Your Procedure Choices in a Mommy Makeover–
Renowned Detroit plastic surgeon Dr. Ali completely customizes each mommy makeover to the patient’s unique needs and cosmetic goals. Every woman’s body is different – and pregnancy & delivery affects different women differently. So every woman’s mommy makeover will be personalized just for them during their consultation to reflect their specific needs.
With that in mind, the following list of available mommy makeovers can help get you started on thinking about what procedures are right for you. Take a look, and then schedule a mommy makeover consultation in our Birmingham, MI office with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali to discuss what’s right for you!
Mommy Makeover Breast Lift (with optional implants)
A woman’s breasts expand and contract dramatically during milk production, often causing her to go up several cup sizes, then drop back down once the baby is done breastfeeding. Because the skin has stretched so much, many women are left with flatter, saggy breasts.
A surgical breast lift can “tone and tighten” the breasts, restoring them to a natural and before after breastfeeding is complete, a combined lift and augmentation (implants) can be ideal. It is also a great opportunity for women who were never satisfied with their breasts even before pregnancy to go up a few sizes or get implants that give them better shape and fullness.
Mommy Makeover Liposuction
We all know that the pounds added during pregnancy can be tough to lose. Additionally, it’s very common for pregnancy hormones to cause a woman’s body to develop new deposits of fat in strange new places. And, unfortunately, this fat can be very stubborn and not respond to diet, exercise or conventional weight loss methods. Even mommies who return to their pre-baby weight may still discover that she has a new “muffin top” or “paunch” that won’t go away.
Mommy makeover liposuction saves the day by permanently removing unwanted fat cells in the belly, love handles or virtually anywhere on the body.
During liposuction fat is literally sucked out of the body through a minimally-invasive tube-like instrument. Better yet, once liposuction removes the fat cells, they never come back in that area.
Mommy Makeover Tummy Tuck
Sometimes simply getting rid of the fat isn’t enough to restore a woman’s shape. Pregnancy can also cause loose skin and damaged, sagging muscles in the abdomen.
During tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Ali can tighten the abdominal skin, and muscles if necessary. Loose skin is surgically removed and any muscle damage you have will be repaired. Even better, the skin tightening and removal process can also get rid of those annoying stretch marks from pregnancy.
Woman with only loose skin, but no muscle damage may only require a “mini” tummy tuck. This can be a great option, as mini tummy tucks are associated with minimal scarring and a much shorter recovery period.
Mommy Makeover Labiaplasty
Though not often discussed, a woman’s labia often stretches substantially during childbirth, causing the “flaps” of the labia minora to protrude beyond the labia majora. Not only can this make a woman feel sexually unattractive, it can also be very uncomfortable. Fortunately, labiaplasty can be performed to remove the excess skin from the labia minora.

Questions to Ask at a Mommy Makeover Consultation (Part 1)
/in Mommy Makeover /by adminFour Important Questions to Ask at a Mommy Makeover Consultation (Part 1)
A mommy makeover is an exciting way for a woman to get her pre-baby body back, and feel more attractive, more confident and sexier! But a mommy makeover is not a “one size fits all” procedure. Every woman’s body is different – and pregnancy and childbirth affect woman in many different ways.
At our Detroit area plastic surgery practice, every mommy makeover is customized to address each woman’s unique “trouble spots” – ensuring we chose the procedures that are best specifically for her.
To help you and your plastic surgeon determine which procedures are right for YOU, here are 4 crucial questions to ask during your mommy makeover consultation.
(1.) Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Most women who are in generally good overall health and want to restore the tone and shape of their body can be good candidates for a mommy makeover. However, there are a few additional factors that should be considered to determine if a mommy makeover is right for you during this stage of life.
Generally, to be an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover, a woman should meet these criteria:
(2.) Which Mommy Makeover Procedures should I Get?
The procedures that are best for you will depend upon the current “problem areas” you wish to remedy, as well as your long term appearance goals. Clearly communicate your feelings to your plastic surgeon, so he can recommend the surgeries that are best for you.
The most common procedures to add to a mommy makeover are a tummy tuck, liposuction and some type of breast enhancement (either a breast lift, breast implants, or both).
A mommy makeover is also the perfect time to fix issues that you may have had even before you were a mommy – such as increasing your breast size with implants, or sculpting a waist with liposuction.

