For countless mothers, becoming a parent is one of life’s most rewarding experiences. However, the physical changes that come with pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can leave some mothers longing for their pre-baby bodies. Enter the Mommy Makeover. At Associates In Plastic Surgery, we understand every mother’s desire to look and feel her best. Serving patients in Edison, Marlboro, Warren, and West Orange, New Jersey, we offer a comprehensive range of procedures tailored to your unique needs. Here’s a closer look at some of the options available to include in a Mommy Makeover surgery treatment plan:
- Liposuction: One of the most common plastic surgery procedures, liposuction is designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body. If diet and exercise haven’t melted away those stubborn pockets of fat, liposuction, Vaser liposuction, or Smartlipo might be ideal options.
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): For mothers who have loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles post-pregnancy, a tummy tuck can restore a firmer, flatter abdomen.
- Breast Procedures: Breast surgery encompasses a range of procedures to help women achieve their desired breast size and shape, from breast augmentation, which uses breast implants to enhance volume, breast lift to rejuvenate sagging breast tissue, or a breast reduction for those seeking relief from the discomfort of overly large breasts, these surgical procedures offer tailored solutions.
- Arm Lift: Say goodbye to “bat wings” with an arm lift, also referred to as brachioplasty. This procedure tightens and smooths the under portion of the upper arms.
- Female Enhancement: Revitalize your intimate regions with procedures like labiaplasty or vaginoplasty that are designed to restore and rejuvenate.
- Brazilian Butt Lift: Enhance your derriere by transferring fat from other parts of your body to the buttocks, creating a fuller, perkier appearance.
- Body Lift: Ideal for those with excess sagging skin due to significant weight loss or aging, a body lift can drastically improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue.
- Thigh Lift: Address sagging in the inner or outer thighs to achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Non-Surgical Treatments: For those not ready for surgery, we offer non-invasive cosmetic procedures like laser skin rejuvenation, to address skin laxity or issues with texture and tone, while treatments Botox can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and fillers can restore lost volume, providing a youthful and refreshed appearance.

Choosing the Procedures for Your Mommy Makeover
Every woman’s body is unique, and the effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can manifest in various ways. Hence, a one-size-fits-all approach to a Mommy Makeover simply doesn’t cut it. Instead, the key lies in tailoring a combination of procedures that address your specific concerns and aspirations. To help you decide on the perfect blend for your transformation, we recommend:
1. Assessing Your Concerns
Start by standing in front of a mirror and critically assessing the areas you’re most unhappy with. Are you primarily concerned with sagging breasts, a protruding belly, or stubborn fat on your thighs?
2. Prioritizing Your Concerns
List down the changes you’d like to see in order of priority. This can be especially helpful if you’re working within a budget or if you’re looking to minimize recovery time by choosing fewer procedures.
3. Choosing Complementing Procedures
Post-pregnancy, many women find their bodies altered in ways that simple diet and exercise can’t rectify, with challenges like excess skin, stretch marks, or a weakened abdominal wall, especially following a C-section. To address these, selecting body procedures that harmonize with one another is vital. For instance, if you aim to tighten the abdominal region, you might consider combining a tummy tuck (which addresses the abdominal wall and excess skin) with liposuction for comprehensive body contouring. Further, if stretch marks are a concern, laser treatments can be added to enhance skin texture.
4. Considering Recovery
Certain procedures might have overlapping recovery processes, allowing you to heal from multiple surgeries simultaneously. For instance, if you’re considering both breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, they can often be done together, allowing for a single recovery period instead of two separate ones.
6. Schedule a Personal Consultation
Perhaps the most crucial step is a thorough initial consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to determine if you are a good candidate. They can provide expert advice, show before-and-after photos of previous patients with similar concerns, and help you visualize potential outcomes.
