Mommy Makeover

Following pregnancy, many body changes occur that alter the appearance of the breasts and abdomen. As a consequence of hormonal changes, weight fluctuation, and breast feeding, there is a loss of breast volume and the breasts drop from their pre-pregnancy position. The abdominal muscles weaken and separate, and there is often excess skin with striae (stretch marks). In spite of sound nutrition and exercise, these body changes persist. Over the past several years, many women have chosen to have a breast augmentation or lift concurrent with an abdominoplasty, and this procedure is now widely known as a "Mommy Makeover".
