The experience of pregnancy and becoming a new mother can take a dramatic toll on your body, resulting in a less than desirable appearance. Many women experience volume loss in the breasts, a flabby tummy, and unwanted fat deposits after their pregnancy. For many of these women, no amount of diet and exercise will restore their firm, youthful bodies. The mommy makeover targets the major problem areas women struggle with following pregnancy. The goal of a mommy makeover is basically to tighten and restore an attractive breast and torso.Schedule a Mommy Makeover consultation with Dr. J. Brian Boyd in South Bay.

The Benefits of a Mommy Makeover in Palos Verdes & Torrance, CA?
A mommy makeover is designed to rejuvenate your body after pregnancy. Women should only undergo the mommy makeover procedure after they are certain they are finished having children.
Women choosing to undergo a mommy makeover shouldn’t be nursing at the time of the procedure.
Recovering from a mommy makeover can take several weeks. You will need to avoid heavy lifting for at least three weeks because of the tummy tuck. It is important to ensure you have a strong support system at home to help with some of your mommy duties while you recover.
A mommy makeover is designed to restore your pre-baby body and help you feel more attractive and confident. However, women must have realistic expectations about what can be achieved with a mommy makeover. Dr. Boyd will be sure to explain the limitations as well as the benefits.
What type of anesthesia is used during a mommy makeover?
General anesthesia is used during the mommy makeover to ensure patient comfort and safety.
Will I have extensive scarring after my mommy makeover?
The amount of scarring will depend on the techniques used for your breast and abdominal procedures. No matter the extent of correction, Dr. Boyd takes great care to place all incisions in discreet locations to minimize the visibility of scars. Most scars are likely to fade over time.
How will I feel following my mommy makeover?
You will likely experience some bruising, swelling, and redness. Pressure on the chest and tightness in the abdomen may cause some mild discomfort. An abdominal compression garment is applied to reduce swelling. You will rest for several days in a reclining position with your hips flexed.
Is the mommy makeover recovery painful?
Initially, you might experience some mild to moderate discomfort, but most patients say this only lasts two to three days. To control any associated pain, ample oral medication will be prescribed.
What if I don’t need all the procedures outlined in the mommy makeover?
One benefit of the mommy makeover is that it can be customized based on the needs of each patient. Only procedures that will enhance your appearance need to be included as part of your mommy makeover.
Is a mommy makeover possible in a male patient and if so would it be called a daddy do-over?
In males who have experienced a massive weight loss or who have aged badly, there is often excessive breast development or skin looseness in addition to an unwanted abdominal fold. These patients are excellent candidates for gynaecomastia correction (excision of male breast tissue) combined with a tummy tuck. And, yes, we could term it a ‘daddy do-over’ although there is no requirement that the individual father any children.
