Mommy makeover is a set of surgical procedures performed to eliminate deformations in various areas, especially in the abdomen, breast, genital area, due to pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. Deformations such as stretch marks, wrinkles, sagging, collapse and deformities are eliminated with maternity aesthetics, allowing the person to reach her pre-natal form. With combined surgeries, effective results can be obtained in a shorter time and body contours are reshaped.
