Achieve a more youthful figure with a Mommy Makeover procedure at Maine Plastic Surgery

Pregnancy and motherhood are life-changing experiences that bring women incredible joy. Unfortunately, they can also create changes in the body that are unwanted. Dr. Gardenier and the team at Maine Plastic Surgery carry out customized Mommy Makeover procedures in Portland, Maine to help their patients achieve their ideal look. 

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized and all-inclusive cosmetic procedure designed to restore a mother's body to its pre-pregnancy state. When performed by a skilled practitioner, like the team at Maine Plastic Surgery, this procedure can even provide patients with results that are far better than where they were before. 

The procedure typically involves a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments that address issues such as sagging breasts, excess abdominal fat, stretched abdominal muscles, and stubborn pockets of fat. The goal is to rejuvenate a woman's appearance and boost her self-esteem, allowing her to embrace her post-pregnancy body with newfound confidence.

A Mommy Makeover is typically performed in one surgical session under general anesthesia. The specific procedures are carried out in accordance with the treatment plan.

The recovery process

The recovery experience after a Mommy Makeover is unique to each patient and depends on the procedures performed. However, some common aspects include:

  • Post-operative care: Patients will receive detailed instructions on how to care for surgical sites, manage discomfort, and any potential side effects.
  • Temporary restrictions: Physical activities should be kept at a minimum for several weeks, including strenuous exercise.
