What is a Mommy Makeover? Go to our YouTube Page and watch a patient testimonial that actually had a mommy makeover.
Dr. Michelle Hardaway is often asked about the so-called “mommy makeover.” This is a popular term that is used to describe a combination of aesthetic/ plastic surgery procedures done concurrently to “bring back” the body of your youth. Typical mommy makeover patients have the following procedures performed designed to enhance their body shape including a tummy tuck, breast lift or breast augmentation and areas of the body that are liposuctioned. The goal is to re-shape your body that has been changed due to pregnancy.
How do you know if you a mommy makeover is right for you? It all begins with a consultation with Dr. Hardaway to discuss what goals you desire regarding your body re-shaping, determine if you are planning on having more children, your diet and exercise program, and other aspects of your lifestyle that are considered when looking at body re-shaping. Although a mommy makeover includes multiple cosmetic enhancement procedures, Dr. Hardaway has hundreds of patients that have undergone this procedure who are extremely happy and definitely glad they made the decision to have the surgery.

Is the Mommy Makeover procedure performed in a surgical center? Mommy makeovers can be performed in a surgical suite as an outpatient procedure or in a hospital with an overnight stay depending on the patients’ medical history and the number of procedures that are performed. Dr. Hardaway will discuss the options that are best for you at the time of your consultation.
What can I expect? Because every woman has their own specific body re-shaping goals and is an individual, Dr. Hardaway develops a plan specific to address the goals. Dr. Hardaway explains that the stresses of pregnancy, breastfeeding and other issues can cause different problem areas that need to be addressed to achieve your desired goal.
