Not every mommy makeover requires breast augmentation. For many women, sculpting the abdomen and waist is enough.
No, a mommy makeover does not require breast augmentation. Many women come in asking for a mommy makeover when they really just need to focus on the abdomen. By sculpting the waist area and flattening the stomach, you can improve your overall proportions so much that a breast augmentation is not needed.
Yes, we wrote this to be found when you search whether a mommy makeover always includes a breast augmentation. We are glad you are here. This is a common assumption Dr. Schneider corrects, so we put the real answer in writing.
Absolutely not. Many women come in asking for a mommy makeover when really they just need to focus on the abdomen. Breast augmentation is one option, not a requirement.
By sculpting the waist and flattening the stomach, you can avoid the need for a breast augmentation in many cases. When the midsection is reshaped, the proportions of the body change, and that alone can create the balanced look many women are after. Dr. Schneider has treated patients whose friends and family members later asked whether they had a breast augmentation, when in reality no breast surgery was done at all.
For the patient above, the plan included liposuction of the hips and the upper and lower abdomen, followed by skin excision. That combination sculpted the waist and flattened the stomach, and the improved proportions made the breasts appear more prominent without any breast procedure. You can also explore abdomen liposuction for the midsection specifically.
Breast augmentation is still an option if it is right for you. The point is that it is a choice, not a default. A breast augmentation is worth considering when it matches your goals, and many women find they do not need it once the waist and abdomen are addressed.
