What is a mommy makeover?

Mommy Makeover at LIVION in Hamburg

A mommy makeover is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the physical changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth. The procedure can combine several different surgeries to tighten, smooth, and rejuvenate a woman's body. Typically, a mommy makeover includes a combination of breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. These individual procedures can be planned according to your wishes. At our practice in Hamburg, we take the time to advise you in detail during a non-binding consultation to discuss your options and clarify your expectations.

How is a mommy makeover performed?

A combination of different interventions

The combination of procedures depends on the patient's wishes and starting situation. Commonly chosen surgeries include:

Abdominoplasty

A tummy tuck can help improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat. A cesarean section scar and stretch marks can be addresed directly during the procedure. Additionally, overstretched abdominal muscles and the resulting abdominal wall weakness (diastasis recti) can be tightened, providing core stabilization and achieving a slimmer silhouette. The result is a beautiful, flat stomach.

Breast surgery

Breast augmentation and breast lift generally aimed at improving and restoring the appearance of the breasts, which may have changed due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. Breast augmentation can help restore the volume lost during pregnancy and make the breast appear fuller and firmer. To achieve this result, we use either modern silicone implants or autologous fat harvested from another area of your body where you would like to reduce fat. The procedure can be performed alone or in combination with breast augmentation or reduction. Some women also wish for a breast reduction after pregnancy to restore shape and contour.

Liposuction

With liposuction, we can remove excess fat cells from the abdomen, hips, or thighs to create a slimmer and smoother silhouette. The harvested fat can then be used for buttock augmentation or breast enhancement. Liposuction is also often performed in combination with an abdominoplasty.

Intimate surgery

Surgery in the intimate area requires a high level of trust between the patient and the plastic surgeon. Intimate surgery primarily addresses aesthetic concerns but can also correct scar tissue, for example after an episiotomy. Typical postpartum changes include a stretched vagina and sagging labia, which can cause discomfort and even chronic pain. A gentle surgical procedure can restore an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the female genital area.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

A Brazilian Butt Lift involves a fat transfer to the buttocks. First, fat is harvested through liposuction, which is then used to augment the buttocks. The harvested fat is cleaned and loaded into syringes for injection. Fat can be taken from areas such as the saddlebags, thighs, waist, or abdomen to also contour these regions.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts 5–7 hours. After surgery, patients stay in the clinic for 2 days.

What you should consider after the procedure

Aftercare of a Mommy Makeover

You will receive prescriptions for the necessary medications and instructions for post-operative care in advance as part of your treatment folder. Immediately after the procedure, a firm compression garment will be applied to stabilize the results and support wound healing. The compression garment should be worn for approximately 6–8 weeks to minimize the risk of fluid accumulation (seroma), bruising (hematoma), and wound healing complications. The compression therapy, and in the case of liposuction, lymphatic drainage, play a key role in achieving optimal results. You should refrain from physical activities for about 6 weeks. Proper scar care and follow-up examinations are essential. During these appointments, we will provide useful guidance, document the healing process, and review the results with you in detail.
