Tummy Tuck and Mommy Makeover Patient Reviews
“I had my “mommy makeover” in March 2021 and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Hochstein was so professional and his office staff was amazing. He made me feel at ease from the minute I met him. Honestly this surgery has changed my life.” – J. K.
“My experience at Dr. Hochstein office has been wonderful, from the reception personnel to Dr. Hochstein himself. I felt every single minute very relaxed and with the confidence that I made a great decision to put me in the expert hands of Dr. Hochstein for my tummy tuck.” – E. M.
What Does a Tummy Tuck Achieve?
One of the most popular cosmetic body procedures is a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck focuses on loose skin and stubborn fat deposits, weak or separated abdominal muscles, and lower abdominal stretch marks.
A mini tummy tuck typically involves removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen. If you’ve experienced events like pregnancy or significant weight gain or loss, a tummy tuck can provide mild skin tightening to define your silhouette without muscle repair.
A full tummy tuck surgery covers a much larger area than a mini, and also repairs separated or weakened upper and lower abdominal muscles. If you have more than just mild skin sagging to tackle, this is a better option for you.
What Does Mommy Makeover Surgery Achieve?
A Mommy Makeover is a more extensive, customized combination that brings together multiple body and breast surgeries into a single procedure to restore a pre-pregnancy body or achieve more comprehensive enhancement. These procedures can include liposuction, a tummy tuck, a breast augmentation, and a breast lift.
If you have more than just abdominal sagging and would like to target multiple areas of your body, this may be a better option. A Mommy Makeover includes multiple procedures to improve the areas you would like to target. Other procedures include a labiaplasty, an arm lift, a thigh lift, and more.
This is also a good option for patients who want multiple procedures, but only one recovery period.
Which Surgical Procedure Is Best for Me?
Determining which procedure is best for you can be challenging, especially when you have limited knowledge of costs, recovery time, and what each can achieve. Luckily, you do not need to make this decision alone.
The best way to determine if a tummy tuck or a Mommy Makeover is better for you is through consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Leonard Hochstein. He uses his expertise to analyze your anatomy, understand your health and goals, and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your dream body.
Every person is different, so a procedure that works for one person may not work for you.
