Mommy Makeover in Portland & Lake Oswego
There are many changes that follow childbirth, one of them being our bodies. Mommy makeovers can help to restore your pre-pregnancy body by addressing areas such as the abdomen, breast, and arms. There are a handful of procedures that can be combined for a total mommy makeover like tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, and even brachioplasty.
Am I A Candidate For Mommy Makeovers?
Ideal candidates for the mommy makeover procedure are mothers who experience sagging skin, uneven breasts, stretch marks, or excess fat in the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Candidates should be in overall good health, non-smokers, and we recommend that they are done having children.
The mommy makeover procedure is typically performed on patients with BMIs of 30 or lower. Maintaining a stable weight is important for this procedure, as gaining or losing a large amount of weight, similar to getting pregnant, will alter the appearance of your results. Patients who are overweight may not be eligible for this procedure until they reach a weight they can maintain. Pre-existing health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or any condition that contributes to blood thinning may disqualify a patient from becoming a mommy makeover candidate.

What Procedures Are Included In A Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover typically includes a combination of procedures designed to restore and enhance your body after pregnancy and childbirth. Common procedures in a Mommy Makeover can include:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin to create a flatter, firmer abdomen.
- Breast Augmentation: Enhances breast volume with implants or fat transfer.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.
- Breast Reduction: Reduces the size of the breasts for a more proportionate figure.
- Liposuction: Removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, or flanks.
- Brachioplasty (Arm Lift): Removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms for a more toned appearance.
- Body Contouring: Further sculpts areas like the waist, thighs, or arms to enhance overall body shape.
These procedures can be customized based on your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
What If I Plan On Having More Kids?
These mommy makeover procedures are often performed several months after giving birth and after you have stopped breastfeeding. If you plan on becoming pregnant in the future, it may be best to delay these procedures until after that pregnancy. This will ensure that the slimming and toning effect of your mommy makeover is maintained.
