Motherhood is one of the greatest experiences this life has to offer. Your body has earned the “Badges of Motherhood”: sagging and deflated breasts, a little extra bulge here and there, stretch marks, a loose tummy, and a six-pack nowhere in sight. Although wonderful, motherhood does take a toll on your body. Sometimes the crunches and sit-ups won’t help restore it to the body you used to know. However there is a way to help Get That Body Back… it is called “The Mommy Makeover.”
This popular term refers to the rejuvenation of a woman’s body after childbearing. Maintaining your current figure can be challenging with pregnancy, weight gain and breastfeeding but it doesn't have stop there! You may experience stretch marks on skin that's now more exposed than before. Perhaps you have uneven pigmentation patches caused by hormones during this time period too. Learn how our medical professionals make sure their patients get back into shape post-childbirth through a series of procedures.

Expect to take at least two weeks off of work for initial recovery.

Facelift vs. Facial Resurfacing:
A facelift is distinct from procedures like dermabrasion, lasers, and chemical peels.
Facial resurfacing focuses on superficial skin changes with very limited tightening.
Resurfacing is ideal for treating "fine wrinkles" rather than structural sagging.
Resurfacing cannot match the dramatic results achieved with Facial Rejuvenation Surgery.

What to Avoid (Results You DON'T Want)
The "Windblown" Look: A tight, over-pulled appearance that acts as a giveaway for years.
Ear Deformities: Tethered earlobes or a shortened/absent tragus (the "trap door" over the ear canal).
Hairline Alterations: Shortened or missing sideburns that create a noticeable "white wall" look.
The "Quickie" Procedure: Fast techniques that often result in lesser improvement over a much shorter timeframe.

What to Expect (Results You DO Want):
Significant Age Reversal: Results that typically keep you looking younger for 10+ years.
Dramatic Transformation: Some patients feel their appearance has reversed by 15 to 20 years compared to "before" photos.
Enhanced Well-being: A more youthful look often leads to a more positive outlook on life.
Sustainable Maintenance: Combining the surgery with a healthy diet and regular exercise helps maintain results and prevents weight gain from showing in the face.

*All post-operative pictures are of real patients of Fairbanks Plastic Surgery. Identifiable images are used with patient or parent of patient permission.
A Mommy Makeover is a multi-procedure process that addresses the concerns of women who are expecting or have given birth. The classic list of procedures include one that address the abdomen, breasts and buttocks in order correct any imbalances from months spent carrying children!
Breast rejuvenation may include a simple breast lift (mastopexy) for those women happy with their size but unhappy with the shaping of it. By tightening skin and repositioning tissue, we're able to return you back into someone who has youthful looking breasts again while also bringing up your nipple so that they are more forward-facing than before!
Breasts are an important part of a woman's body and breastfeeding can have some interesting side effects. Breastfeeding can cause the size and shape of your breasts to change. In some cases, they shrink back while other women have them stay large after breastfeeding.
The result of a tummy tuck procedure can be dramatic, whether it's for loose skin or fat that has accumulated due to pregnancy. The abdomen is typically treated in this manner because abdominal muscles have been pulled apart by childbirth and weight gain over time.
Lastly, some woman may also opt for liposuction to address areas of their body that aren't responding well to exercise, such as the thighs or flanks.
