What is a Mommy Makeover?

Having children is incredible, but the way that giving birth alters our bodies can make us feel less like ourselves. It’s normal to notice sagging breasts, stubborn pockets of fat, loose skin, and other concerns when your body’s done the remarkable job of bringing new life into the world. By combining surgeries, we’re able to lift, tighten, and refresh your overall appearance with natural-looking results.
A mommy makeover combines a personally-tailored set of surgical procedures to address the unique aesthetic concerns that come from childbirth and breastfeeding. These surgeries aim to restore the body’s pre-pregnancy appearance, focusing on areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth. While the specific combination of procedures may vary, some of the most common elements of a Mommy Makeover include body lifts, breast lifts, and liposuction. 

By working with Dr. de Kleer, you’re choosing a surgeon who brings decades of experience to determine the safest and most effective combination of skilled procedures for each individual.

A tummy tuck tightens and lifts loose skin

If you’ve lost significant weight or recently had a child, your celebration might be dampened by the loose hanging skin that you now have as a result. A tummy tuck refers to a combination of surgical procedures to tighten and lift areas of loose skin and fat. This surgery is designed to target multiple areas at once, creating a more contoured and youthful appearance.

Restore an appealing breast shape with a breast lift

Gravity takes its toll on breasts in a significant way as we age; both for natural breasts and for those who have breast implants. Breasts naturally descend as our skin and breast tissue loses its elasticity and firmness. For many women, drooping breasts can negatively impact their body image. You may notice sagging, a deflated shape, or an overall loss in volume. Aside from natural aging, pregnancy, weight changes and breastfeeding can significantly impact breast appearance. A breast lift, or mastopexy, can help restore a more youthful breast contour to reposition the breasts higher on the chest.

How does a breast lift work?

During a breast lift, Dr. de Kleer expertly removes excess skin and the breast tissue is reshaped to raise and firm up the breast area. Implants can also be used to help reshape the breast. There are several incision patterns that may be used, depending on the degree of lift needed:

• Around the areola
• Around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease (also called a lollipop incision)
• Around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the crease (also called an anchor incision)

In some cases, breast implants may be used in conjunction with a lift to restore or increase volume. We often see women entering menopause or maturity who want smaller implants or an updated shape to match their lifestyle as they shift into a new life phase.

Liposuction addresses stubborn localized fat

Many women struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that just won’t budge, even with a healthy diet and exercise. Liposuction can be an effective solution to remove these localized fat deposits and achieve a more firm, contoured silhouette.

The liposuction procedure

Liposuction allows us to remove stubborn pockets of fat in the same way that a vacuum suctions away dust in hard-to-reach places. Liposuction is typically performed using a tumescent technique to minimize post-operative swelling, discomfort, and bruising. Dr. Nancy de Kleer and her team utilize the most innovative approaches and modern surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcome.

• Anaesthetic solution is injected into the treatment areas, resulting in easier access to the targeted fat compartments. 
• A small cannula (narrow tube) is placed under the skin and specific fat deposits are suctioned out. The cannula is inserted through tiny incisions to suction out the excess fat. 
• Advanced techniques allow for precise sculpting and contouring, resulting in smooth, natural-looking results.
