Mommy Makeover

Request A Consultation

During pregnancy, a mother’s body can change dramatically. Weight is redistributed, breasts grow and eventually fall, and muscles in the stomach separate and become weakened. Though not all mothers will discuss it, it is not uncommon for these body changes to have a negative effect on self-confidence and self-esteem. A mommy makeover in East Lansing can help mothers feel a renewed sense of self with a combination of cosmetic procedures to help them get back their pre-pregnancy body.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover at Michigan Plastic Surgery® usually consists of a combination of breast and body enhancement procedures. Because no two women are the same, the specifics of a mommy makeover will vary from patient to patient. In East Lansing, women may choose between different surgical options, including breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, tummy tuck, labiaplasty, and more. Dr. Colony can explain individual procedures to each of his patients.

How Does a Mommy Makeover Work?

A mommy makeover works by tailoring multiple procedures into one surgery designed to restore areas most affected by pregnancy. By combining treatments into one operation, patients can achieve more comprehensive results while undergoing just one recovery period. Dr. Colony will discuss your areas of concern and create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

Why Combine Different Procedures

Combining procedures into a mommy makeover allows patients to see more holistic improvements compared to addressing concerns one at a time. This approach saves recovery time and ensures that the results of body and breast procedures complement each other.

Mommy Makeovers and Body Procedures

Body procedures included in a mommy makeover often address the midsection and stubborn fat deposits. Options such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, or labiaplasty help restore a smoother, firmer contour and improve comfort in clothing. By targeting areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth, these procedures help women feel more confident in their figure.

Mommy Makeovers and Breast Procedures

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often lead to changes in breast size, shape, and firmness. Patients may choose breast augmentation to restore lost volume, a breast lift to correct sagging, or a combination of both. Dr. Colony will help patients select the right breast procedure to align with their goals and create a balanced appearance.

Patient Testimonials

I want to say Thank you to Dr. Colony for the amazing job he did on fixing my core stomach muscles and a mini tummy tuck. This is the 3rd surgery he has performed on me and I have never been unhappy. After I saw my tummy when the bandages came off, I could not believe that where he cut me you could not see the incision at all. I'm 51 years old and feel very blessed to have found a Plastic Surgeon that is passionate about what he does. And I have always been treated very well by Dr. Colony and his wonderful staff. Thank you Dr. Colony for making me feel good about my appearance again.

Dr. Colony’s professionalism, skill, and pure kindness are truly unmatched. I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Colony last year and he made me feel totally comfortable and supported through the entire process… I can’t recommend Michigan Plastic Surgery™ enough.

Dr. Colony did AMAZING work!!!! I could NOT be happier with my results. I am 6wks post op breast augmentation and I am completely 150% satisfied. I spent 2hrs asking questions in my consultation. He answered every single one of them. The procedure went perfectly and great CRNA and staffing. Great pre/post-op packet given before surgery. Am sooooo pleased with my results!! Couldn't be happier!! Would recommend to everyone, tell everyone about Dr. Colony!!

Before Your Mommy Makeover Procedure

Before your mommy makeover, you will have a consultation with Dr. Colony to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and select the procedures best suited for your needs. You may need to adjust medications and stop smoking to ensure optimal results and recovery.

During Your Mommy Makeover Procedure

On the day of surgery, your mommy makeover will be performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Colony will carefully follow the surgical plan discussed during your consultation, combining your desired breast and body procedures as needed. The length of surgery will vary depending on which enhancements you choose, but each step is performed with precision and attention to detail to achieve the best results.

After Your Mommy Makeover Procedure

Following a mommy makeover, recovery time will vary from patient to patient. Downtime will be dependent on the invasiveness of your individualized mommy makeover procedure. Patients will need to wear bandages and compression garments during recovery to help reduce swelling and ensure a safe recovery. Pain medication will be prescribed to help control any discomfort.
