Mommy Makeover

Introduction to Mommy Makeover

When you learn you’re pregnant, you must prepare for many temporary changes, like a growing belly and enlarged breasts, but many women aren’t prepared for the permanent changes pregnancy can bring after the baby arrives. A sagging tummy, deflated breasts, and stubborn fat pockets can linger long after childbirth and drastically affect a new mom’s self-esteem. At Somenek + Pittman MD, we offer a way for mothers in Washington, D.C., to reclaim their confidence and restore their bodies with the Mommy Makeover.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a customized set of procedures designed to address the physical changes resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. These often include:

Breast volume loss or sagging
Abdominal laxity or loose skin
Stubborn fat around the flanks, thighs, arms, or abdomen

Mommy makeovers aren’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. Couture care is the cornerstone of our practice, and Dr. Pittman customizes each surgical plan to address your exact areas of concern.

I had high expectations and they were exceeded at every turn.

Dr. Pittman and his team are the best there is. He presented options to me I hadn’t even considered! After my initial consult I had more questions and they got me in swiftly and answered them all. The office, surgical suite and staff are 11/10. I felt safe and cared for. Dr Pittman even called me himself the next day to check in! On top of all of that, I couldn’t be happier with my results.
