One of the greatest gifts in life, children, can also do the body the most harm. In the process of making room for your little one, you may have found that you put on fat and your muscles and skin have stretched. The truth for many new and experienced mothers is that they now lack confidence with their post-baby body. The Mommy Makeover is designed to restore firm skin and toned, youthful contours along with your self-esteem.
Best Candidates
- Women in good general health who are finished having children
- Women who have experienced breast volume loss and tissue sagging
- Women with loose abdominal muscles and skin
- Women with stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise cannot correct
Mommy Makeover Procedures
Breast Augmentation
Pregnancy and nursing can decrease the volume of a woman’s breasts. Breast augmentation uses implants to increase the size and reshape breasts that are either naturally too small or that have lost adequate volume. Gaining larger breasts helps many mothers feel sexier.
Some patients may also benefit from adding a breast lift to the breast augmentation.
Learn MoreBreast Lift
The swelling of the breasts during pregnancy and breastfeeding can weaken the breast tissue and lead to eventual sagging. Breast lift surgery is best suited for women who have a pleasing breast size but whose tissues have begun to droop. Lifting the breasts can restore them to a perky, youthful projection.
A breast augmentation can be added to a breast lift to improve fullness and volume.
Learn MoreTummy Tuck
The abdominal muscles and skin stretch to accommodate a growing baby. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to restore tissue elasticity through diet and exercise. Tummy tuck surgery tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin. This helps moms reclaim their toned, pre-pregnancy bellies.
Learn MoreLiposuction
It is common to store fat during pregnancy that is difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise. Liposuction uses a thin tube to suction out fatty tissue that has accumulated around the abdomen, hips, thighs, back, and arms. The removal of this fat helps restore a slimmer, youthful silhouette.

Patient Reviews
THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL
I feel that the whole experience was wonderful I wouldn’t change a thing. I researched a couple of Doctors in the area and had a couple of consultations but Dr. Taleisnik made me feel very comfortable when I meet him and didn’t push procedures that I did not need. This is why I picked him. This has got to be the BEST thing I have ever done for myself. Dr. Taleisnik is wonderful I could not have picked a better doctor. He listened to me and did only what was required and nothing more just for the sake of it$$$$. I had both a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation. Dr. Taleisnik was very attentive to be before and especially after my procedure and keep me very comfortable after the procedure. I love my improved body thanks to Dr. Taleisnik. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks again Dr. Taleisnik for improving my life.
