What the Heck Is a Mommy Makeover…and Why Would a Woman Want One?!?! Cosmetic surgery isn’t the first thing on a mommy-to-be’s mind! Having a baby and becoming a parent is one of the most memorable, exciting and selfless times in the life of a woman. But pregnancy can take a toll on a body. After the baby is born, a woman’s once high and plump breasts droop down, especially after breast feeding. The baby bump becomes a sagging piece of skin that diet and exercise cannot firm and flatten; and even the legs, arms or trunk of the body can develop flaccid skin…unless you get a Mommy Makeover! A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that restore your before-pregnancy appearance, typically focusing on the breasts and abdomen. A typical makeover may include complementary plastic surgery procedures including a tummy tuck; a breast procedure such as an augmentation, lift or reduction; and liposuction of the legs, arms or trunk. The Mommy Makeover can also include labiaplasty. After childbirth, the labia minora (the inner lips) can sometimes tear or stretch slightly, but the tissue is elastic and generally remains intact. In some cases, the labia minora may just appear stretched. If the outer lips retract, they might make the inner lips look bigger, or expose them for the first time. Post-baby changes to your labia — if any — are typically minor, and there’s a good chance they’ll go unnoticed by you and your partner. But if they do not retract, labiaplasty is designed to "aesthetically modify" the labia so the inner lips (labia minora) do not protrude past the outer lips (labia majora). The procedure can be performed with or without clitoral hood reduction (hoodectomy). This procedure also can reduce the labia majora by removing excess fatty tissue to improve comfort and to provide a more youthful look.
