Pregnancy can have long-lasting effects on a woman’s body and appearance. While dedication to diet and exercise can help minimize some of these effects, it’s not always enough. Many women still experience changes, including sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, laxity of the abdominal wall, stubborn fat, and a wrinkly appearance to the skin on the abdomen.
Fortunately, the mommy makeover procedure can help. This comprehensive surgical procedure includes a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures like body contouring surgeries and breast surgery to improve skin laxity and body contours in areas most commonly affected after giving birth and breastfeeding. Dr. Janiga prioritizes natural-looking results that restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy shape to boost their confidence.
JanigaMDs offers two different surgical techniques for mommy makeovers, focusing on different options for breast enhancement in conjunction with other body contouring procedures. These options include:
We perform breast lifts in our Reno outpatient surgery center with the patient under general anesthesia. It involves an incision around the areola and, depending on the extent of lift needed, may require incisions under the breasts as well. Excess breast tissue will be removed, and the remaining tissues will be re-sculpted and lifted to create more elevated and rounded breasts. Then, the tummy tuck is performed. Tummy tucks generally involve a horizontal incision made along the bikini line to remove excess skin and fat and tighten stretched abdominal muscles. By removing this loose skin, some stretch marks can also be removed. Occasionally, liposuction is used in conjunction with the tummy tuck to help contour the hip and flank region.
As in the procedure above,a tummy tuck is performed and can be combined with a breast augmentation or a breast augmentation with a lift in our Reno outpatient surgery center under general anesthesia. It involves an incision either around the areola, under the breast, or, if a lift is needed, may require an additional incision under the breasts. Silicone or saline breast implants are placed either under the muscle or breast gland to improve the overall breast shape and increase breast volume. The choice of implant and implant placement will be discussed during the initial consultation with Dr. Janiga.
Dr. Timothy Janiga is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience and countless patient success stories. His calm, expert, and meticulous approach has transformed the lives of both cosmetic and reconstruction patients, helping them feel good in their bodies. Dr. Janiga is an expert in all aspects of plastic surgery and specializes in cosmetic facial surgery, body contouring, and breast surgery.
All cosmetic procedures begin with a consultation at JanigaMDs, which usually takes less than an hour. Dr. Timothy Janiga will assess the mommy makeover patient’s medical history, examine their physical anatomy, and discuss their goals in detail to develop a personalized surgical plan. Ideal candidates are in overall good health, non-smokers, and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Since additional weight gain after surgery can cause new development of loose skin and excess fat, it is recommended that patients are at their ideal weight and do not plan to have more children after their procedure.
The mommy makeover is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can return home the day of their procedure. Dr. Janiga will make incisions in each treatment area and place them in areas that can be easily concealed. Extra skin will be trimmed away, liposuction will be used to remove stubborn pockets of fat, and the remaining skin and tissues will be lifted, contoured, and sutured in place to create a more toned appearance with enhanced body contours.
I have been seeing Dr. Jennifer for quite a few years now for everything from suspicious moles to acne to now the fun, confidence boosting, not look my age stuff. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and efficiency of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility, Dr. Jen’s knowledge and skill and my results!
My experience with Dr. Janiga and his office, has been excellent in every way. From office visits to surgery, post-op, scheduling. It’s all been absolutely professional and worth every penny.
As a patient of both Dr. Jennifer and Tim Janiga, I have the utmost praise for the care I have received. They are fantastic at what they do. The attention to detail and going ‘above and beyond’ is very much appreciated.
After a mommy makeover, patients are advised to rest at home for 1-2 weeks during the initial recovery period. Patients must avoid strenuous activities for six weeks to avoid stretching the healing chest and stomach muscles. Dr. Janiga typically does not want patients to lift more than 10 pounds for the first six weeks post-operative due to the abdominal wall surgery. Moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected and can be alleviated with prescription pain medication provided by Dr. Janiga. Compression garments may also need to be worn for the first few weeks to minimize swelling and aid in the healing process.
Depending on your obligations and profession, your return to work can be expected within two to six weeks. Dr. Timothy Janiga will examine you during your post-op visits and advise when you can return to work and other activities. Results are immediate, but full recovery is expected within 6-12 weeks. With a mommy makeover, you can expect more youthful and shapely breasts and a tighter, slimmer waistline and abdomen.
