“I had a lot of sagging skin, stretch marks, and a messed-up belly button from having kids. I also wanted my breasts back to a pre-mommy look, and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor.”


Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the breasts and abdomen in ways that diet and exercise can't always reverse. A mommy makeover is not one operation but a personalized combination of procedures — most commonly a breast augmentation or lift together with a tummy tuck and liposuction — chosen for your body and your goals.
Combining procedures into a single plan means one recovery instead of several. At your consultation, Dr. Carlin will talk through which combination is safe and appropriate for you, and build the plan around the results you want.
