Mommy Makeover "Who, What, When" | Dr. Christine Stewart

Dr. Christine Stewart discusses three of the biggest questions about the Mommy Makeover procedure:
- "What is a Mommy Makeover"
- "Who benefits from one?"
- "When is the right time for a Mommy Makeover?"
A Mommy Makeover depends on the patient and her specific goals. In general, a Mommy Makeover refers to two or more procedures performed under anesthesia at the same time. These procedures usually fall under four different categories:
- Tummy Tuck (or abdominoplasty)
- Breast Surgery (breast augmentation with or without lift or a breast reduction)
- Liposuction
- Labiaplasty
Dr. Stewart weighs in on the 7 most common Mommy Makeover questions: • 7 Questions About Momm...
Motherhood changes a woman both mentally and physically. Some of these changes are readily embraced, like the joy of a growing family and the day-to-day wonderment of seeing your child’s personality blossom. But with those remarkable changes in daily life can also come some that make a woman feel unlike herself and diminish her confidence in her appearance. From deflated breasts to stretch marks and a sagging midsection, these physical changes can make a new mom feel unattractive and have a negative impact on this otherwise amazing time in her life. Mommy Makeover not only reshapes a woman’s body after having children, but it can also reshape her outlook on life and motherhood.
Dr. Christine Stewart has known that she wanted to be a physician since the first grade. While the rest of her classmates cringed and gasped during a video of an open-heart surgery during science class, she found herself transfixed and fascinated by how the heart works. Her weekly trip to the public library soon filled her bookbag with illustrated anatomy books instead of popular children’s books. Her mother soon found herself reading passages about the skeletal system aloud at bedtime instead of fairytales. This infatuation with the human body and how it functions quickly evolved into a passion that sharply steered the course of Christine’s life towards a career in medicine.
