Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a comprehensive procedure that can help women regain their pre-pregnancy physique, reversing many of the changes that childbirth causes. Dr. Anh Vu offers mommy makeovers and other body sculpting procedures to residents of St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a collection of cosmetic procedures that address changes in the body that occur as a result of pregnancy and childbirth. This treatment typically targets areas including the breasts, abdomen, waist, and buttocks. A mommy makeover can include several treatments, including breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, or abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).

How is a Mommy Makeover Performed?
At Anh Vu, M.D., every mommy makeover begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Anh Vu. During this consultation, Dr. Vu carefully plans out the surgery based upon the patient’s aesthetic goals. Body sculpting procedures can create long-term, life-changing results, so he spends substantial time discussing the procedure with the patient to ensure they achieve the results they want. Dr. Vu is incredibly meticulous during surgery, though the level of detail varies depending on the procedures involved in a given patient’s mommy makeover. All procedures will involve precisely placed incisions that allow Dr. Vu to access the parts of the body that require treatment. In most cases, multiple incision options help patients minimize visible scarring. The mommy makeover typically includes removing excess skin and fat from various areas of the body, and may also include breast implants. All mommy makeovers are performed under anesthesia so that patients remain comfortable throughout treatment.
What Can I Expect After My Mommy Makeover?
Mommy makeovers are comprehensive procedures that involve a significant recovery period. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the treatment areas for up to a month after treatment. However, the exact recovery time and required downtime will depend on the treatments involved in your mommy makeover. During recovery, we recommend that patients take at least a week or two off of work and get as much rest as possible. Following your procedure, Dr. Vu will review instructions for specific post-surgery care and discuss the timing of any follow-up appointments.
How Long Do the Results from a Mommy Makeover Last?
When performed by an experienced, qualified surgeon like Dr. Anh Vu, mommy makeover results can last for years and look completely natural. However, these procedures do not prevent further changes from aging, weight gain, or future pregnancies.
