Schedule a Consultation

For patients considering tummy tuck and breast augmentation in Reno, Nevada, JanigaMDs offers a comprehensive, medically grounded approach to surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care. Whether you are exploring a mommy makeover to address changes following pregnancy, or you are simply looking to refine your body contour after significant weight loss, our practice brings more than two decades of experience to every consultation. Our board-certified plastic surgeon works closely with each patient to develop individualized treatment plans aligned with your specific aesthetic goals. 

Cosmetic Surgery at JanigaMDs: A Full-Range Approach

JanigaMDs provides a full range of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures for patients throughout the Reno-Tahoe region. Our practice is built around the principle that surgical and non-surgical treatments should complement one another, delivering consistent, natural-looking results that align with each patient’s individual anatomy and goals.

Dr. Timothy Janiga is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring procedures, breast surgery, reconstructive surgery, and surgical interventions ranging from minimally invasive techniques to major surgery. Our team understands that choosing plastic surgery is a significant decision, and we approach every case with clinical rigor and an artistic eye.

Combining a Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation

A mommy makeover is one of the most commonly performed combination procedures at our practice. It typically addresses the physical changes that pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuation can bring to the breast and abdomen. Most mommy makeover plans include a combination of a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or breast lift, and liposuction to remove excess fat from stubborn pockets resistant to diet and exercise.

Because each body is different, no two mommy makeover plans are identical. During your consultation with Dr. Janiga, your concerns, body type, and long-term aesthetic goals will all be evaluated to determine the most appropriate combination of procedures for you.

Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address excess skin, abdominal skin laxity, and stretched abdominal muscles that often develop following pregnancy or significant weight loss. The procedure involves removing excess skin from the abdominal area while tightening the abdominal muscles to restore a more toned appearance.

It is important to understand that tummy tuck surgery is not a weight loss procedure. It is designed to address excess fat, stretch marks, and loose skin that remain after weight stabilization.

Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift

Breast augmentation enhances breast volume using breast implants, including gummy bear and saline implants, or silicone options, selected through a detailed consultation process. When breast ptosis is present, a breast lift may be recommended alongside or instead of augmentation to reposition the tissue and restore a more youthful breast contour.

Natural-looking breasts are the goal of every breast surgery we perform; Dr. Janiga applies both technical precision and an artistic eye to ensure outcomes that are proportionate and consistent with your overall physique. 

Who Are Good Candidates for These Procedures?

Many women who pursue a mommy makeover or individual body contouring procedures share similar concerns: changes to the breast and abdomen following pregnancy, difficulty achieving a toned appearance despite a healthy lifestyle, or skin laxity that has not responded to non-surgical treatments. 

Good candidates for plastic surgery at JanigaMDs generally:

  • Are in good overall health and at or near their ideal weight
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgical procedures
  • Are non-smokers or willing to quit prior to surgery to support proper healing
  • Have excess skin, excess fat, or stretched abdominal muscles that have not responded to lifestyle changes
  • Understand that swelling and recovery take time, and that final results develop gradually
  • Are not planning future pregnancies, as pregnancy can alter surgical results

Mothers who have completed their families and reached a stable weight are among those most commonly seeking these procedures.

What to Expect from Consultation to Recovery

During your initial appointment, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and the specific surgical procedure or procedures that may be appropriate for you. Our surgeons take the time to explain the surgical interventions being considered, including the healing process and how to prepare for your recovery.

Most patients who undergo a mommy makeover or tummy tuck surgery can expect a recovery period of several weeks before returning to normal activities. Swelling is common following surgery and may persist for several months. Individual recovery varies, and most patients return to light activity within two to three weeks, with more strenuous activity typically resumed after six weeks, depending on the scope of the surgical procedure.

An Experienced Plastic Surgeon and a Board-Certified Dermatologist in One Practice

JanigaMDs is a unique practice in the Reno-Tahoe area. Patients benefit from the expertise of both a board-certified plastic surgeon and a board-certified dermatologist working in a coordinated, collaborative environment. This is not a common combination, and it positions our practice to address a broader scope of aesthetic concerns than most surgical practices can offer.

Dr. Timothy Janiga brings specialized training and more than two decades of experience in plastic surgery, body contouring, reconstructive surgery, and breast surgery. Our practice is accessible to patients throughout the region and serves a diverse range of body types, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

Complementary Non-Surgical Treatments

For patients seeking to address facial volume, skin laxity, or residual concerns following surgery, our practice also offers a full range of non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments. Laser resurfacing, injectable treatments, and other non-surgical aesthetic treatments can support and extend the results of your surgical care. Our experienced plastic surgeon and dermatologist work together to ensure your treatment plan reflects a whole-person approach to aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mommy Makeover and Plastic Surgery in Reno, NV

What does a mommy makeover typically include?

A mommy makeover most commonly includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or breast lift, and liposuction to address excess fat or stubborn pockets in the abdomen and flanks. However, your specific plan will be determined during a mommy makeover consultation with Dr. Janiga based on your anatomy, health history, and desired results.

Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation in Reno, Nevada?

Patients who have completed their families and whose bodies have stabilized following pregnancy or weight loss are commonly evaluated for these surgeries. A consultation with Dr. Janiga will help determine whether surgical or non-surgical treatments are most appropriate for your situation.

How long is the recovery period after a mommy makeover?

Most patients take 2 to 4 weeks off work and light daily activities, with a more gradual return to exercise over 6 to 8 weeks. Your provider will give you detailed recovery guidance during your consultation.

Can a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?

A tummy tuck surgery can remove some stretch marks located on the abdominal skin that is excised during the procedure, particularly those on the lower abdomen. However, stretch marks located above the navel may remain. 

What is the difference between a breast augmentation and a breast lift?

Breast augmentation uses breast implants to increase or restore breast volume, while a breast lift repositions and reshapes existing breast tissue to address sagging or changes in breast contour. Some patients benefit from both procedures combined, particularly following pregnancy or weight loss. 

Is a thigh lift or liposuction included in a mommy makeover?

A thigh lift and liposuction can be incorporated into a mommy makeover plan, depending on your specific concerns and candidacy. Dr. Janiga will assess whether these additions are appropriate during your consultation.

Are non-surgical treatments available alongside plastic surgery at JanigaMDs?

Our practice offers a comprehensive range of non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments that complement surgical procedures or serve as standalone options. A consultation will help determine the right combination of surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments for you.
