Mommy Makeover
in Orlando, FL

Childbirth is an amazing and highly rewarding experience, but pregnancy can sometimes alter a woman’s body in such ways that diet and exercise just can’t fully repair. Located in Orlando, the Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Kendall Peters, MD, FACS, offers a combination of procedures known as the mommy makeover for women who live in Orange County and Central Florida.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Pregnancy has been shown to cause many changes to a woman's body, including stretch marks, lax muscles, large waistline, sagging breasts, loose flaccid stomach, and other unattractive alterations. The mommy makeover features a combination of cosmetic procedures that are designed to restore a woman’s physique after pregnancy and lactation. Because the mommy makeover is tailored to a woman's unique needs, the procedure is successful in reversing the physical effects of giving birth.

Mommy Makeover Before and After Gallery >>At the Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, the mommy makeover often consists of:

  • Breast Enhancement - Pregnancy and lactation can change the shape and size of the breasts; therefore, Dr. Peters often uses procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction to restore a woman’s natural firmness and fullness.
  • Tummy Tuck and Mini Tummy Tuck - A tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck are procedures that may eliminate embarrassing imperfections on a woman's body, such as stretch marks, scars, and sagging. These imperfections may have been caused by a C-section or other surgery. The procedure works by tightening loose skin and underlying muscle while extracting excess fat. The tummy tuck and mini tummy tuck offer satisfying results that are not typically achieved through diet and exercise.
  • Liposuction - Women who are looking to improve their body contour may be interested in liposuction, which slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits.
