More Women Are Saying “Yes” To Mommy Makeover, A Study Finds
A 2015 study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that more women are interested in Mommy Makeover surgery to maintain a more youthful figure after childbirth. The study looked at women’s motivations for undergoing contouring after pregnancy. Results showed that patients and their struggles with their appearance were often due to changes in their abdomen and breasts – two regions most visibly affected by pregnancy.
Becoming a mother is considered one of life’s most beautiful moments. But many women struggle with the way their bodies change after seeing their post-pregnancy figure.
A Mommy Makeover is a catch-all term that refers to a specific combination of multiple procedures for body contouring. At Memorial Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced treatments at our facilities in Houston and Clear Lake, TX for women who want to restore their bodies to their pre-pregnancy look and shape.

What Are The Benefits of Mommy Makeover?
One reason the Mommy Makeover is so sought after is that it is a great way to enjoy multiple benefits at once, including:
- Flattening, tightening, and thinning of the abdomen
A tummy tuck is a common part of a Mommy Makeover because it effectively removes loose skin, tightens the abdominal muscles, and gives a slimmer, flatter look around the midsection. - Restoring a youthful bounce to your breasts
A breast lift addressed the excess skin and drooping breasts in order to return them to a higher, more natural position on your chest. This procedure can remove excess skin and tissue from the breasts that may be weighing them down. - Say goodbye to stubborn fat
Liposuction combined with surgical procedures can transform your body and give you a firm, defined shape. Liposuction can remove excess fat from stubborn fat deposits in the body through a suction method that helps women achieve a more sculpted and toned look.

Surprisingly, Mommy Makeover Also Has Emotional & Psychological Benefits
While the physical benefits of a Mommy Makeover are apparent, the emotional benefits of a mommy makeover allow them to live better lives.
What drives many women to undergo a Mommy Makeover is the reward of a renewed sense of self. This can reverse many psychological problems such as depression and loss of sex drive.
Many women feel sexy again with a Mommy Makeover and have a much better mood afterward. This leads to them being less irritable and feeling happier in general. This improved outlook benefits them, their families, and those around them. It also sends the message that moms deserve to look and feel their best.
