Mommy Makeover

At Prof Chrysis Sofianos Plastic Surgery Johannesburg, we offer Mommy Makeover procedures designed to help women reclaim their confidence and enhance their post-pregnancy bodies. Whether it’s addressing stubborn fat, sagging skin, or breast changes, our customised Mommy Makeover plans combine multiple procedures to achieve stunning, natural-looking results tailored to your unique needs.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a personalised combination of cosmetic procedures aimed at reversing the physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Despite the name, this transformative set of procedures is suitable for any adult woman, regardless of age, who desires a more sculpted and youthful appearance. It’s called a Mommy Makeover because it focuses on areas of the body most commonly affected by motherhood, including the breasts, abdomen, and thighs.

Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover typically combines two or more of the following procedures to address specific concerns:

Breast Surgery

  • Breast Augmentation: Restores lost volume with implants or fat transfer.
  • Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Elevates sagging breasts for a youthful contour.
  • Breast Reduction: Reduces overly large breasts to alleviate discomfort and improve proportions.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles to create a firmer, flatter stomach. This is particularly effective for addressing diastasis recti, a common post-pregnancy condition where abdominal muscles separate.

Liposuction

Targets stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, sculpting areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms for a slimmer silhouette.

Fat Transfer

Enhances volume in specific areas, such as the breasts or buttocks, by using your body’s own fat for a natural-looking contour.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Addresses changes in the vaginal area caused by childbirth, including laxity or discomfort, to improve both function and aesthetics.

Arm and Thigh Lifts

Remove excess skin and reshape the arms or thighs for a toned, contoured appearance.

Why Consider a Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can result in:

  • Sagging or deflated breasts.
  • Stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, hips, or thighs.
  • Excess skin and stretch marks.
  • Weakened abdominal muscles.

A Mommy Makeover is designed to target these concerns, restoring a youthful, proportionate, and confident look.

Who Can Have a Mommy Makeover?

Despite its name, a Mommy Makeover isn’t just for moms – it’s suitable for any adult woman looking to improve her body contours. Candidates should:

  • Be in good overall health.
  • Have realistic expectations for the results.
  • Be at or near their ideal weight.
  • Have no plans for future pregnancies, as this can impact the results.

Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, a Mommy Makeover can be a transformative option for reclaiming your body and confidence.
