Mommy Makeover – Miami Abdominoplasty Post-Pregnancy

Posted July 11, 2014 in Plastic Surgery

When a patient receives an abdominoplasty after pregnancy, it’s called a Mommy Makeover. This procedure is designed to help a woman’s abdominal area look the way it did before pregnancy.

What happens to the abdomen during pregnancy? As a child grows in a woman’s uterus, the uterus expands. This has the unfortunate side effect of pushing against the abdominal muscles, causing a stretching and separation of the abdominal wall. The stretched muscles hang, which creates the look of belly flab.

A Mommy Makeover can tighten the ab muscles and give you a firm abdominal wall once again.
