Miami Mommy Makeover

Oftentimes, post-pregnancy patients struggle to regain their slender shape regardless of diet and exercise. In these circumstances, Constantino G. Mendieta, M.D., F.A.C.S. offers a combination of plastic surgery procedures termed a "Mommy Makeover." Miami area patients may anticipate a more youthful appearance following their surgeries.

What procedures are involved in a "Mommy Makeover"?

Based on the patient's individual needs and anatomy, Florida plastic surgeon Dr. Mendieta may perform a combination of breast surgery, liposuction, and tummy tuck surgery. Another increasingly popular procedure is butt augmentation ("buttocks enhancement"), which can be performed with buttock implants or through fat transfer ("Brazilian butt lift"); Dr. Mendieta's signature "Highlight Liposculpting and Lipo Fat Transfer" 3D approach allows him to accentuate a patient's curves and produce natural-looking results.

Women who have sagging breasts often choose to undergo breast lift surgery ("mastopexy") in order to lift them to a higher position in the chest wall. Incisions typically run vertically down the breasts and horizontally across in varied lengths. This can be done alone or with the use of breast implants. Dr. Mendieta can insert the implants through incisions made around the areola (nipple), in the breast crease, or through the armpit, which would reduce scarring for the patient.

Liposuction ("lipoplasty") can be performed on the stomach, lower back, hips, and thighs in order to provide a more slender silhouette. Through tiny incisions, Dr. Mendieta uses a long tube ("cannula") that is attached to a vacuum pump in order to remove excess fat deposits in the target area. Once removed, the fat cells can be harvested and injected into the buttocks to provide more volume.

Those who have loose, sagging skin in the abdomen may want to undergo tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"). Making a long incision along the lower abdomen, from hipbone to hipbone, Dr. Mendieta is able to separate the skin from the muscle. This allows him to tighten the underlying abdominal muscles and remove excess skin.
