Mommy Makeover Chevy Chase, MD | Sheilah A. Lynch, MD | Maryland Board-Certified Body and Facial Plastic Surgeon

Understanding the Mommy Makeover Procedure

A Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive surgical approach designed to address the physical changes women experience after pregnancy and childbirth. This personalized procedure typically combines multiple treatments targeting the breasts and abdomen to restore pre-pregnancy body contours.

Breast Restoration Options

The breast component of a Mommy Makeover addresses several post-pregnancy transformations:

• Postpartum volume loss requiring breast implants
• Postpartum breast enlargement necessitating breast reduction
• Breast skin elasticity changes resulting in ptosis (sagging)

Abdominal Body Contouring

The abdominal aspect of the procedure focuses on resolving post-pregnancy physical changes:

• Excess fatty tissue resistant to diet and exercise
• Loose abdominal muscles
• Excess skin and stretch marks

Procedure Techniques in Chevy Chase, Maryland

Dr. Lynch offers several abdominoplasty approaches tailored to individual patient needs, including mini-abdominoplasty, standard abdominoplasty, and extended abdominoplasty. Each technique addresses specific body contouring requirements.

Surgical Approach

The Mommy Makeover is performed under general anesthesia, combining procedures like breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, and tummy tuck to achieve comprehensive body restoration.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery timelines vary depending on combined procedures. Patients can typically expect:

• Walking encouraged within 1-2 days post-surgery
• Light activities comfortable in 3-5 days
• Low-impact exercises permitted at 2 weeks
• Full recovery and high-impact activities around 4 weeks
