Body changes during pregnancy - Mendoza Plastic Surgery

Pregnancy is one of the most transformative experiences in a woman’s life. Along with all its beauty, it also brings significant emotional, mental, and physical changes. Over the course of nine months, your Body Changes During Pregnancy.

While some of these changes resolve naturally after the baby is born, many do not. It’s common for women to face challenges such as abdominal laxity, localized fat, breast volume loss, and decreased skin elasticity.

At Mendoza Plastic Surgery, we understand how impactful the postpartum stage can be. That’s why we offer treatments and procedures specifically designed to help you care for your body and reconnect with your best self, without losing sight of what matters most: your well-being.

What physical body changes during pregnancy?

Every woman’s body is unique, and postpartum changes can vary, but here are some of the most common:

• A swollen or sagging abdomen due to skin stretching and separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).
• Loss of volume or sagging in the breasts caused by hormonal shifts and breastfeeding.
• Fat accumulation in the abdomen, lower back, hips, or thighs due to pregnancy weight gain.
• Stretch marks and loss of skin firmness.
• Pelvic floor weakness or changes in the intimate area, often resulting from the weight of the baby or vaginal delivery.

While diet and exercise can help, they’re not always enough, especially for issues like excess skin or muscle separation. That’s where medical and cosmetic treatments can make a real difference.

Surgical procedures to restore and care for your body

1. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

This procedure addresses abdominal sagging, removes excess skin, and repairs muscles weakened or separated by pregnancy. It’s one of the most popular post-baby surgeries, restoring firmness and contour to the midsection.

2. Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s often combined with a tummy tuck for more balanced, harmonious results.

3. Breast Lift or Augmentation

A Breast Lift or Augmentation helps restore volume and correct sagging breasts, especially after breastfeeding. Implants can help bring back a youthful, natural-looking shape.

4. Mommy Makeover

The Mommy Makeover combines multiple surgeries, such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast enhancement, into one. It’s designed to address your unique post-pregnancy concerns and restore your figure in a comprehensive way.

5. Skin Treatments

Hormonal shifts can affect the skin before, during, and after pregnancy. We offer advanced treatments such as laser therapy, and skin-tightening procedures like Morpheus8 and BodyTite to improve texture, reduce stretch marks, and boost collagen production.

Getting your figure back isn’t about vanity; it’s a way to take care of yourself, reconnect with your body, and recover from the many changes pregnancy brings. It’s a way to restore the confidence that can sometimes be lost during the new challenges of motherhood.

At Mendoza Plastic Surgery, we support you every step of the way with personalized, compassionate, and expert care.
