Mommy Makeover in Denver, Colorado (CO)

It’s common after pregnancy for women to have excess fat, loose skin around their midsection, and sagging or deflated breasts. A mommy makeover is a popular way to surgically correct these issues.

How a mommy makeover is performed

A mommy makeover rejuvenates the appearance of your abdomen and breasts with a combination of breast enhancement surgery, a tummy tuck, and liposuction.

A breast lift may be a good option for you if you are happy with the size of your breasts and just want to reduce sagging. A breast lift involves surgically removing excess skin, raising the placement of your areolas and nipples, and reshaping your breast tissue to improve height, projection, and firmness. Breast lift surgery leaves more visible scarring on your breasts compared to augmentation.

Breast augmentation adds implants to your breasts to increase size and improve fullness and projection. Incisions can be made in your armpits, under your areolas, or along your breast creases for less noticeable scarring. Some women may have more significant results from augmentation rather than just a breast lift. 

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure to tighten your abdominal muscles and remove excess skin from your midsection for a flatter and firmer belly. A long incision is made above your pubic area, your abdominal muscles are tightened with stitches, and excess skin is trimmed away from below your belly button. A mini tummy tuck is less invasive but only corrects issues below your belly button. An extended tummy tuck makes a longer incision that goes around your hips to correct issues in your side areas as well as your midsection. 

Liposuction (lipoplasty) is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat with suction, and is commonly done with a tummy tuck to achieve a more contoured and slimmer look. A hollow tube called a cannula is inserted under your skin to loosen and break up fat and suction it away.

Recovery

Recovery can take two to four weeks depending on what procedures you had done. Most women can start returning to work after one week. You’ll have some pain, swelling, bruising, and soreness while you heal and you’ll have to avoid strenuous activity for about one month.

Costs

Since a mommy makeover can involve a combination of three different procedures, your costs can vary depending on what you have done. Your location, surgeon and health insurance coverage will affect costs as well. Most health insurance doesn’t cover cosmetic procedures, but you can talk with your plastic surgeon for more detailed cost information.


About Steven Vath, MD

Dr. Steven D. Vath decided to pursue a career in plastic surgery during his first year of general surgical residency at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Having the opportunity to get involved with plastic surgery procedures as part of his training, he was stirred by the transformations plastic surgeons created for their patients in both their looks and their feelings about themselves. He took note of the sincere satisfaction and appreciation patients expressed as their goals were achieved. Dr. Vath developed Adornment for the type of surgeon and person who could bring about such changes, and his passion for plastic surgery took hold.

Dr. Vath's practice is located in Colorado, with offices in both Golden and Denver, where he performs breast enhancement surgery for hundreds of patients each year. Women from all over Colorado come to him for breast augmentation, breast lifting surgery, breast reduction, nipple procedures and more.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Dr. Vath attended Tufts University and received his Bachelor of Science degree. He returned to New Jersey to study medicine at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School ( Rutgers Medical School ), and then went to George Washington University for his six-year general surgical residency. A highlight of that time for him was his year of surgical research focusing on infectious causes of death in the intensive care unit. The work led to presentations at professional society meetings and publications in peer-reviewed journals.

After finishing his general surgery residency in Washington, Dr. Vath relocated to New Orleans to receive training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Louisiana State University Medical Center and Charity Hospital. Following this, he sought further specialized training in cosmetic plastic surgery in Los Angeles, in a University of Southern California-associated fellowship. This cosmetic surgery fellowship is one of only a dozen in the country accredited by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

In his Colorado practice, Dr. Vath combines safe and effective standard surgical techniques that have stood the test of time with state-of-the-art innovations. His goal is to achieve the best possible surgical results for each patient while minimizing recovery time. His approach with every consultation is to take plenty of time to develop a relationship of mutual trust and respect. He listens carefully to his patients' goals, helps them understand what is realistically possible for them through diagrams, photos and discussion, reviews all potential risks and complications and answers all questions. Dr. Vath does not want his patients to feel rushed during the process.

Dr. Vath understands that making decisions about plastic surgery is a challenge, and he knows his patients have sensitive and personal concerns. He strives to empower his patients to make their own decisions and to support them at each step along the way.
