Mommy Makeover
Restore Your Body. Reclaim Your Confidence.
Pregnancy and motherhood are life-changing—and so are the changes they bring to your body. At Heartland Plastic Surgery, we understand that while motherhood is beautiful, it can leave behind lasting physical effects that don’t always respond to diet and exercise. A Mommy Makeover in Wichita is a customized combination of procedures designed to help you feel like yourself again—strong, confident, and comfortable in your body.
Dr. Biskup and our experienced team are here to help you restore your pre-baby shape with personalized care and natural-looking results.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that focuses on the areas most affected by pregnancy-related and weight loss-related changes
— typically the breasts and abdomen, but it can include other contouring procedures as well.
The procedure’s goals are to reverse post-partum changes to your body and help you regain confidence in the way you look!
Common procedures in a Mommy Makeover:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Tightens loose abdominal muscles and removes excess skin.
- Breast lift, augmentation, or reduction: Restores breast shape, volume, and symmetry.
- Liposuction: Removes stubborn fat deposits for improved body contour.
- Buttock lift or augmentation
- Brachioplasty
- Thigh Lift
- Labial rejuvenation, or skin treatments to enhance overall results.
