What Procedures Are Included in a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of several procedures tailored to individual needs. Below are the most common surgeries:

A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, providing a flatter, more toned stomach. Combined with liposuction, it helps eliminate stubborn fat deposits. We also offer lipo laser contouring, cool body sculpting, and cavitation body sculpting for additional sculpting

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause sagging or volume loss.

We offer:

  • Breast lift (mastopexy) for a youthful contour
  • Breast augmentation to restore volume
  • Breast reduction for comfort and proportionality.

For stubborn fat removal, we offer:

  • Traditional liposuction & laser liposuction
  • Surgical body contouring for a more defined shape

A BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) enhances curves by transferring fat from unwanted areas.

  • Brachioplasty (arm lift) tightens sagging skin
  • Thigh lift removes excess skin after major weight loss
  • Surgical body lift for full-body reshaping.

Is Mommy Makeover Painful?

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort in the first few days following surgery, but this is easily managed with prescribed pain medication.

To further minimize post-operative pain, Dr. Itay Wiser utilizes an advanced nerve block technique during surgery. This temporarily numbs the surgical area, significantly reducing discomfort for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Patients who receive a nerve block often report a smoother, more comfortable recovery with less reliance on pain medication.

📌 Dr. Wiser’s focus on patient comfort ensures that you experience the easiest and most pain-free recovery possible.
