Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a procedure that targets multiple areas of concern at once. We remove the loose lower abdominal skin and fat, utilize liposuction to contour the flanks, provide definition, and tighten the muscles to flat and restore your core muscle strength.
The end result is a tighter and more aesthetically pleasing contour.

Mommy Makeover FAQ
A Mommy Makeover is customizable to your specific and unique needs. It is typically a combination of procedures that address pregnancy-related changes. Most Mommy Makeovers target areas like the breasts, abdomen, waist, labia, and buttocks.
The answer to this question is different from one person to the next, but it is generally recommended that patients wait at least 6 months after giving birth to schedule a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body to heal and your weight to stabilize.
It is often possible to breastfeed after certain breast procedures, such as a breast lift or breast reduction. However, a breast augmentation with implants may affect your ability to breastfeed. Additionally, if you find breastfeeding uncomfortable during your recovery period, it may be difficult to maintain breastfeeding or pumping until you have healed, which could have an impact on how long you will be able to breastfeed.
The recovery period following a Mommy Makeover can vary from one person to the next, especially depending upon which procedures were performed. In general, most patients will need to take 1-2 weeks off work and limit strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks.
Parents of young children should try to have someone available who can perform physical tasks associated with parenting, including lifting, crawling, kneeling, and stretching.
It is difficult to give an estimate of how much a Mommy Makeover will cost, because the total is dependent upon which surgeries you choose. Fewer surgeries will result in a lower cost, but more surgeries at once will shorten your overall recovery time because you will recover from them simultaneously.
For a procedure with multiple surgeries, you can expect a baseline price of around $22,000 – $26,000. Please speak with your surgeon during your consultation to understand your options based on your budget.
Quintessa has five convenient locations in the Milwaukee area. You will find our offices in Brookfield, Delafield, Mequon, Middleton, and Sheboygan.
Some scarring is inevitable after surgical procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation. However, the plastic surgeons at Quintessa are skilled at placing incisions where they are least likely to be seen, such as below the bikini line. We use state-of-the-art techniques to minimize scarring as much as possible.
In general, it is safe to combine procedures into a single Mommy Makeover. However, our team at Quintessa will determine if you are a good candidate for some or all of the procedures that can be done in a Mommy Makeover.
The Mommy Makeover approach is safely practiced by plastic surgeons around the world as a convenient way to address multiple trouble areas with only one recovery period.
The results of a Mommy Makeover will last for many years, with appropriate diet and exercise. Maintaining your weight is an important part of preserving your surgical results for as long as possible. The aging process and additional pregnancies can also have an impact on your Mommy Makeover’s longevity.
