Patients who carefully comply with all postoperative instructions may have less visible scars as a result. All scars should fade over time and can be minimized by avoiding trauma to the incision sites during recovery, using silicone scar sheets, and limiting sun exposure.

Schedule a Consultation

Pain

Anesthesia is used to prevent pain during the surgery. Discomfort during recovery can be alleviated by taking prescribed pain medications. During an abdominoplasty, Dr. Stevens also inserts a pain pump catheter to deliver anesthetic directly to the repaired muscles if needed. Any pain is temporary and is a natural part of the body’s healing process.

Cost

When is the best time to get a Mommy Makeover?

Who is an ideal candidate for Mommy Makeover surgery?

The best candidates have a healthy lifestyle and are within 10 to 15 pounds of their goal weight.

Do I have to be a mother to get a Mommy Makeover?

Despite its name, the Mommy Makeover is not just for mothers. This procedure can be performed on any woman or even any man who desires correction of multiple body issues at once.

What is the benefit of combining your treatments into a Mommy Makeover rather than doing each procedure one at a time?

There are multiple benefits to combining your procedures into one as a Mommy Makeover:

Overall less expensive than multiple surgeries
Far easier recovery overall than multiple surgical procedures
Shorter surgical timeline altogether
Less time off work overall
Your full results come sooner

Are the results permanent?

The results of your Mommy Makeover are designed to be long lasting. However, their longevity largely depends on the choices that you make. Women who become pregnant or gain a lot of weight after their Mommy Makeover will likely compromise their results. The natural aging process can also affect how long the results last. You will be able to maintain your results the best with a healthy lifestyle and avoiding future pregnancies.
