Mommy Makeover in Sarasota, FL

View Gallery Free Personalized Consultation Now

Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it changes the body in a way that’s not always possible to restore with diet and exercise. The stubborn belly pooch from stretched muscles and the sagging appearance of the breasts always remind mothers of their pre-pregnancy body. A mommy makeover for Bradenton patients is a transformative procedure that addresses these concerns in a single surgery. A customized surgical plan is designed to target the most common post-pregnancy changes, often involving the breasts, abdomen, and waistline.

Patients from Bradenton, West Bradenton, South Bradenton, Palmetto, Lakewood Ranch, Bayshore Gardens, Cortez, and Anna Maria Island travel to Sarasota Surgical Arts for mommy makeover surgery performed by Dr. Alberico Sessa. He’s a board-certified cosmetic surgeon who has 18+ years of experience and over 25,000 successful surgeries under his name.

What Is Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a personalized surgery plan designed to address the physical changes that can remain after pregnancy. During pregnancy, the skin can stretch, abdominal muscles can separate, and breast shape and fat distribution can change in ways that exercise alone often cannot fix. A mommy makeover in Sarasota may include:

  • Tightening the abdominal muscles
  • Removing loose skin
  • Reshaping the breasts
  • Reducing stubborn fat

These are intended to help bring the body back into better balance. Each procedure is carefully planned to work together, with close attention to safety, scar placement, and recovery, so results look natural and hold up over time. At Sarasota Surgical Arts, Dr. Sessa plans mommy makeovers as a custom combination that may include breast surgery, abdominal repair, and body contouring, depending on what the patient wants.

What Is Usually Included in a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is customized to each patient. It strategically combines procedures that focus on the areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth. These usually include:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck tightens stomach muscles that may have stretched or separated during pregnancy. It also removes loose skin from the abdomen. This creates a flatter and firmer midsection when exercise alone is not enough.

Breast Enhancement

Breast enhancement improves breast shape, size, and position after pregnancy or breastfeeding. This may involve adding implants for volume, lifting the breasts to correct sagging, or reducing breast size to relieve heaviness.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn fat that does not go away with diet and exercise. It is often used on areas like the abdomen, hips, thighs, or arms to smooth contours and improve overall body shape.

Overall, it helps streamline both treatment and recovery when compared to spacing procedures out over time.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Bradenton Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover can be a good option for many women in Bradenton, but it is not right for everyone. The ideal candidate for a Brandenton mommy makeover are:

  • Overall good health: Good candidates are generally healthy and do not have serious medical conditions that could make surgery or recovery more difficult.
  • Close to a goal weight: Most surgeons recommend being at or near your ideal weight, usually within about 10 to 15 pounds.
  • Finished having children: Because pregnancy can stretch the skin and muscles again, it is usually best to wait until you are done having children.
  • Realistic expectations: Good candidates understand what surgery can and cannot do.

A consultation is the best way to determine if a Bradenton mommy makeover is right for you, based on your health, body, and personal goals.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery depends on what is included, but the initial recovery usually takes one to two weeks. Patients should plan for help at home early on. The practice also advises avoiding heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and carrying anything over 10 pounds for the first six weeks. Patients often plan to take about two weeks away from work to recover and should plan for help because lifting (including children) needs to be limited.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in Bradenton, Florida?
