Mommy Makeover in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is A Mommy Makeover?
Fredericksburg, VA plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki frequently consult with women who wish to regain their pre-pregnancy shape.

The most exciting news is that it's possible to reclaim a slim and taut appearance, thanks to the assistance of the mommy makeover surgical procedure performed at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg. The mommy makeover procedure uses a combination of liposuction and skin removal to target both the upper body (arms and breasts) and lower body (such as the tummy) — essentially, any area affected by nursing, weight gain or loss, etc. can be addressed.

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
Dr. Heppe, or as I have nicknamed him, Dr. Happy, is truly a world class plastic surgeon. I had originally booked with a different plastic surgeon and after have a bad gut feeling, I did some research and found unfavorable feedback on said dr. Still wanting the surgery, I researched all the plastic surgeons within the MD/VA area and felt drawn to Heppe's credentials as well as client reviews. Meeting him in person, I instantly felt at ease and knew he was the Dr. I wanted to perform my mommy makeover. I appreciated his completely platonic analysis of my body, focusing on medical aspects, while also sharing his recommendations and expectations. Given the fact that the first plastic surgeon I had booked with felt like a used cars salesman, Dr. Heppe's technique was more medical and realistic focused. I am 10 days post op and am in love with my results! If you are reading this review because you need assurance to use Dr. Heppe or the extra push to go for it, do it!! It will be a day you will celebrate where you regained your self confidence! Thank you to Dr. Heppe and his team for not only taking wonderful care of me but also being good sports in keeping up with the antics my post surgical care support (aka my crazy friends) and I put you through!
Dr. H Bautista is an honest PS who has his patients' best interest in mind. I knew that him and his team would be my best choice from the minute I met them. Dr. B’s work was excellent and worth it. The experience and results were phenomenal. You will not regret your decision to work with Dr. Bautista. I highly recommend him if you are looking for high quality and a smooth process from beginning to end. I’m only 6 weeks PO and i love my results already.
I was debating whether or not I wanted to get a tummy tuck for SO many years. I had serious reservations on doing an elective surgery as a mom of 3. I did several consults in VA and MA. Just when my mind was almost set for a doctor in Tyson’s, I found out about Dr.Aflaki from my neighbor. My neighbor looked amazing after her mommy makeover so I immediately called Dr. Aflaki ‘s office. I booked a consult for that same week. The whole process was explained and he answered a plethora of questions I had. Two weeks later I called and wanted a consult for a breast augmentation. They fit me right in for my consult and added it my surgery date which had already been scheduled. I look and feel AMAZING! I can’t even believe how amazing my results have been. The next day ant my follow up appt after taking off my bandages, I cried. I was so blown away by how amazing my results were just 24 hours later. I have absolutely no regrets and only wish I'd done it sooner. I would 100% recommend Dr.Aflaki if considering plastic surgery!!

Am I A Candidate for A Mommy Makeover?
Ideal candidates for this surgery are women who have gone through pregnancy and childbirth and have worked to get a younger-looking and tighter body through diet and exercise with little result. In many post-pregnancy cases, surgery is necessary to get their pre-pregnancy body. If you have completed childbearing but are unhappy with the effects remaining on your body, such as sagging breasts, loose abdominal skin, or undesirable areas of pockets of fat in the lower back, flanks, and buttocks, a mommy makeover procedure could help you. The overall goal of Dr. Heppe is to help you get back to your pre-pregnancy body so you can get back to living life without additional concerns about your body.
Mommy Makeover FAQ
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
Mommy makeovers can vary in price based on which procedures are included in the surgical plan. During your consultation, our team will learn about the concerns you want to address, build a treatment plan, and review what you can expect in terms of cost. A mommy makeover is an investment in reclaiming your confidence after having children, so it's best to concentrate on getting amazing results rather than shopping for the lowest cost. Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg takes many payment methods and we give you information on finding low-interest financing to make your mommy makeover affordable.
How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?
During your consultation, our team will listen to your needs and concerns before performing a physical examination. Following this, we can make recommendations on what to include in your treatment plan. Typically, women select a breast surgery (an augmentation, lift, or both) plus a tummy tuck and liposuction.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
Childbirth and pregnancy are hard on your body, so nonsurgical treatments are usually not enough to produce noticeable improvements. In your consultation, our providers will go over both surgical and nonsurgical options. After listening to your concerns and goals, they will tell you if procedures like nonsurgical liposuction (for example, CoolSculpting) or another treatment might be helpful for you.
Will I have scars?
While a mommy makeover gives you a rejuvenated shape, it does include some scarring, which is normal for any surgery. Your surgeon will make every effort possible to create clean, small incisions. Most scars that result from this surgery will be able to be concealed with swimsuits and underwear. When reviewing your post-surgical care instructions, one of our team members will go over scar care so your sutures heal and fade.
What if I get pregnant again?
In a perfect world, you should wait to have a mommy makeover until your family is complete so your results are not compromised. In most cases, all treated areas of your body are at risk for stretching out if a subsequent pregnancy were to occur. If you have another child after a mommy makeover, a second surgery may be done to refresh your results.
