Reflections at St. Luke's: Mommy Makeovers

A combination of a tummy tuck and breast lift with or without implants, the growing popularity of Mommy Makeovers is at an all-time high. Post-baby plastic surgery gets Mom ready for bathing suit pool parties while also boosting self-confidence and sex-life satisfaction according to a RealSelf.com survey.

 Why get a Mommy Makeover? To put it simply, a mommy makeover combines a tummy tuck with breast enhancement to restore a woman's youthful figure after childbirth.

 “Due to the weight fluctuations that come with pregnancy, it's common for mothers to experience some deflation in the breast tissue as well as some drop in the nipple (a condition known as ptosis),” says Dr. Nicolas Villanustre, Reflections at St. Luke’s board-certified plastic surgeon.

 Adds Dr. Villanustre: “These conditions can be surgically corrected through a breast lift and/or breast augmentation. The two procedures can be combined in select cases when breast volume and elevation have both decreased.”

In addition to changes in the breasts, a new mother may have some loose skin and residual fat around the waistline. To correct these problems, Reflections’ plastic surgeon Dr. Nicolas Villanustre performs a tummy tuck to flatten the tummy and create a more sinuous shape in the midsection.

 As with every procedure, Dr. Villanustre takes a customized approach to each Mommy Makeover. “You can't simply pick two or three procedures from a menu and get the results you desire. That’s why I spend time listening to my patient’s desired outcomes and concerns,” says Dr. Villanustre. “Each patient's body has changed in different ways, so a thorough discussion and exam is conducted.”
