Mommy Makeover in PA


What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can take a permanent toll on a mother’s body. Stretch marks, loose abdominal skin, deflated breasts, and stubborn fat are just a few of the major changes that can develop. While diet and exercise can help, they may not be able to restore a pre-baby body. Nonetheless, restoring your pre-baby body is possible with a Mommy Makeover. The Mommy Makeover is a customizable collection of procedures that can help you get your body back.


The Benefits of a Mommy Makeover Procedure

  • Restoration of youthful, perky breasts
  • Elimination of stubborn fat
  • Improvements in overall body shape
  • Boost in self-confidence

Achieved With a Mommy Makeover Procedure

Flat, Toned Tummy

The abdominal skin and muscles that stretch and shift during pregnancy do not simply “bounce back” to their former state after your child is born. Abdominal muscles may remain disengaged, and the skin of the abdomen may become stretched, saggy, and covered with stretch marks. The Mommy Makeover can include a tummy tuck to tighten the stomach muscles, get rid of stretched skin and excess fat, and create a flat, toned tummy.

Mommy Makeover Procedure Options

The Mommy Makeover can be custom-designed for each patient’s needs to help women achieve their desired look. During your personal consultation, Dr. Schlechter will educate you on all your options and help you determine which procedures should be included in your Mommy Makeover to match your goals, your preferences, your body type, and your lifestyle. Most often, the Mommy Makeover will include a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift surgery, and/or breast augmentation.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

How do I know which procedures to include in my Mommy Makeover?

Since the Mommy Makeover can be completely customized, you can choose which procedures will be best for you. Many women who desire a Mommy Makeover have already identified their areas of concern, which helps them choose which procedures they need. If you would like to improve your body shape, but are not sure which procedures you need, Dr. Schlechter can help you determine which combination of procedures will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

What are the advantages of getting a Mommy Makeover instead of doing each procedure separately?

There are several advantages of getting a Mommy Makeover instead of doing each procedure separately. First, while it may be more expensive initially, combining the procedures will be less expensive overall because you will not have to pay for surgical fees, anesthesia, etc. for multiple procedures. We offer financing options to make the initial cost more affordable for you. Second, you will only have to go through recovery once. Third, you will not have to wait for each procedure to be performed until you can enjoy your complete results. The Mommy Makeover performs the procedures all together so that you can appreciate your new body and newfound confidence all at once. Dr. Schlechter will determine the number of procedures that can safely be performed at one time.

What kind of anesthesia is used for a Mommy Makeover?

Patients may undergo IV sedation or general anesthesia for the Mommy Makeover procedure.

When should I get a Mommy Makeover?

Patients should prepare carefully before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. As there will be a lengthy recovery process, childcare should be prearranged as well as assistance for you during recovery. You must be free of serious illnesses and should inform Dr. Schlechter of any health conditions you have and medications you are taking. You should also wait at least six months after childbirth to undergo a Mommy Makeover so that your body can recover from the previous ordeal. Because future pregnancies and nursing will likely compromise the results, it is best to wait to undergo your Mommy Makeover until you have finished having children.

What should I expect during recovery after my Mommy Makeover?

After your Mommy Makeover, the treated areas may be bandaged or wrapped. You may be provided with compression garments to minimize swelling and shape your body during the healing process. Discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common during the first few weeks. Oral pain medications can alleviate discomfort, and swelling and bruising will subside within two to six weeks. You should plan to take one to two weeks off of work and avoid strenuous exercise for about six weeks after your procedure.

How long will my results last?

The results of a Mommy Makeover procedure are designed to be long lasting. While some amount of breast sagging will occur over time, breast implants are long-lasting devices that can enhance your body shape for many years. Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery permanently remove fat from the body. To maintain your newly improved figure, adopt a healthy lifestyle and avoid future pregnancies and weight gain.

What is the cost of a Mommy Makeover?

The cost of your Mommy Makeover will depend on your specific anatomy and surgery. Please see our Plastic Surgery Procedure Pricing Guide for more information.
