Mommy Makeover in Minneapolis-St. Paul

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures of the breast and abdominal areas, which address a woman’s post-pregnancy body issues. A Mommy Makeover is typically done in a single session, and usually includes the following procedures: Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, and Liposuction. The goal of the Mommy Makeover is to return a woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy shape or improve it all together. The result of a Mommy Makeover in Minneapolis-St. Paul is a tighter abdominal profile, voluminous breasts, and a more streamlined profile. The Mommy Makeover is best suited for women who are having trouble losing the last of their post-pregnancy pounds and have experienced a significant decrease in breast volume. Women who have experienced significant stretching of abdominal muscles or skin from multiple pregnancies may also benefit from this procedure.
