Is A Tummy Tuck Part Of A Mommy Makeover?

You love being a mom, but you’re not exactly thrilled at how difficult it’s been to get your pre-baby body back. After all, you’ve been putting in the time and hard work at the gym…

But you haven’t seen your tummy pooch respond to your efforts.

That’s why you may be curious about tummy tuck surgery, and if it can be included in a Mommy Makeover package.

Let’s take a look!

MOMMY MAKEOVERS WITH A TUMMY TUCK

First, let’s explain what a Mommy Makeover involves. This cosmetic surgery actually combines other procedures that help address some of the most common cosmetic issues mothers may experience, including:

- Stomach pooch  
- Excess skin around the abdomen  
- Saggy breasts  
- Sagging skin around the thighs and arms  
- Loss of breast volume  
- Excess fat  
- And more

The best part about the Mommy Makeover? It can be completely personalized to you. That means your surgery can address the cosmetic issues that bother you most.

So if you’re bothered by the appearance of a stomach pooch that won’t respond to diet or exercise, your Mommy Makeover can indeed include a tummy tuck! This surgery can repair damaged abdominal muscles and lay them flat again, creating a more contoured and visually-pleasing tummy.

SHOULD YOU INCLUDE A TUMMY TUCK IN YOUR MOMMY MAKEOVER?

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kyle Song will work closely with you to create a personalized Mommy Makeover plan that can help produce your desired results. If you want to flatten your stomach, Dr. Song can include an abdominoplasty in your Mommy Makeover procedure.

- You have a “tire” of skin and fat around your waistline
