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.

Mommy Makeover Candidate

A mommy makeover is not solely for new mothers; it can also benefit seasoned mothers by renewing their post-baby bodies. Most women who are finished having children, are near their ideal body weight, and have realistic expectations can often benefit from a mommy makeover. A mommy makeover can address sagging breasts, stubborn fat, excess skin, and more. A consultation with Dr. Colony can ultimately help to determine whether you can benefit from this procedure and which body and breast surgery options should be included.

Mommy Makeover Procedure in East Lansing

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.

Mommy Makeover Recovery in East Lansing

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.

Some of your mommy makeover results will be visible immediately, but most will take months to appear as swelling and bruising subsides. To maintain the results, you’ll want to stick to a healthy diet and regularly work out.

FAQs

Are Mommy Makeovers dangerous?

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.

Couldn't be happier!! Would recommend to everyone, tell everyone about Dr. Colony!!
