Detroit Mommy Makeover

Women who have undergone multiple pregnancies are oftentimes left with undesirable side effects, such as sagging breasts and a stretched abdomen. In order to regain the slender figure they once had, many post-pregnancy patients choose to undergo multiple plastic surgery procedures. At North Oakland Plastic Surgery, Richard Hainer, M.D., F.A.C.S. is an experienced Detroit "Mommy Makeover" specialist who provides impeccable care, individualized attention, and consistently excellent results.

What procedures are involved in the "Mommy Makeover" procedure?

During your visit, Dr. Hainer will examine your trouble areas and discuss the various options available to you. The most commonly performed procedures include breast lift surgery ("mastopexy"), tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"), and liposuction ("lipoplasty"). He offers the "single incision Mommy Makeover," which is an abdominoplasty that is performed via the transumbilical (via the belly-button, the so-called TUBA procedure) incision – an incision used for breast implant insertion. Depending on each patient's desires and anatomy, Dr. Hainer will create a personalized treatment plan in order to produce satisfying, natural-looking results.

A breast lift can be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation ("augmentation mammaplasty") if the patient wishes to increase the size of her breasts with breast implants. Should our Rochester, MI "Mommy Makeover" surgeon determine that breast implants are sufficient, he will place either saline or silicone gel breast implants above (subglandular) or below the breast muscle (submuscular). Incisions are minimal in comparison to those associated with a breast lift and provide the patient less scarring after surgery. Further information on incision options are discussed during your visit.

To correct stretched-out abdominal muscles and eliminate sagging skin, Dr. Hainer performs tummy tuck surgery. A mini abdominoplasty is designed for those with minimal drooping skin, focusing on the area below the belly button. Those who require more extensive removal of excess skin and tightening of the muscles will likely undergo a full tummy tuck. This entails a long incision in the lower abdomen that extends from hipbone to hipbone, and a new opening for the belly button is commonly necessary. Typically, scars for either technique are easily hidden with underwear and bathing suit styles.

Further contouring is achieved through liposuction. Dr. Hainer can perform lipoplasty on the arms, lower back, abdomen, and thighs. A long tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny incisions in the target area and is hooked up to a vacuum pump in order to suction excess fat deposits. Dr. Hainer will discuss the various techniques available during a consultation regarding your "Mommy Makeover" plastic surgery.