(3.) What Mommy Makeover Surgical Techniques do You Use?
Once you decide which specific procedures you want to combine into a mommy makeover, you and your plastic surgeon need to discuss the specific surgical techniques that will be best in your situation.
Not all surgeons, and not all surgical techniques, deliver equally spectacular results. Only trust your mommy makeover to an experienced and board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali, who has performed hundreds of successful mommy makeovers.
For example, different techniques can result in greater or lesser amounts of scarring. Ask your plastic surgeon where the incisions will be placed, and how long they will be. Make sure he uses the most advanced techniques to minimize scarring while still delivering excellent results.
(4.) What will My Mommy Makeover Recovery Time Be?
Unless your kids are grown, moms have to balance anything they do for themselves with making sure their kids are cared for first and foremost. And, of course, many dedicated moms also have jobs in the workplace as well.
So it is important that you understand what the parameters of your recovery will be. In order to heal rapidly, painlessly and without complications it is essential that a patient have the resources in place to allow them the necessary recovery time.
The length of a patient’s recovery will depend on the type and number of surgical procedures that they have done.
Patients need to take it easy and avoid heavy lifting (including lifting babies, children & groceries) and housekeeping for two to three weeks. There is also typically some pain, swelling, bruising and tightness during this first stage of recovery, which may require pain medication. So driving is also out (and napping is in!) while you are taking pain meds during recovery.
Most women will also need to take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks off work to recover from a mommy makeover.

Everything ELSE You Need to Know about a Mommy Makeover

At our Detroit Area practice, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali believes that an educated and informed patient is the happiest and most satisfied patient. He has performed hundreds of mommy makeovers with stunning results, giving mommies their pre-baby bodies back.
If you are considering a mommy makeover, it’s important that you understanding what a mommy makeover does (and doesn’t) do – and when it can be done. In this article we dig a little deeper and discuss some of the lesser known facts about mommy makeovers.
When you Can (and Cant) Get a Mommy Makeover
Attempting a mommy makeover too soon after giving birth is simply not be safe – for a few reasons.
First, remember that pregnancy and childbirth put immense stress and strain on your body. A reputable board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali will require you to wait at least six months after giving birth before having invasive plastic surgery. This gives your abdominal tissue a chance to fully heal and recover before surgery.
Additionally, nursing mothers must wait until they are done breastfeeding to have a tummy tuck – so that you baby does not ingest anesthetic and pain meds from breastmilk. And, there will also be lifting restrictions for 2 to 6 weeks after surgery – making recovery while caring for a baby difficult.
There’s More than One Type of Tummy Tuck
The more fat a woman has gained during pregnancy (or pregnancies), the more loose skin and damaged muscles she is likely to have in need of surgical resection during a tummy tuck.
With each pregnancy, as the belly expands to accommodate a growing baby, the skin stretches and the tissue that joins the two lateral sections of a woman’s abdominal muscles can permanently tear.
On the other hand, woman who haven’t gained too much extra weight during pregnancy are more likely to get away with a “mini” tummy tuck afterward. This can be great news, as mini tummy tucks are associated with less scarring and a much shorter recovery period.
A tummy tuck is the only way to address the issue of damaged abdominal muscles. No amount of exercise will strengthen them enough to make them function normally. Instead, the patient needs a surgeon to stitch together the torn tissue between the sections of her abdominal muscles so that the
Pregnancy Hormones & Mommy Makeovers
It’s very common for pregnancy hormones to cause a woman’s body to develop new deposits of fat in strange new places. And, unfortunately, this fat can be very stubborn and not respond to diet, exercise or conventional weight loss methods. Even mommies who return to their pre-baby weight may still discover that she has a new “muffin top” or “paunch” that won’t go away.
This is where liposuction saves the day – by permanently removing the fat cells from these areas!
Mommy Makeovers Can Fix “Down There” too!
Sagging breasts from nursing are well known. But women often don’t discuss the vaginal looseness, or stretched out labia caused by labor and delivery. In addition to breast lifts, there are also surgical procedures (like labiaplasty) and nonsurgical treatments (like Viveve vaginal rejuvenation) that can makeover your intimate areas after childbirth! There’s no reason you can’t be a mommy during the day – but as sexy as ever in the evening!

