How Pregnancy Changes a Woman’s Body


Pregnancy affects each woman differently. The following can all play a role:

  • Age
  • Genetics
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Luck


We all can think of a Mom whose body bounced back quickly after pregnancy – this is not the norm!












Most women have PERMANENT CHANGES following pregnancy, including:

  • Stretch marks
  • Breast deflation, drooping
  • Excess abdominal skin and fat
  • Loss of abdominal muscle tone



WHY a “Mommy Makeover”???


How a mother feels about herself as a mother and a woman is integral to her self image and self esteem. For a mom to want to take care of herself and feel youthful, sexy and confident is NOT self-centered or vain!






“Mommy Makeover” plastic surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at making a mother’s breasts and body look the way before she had children… or perhaps even better than when she started!










Procedures usually include some or a combination of the following:

  • Breasts - Lift, Augmentation or Reduction

  • Tummy - Tuck (Abdominoplasty), “Mini”-Abdominoplasty
  • Body - Liposuction

each of these procedures.
