90 Day Fiance’s Loren Brovarnik Shares Her Journey Through Mommy Makeover Surgery: Embracing Transformation

90 Day Fiancé star Loren Brovarnik shared that she is pleased with her decision to undergo a mommy makeover after she and husband Alexei Brovarnik finished expanding their family in 2022.

Loren, 35, revealed, "When I became pregnant with [son] Shai, I told Alex that once we're done having kids, I want to have a mommy makeover." She explained, "I knew I wanted it because a woman's body goes through a lot, right? We were fortunate to have pregnancies one after the other, but unfortunately, my muscles didn't bounce back."

Loren, who has children Shai, Asher, and Ariel with Alexei, felt like she was hinting at getting a procedure done. She decided it would be best to do it while her kids were still young.

She explained, "It's better to get it done now because as they grow older, they will need us more. So by getting it done early, it's behind us and we can move forward."

Loren underwent a tummy tuck as part of her mommy makeover to address abdominal diastasis caused by her pregnancy. Abdominal diastasis is when the ab muscles separate due to stretching during pregnancy, as explained by the Cleveland Clinic.

Loren shared that her muscles were four units apart, and the tummy tuck procedure helped to put them back together.

Loren underwent a procedure called liposuction 360 to target excess fat around her abdomen. During the procedure, some of the fat was transferred to her breasts. Despite experiencing some loss during the transfer, Loren expressed that this outcome was anticipated.

“I personally didn’t want implants, so it wasn’t the best health choice for me, but I’m happy,” she told Us. “The silver lining is I feel great and I am tightened.”

The surgery took seven hours, but Loren joked that it felt like a good nap. Initially, she was expected to heal in six weeks, but she ended up taking longer due to an infection. Loren confessed that she didn't take her recovery seriously at first and continued with her daily activities.

"I can't just sit there and stare at a pile of laundry or dishes," she admitted. "I just can't, so I took a step back, but you'll hear all about it."

Loren was grateful to have Alexei by her side while she was recovering. He took on more responsibilities at home to help her during this time. Despite facing challenges during her recovery, Loren has no regrets about undergoing her mommy makeover.

She admitted that the feelings of body dysmorphia have not disappeared overnight. It is a process that takes time. Even though she is now more focused on being the best version of herself, she still pushes herself to work out, feel good, and look good. Loren is taking it day by day and moving forward without any regrets.