Anesthesia Options During a Mommy Makeover
/in Mommy Makeover /by adminUnderstanding Anesthesia Options During Your Mommy Makeover–
The thought of getting your pre-baby body back with a mommy makeover can be so exciting. And thanks to the miracle so of modern anesthesia, your surgery can be pain free. But going under anesthesia can also lead to a little anxiety for some women.
Today’s technology in anesthesia is incredibly safe. And understanding your anesthesia options can help put your mind at ease. In this article Detroit area board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali helps you understand your anesthesia options during your mommy makeover.
General Anesthesia During Mommy Makeover
Most traditional mommy makeover procedures will require general anesthesia.
General anesthesia “knocks you out” or “puts you to sleep”. During general anesthesia a patient is completely unconscious and does not feel anything, including pain. Patients are not aware of, and do not remember, anything that occurs during surgery.
A certified anesthesiologist administers general anesthetic intravenously or by using an inhalation mask. They constantly monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and breathing throughout the surgery.
Since a mommy makeover is a more complex surgery involving a combination of surgeries on several areas of the body at once, it is generally safer and much more comfortable have the patient under general anesthesia.
IV Sedation & Local Anesthesia During Mommy Makeover
If your mommy makeover involves less-invasive procedures, however, they may be performed with local anesthesia. Some less-invasive procedures may be able to be performed under IV sedation – also called “twilight sedation” or “conscious sedation” – paired with local anesthetic.
IV sedation makes a patient relaxed and drowsy but still conscious and awake. Patients don’t feel any pain or discomfort – and the local anesthetic numbs the treated area.
However, patients wishing to avoid general anesthesia will be more limited in the procedures they can have. Liposuction, for example, can be performed using just IV sedation with a local anesthetic.
No Anesthesia During Mommy Makeover?
Modern anesthetic is incredibly safe when administered by a certified anesthesiologist. But patients wishing to avoid anesthetic altogether can still get a “mini mommy makeover” with a variety of nonsurgical beauty and rejuvenation treatments offered in our Detroit area plastic surgery center and Med Spa.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical liposuction alternative that can flatten the tummy, and get rid of love handles, back rolls and other stubborn pockets of fat. And ThermiSmooth radio-frequency treatments can help strengthen and thicken the skin to improve its tone and tightness and get rid of cellulite.
Additionally, our various laser treatments as well as Botox and dermal fillers injections, can treat facial wrinkles and lines.

Surgical vs. Non-surgical Mommy Makeovers
/in Mommy Makeover /by adminSurgical vs. Non-surgical Mommy Makeovers–
Pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood can be the most transformative experiences of a woman’s life. Unfortunately it can also “transform” her body – and not in a good way. While being a mom is absolutely worth the toll it takes on your body, it can leave a woman frustrated or insecure in her post-baby body.
The good news is that a “mommy makeover” can help fix those unwanted changes in the body, with a combination of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. At our Detroit Area surgical practice and Med Spa, Dr. Ali has helped hundreds of women get their body, their confidence, and their groove back with a mommy makeover.
Surgical Mommy Makeovers
A traditional mommy makeover involves multiple surgical procedures performed simultaneously. Surgical mommy makeover procedures can include any combination of: tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, liposuction, and even an arm lift or facelift.
Obviously surgical procedures result in the most dramatic physical improvements! For women who have the time and the resources to undergo a mommy makeover, the transformation can be absolutely stunning. In fact, in many cases, Dr. Ali’s mommy makeover patients report that their bodies even look better than they did before they had children!
Nonsurgical Mommy Makeovers
Procedures such as breast lifts and tummy tucks have improved vastly in the last decade – and the associated recovery time as also decreased dramatically. Still, with any surgery, there is still recovery time.
Because of the extensive recovery time needed for mommy makeover surgery, some women opt to wait to undergo surgery. Recovery can take up to two weeks of rest away from work and normal child rearing activities. And heavy lifting – such as carrying children or lifting groceries – should be avoided for at least six weeks after surgery. Additionally, there is no driving while you are still taking pain medications.
For women who aren’t in a position for this amount of time off, there is still help in the form of a nonsurgical mini mommy makeover.
CoolSculpting can get rid of stubborn abdominal fat (as well as love handles and chin, back arm & thigh fat) with no surgery and no downtime!
Additionally, our ThermiSmooth radio-frequency treatments can tighten abdominal skin and get rid of cellulite on the body – by heating the skin to stimulate natural production of collagen. It is not a substitute for a tummy tuck, but when combined with CoolSculpting it can definitely improve that post pregnancy tummy!
And, you can also refresh your appearance – looking younger and more rested – with a variety of facial peels, laser treatments and even Botox or dermal fillers.

