Many women considering mommy makeover procedures are concerned about pregnancy safety after the process.

Call today to learn more about your options for achieving your post-birth goals.
A mommy makeover combines body contouring procedures like tummy tucks, breast augmentation, and liposuction after pregnancy and birth. If you are considering a mommy makeover procedure, it is best to wait until your weight is stable post-pregnancy. Knowing what surgeries you want can help you prepare for the procedure. While a mommy makeover can help you feel like yourself again, it is important to ensure you are in good psychological health before surgery. The surgeons at Galardi | Bowen can help you decide the best path to your desired post-baby body.
Pregnancy after a mommy makeover is generally safe because the procedure does not affect the general health and wellness of a mother and baby. Tummy tucks and liposuctions do not interfere with your ability to conceive. Your surgeon can discuss breast enhancement options that will not affect your ability to breastfeed in future pregnancies.
Although it is safe to have another baby after a mommy makeover, a pregnancy can reverse a procedure’s results. For example, breast tissue and skin elasticity could change during and after pregnancy and nursing, affecting the size, shape, and position of breasts. A pregnancy after a mommy makeover may stretch out the abdomen and separate the muscles repaired during a tummy tuck. If a pregnancy causes negative results, the plastic surgeons at Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery can perform additional treatments to retighten the abdomen and reshape and re-lift the breasts after pregnancy.
You can have a mommy makeover procedure at your own preferred time. However, plastic surgeons recommend you postpone the procedure until you are finished having children. This way, you can have the procedure done once and enjoy the results for many years.
