Mommy Makeover

Having a baby is one of the most joyful and rewarding experiences a woman will ever encounter, but unfortunately, the process can take an enormous toll on her body. Her breasts may collapse after years of breastfeeding or remain so large post-childbirth that they are uncomfortable. She may have hanging tummy skin and fat deposits that no amount of diet and exercise can eradicate. Mona Rane M.D. FRCS offers a full range of "Mommy Makeover" procedures designed to help women restore their youthful figures after childbirth, so they can focus on raising their children without experiencing a loss of their own vitality and self-worth.

The following plastic surgery for moms is available:


A makeover for moms can be offered as a combination of services, as a single procedure or in stages. For instance, a woman who has given birth a few months prior may want liposuction to restore the firm appearance of her thighs and abdomen. A couple of years later, once she is done with breastfeeding, she may return for a breast lift and augmentation to help her breasts return to their original perky, full appearance.

A buttock lift or "tummy tuck" may be desired in cases where a woman gained significant weight during a pregnancy and has hanging skin that does not shrink back. In the abdomen in particular, this loose skin can persist no matter how faithfully a woman exercises because the underlying collagen has been destroyed. An abdominoplasty procedure, in which the extra skin is excised, may be the only solution. A further advantage of this procedure is any stretch marks that existed on the removed skin will be gone forever.

Plastic surgery for moms doesn't just restore a woman's figure after childbirth: A "Mommy Makeover" restores her sense of pride in her appearance. Being a mom is hard work that requires sleepless nights, mental energy and a lot of physical stamina. When a woman feels bad about her body image, it is that much easier for her to sink into depression, affecting her ability to parent and have fulfilling adult relationships. A makeover for moms performed by expert and caring surgeon Dr. Mona Rane M.D. gives a woman back her sexuality and her confidence, which is good medicine for the whole family.
