"Mommy Makeover" Before & After Photos

This 40 year-old woman from northern Illinois initially consulted us about a breast reduction, but in discussions about this procedure to be performed under general anesthesia and to be covered by insurance, she realized that this would be an opportune time to consider an abdominoplasty and liposuction as well, to keep her body in a favorable proportion.  She was also apprised of the significant cost savings to be realized by combining procedures (if safe to do so), as well as the benefit of going through only one recovery period.  Having finished having children, she therefore decided to become one of the many women in Chicagoland who undergo a “Mommy Makeover” with us each year.

Indeed, she underwent a formal breast reduction (during which approximately 584gm were removed from the right, and 746 gm from the left), and a concomitant formal abdominoplasty, with bilateral hip and flank liposuction (approximately 450 cc of fatty tissue removed from each side) to further contour her mid-section.  She stayed one night in the hospital – which she would have to do for the breast reduction anyway – and went home the next day.  Drains were removed in about a week, and within a month (at which time these photos were taken), she was largely back to her normal activities, with only nominal residual swelling or discomfort.

If you are a younger mom whose family is complete, and you are somewhat distressed about the significant changes your body has undergone in recent years, you would be amazed at the power that a “Mommy Makeover” has to recapture your more youthful – if not outright improved – figure, not to mention a more energized outlook on the world.  If you are considering, like many women in the region of Chicago, a “Mommy Makeover”, do yourself a favor and visit us at Lake Forest Plastic Surgery, where we helped pioneer the concept, and where we insist on performing these combination procedures in the safe and confidential environment of Lake Forest Hospital.  You deserve it!
