Mommy Makeover Surgery in Atlanta

Atlanta plastic surgeon Dr. John LeRoy performs mommy makeover surgery to reduce the physical effects of previous pregnancies including: abdominal muscle separation, isolated areas of excess fat, and enlarged or sagging breasts. Mommy makeover surgery consists of a combination of several plastic surgery procedures designed to specifically target those areas of the body influenced heavily by pregnancy and child birth including liposuction, breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift (mastopexy), and tummy tuck.

Dr. LeRoy uses liposuction to remove isolated areas of exercise and diet resistant fat on the abdomen, hips, love handles, buttocks, or thighs. A woman’s body naturally retains additional fat when she is pregnant to ensure proper food production for the baby. However, when the fat does not disappear when the baby comes, it can be particularly frustrating. While liposuction is certainly an effective component of mommy makeover surgery, some women believe they have fat on their lower abdomen causing a loose, pooch appearance when it is usually tissue that has become lax due to muscle separation during pregnancy.

When muscle separation is the issue, Dr. John LeRoy uses a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedure to tighten the loose, underlying muscles and abdominal skin during mommy makeover surgery. Dr. LeRoy can also perform cosmetic breast procedures like breast reduction (macromastia) and breast lift (mastopexy) to relieve mothers of the excess weight and tissue that can form as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding. A breast augmentation procedure may be more suitable for women who experience lost volume due to pregnancy and breastfeeding.
