Pregnancy and childbirth transform the body in remarkable ways, but for many women who’ve had a C-section, certain changes can be more resistant to time and effort. From stretched abdominal muscles to lingering scarring and skin laxity, these concerns often persist long after recovery. A mommy makeover with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Funt offers a sophisticated solution — strategically designed to enhance post-pregnancy contours and address the unique effects of a Cesarean delivery with natural, balanced results.
How a C-Section Influences Your Mommy Makeover Plan
A C-section incision is typically made low on the abdomen, and while it’s carefully closed, some women are left with a visible scar, skin shelf, or separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Fortunately, these concerns can be seamlessly addressed as part of a personalized mommy makeover with Dr. Funt. In many cases, the tummy tuck portion of the makeover can remove the C-section scar while tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin for a firmer, smoother midsection.
Dr. Funt carefully evaluates your abdominal area and surrounding tissue to determine the safest and most effective surgical approach. His refined technique allows him to sculpt the waistline, restore core contour, and create an outcome that complements your body’s natural shape.
What Can Be Included in a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. It typically includes a tummy tuck, breast enhancement (lift, augmentation, or both), and liposuction to target stubborn fat. For C-section patients, Dr. Funt may tailor the tummy tuck to ensure optimal healing along the previous scar line while minimizing visible incisions. Every procedure is designed to work in harmony, helping patients look refreshed, balanced, and confident.
When to Consider Surgery After a C-Section
Most women are advised to wait at least six months to one year after childbirth before undergoing a mommy makeover. This allows your body to fully heal, hormone levels to stabilize, and weight to return to a natural baseline. Dr. Funt works closely with you to determine the right timeline based on your individual healing process and family planning goals.
