MOMMY MAKEOVER – FLEMING ISLAND, FL*

Motherhood is a wonderful experience, but pregnancy can often wear on a woman’s body. Stretched skin, deflated and droopy breasts, and pockets of unwanted fat can make a woman look and feel older. Fortunately, Fleming Island plastic surgeon, Dr. William Wallace, works with women to transform their body back to its youthful appearance through a procedure called the mommy makeover. The surgery utilizes several different techniques to remove and reduce fat, and trim away excess skin to lift and tighten the problem areas. Each mommy makeover procedure can be customized to include a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation and/or breast lift and even vaginal rejuvenation and/or a labiaplasty. However, the primary focus for this procedure is usually on the breasts and abdomen to correct the physical effects of childbearing. All of these options will be presented to you and explained in detail based on your desires and expectations.

The mommy makeover procedure is uniquely tailored to each patient, depending on what body part they want to improve. In most cases, the breasts and tummy are addressed together (though not always). The conditions addressed during surgery and the surgical technique used will vary and will be discussed in detail at the time of your consultation.

All mommy makeovers are performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Depending on how many techniques are combined, the surgery time could vary. It is common for patients to have a short hospital stay with this surgery, but not always. Most women will require a full month to recover, but many will be able to return to work within 2 weeks. The results will reveal themselves in multiple stages as the breast implants settle into their natural placement and the incisions begin to heal. It generally takes a full year for all of the changes to make their final appearance.  

The price for abdominoplasty will vary depending on the technique used, the patient’s condition and aesthetic goals, as well as other factors relating to the surgical case. However, on average, most patients can expect to pay between $7,000-$12,500 for their tummy tuck procedure.
