A Mommy Makeover is a combination of body contouring procedures that usually includes: a breast lift with possible augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and sometimes thigh contouring. Many moms are frustrated that even after resuming an active lifestyle and maintaining a stable weight after pregnancy - diet and exercise do not affect parts of their post-pregnancy figures. Often changes in a woman's body may be factors beyond her control - like skin elasticity (stretch marks), breast feeding, and heredity.

Dr. Loren Schechter's passion is helping women look and feel their best at any stage of their lives; helping them regain confidence and feel revitalized. He is a careful expert - creating a totally balanced aesthetic for each individual woman's body type and personality.

Depending on the extent of the tummy tuck or other procedures, most moms can resume light activities after a few days, and return to normal activities of child care and work after one week.
