Mommy Makeover

Conveniently located to serve Ocean County and Toms River

Mommy MakeoverBoard-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Small can perform a mommy makeover for women in Ocean County who are unable to restore their pre-pregnancy shape through diet and exercise. Having a baby is a truly wonderful experience, but when breastfeeding is over, a woman’s body often looks quite different than it did before the pregnancy.

Luckily, this procedure is an excellent way to reverse these effects, to help patients achieve a more youthful, tighter physique. Dr. Small has helped many women look better through a Mommy Makeover, which is not just one procedure but a set of surgeries and possibly non-surgical procedures that are tailor-made for each woman. For this reason, it could take as long as a year to complete the makeover, depending on the number of procedures you wish to have.

Of course, a Mommy Makeover should be postponed until your last pregnancy and period of breastfeeding is done. If you embark on it beforehand, some of the benefits could be lost.

The Mommy Makeover Procedures

The most common Mommy Makeover procedures include:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty). In a tummy tuck, Dr. Small removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area for a flatter tummy, and he often tightens abdominal muscles that have stretched during pregnancy.

Breast Lift. Breastfeeding can take a toll on breast tissue, causing the breasts to sag. A breast lift returns them to their higher placement on the chest.

Breast Augmentation. (with or without a breast lift). Some women decide to increase the size of their breasts with breast implants as part of their Mommy Makeover. Implants can also be inserted along with a breast lift to make the breasts both larger and perkier.

Breast Reduction. For some women, excessively large breasts cause a great deal of back, shoulder, and neck pain. This is the one procedure during a Mommy Makeover that might be covered by insurance, but you must check with your particular carrier.

Recovering from a Mommy Makeover

Recovery from a Mommy Makeover depends very much on your particular case. Essentially, you will have a recovery period for each procedure that is specific to that surgery. In some cases, surgeries can be performed at the same time, which cuts down on the number of recovery periods you need. It can even reduce the number of incisions, but this is a discussion for you to have with Dr. Small, as no two people are the same.

Dr. Small strives to make your liposuction procedure as minimally invasive as he can while also providing you with the results you want.

Friendly, professional office staff. Everyone involved in this practice is great. Dr. Small is a highly skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner who makes you feel comfortable and always spends sufficient time with you during office visits to have your questions answered. Highly recommend them!

Complementary Procedures with a Mommy Makeover

While Mommy Makeover procedures usually focus on the body, many women opt to have facial plastic surgery or non-surgical procedures at the same time for an overall makeover. These procedures include facelift, liquid facelift (non-surgical), eyelid lift, brow lift, lip augmentation, chin augmentation, and rhinoplasty.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?

The price of a mommy makeover depends on the combination of procedures needed to achieve your desired outcome. Once Dr. Small has determined the best treatment approach for you, he will review the details of your surgery and the associated costs with you.
