Mommy Makeover
The “Mommy Makeover” procedure combines some of the most popular plastic surgery procedures to restore shape and form to the face, body and breasts. Women typically see dramatic changes in their bodies after child birth. Breasts sag and lose volume due to weight fluctuation and breast feeding, while the stomach may show sagging skin and hard to get rid of fat long after pregnancy. A Mommy Makeover by Dr. Sarah Mess allows women in the DMV area and beyond to regain the figure of their youth and helps promote the confidence to enjoy it.

Traditionally women and surgeons focused on the big three for Mommy Makeovers: Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck, and Liposuction. At some point a savvy marketer dubbed this group of procedures the “Mommy Makeover” and the name stuck. Today’s Mommy Makeover surgery has grown to include a large group of procedures that can be combined together or separately to shape and enhance the body, face, and spirit, and you don’t have to give birth or breast feed to benefit from these combined procedures. You don’t even have to be a woman for that matter. There are plenty of Maryland men that come to Dr. Mess for their Male Makeovers.
Ideal Candidates for Mommy Makeover Surgery
Mommy Makeovers suit a wide range of patients and body types. Candidates should be at least 18 years of age and in good overall health. During your Mommy Makeover consult, Dr. Sarah Mess will evaluate your skin, facial features, natural body type and breast shape and discuss the best options to achieve your makeover goals. Patients should have realistic expectations and goals regarding the outcome of their procedures, but Mommy Makeovers offer a great option for women looking to regain a more tone and youthful appearance.
The Mommy Makeover Procedure
There is no one Mommy Makeover. Age, weight fluctuation, and gravity affect us all. Many women still concentrate on the core breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures while others combine these core procedures with eyelid surgery or a liquid facelift (Dermal Fillers, Botox, and Chemical Peels). Multiple surgeries can be grouped and combined in a single procedure or performed one at a time. The variations are infinite and this flexibility allows Dr. Mess to develop a makeover package tailored for each individual patient. Have a rock hard stomach but feel self conscious about your crow’s feet and miss the volume and firmness of your pre-maternal breasts? Dr. Mess can combine a breast augmentation or lift with a liquid facelift and you can enjoy the restorative results out and about in less than a week. Have your heart set on a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck? These surgeries can be combined into one procedure for considerably less money than having the surgeries performed separately, and the combined recovery means you get back to doing what you like sooner, and better.
