Mommy Makeover

Mommy Makeover In Miami

Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it can take a toll on a woman’s body. At Dr. Gallagher’s practice in Miami, we understand the importance of self-care for mothers. That’s why we offer the Mommy Makeover, a personalized set of cosmetic procedures to help reverse any unwanted physical changes that can occur during and after pregnancy.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A “mommy makeover” refers to a combination of procedures performed in a single session to address multiple concerns while reducing overall recovery time. This is typically done for women who are finished having children and need a helping hand getting their bodies back to normal after significant changes. This can include liposuction, tummy tucks, breast augmentations, and many more procedures; it’s a highly versatile procedure that allows patients to customize their results and feel comfortable in their bodies again.

What Does a Mommy Makeover Address?

Dr. Gallagher works closely with each patient to determine her unique concerns and goals for her body. Common issues addressed by the Mommy Makeover include stretch marks and sagging skin in the lower abdomen, as well as breast sagging and deflation after breastfeeding. To address these concerns, Dr. Gallagher customizes a combination of procedures, which may include breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, and labiaplasty. With her expertise in genital surgeries, Dr. Gallagher can also offer procedures like vaginoplasty to help restore anatomy.

At our Miami practice, we understand that every patient is unique, and we offer a personalized approach to the Mommy Makeover. Recovery time varies depending on the procedures chosen, and breast procedures are typically recommended after six months post-breastfeeding.

  • If you’re struggling with lumps from excess fat deposits in the back, especially after significant weight fluctuations, back roll removal can help eliminate them, giving you a smoother, more contoured appearance.

  • Breastfeeding can have major effects on the breast after pregnancy. A breast augmentation keeps them full and is fully customized to a patient’s preference in size, shape, and feel.

  • When breasts begin to sag or feel less perky than they used to be, a breast lift remedies this by removing excess skin and tissue to lift them into a more youthful contour.

  • Breast reduction removes excess tissue and fat from the chest and is sometimes paired with a breast lift to maintain a perky appearance, especially after breastfeeding.

  • Childbirth and aging can sometimes cause the labia to stretch or elongate, or to feel uncomfortable in tight clothing. Labiaplasty reduces and reshapes the labia to achieve a more balanced appearance and enhanced comfort.

  • For stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise, liposuction offers a safe and effective solution. During a Mommy Makeover, liposuction is often used on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms to create smoother, more sculpted contours.

  • Pregnancy and weight changes can sometimes cause loose skin to form around the abdomen, hips, and buttocks. A lower body lift removes excess skin and tightens the area, resulting in a smoother, firmer silhouette.

  • Pregnancy often stretches the abdominal muscles and skin in ways that exercise alone cannot fix. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, tightens weakened abdominal muscles and removes excess skin to restore a flatter, firmer stomach.

  • Childbirth can sometimes weaken or loosen the vaginal muscles, leading to changes in sensation and function. Vaginal tightening helps restore tone and support to the vaginal canal, improving both comfort and confidence.

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?

The primary benefit of a mommy makeover is its ability to help women restore their bodies after the changes that pregnancy brings. A comment that almost all women make after having children is that they feel like their bodies are not their own anymore. This is due to weight changes, stretched skin, hormones, and changes in intimate areas. Not every woman experiences pregnancy in the same way, which is why this procedure is designed to be highly customizable. Women report feeling more confident in themselves, physically more comfortable, and emotionally relieved. The results of these procedures are long-lasting with proper care and can completely transform a woman’s appearance.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Mommy Makeover?

While the name may imply that a mommy makeover is specifically for mothers, in reality, anyone can undergo a mommy makeover. This is a great option for patients who have multiple concerns they would like to address simultaneously, as it can reduce costs and recovery time. It creates a more comprehensive transformation without the need for future procedures.

For mothers, however, we do recommend that you only seek out this treatment if you are no longer planning to have children. This is because the changes to the body during pregnancy can drastically alter the results from the procedure. The same applies to anyone experiencing weight fluctuations; ensure you have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months before undergoing this procedure.

If you are unsure whether a mommy makeover is right for you, schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Gallagher.

What’s the First Step?

Your Mommy Makeover Journey with Dr. Gallagher

With a procedure as customizable as a mommy makeover, the best first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gallagher either at her Miami office or virtually. This consultation begins with a conversation about your body, your goals, and any concerns you may have. From there, Dr. Gallagher will review your previous medical history and perform a thorough examination of your anatomy to recommend the best combination of procedures. This enables the development of a surgical plan that directly addresses your concerns and achieves your goals, tailored to your unique anatomy. You will have time to ask questions, understand any potential risks, review pricing and financing, and schedule your next appointment.

