Mommy Makeover: Restoring Confidence After Motherhood
Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences, but they can also bring lasting changes to the body that may not fully respond to diet, exercise, or time. The Mommy Makeover is a customized surgical approach designed to address these changes and help women feel more confident in their bodies again.
Dr. Haley Augustine, a female plastic surgeon serving Forest Hill, North York, Markham, and Richmond Hill, specializes in personalized Mommy Makeover procedures that respect each woman’s goals, anatomy, and comfort.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is not one single procedure. Instead, it is a tailored combination of surgeries that commonly include:
- Tummy tuck to repair abdominal separation and remove loose skin
- Breast lift or breast augmentation to restore shape and volume
- Liposuction for contouring areas such as the waist, hips, or thighs
Every surgical plan is unique. Dr. Augustine works closely with each patient to understand their priorities, whether that’s restoring breast shape, rebuilding core strength, or smoothing and refining the silhouette.
Who is a Good Candidate?
A Mommy Makeover is best suited for women who:
- Are finished having children
- Are at a stable, healthy weight
- Have realistic goals and expectations
Because core muscles and skin elasticity are involved, timing is important. Many women choose to wait at least six months to a year after pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Recovery and Results
Recovery depends on the combination of procedures performed. Most patients take two to three weeks away from work and daily responsibilities, with full healing continuing over several months. Results are long-lasting when paired with healthy lifestyle habits.
Confidence, Comfort, and Expertise
As a female plastic surgeon, Dr. Haley Augustine understands both the physical and emotional aspects of post-pregnancy changes. Her approach is supportive, attentive, and centred around helping women feel strong, feminine, and confident in their bodies.
