Mommy Makeover in Nashville
While pregnancy can be a beautiful and wondrous experience, many women long for the body they had before they became a mom. What a makeover can do for your hairstyle or cosmetics regime, a Mommy Makeover at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute can do for your body: make you look and feel fantastic.
A Mommy Makeover at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute can include one or more body-contouring procedures, customized to the patient depending on her needs. It may involve 1) increasing, reducing, or lifting the breasts, 2) tightening lax skin and repairing separated muscles in the abdomen, and 3) removing stubborn pockets of excess fat cells.
The joys of having children and building a family are immeasurably valuable. But the toll childbearing can take on a woman’s body is significant. Mothers who have given birth to multiple children and have breastfed each of them are highly likely to be physically altered from childrearing. Even women who exercise and implement a balanced diet will experience lasting major bodily changes. This is where the Mommy Makeover comes in.
Over time, a woman’s breasts begin to lose volume and start to sag, giving them a deflated quality. In addition, loose skin, a belly bulge, and stretch marks are commonplace among mothers. These characteristics cannot be corrected by exercise or dieting. Even the belly bulge is often the result of a separation of the abdominal walls. This results from the stretching of the stomach during pregnancy. The abdominal muscles can only be rejoined surgically.

A Mommy Makeover—sometimes referred to as a “mom body makeover,” “mommy surgery,” “mommy breast surgery,” or “mommy tuck“—is designed to address a wide array of facial and/or body-contouring needs associated with pregnancy and age by combining multiple surgical techniques. These include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, vaginal rejuvenation, BOTOX®, and other desired procedures.

These procedures are combined to complement one another to provide the most thorough total-body rejuvenation possible in one surgery. The Mommy Makeover combination procedure is tailored to address the needs of the individual patient to help restore their youthful appearance, rejuvenate the skin, and redefine their body’s contours.
During your initial consultation, you can expect an examination and a full assessment by Dr. Unger to marry the desires of the patient with the proper combination of procedure techniques. This is also the time when any questions or concerns can be discussed in detail. Dr. Unger will also show you before and after photographs of past work to give you a better understanding of what to expect. Working with a thorough, experienced, and highly trained plastic surgeon is important, as simply going with the first result when searching “Mommy Makeover near me” will not necessarily partner you with the ideal plastic surgeon for your specific needs.
The combinations of techniques are nearly endless. Because of this, the duration and overall plan for the surgery will vary. Patients should expect general anesthesia to be a part of the surgery, which means the patient is not awake during the procedure.
What would a “full” Mommy Makeover include? Typically, patients interested in total body contouring choose tummy tuck, liposuction, and a form of breast surgery.
During the tummy tuck, excess skin will be removed and the abdominal walls will be rejoined back together as needed. From there, the remaining skin around the midsection is tightened. Most of the stretch marks will be removed in this process as well. Liposuction is used throughout the body where needed.
Many women also opt to have either a breast lift or a breast augmentation with implants. In some cases, women go with both the lift and the implants.
Keep in mind that the best time to have a Mommy Makeover is at least four to six months after the birth of your last child and only when you have decided not to have any more children. Those planning to have more children should wait until afterward to consider this procedure, since pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can alter the results of the procedure.
