After an in-depth consultation with Dr. Mason, you will walk out feeling confident about your cosmetic goals. She will prescribe a surgery plan designed with your health, physical, and mental well-being in mind.

It is obvious that the tummy undergoes a lot of changes with pregnancy since it holds a whole new human! After the baby is born, you may find yourself with extra skin, a pooching belly, stretch marks, and pesky areas of fat that won’t go away. Thankfully, during a mommy makeover surgery, you could address these concerns through a variety of procedures!
Many women who have gone through pregnancy will need a tummy tuck. In this procedure, the stretched out extra loose skin is removed, and the tummy is made flat again. Any stretch marks below the belly button will be gone.
If your muscles have been stretched apart, they will be brought back and sewn together in the middle where they once were, creating a tighter waist. A tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction if needed.
If you have some areas that seem like they just want to hold on to fat, you may benefit from liposuction. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, but it is a fat-reducing operation. We remove fat from pesky areas like the love handles or thighs and contour your body to what it was before the baby, or better!
The procedures you need will depend on the problems you’re experiencing and what you’re unhappy with.
If your main problem is that your breasts just appear to have lost volume, you may be able to fix this with a breast augmentation.
There are so many good reasons to think about breast augmentation and having a baby is one of them. This procedure uses an implant to fill up the empty space and give your breasts that plump look. It could be se key to maximizing the potential of your mommy makeover.
If you find that your breasts have been stretched out and your nipples are too low, a breast lift may be the solution. A breast lift can be done with or without augmentation.
If your chest has enough volume, you may only need a breast lift. If your breasts are smaller than you wish them to be, or if all the volume seems to be in the bottom and none in the top of your breast, you may benefit from breast augmentation along with a lift.
Breast augmentation uses an implant to restore volume to the breast to create the size you wish. Then the breast tissue is then “lifted” to the correct place over the top of the implant.
If you feel your breasts are too large, you may consider having a breast reduction. Sometimes if you have tight skin and no sagging this can be done with simply liposuction.
However, most of mommy makeover patients in Las Vegas will need to have some excess skin removed as well to tighten and lift the breast.
You will see results immediately. Keep in mind that your body will continue to improve as it heals for the next several months. Swelling and discomfort will of course vary, but the recovery rules apply to everyone. You will need to rest and take time off work.
How much recovery time depends on the plastic surgery procedure(s). It may be as much as six weeks before you are fully recovered from mommy makeover and back to your normal routine. This is the time for you to relax, heal, and take care of yourself.
The majority of the swelling will be gone after 6 weeks. It is important to stick with your scar care routine prescribed by Dr. Mason.
The average price range varies for a mommy makeover procedure in Las Vegas, with the specific cost determined by the procedure’s complexity and individual requirements.
Typically, it’s best to maintain a BMI below 30 and be within 10 to 20 pounds of your target weight.
The cost of a mommy makeover can vary significantly, ranging from $6,500 to $27,000 or even higher. This variation in price is due to the fact that a mommy makeover typically involves a combination of multiple surgical procedures, each tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient.
The ideal time to undergo a mommy makeover is once you’ve decided not to have more children. While becoming pregnant after the procedure won’t impact the pregnancy itself, it could potentially alter the results of your surgery. Therefore, it’s advisable to be certain that you’re not planning to expand your family further before proceeding with the makeover.
The optimal age range for undergoing a mommy makeover is typically between 30 and 45 years old. This procedure can include various surgeries, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction, among others. Each of these surgeries has its own unique set of surgical and medical requirements.
Although the results of your tummy tuck and liposuction may be permanent, breast implants typically require future revisions. However, many women enjoy their enhanced figure for up to 10 years before considering an update.
After tightening sagging skin and removing excess fat, some women may find they drop one or two dress sizes, while others might see even more substantial size reductions.
If you are struggling to eliminate the marks of having a baby, consider a mommy makeover in Las Vegas. This impactful plastic surgery option could rejuvenate the breasts, tighten the stomach, and help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
