Mommy Makeover in Mansfield,
and Fort Worth Texas

At Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center, we offer the mommy makeover procedure. As a direct result of pregnancy, women may choose to undergo a mommy makeover procedure to restore and rejuvenate their breasts and abdomen, by combining a tummy tuck with breast cosmetic surgery — either a breast lift, breast augmentation, or breast reduction surgery.

Following pregnancy, women may develop mild to moderate muscle laxity and weakness of their lower abdomen (“pooch”) along with the development of stretch marks with loose and flabby skin. In addition, their breasts may undergo size fluctuations due to lactation-induced enlargement followed by breast deflation and atrophy. The mommy makeover is the perfect procedure that correct and rejuvenate both the tummy and the breasts at the same time.

Consultations are complimentary at Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center. We happily perform mommy makeover on clients from across the DFW Metroplex including, Mansfield, Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, Kennedale, Grand Prairie, Burleson, Corsicana, Ennis, Midlothian, Red Oak, Waxahachie, Corsicana, Duncanville, DeSoto Plano, and Tyler, Texas.

The extent of the mommy makeover procedure is directly related to the amount of excess skin, fat and laxity of the underlying abdominal muscles and the amount of postpartum deflation and breast atrophy. In circumstances where there is minimal abdominal muscle weakness and minimal skin excess, a mini tummy tuck may be performed. In addition, for clients requiring liposuction of the upper abdomen and flanks, a lipoabdominoplasty technique may be performed to provide the best aesthetic result. Cosmetic breast restoration is accomplished with either breast augmentation, breast mastopexy – breast lift, combination breast augmentation with mastopexy, or a breast reduction procedure.

What can I expect during my consultation?

During your consultation, you will meet privately and exclusively with Dr. Michael Thornton where you will collectively share in the decision making process about your personal needs, desires, and expectations. Although well qualified, we choose not use patient coordinators, nurse practitioners, or physicians assistants to perform your consultation.

Where will my surgery take place?

All mommy makeover procedures are performed at Baylor Surgicare at Mansfield, a AAAHC certified out-patient surgery center, located in Mansfield, Texas. On average, the procedure will take 4 – 5 hours to complete, depending upon the complexity of the case. For some clients, the tummy tuck procedure and the breast restoration procedure can be performed at the same time as a single-staged operation. However, clients with more complex figure distortions, the mommy makeover procedure is separated as a two-stage operation. This determination will be made on an individual basis. Furthermore, all mommy makeover procedures are performed using general anesthesia as provided by board-certified anesthesiologists. We do not perform or believe in performing ‘awake’ cosmetic surgery.
