Dr. Landis and his team are proud to help patients achieve their cosmetic goals with this extensive and customized procedure.
Procedures Included in Your Mommy Makeover
Mommy makeover refers to a combination of aesthetic treatments designed to enhance beauty-after-baby, but each treatment is not a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all operation. Patients can choose from a variety of procedures designed to correct the after-effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding. While treatment plans are unique, many consist of surgeries to shape and smooth skin, while adding volume to breasts. During your consultation, Dr. Landis reviews your concerns and expectations before determining the best way to meet your needs with cosmetic surgery.
These treatments and others are designed to alleviate the following issues commonly experienced after motherhood:
- Excess skin on the stomach
- Separation of abdominal muscles
- Drooping breast skin
- Lack of breast volume
Treatments are often completed concurrently, to help patients save time in surgery and during recovery. Dr. Landis understands that mothers are parts of busy families and cannot afford to take too much time away from work, childcare, and routine activities, like picking children up from school. Arranging for childcare for extended periods can also be cost-prohibitive. You can finish your tummy tuck, and breast enhancement surgery in one surgical visit, so you can take these aesthetic issues off your list of concerns.

Customizing your Minneapolis Mommy Makeover with Dr. Landis
When determining your treatment plan, Dr. Landis will recommend procedures which best fit the correction you need. The following operations are the most common; however, your cosmetic goals may include additional treatments, like injectables, to improve skin tone and reduce facial lines. Consider the procedures below as they may apply to your aesthetic concerns:
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tissue in the lower abdomen, and Dr. Landis can remove small fat deposits as well, but a tummy tuck is not a fat removal surgery on its own. Additional benefits of a mommy makeover include realignment of vertical stomach muscles that are often displaced as the abdomen expands during pregnancy. Improved strength of the abdominal wall allows patients to develop better muscle tone and prevents the risk of Hiatal hernias.
A breast lift raises the position of the breast on the chest wall. This surgery is intended to improve breast position but does not increase cup size. If patients want to increase breast fullness or add volume to the upper pole (cleavage), Dr. Landis can include implants or fat transfer (breast augmentation). He offers both silicone and saline implants, depending on your goals and body shape. Nipple position can also be enhanced with this procedure, resulting in those youthful breasts that have an upward curve.
Weight fluctuations can leave you with persistent fat deposits that are difficult to eradicate through diet and exercise. Liposuction is a particular fat removal procedure that can slim problem areas of stubborn fat. Common treatment areas include the inner thighs, arms, stomach, and hips. Patients should be near their ideal weight before this procedure is performed to ensure the best results. Liposuction is not a comprehensive weight-loss procedure, but a body sculpting operation Dr. Landis can use to shape your body into a pleasing body outline.
