Having a baby is an exciting time, even if pregnancy and nursing take a toll on the body. These changes can make moms insecure and self conscious. At Accent Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we can help you regain your pre-pregnancy body with a Mommy Makeover.

Tummy Tuck Tupelo

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures aimed at returning a mother’s figure to pre-childbearing glory. Which procedures performed in the Mommy Makeover are specific to each patient. Skin laxity and fat pockets of the abdomen and flanks, and the toll nursing takes on the breasts are the most common concerns addressed. Having separate procedures to address these areas does not make practical sense for busy mothers. At Accent Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we customize your treatment plan to address all of your improvements at once for one recovery period. The most common procedures are a tummy tuck, which may include liposuction with BodyTite™, and a breast lift. A breast augmentation with implants, or a breast reduction may also be beneficial.

The tummy tuck addresses loose skin that has not bounced back from the stretch of a pregnant belly. It also tightens weakened muscles that have separated from the abdominal wall creating a more firm foundation for a slim abdomen.

Liposuction with BodyTite™ is radio frequency (RF) assisted liposuction to remove fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. A tiny cannula delivers controlled RF thermal energy directly to the fatty tissues, further liquefying them for removal and stimulating the skin cells to contract and tighten for a smoother stomach and better result.

A breast lift addresses the downward shift breasts can take, particularly after nursing. This procedure aims to restore the shape and placement of the breast. Dr. Mark Craig uses the latest surgical techniques to minimize downtime while maximizing results.

Mommy Makeover & Tummy Tuck Consultations Available

Am I a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates are mothers who have completed their family and have weaned their youngest from the breast more than 6 months prior to consultation. Patients who are generally healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations are the most pleased with their final results.

What is the Procedure and Recovery Like?

At Accent Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we do our utmost to make you comfortable the day of your procedure and afterward. Your treatment is thoroughly discussed, and detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up care are provided. For patients electing to include a tummy tuck as part of their Mommy Makeover should understand this is the most invasive procedure involved, and recovery may require several weeks. By having your procedures combined into one rejuvenation plan, you will only experience one recovery period. You will be able to resume most normal activities within a few weeks, though it varies by patient. 

What Results Will I See?

Post-surgical swelling and bruising is common, but even taking these into consideration, you will see immediate shape improvements to your abdomen, flanks, and breasts. As the swelling decreases, your newly contoured shape becomes more visible. Your clothes will fit like they once did, and overall, you will have the silhouette you once had before having children.

Having children is a wonderful blessing, but it does come with significant life changes–not all of which have to be permanent. You can have your youthful, vibrant body back. Call us today to
