A tummy tuck, medically known as an abdominoplasty, is a procedure with cosmetic and functional benefits. It can flatten your midsection, remove sagging abdominal skin, and repair weakened or separated core muscles. When performing a Dallas tummy tuck, Dr. Stephanie Teotia can also restore your self-confidence after pregnancy or dramatic weight loss, allowing you to wear more clothing styles comfortably and confidently.

Depending on your goals, you may benefit from combining complementary procedures with your tummy tuck for even better results. For example, a mommy makeover is one of the most sought-after ways to reshape your body, supplementing your nutrition and fitness efforts to help you regain your pre-baby physique.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy and childbirth are awe-inspiring experiences that highlight the human body’s remarkable capabilities and strength. However, nurturing a tiny life can leave lasting effects. Many women struggle to fit back into their pre-pregnancy clothes, discovering diet and exercise alone are not enough to address concerns like lax abdominal skin and volume loss in their breasts.

The mommy makeover is a customizable solution to help you regain your confidence after the fulfilling yet demanding experience of carrying a child.

Is a Mommy Makeover Right for You? 

You may be disappointed if your body does not bounce back to its pre-motherhood shape after delivering and breastfeeding your baby. Fortunately, specific surgical techniques allow Dr. Teotia to target the most typical post-pregnancy body contouring concerns.

It is up to you to decide what you want to include in your mommy makeover. However, most patients choose to combine a tummy tuck with liposuction and breast surgery for a comprehensive rejuvenation that addresses the unwelcome aesthetic side effects of pregnancy and nursing.

Abdominoplasty

The lower abdomen often withstands most pregnancy-related changes like loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles. With a tummy tuck, Dr. Teotia specifically addresses these concerns by tightening core muscles and meticulously eliminating excess skin, resulting in a smoother contour. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Teotia stays abreast of innovative tummy tuck techniques to ensure improved pain management, a more comfortable recovery, and striking results.

Liposuction

Adding liposuction to your tailored tummy tuck plan can further enhance your appearance by removing excess, hard-to-lose fat from your lower abdomen. While liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, it has multiple benefits, especially when paired with abdominoplasty. Dr. Teotia can remove small pockets of localized fat from your abdominal region and other trouble spots, such as your thighs, hips, back, and neck.

Breast Procedures

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can dramatically alter your breast shape and size due to hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, and milk production. During pregnancy, mammary glands enlarge and milk ducts expand, causing your breasts to grow. After childbirth, breasts continue to change in response to the stretching and shrinking of the breast tissue during breastfeeding. If you now experience sagging, drooping, enlarged, or flattened breasts, you may want to get a lift, reduction, or augmentation alongside your tummy tuck for an extensive improvement.
