Mommy Makeover
The breasts and abdomen are often the focus of a mommy makeover. However, Dr. Beale will include any necessary procedure to address your needs. Some common areas addressed beside the breasts and abdomen are fat deposits or a prominent C-section scar. Dr. Beale will work with you to understand exactly what has changed about your body that you would like to reverse, and how you would like to enhance your physique to feel rejuvenated and confident with your figure as a mother.

Because Every Detail Matters
If you’re unhappy with your appearance or body after having children, and you would like to restore and rejuvenate your figure, you may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover. Candidates should meet the following general requirements:
- In good medical health
- At or near your ideal body weight
- Finished with childbearing and plan no more children
- Non-smoker
- Realistic expectations for what this procedure can do for you
- Want to address breast deflation, tummy laxity or skin changes after pregnancy
Unfortunately, for many women, simply exercising and eating right will not restore the body to its pre-pregnancy appearance. While a healthy lifestyle can help in achieving desired results and aid with recovery, diet and exercise alone cannot correct sagging breasts or skin or diastasis (separation of abdominal muscles). For these reasons, many women opt for a mommy makeover. Dr. Beale is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has honed his exceptional skills in cosmetic surgery for years.
Mothers can choose among a wide list of procedures offered by Dr. Beale. Depending upon your expectations, you will be guided by a team of highly skilled experts along with Dr. Beale when choosing the best services that fit your needs. Commonly, breast surgery (mastopexy, augmentation or combination), abdominoplasty (regular or mini), and liposuction. C-section scar revision can be performed to improve its appearance.
Most often, more than one procedure is done during the same surgical session during your mommy makeover. This prevents you from undergoing anesthesia more than necessary and can also reduce the amount of time you spend in recovery. It will also be more cost effective than having the procedures individualized.
What to Expect From a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Beale
Dr. Beale frequently tells moms, “You make a lot of sacrifices for your kids, but your body doesn’t have to be one of them.” Undergoing a mommy makeover can be a restorative process for mothers. Pregnancy and breastfeeding take a toll on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, breasts, hips, flanks and thighs. Dr. Beale will address your individual concerns with great care, attention and sensitivity, as he has for hundreds of moms who have entrusted him with their care in restoring (and even improving!) their pre-baby bodies.
