What Are the Top 3 Most Effective and Efficient Skin Tuck Procedures After Childbirth
That is a difficult question to answer as it is up to interpretation. When one tries to satisfy both of those desires there will usually be a compromise. Depending on what the patient would benefit from, the surgeon might be able to give a list of options from least to most invasive and explain the limitations of each. At that point then you can determine, based on what is important from your perspective.
Breast lift, tummy tuck, and labiaplasty for Mommy Makeover
Breast lift, tummy tuck, and labiaplasty for Mommy Makeover are probably the most skin for the buck after childbirth.
Other plastic surgeon's might pick a different three.
Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift are the most effective, efficient skin tuck Mommy Makeover Procedures
There is no question that the Tummy Tuck and the Breast Lift or Dermal Mastopexy are the most helpful effective Mommy Makeover procedures following childbirth.
As to a third skin tuck procedure, it depends on the individual patients needs and desires.
The Medial Thigh often gains weight during pregnancy but a Thigh Tuck is delayed as a second procedure as is an Arm Tuck or Brachioplasty.
Actually in terms of a third procedure performed during Mommy makeover in my practice, Blepharoplasty or eyelid rejuvenation is most common.

What R Top 3 Most Effective & Efficient Skin Tuck Procedures After Childbirth?Answer:
Breast Lift. Of the 2 main ones (tummy and breast...I can think of a third to fully answer your question!!!) I think it gives the biggest Bang for the least amount of surgery. The recovery is not anywhere near like a Tummy Tuck and you are really up and about much faster. Now the downside is the implant which is used in most cases. There is a commitment to maintenance for years to come with an implant so always take that into account!
Best Mommy Makeover Results
Women may experience many different changes with their bodies with pregnancy (which are well worth it when you hold that beautiful baby!) , and the most common areas of concern are the breast and abdominal area. The breasts can be improved with a combination of breast augmentation (small incision) with or without a breast lift, depending on the amount of skin laxity present. Or, one might consider a breast lift alone, if they are pleased with their breast volume or size. The abdominal area can be contoured with liposuction and a mini or full abdominoplasty depending on the amount of skin laxity present. Although there are other areas that may be of concern, the most dramatic impact can be usually be achieve with a combination of breast and abdominal contouring surgery. The procedure that is best for you to give you the results that you desire are discussed at the time of an initial consultation when you can review your concerns and goals with your surgeon.
Mommy Makeover Requests
Pregnancy affects women's bodies differently but most women have a great deal of change in both their abdomen and their breasts. A "Mommy Makeover" is intended to address these areas primarily. A tummy tuck removes extra skin and tightens the abdominal wall. A breast lift or breast reduction is commonly requested to restore breast shape. Some wish to improve breast volume or shape with breast implants. Sometimes liposuction is used in areas of excess weight carriage. Lots of women feel dowdy after pregnancy. A Mommy Makeover can help post partum blues.
Top 3 mommy makeover procedures
Every procedure plastic surgeons do is designed to give the maximal benefit with the most minimal approach, so the best operation for each individual is based on their condition. The mommy makeover almost always involves a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), and some version of a breast lift. Often the breast procedure includes augmentation with an implant to replace lost volume, which in turn affects the type of lift. So the top 3 are tummy tuck and minimal scar breast lifts, either vertical pattern or periareolar (Benelli.)
3 most effective postpregnancy skin tuck procedures
The stretching of the torso (abdomen and breasts) from pregnancy and breast feeding can be well treated with three procedures depending on your anatomy and exam with a real plastic surgeon. These three are:
1. Full tummy tuck (mini's are super rare in well selected cases)
2. Breast lift (with or without augmentation)
3 Both together (mommy makeover)
Top three post-pregnancy skin tucks
I've ranked the top three post-pregnancy skin tucks in order of increasing length of scar and invasiveness. Pregnancy affects a woman's face, breast and abdomen, hence we match the skin tucks with the anatomical zone.
1) Eyelid lifts can freshen up the face with relatively short convalescence.
2) Breast lifts (mastopexy) with/without implants are powerful techniques for improving aesthetics.
3) Tummy tucks (endoscopic assisted, mini or major) are individualized to what anatomy provides.
That being said, a mommy makeover candidate should also prioritize her areas of dissatisfaction and be well educated on the recovery phases as well as potential complications, before undertaking any skin tucks. Good luck
