Rediscover Your Confidence: Mommy Makeover Options in Charleston

For Charleston mothers who want to address the physical changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding, a mommy makeover at Port City Plastic Surgery offers a personalized solution. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brian G. Widenhouse creates customized treatment plans combining procedures like tummy tucks, breast lifts, and liposuction to help women reclaim their pre-pregnancy confidence.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure, it’s a tailored combination of surgeries designed to address various post-pregnancy changes. These include breast sagging, loss of volume, or asymmetry; abdominal concerns such as stretched skin, stubborn fat, or muscle separation; and body contouring to address pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Widenhouse carefully evaluates each patient’s unique needs during consultations at our Charleston practice.

Popular Mommy Makeover Procedures

Most patients choose a combination of procedures, including tummy tucks, breast lifts or augmentations, liposuction, and sometimes labiaplasty. These procedures are designed to restore a more youthful appearance and improve physical comfort by addressing changes from childbirth.
