Mommy Makeover | Bethesda MD, Washington DC, Virginia

Although having your baby is one of the best things to happen in your life, it is not likely the best thing that has happened to your body. A mommy makeover can help give you back your pre-pregnancy body making you look and feel more youthful and beautiful.

During and after pregnancy, significant weight gain or loss and prolonged breastfeeding can cause significant changes in your abdomen, flanks, buttocks and breasts. A mommy makeover is simply an umbrella term used to describe the combination of procedures used to correct these problem areas. There is no set algorithm to a mommy makeover. During your consultation, Dr. Michaels will perform a comprehensive examination of the areas that concern you and tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs and goals.

Most women following pregnancy are concerned with the appearance of their abdomen and breasts. During pregnancy the abdominal wall muscles can be stretched causing separation and bulging of the lower abdomen. Localized fat deposits may also present. For these patients, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with or without liposuction may be necessary. Many women lose breast volume following pregnancy. A breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast lift with augmentation can help restore breast volume, tighten any loose skin, and elevate the position of your nipples and areola. In some patients, procedures to correct both the abdomen and breasts can be corrected at the same time. On the face, BOTOX® and facial fillers (Juvederm® & Restylane®) can be used to help reduce any lines and wrinkles.
