Dr. Prysi's practice provided me with the best possible care, preparation and follow-up of any doctor I have every had a procedure or surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Prysi.”

“Dr. Prysi performed extensive work on me ten years ago. The results were remarkable and long-lasting to the extent that I did not even consider going to anyone else all these years later.”

“The doctor and staff were wonderful and very thorough. I felt very comfortable and confident in Dr. Prysi. The results were just as I wanted. I would highly recommend him.”

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a customizable procedure to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body and confidence. Several procedures are performed during the same appointment to provide a comprehensive full-body rejuvenation. This type of procedure can be personalized based on your specific areas of concern or lifestyle, and a board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Prysi, can help you achieve your ideal body goals after an initial consultation.

Am I A Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Candidates for a mommy makeover are individuals in the Fort Myers area who are dissatisfied with certain aspects of their bodies after childbirth. This might include breast volume loss, breast sag, loose skin in the abdominal, upper arms, or thighs, or pockets of stubborn fat. To be considered for a mommy makeover, candidates should be done having children. They should also be in good health to ensure a successful procedure and recovery. Those in the Fort Myers area interested in a mommy makeover should consult with Dr. Prysi to determine if they are a suitable candidate.

Is a Mommy Makeover Right for Me?

If you are feeling frustrated by lasting changes to your body after pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, a mommy makeover may be the right solution. This comprehensive procedure is ideal for women in the Fort Myers area who wish to address multiple concerns in a single surgical session. If you are in good health, done having children, and ready to feel more confident in your body, Dr. Prysi can help you determine if a mommy makeover is right for you during a personal consultation.

Types of Mommy Makeovers

Each mommy makeover treatment plan is unique and tailored to the specific areas of your body that you want to improve.  A mommy makeover might include a combination of the following:

  • Breast surgery – to enhance, reduce, or lift your breasts.
  • Abdominoplasty – to tighten and tone your midsection and remove excess saggy skin.
  • Liposuction – to reduce localized fat deposits on your back, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, or knees.

What Can Be Combined with a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is designed to be personalized to your needs, combining procedures that target your specific areas of concern. Dr. Prysi will create a tailored plan that may include breast surgery, body contouring, or both. The goal is to restore your body in a way that aligns with your lifestyle, goals, and anatomy.

Mommy Makeover with Breast Augmentation

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to a loss of breast volume and fullness. Breast augmentation uses implants to restore or enhance the shape and size of the breasts, helping you achieve a more youthful and proportionate appearance. This option is ideal for women who want to regain breast fullness or increase breast size as part of their mommy makeover.

Mommy Makeover with Breast Lift

A breast lift, or mastopexy, can reposition sagging breasts and restore a more elevated, natural contour. This is beneficial for women whose breasts have stretched or drooped after pregnancy or nursing. A breast lift can be performed alone or combined with implants for added volume and firmness.

Mommy Makeover with Breast Reduction

If you have developed larger, heavier breasts after pregnancy and want relief from discomfort or aesthetic imbalance, breast reduction may be an ideal choice for you. This procedure removes excess breast tissue and repositions the breasts to a more lifted shape. It is a popular option for women seeking both cosmetic and functional improvements.

Mommy Makeover and Tummy Tuck

One of the most common components of a mommy makeover is a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty. This procedure tightens weakened abdominal muscles and removes loose skin for a firmer, flatter midsection. It is beneficial for addressing changes that cannot be improved through diet or exercise alone.

Mommy Makeover and Liposuction

Liposuction is often included in a mommy makeover to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back. It is an effective way to refine your body contours and enhance the results of other procedures. Dr. Prysi will utilize precise techniques to sculpt your body, helping you achieve a more defined silhouette.

Before Your Mommy Makeover Procedure

The first step in a mommy makeover procedure is to schedule a consultation to discuss patient concerns, goals, and expectations, and to give the plastic surgeon an opportunity to examine the target areas. Those in the Fort Myers area can contact Prysi Cosmetic Surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Prysi.

During Your Mommy Makeover Procedure

Each patient’s mommy makeover in Fort Myers will be unique to target their specific concerns. If breast volume loss is an issue, the breasts can be restored with an augmentation using implants. A breast lift can be added to an augmentation or done alone to lift the breasts to their natural position. Those who experience loose skin and weakened abdominal tissue after pregnancy might benefit from a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and lift the tissue to create a contoured abdominal area. Liposuction is often added to remove stubborn fat and optimize contour.

After Your Mommy Makeover Procedure

Recovery from a mommy makeover will depend on the specific procedures performed. Dr. Prysi will review recovery during the consultation and provide any necessary post-operative care instructions. Total recovery time from a mommy makeover in Fort Myers is shorter than it would be if all procedures were done at separate times.

One of the important things to remember about mommy makeover recovery is that you will need to rest as much as possible after your surgery. You cannot bend, strain, or lift anything, including your children, for several weeks. Dr. Prysi and his team recommend recruiting another adult to help you with child care and other tasks around the house as you recover from surgery.

Mommy makeover recovery varies from patient to patient, but typically takes several weeks to complete. Dr. Prysi will schedule several follow-up appointments to check your healing progress and clear you to return to work, exercise, and your regular routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Mommy Makeovers dangerous?

Mommy makeovers are generally safe so long as the patient does not have underlying health concerns and follows their plastic surgeons advice through the recovery process. During your consultation, you should share your medical history with your plastic surgeon to prevent any complications.

How many plastic surgeries can be done at once?

It is generally recommended to limit plastic surgeries to two to three procedures at one time.

Can a tummy tuck be considered medically necessary?

A majority of tummy tucks are considered cosmetic. However, in rare cases, the surgery may be considered medically necessary. This applies to patients who experience significant symptoms from diastasis recti, hernias, or back pain.

Do you lose weight after a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is not intended to be a weight loss procedure. However, patients may lose some weight during the procedure due to the removal of excess skin or fat during liposuction.

How long does it take to recover from a mommy makeover?

Mommy makeover recovery can range from about one to four weeks. This depends on the specific procedures you include in your mommy makeover and other factors. During a consultation, Dr. Prysi can explain what you can expect.