A mommy makeover typically consists of three procedures:
However, every Mom’s post pregnancy body issues are different! At our Oakland County cosmetic surgery practice we customize each Mommy Makeover to include the specific procedures you need to get a body that looks as great (or even better!) than it did before pregnancy.
Take a look at just a few of the Mommy Makeover options we offer. Then schedule a consultation in our Oakland County office to discuss a customized Mommy Mkeover that will give you the body that you love.
Mommy Makeover: Breast Lifts and/or Breast Implants
Many moms, especially those who have breastfed their babies, lose breast volume and/or experience drooping of the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Women who have had multiple children generally notice even more dramatic breast sagging.
A breast lift tightens the breast skin, lifting up the breasts for a perkier, more youthful chest. For many women, a breast lift alone is sufficient to restore the pre-pregnancy appearance of the chest.
However, other women may experience a loss of breast tissue after childbirth. For these Mommy Makeover candidates, breast implants can be used to add volume, firmness and shape. It is also an opportunity for women who have always wanted larger breasts to go up a size or two or three!
Mommy Makeover: Types of Tummy Tucks
There are a variety of different tummy tuck procedures – including a full tummy tuck, a partial tummy tuck (dermolipectomy) an endoscopic tummy tuck, and even a “mini-tummy tuck”. Which tummy tuck procedure will be best for a woman will depend upon whether she only has loose or excess skin, just poor abdominal muscle tone, or a combination of both.
Endoscopic abdominoplasty is performed on people having weakened abdominal muscles, and excess abdominal fat, but who still have tight abdominal skin.
Dermolipectomy, is a tummy tuck in which excess skin and fat is removed and the belly button is repositioned. However, there is no muscle tightening.
A “mini-tummy tuck” also removes excess skin and fat, but does not tighten muscles, and is used when the navel does not need to be repositioned.
Full Abdominoplasty is the most extensive type of tummy tuck surgery. It is appropriate for women with very lax muscles, as well as larger amounts of excess loose skin.
Customizing Your Mommy Makeover
When you schedule a Mommy Makeover Consultation at our cosmetic surgery center, we will help you decide which procedures are right for you. Dr. Ali will listen to your appearance goals, answer your questions and thoroughly examine your skin and muscles to determine which Mommy Makeover procedures are right for you.
Busy mothers love a Mommy Makeover, because it’s “one and done” – and the recovery time for multiple procedures is condensed into one single timeframe. And “bundling” multiple cosmetic procedures into one single “Mommy Makeover” will save you a great deal of money (and time!) over scheduling each procedure separately on different days.

Mommy Makeover FAQs (Part 1)
/in Mommy Makeover /by adminMommy Makeover FAQs (Part 1)
.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding take their toll on a woman’s body.
Lax stomach muscles, sagging abdominal skin, and drooping breasts are just a few of the unwanted “side effects” of childbirth. Vaginal looseness or “laxity” is also common after childbirth. And unwanted deposits of “baby weight” fat that won’t go away (no matter how much you diet or exercise!) are also typically after bearing children.
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures – all performed at one time – to remedy all of these problems. A mommy Makeover enables any Mommy to get her pre-baby body back – and love the way she looks – with just a single surgical appointment!
What Procedures are included in a Mommy Makeover?
Traditionally, a mommy makeover typically consisted of three procedures: a tummy tuck; a breast lift and/or breast implants; and liposuction.
However, at our state-of-the-art Oakland County cosmetic surgery center we also offer additional cosmetic services to help Mommies get their bodies back! In addition to a tummy tuck, breast lift or implants and liposuction, we also offer vaginal rejuvenation (vagina tightening) as well as a variety of cosmetic facial fillers and laser treatments.
Because every Mom’s post pregnancy body concerns are different, we can customize the exact procedures you need to get a body that looks as great (or even better!) than it did before pregnancy.
Do I have to be a “Mommy” to get a Mommy Makeover?
Absolutely not! While pregnancy can wreak havoc on a woman’s body, so can age, gravity, hormonal changes, heredity, illness and even excessive weight loss.
No matter what the cause of your unwanted body changes, we can customize a one-stop, all-inclusive, surgical makeover to give you the body you’ll love.
How long is recovery time for a Mommy Makeover?
One of the biggest advantages of a Mommy Makeover is that recovery time for multiple procedures is condensed into one single timeframe. With a Mommy Makeover at Oakland County AMAE Plastic Surgery you CAN “have it all” with just a single surgical appointment!
The recovery time will depend upon the type of surgeries you decide upon, as well as the extent or seriousness of the body issues to be corrected. In most cases, depending on which procedures you are a candidate for, recovery takes from 2 to 6 weeks. Typically patients are able to return to work within 2 to 3 weeks, while returning to exercise and more strenuous daily activities may take from 4 to 6 weeks.
