Having Children
Naturally, pregnancy is such a beautiful time for a woman. Bringing your precious bundle of life and joy into the world is one of the most life-changing experiences. At the same time, the physical toll it takes on her body is especially taxing. While some are able to bounce back to their pre-preganancy look, others are left with changes that cannot be reversed through diet and exercise. Otherwise confident about themselves and the way they look before having kids, some women feel embarrassed and self-conscious afterwards. Pregnancy's effects, stretch marks, fat deposits, and a weakening of the abdominal wall, can adversely affect the self-image of some women.
The Mommy Makeover
At Southern Surgical Arts, The Mommy Makeover is a combination of several procedures designed to restore the look of a woman's body to what she had before pregnancy. The procedures commonly combined include a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with lift (if necessary) and SmartLipo-laser body sculpting. The first and simplest way to address loose skin after pregnancy is through a tummy tuck. In addition to removing the skin and stretch marks during the abdominoplasty, the surgeon may tighten, if necessary, the abdominal muscles if they have been weakened by your pregnancy. Using FDA-approved implants, a breast augmentation restores fullness and perkiness to your breasts. Another increasingly requested procedure among moms today is the labiaplasty, for moms who have stretched, enlarged, or asymmetrical labia due to childbirth. Consult with our physician to see if this procedure is right for you.
Who is a Good Candidate?
- Moms up to age 65
- Non-smoker
- Generally in good health
- Desires aesthetic enhancement of the breast and abdomen, flank and thighs, and/or labia
- Desires a restoring of her figure to pre-pregnancy days
How Much Does it Cost?
Although the total, final cost will depend on factors and your particular goals, the Mommy Makeover at Southern Surgical Arts has typically averaged between $12,000 and $16,000. Our total cost covers the procedure, anesthesia, materials/supplies used, and all routine follow-up visits (lab work and medications are excluded). There are no hidden fees or hidden costs.
