Are you frustrated with the changes to your body after pregnancy and breastfeeding? Dr. Teri N. Moak offers personalized mommy makeovers in Atlanta to address these concerns with body contouring treatments. These treatments target areas like the breasts, abdomen, and stubborn fat, helping you reclaim a toned, youthful appearance.
The effects of pregnancy
& childbirth on the body
Pregnancy and childbirth bring immense joy, but they also change your body in dramatic ways that can’t be reversed with lifestyle changes alone. These changes can include stretched abdominal muscles, loose skin, and stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Additionally, your breasts may lose volume and firmness due to fluctuating size and breastfeeding. These alterations can be frustrating and impact your confidence. A mommy makeover can help you regain your pre-pregnancy shape and boost your self-esteem.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized body contouring treatment designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body—or improve upon it. This personalized surgery plan combines multiple procedures in one session, focusing on areas most affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding. Common treatments include breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and labiaplasty. By targeting specific areas of concern, a mommy makeover in Atlanta helps you achieve a more toned, contoured, and youthful appearance, allowing you to feel confident and rejuvenated after the physical changes of motherhood.
Mommy Makeover can treat the following:
- Loss of breast volume
- Sagging or deflated breasts
- Changes in nipple position
- Excess abdominal skin
- Stretched or separated abdominal muscles
- Stubborn fat deposits on the body
- Loose skin on the arms or thighs
- Enlarged or uncomfortable labia
- Stretch marks on the abdomen or breasts
- Fine lines and wrinkles from stress and lack of sleep
You may be a candidate for a Mommy Makeover if:
- You are unhappy with changes in your body after pregnancy and breastfeeding

- You are in good physical and mental health
- You have realistic expectations about the results
- You are a nonsmoker or willing to stop smoking before surgery

What are the procedures commonly included in a Mommy Makeover?
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation restores lost volume to breasts that may have decreased in size due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. This surgery involves the use of implants to give you fuller, more aesthetically pleasing breasts. Breast augmentation can enhance your overall body proportions, improve the fit of your clothing, and boost your self-confidence. It is tailored to meet your desired size and shape, ensuring natural-looking results that complement your body.
Breast lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, addresses sagging or deflated breasts resulting from pregnancy and breastfeeding. This procedure removes excess skin, tightens the surrounding tissue, and repositions the nipples to a more youthful height. If additional volume is desired, a breast lift can also be combined with breast implants. The result is a firmer, perkier breast appearance that enhances your silhouette and rejuvenates your overall look.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, which often accumulate in various body areas during pregnancy. This procedure involves removing excess fat through a suction technique, allowing for better body contour and proportion. Liposuction can be performed on the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and other areas to help you achieve a more toned and defined appearance, enhancing the results of your mommy makeover in Atlanta.
Tummy tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a popular procedure for addressing excess abdominal skin and stretched or separated abdominal muscles, often caused by pregnancy. This surgery removes loose skin, tightens the abdominal muscles, and eliminates excess fat to create a firmer, flatter midsection. A tummy tuck can improve your abdominal contour and help you regain a more toned appearance, and it often complements other body contouring procedures.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and reshapes the labia minora, which can become enlarged or misshapen due to pregnancy and childbirth. This condition can cause discomfort in certain clothing, physical activity, or intimate situations. Labiaplasty improves the appearance and comfort of the labia, enhancing your confidence and physical well-being. It is a relatively simple procedure that can have a significant impact on your quality of life.
Non-invasive treatments
Non-invasive treatments, such as Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser therapy, are an essential part of a mommy makeover in Atlanta, especially for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin rejuvenation. They can help refresh your skin, reduce signs of aging, and improve your overall complexion. Non-invasive treatments are perfect for new moms who want to enhance their appearance without the downtime associated with surgical procedures.
What is the recovery following Mommy Makeover?
After your mommy makeover, you will experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Dr. Moak will provide detailed post-operative instructions to aid your recovery. You’ll need to rest and avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks. Most patients return to work within two to three weeks, though full recovery and resumption of all activities may take six to eight weeks. Dr. Moak will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure you achieve the best possible results.