What to Expect on the Day of Mommy Makeover Surgery

On the day of your Mommy Makeover, you’ll arrive at our Miami practice and be warmly welcomed by our care team. After final check-ins and a review of your customized surgical plan, Dr. Gallagher will carefully mark the treatment areas and answer any last-minute questions to ensure you feel confident and comfortable. You’ll then be placed under anesthesia so that the procedures can be performed without discomfort. Depending on the combination of surgeries, your Mommy Makeover may take several hours to complete. Once finished, you’ll be monitored in recovery until you’re ready to head home the same day with a trusted friend or family member. Before leaving, our team will provide you with detailed post-surgical care instructions, medications to manage any discomfort, and guidance for the first few days of recovery.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Mommy Makeover Care

Recovery after a Mommy Makeover varies from patient to patient, depending on the specific procedures performed. In general, most women can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first one to two weeks, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and supportive garments. We encourage light walking right away to promote circulation, but strenuous activity and lifting should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Many patients feel ready to return to non-physical work within two weeks, though full healing continues over the following months. Dr. Gallagher provides personalized follow-up care to track your progress and ensure you’re healing as expected.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in Miami?

The cost of a Mommy Makeover in Miami truly depends on the kinds of procedures you are getting and the extent of them. You will also need to consider your surgeon’s skill set and experience, as well as facility fees, anesthesia, medications, and other related costs. The only way to accurately determine your payment amount is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gallagher. Once your surgical plan has been put in place, she can break down the cost with you so you understand exactly what to expect. Additionally, financing options are available if needed to make the procedure more accessible.

    I had an amazing experience with Dr.Gallagher and her team, the whole experience from the procedure (top surgery) to the post-op care has been fantastic. Dr.Gallagher was able to address any concerns I had with my chest before the procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole way through, and then the attentiveness post-op is all the better.

    Thank you so much Dr. Gallagher for your amazing work! I appreciated the great support from your team at the surgical centre and your office. Everyone was so wonderful! I am extremely happy with my results and had a very positive experience. I had followed Dr. Gallagher for several years on Instagram prior to my surgery, and learned so much from her detailed explanations about various aspects of the surgical procedures, what to expect on the day, recovery, etc. I had complete trust, felt safe, felt listened to. I also appreciate the follow-ups, and answers to all my questions. The support, warmth, care is top notch!

    Dr. Gallagher and her whole team, from Neasa to Daryl Ann and everyone else in between, are absolutely fantastic, kind hearted, hard working people. Dr. Gallagher truly amazed me and I’m so grateful to have had her on my team.

    I was able to get keyhole top surgery about three weeks ago and I’m loving my results already! I’m muscular and heavier set as well but always had a smaller chest, and I’m so glad Dr. Gallagher was the one who could do this for me.

    Right now I am still experiencing swelling, but I am using compression dressings every day, throughout the day which helps tons! I know that when the swelling subsides months from now, and everything is “back to normal”, I am going to love even more what I see in the mirror because I can finally see me.

    So glad I found Dr. Gallagher. I would not have elected to pursue my surgery had I not found a qualified and competent medical provider that I felt I could trust and have confidence in their ability to offer a high-quality, low-risk result. As a result of my initial contacts and consultations with Gallagher Plastic Surgery practice, I was willing to pursue my desired surgery and even travel half-way across the country to their offices. I’m so glad I did. The results are outstanding, more than I even anticipated. This was the 3rd practice I had dealt with and so I was learning what to look for and knew Dr. Gallagher was a good fit. The medical expertise and professionalism are what I based my decision on to proceed. They were calmly confident for a reason. I realized at the surgery event and through to the 3 week post-op checkin the excellence in their personal care (bed side manner). The office and Dr. Gallagher communicated very well. Everything went smoothly and as planned. As nervous as I was about an unnecessary surgery, Dr. Gallagher and her team were able to build enough trust that I was able to receive a very beneficial result.

    Dr. Gallagher and her team are the absolute best! She completed my brachioplasty on Tuesday and when I saw the initial results at my post op appointment two days later I literally had tears of joy streaming down my face. My weight loss journey has been a road of many ups and downs, and I was so nervous about whether this surgery could even work for me. Even with the swelling that is normal after brachioplasty, there is an enormous difference, and I am still in disbelief that even this early on, my arms look this great. My husband was even in disbelief, and we’re so excited to see what I’ll look like in two weeks time. Dr. Gallagher is so kind and patient, and walked me through all of the phases of healing/expectations, and was great to call and check in. If you are looking for a highly skilled surgeon that will give you optimal results along with a compassionate approach, it is well worth your time and money to consider a consultation with her. I am forever thankful for her and for her team! This is life changing for me. Thank you, Dr. Gallagher! I appreciate you so much!
