Understanding the Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy can dramatically alter the look and feel of your body. Many of these changes are permanent, and no amount of diet and exercise will restore your pre-baby appearance. All moms deserve to feel beautiful and confident about their looks.

What Can a Mommy Makeover Correct?

Breast Appearance

Restore SD Plastic Surgery offers customized procedures to help women restore breast shape and volume following pregnancy. Breast augmentation, lift, or a combination can address sagging and lost volume.

Abdominal Restoration

Rapid belly stretching during pregnancy can lead to skin and muscle laxity. A tummy tuck can help restore abdominal definition and eliminate excess skin.

Fat Reduction

Pregnancy often results in stubborn fat deposits. Liposuction can permanently remove unwanted fat and help contour your body, targeting areas like the stomach, hips, and thighs.

Typical Mommy Makeover Procedures

  • Breast Augmentation
  • Breast Lift
  • Tummy Tuck
  • Liposuction
  • Optional Additional Treatments

Recovery Expectations

Most patients return to work within 2-3 weeks. However, physical activities should be limited for 4-6 weeks. Major swelling typically subsides within 6-8 weeks.

Procedure Costs

Mommy makeover surgery starts at $17,000, with exact pricing dependent on individual treatment plans and specific procedures.

Ideal Candidates

  • Completed childbearing
  • BMI of 35 or less
  • Non-smoker
  • Desire to restore pre-pregnancy body contours

My wife’s chin was beautiful even after the first few days. This is a professionally run first class surgical operation. They’ve accounted for every contingency. Dr. Gillis made herself available 24 seven for my wife’s questions. Special compliments to Ava, Ila, Rachel, and Cynthia,

I can’t say enough great things about Restore! I first connected with Dr. Chao for an ear lobe repair. I’m only 6 weeks post-op and they are healing to perfection. I am so thankful to her and the team for making the process easy, painless, and supportive. Dr. Chao even texted me later that day after the procedure to check in, which I thought was so sweet. Next, I received a Diamond Glow facial with Cinthia and I am beyond happy! My skin feels so fresh and clean. So thankful to the Restore team and would recommend them for all your beauty needs.

I got my earlobes snatched up (earlobe repair) with Dr Chao and Bri assisted, they made the experience so easy and fun! The whole process took about an hour and was very straightforward. 10/10 Would recommend!

i came to sd restore for a consultation with dr. gallus last august. she was extremely unprofessional and asked me a very inappropriate question. she giggled while asking me if i was part of the adult video industry(p^rn) because she thought that was why i was inquiring about a specific surgery. that question made me extremely uncomfortable and i almost wanted to cry. after this, i left her a 1 star review with no explanation so she called me and acted confused as to why i did that and when i told her, she tried to change her words and say she was implying that i was a model which is completely untrue because i remember her exact words very clearly and those were not it. dr. gallus then apologized repeatedly to me on the phone but it was obvious she only did that because she was hoping that i would take down the 1 star review but i didn’t and i won’t. once she realized the review was staying up, she had her team reply to it a few days later stating her certifications, experience and the number of surgeries she’s performed which doesn’t even matter if she lacks professionalism, empathy and reassurance. i’m updating my review because whenever i think about this consultation, i still get very bothered by it. it took a lot for me to go in there for a consultation and i left feeling disrespected and defeated. it is not ok for a plastic surgeon to ask that type of question and its insulting to me as a person because i would never do anything like that. i think it is very self-degrading so the fact that she felt comfortable enough to ask me that question and thought there was a chance i’d say yes made me feel extremely disrespected and offended. with all that being said, i highly recommend and encourage you all to explore your options and go to other consultations before settling on this surgeon just because she’s a female. i ended up having the surgery elsewhere with a male plastic surgeon and he made me feel way more comfortable than dr. gallus ever did. i have no regrets about seeking the surgery with him i’m so happy with my results and i’m so glad i chose to trust and proceed with him.
