What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the physical effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It typically includes:

    Other commonly included treatments may involve vaginal rejuvenation, eyelid surgery, or non-surgical options such as BOTOX® or laser resurfacing.

    Mommy Makeover Procedures

    While a mommy makeover can include a wide range of procedures, the most common are generally breast surgeries, a tummy tuck, and liposuction.

    Tummy Tuck

    We offer two options for this procedure. A traditional abdominoplasty, or full tummy tuck, is the most common type. During this surgery, an incision is made along the bikini line from hip to hip. The abdominal muscles are tightened, excess skin is removed, and the area is contoured and shaped attractively. A tummy tuck is often paired with liposuction for optimal results. This method best suits patients concerned about loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles above and below their navel.

    Mini Tummy Tuck

    We offer a mini abdominoplasty, popularly known as a mini tummy tuck. The incision during this technique is usually smaller. This technique is ideal for patients with a small area of loose skin or stubborn fat below the belly button but who are otherwise happy with their upper abdomen.

    Breast Augmentation and Lift

    While either a breast augmentation or breast lift surgery can be performed without combining the two, if desired, many of our patients choose to have both procedures at once. During this surgery, your surgeon will make an incision to access the underlying breast tissue, and a pocket is created to insert the implant. The breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to enhance the projection and contour of the breast. The areola and nipple are also raised. Lastly, we remove excess breast skin and reduce enlarged areolas, if necessary. Once finished, our surgeon closes the incisions and places dressings.

    Liposuction

    This procedure resolves fat pockets that appear during or after pregnancy, which are challenging to get rid of. During liposuction, the fat cells are broken up and removed, achieving a more sculpted, toned appearance. This procedure can be applied to fat tissues in the abdomen, thighs, arms, or other areas that are difficult to reduce with diet and exercise.

    What Should I Expect During Mommy Makeover Recovery and Results? 

    Recovery timelines vary depending on the procedures you choose, but in general:

    • Most patients take 1–2 weeks off work
    • Strenuous activity should be avoided for 4–6 weeks
    • Results are noticeable soon after surgery, with full refinement over several months
    • All procedures are performed during a single surgery, streamlining recovery

    Mommy Makeover FAQs

    Can I still have a Mommy Makeover if I’ve had a C-section?

    How long after giving birth can I have a Mommy Makeover?

    Will a Mommy Makeover affect future pregnancies?

    Can I customize my Mommy Makeover?

    How much weight should I lose before surgery?

    Can I include non-surgical treatments in my makeover?

    What if I only want a tummy tuck or breast lift—not both?

    Will my scars be visible?

    Can I still have a Mommy Makeover if I’ve had a C-section?

    Yes. Many C-section patients benefit from a Mommy Makeover. Your surgeon may even revise or remove your C-section scar during the tummy tuck.

    How long after giving birth can I have a Mommy Makeover?

    Most patients should wait at least 6 months after childbirth and breastfeeding. This allows your body to stabilize and ensures the most accurate results.

    Will a Mommy Makeover affect future pregnancies?

    The procedures will not prevent future pregnancies, but it’s best to wait until you’ve completed your family—future pregnancies could undo your results.

    Can I customize my Mommy Makeover?

    Absolutely. We’ll design a treatment plan tailored to your body and goals. You can include only what you want—from breast surgery alone to a full-body contouring plan.

    How much weight should I lose before surgery?

    Ideally, you should be within 10–15 pounds of your goal weight to get the best results and avoid impacting the outcome with future weight changes.

    Can I include non-surgical treatments in my makeover?

    Yes. Many patients add BOTOX®, fillers, microneedling, or skin resurfacing for a complete rejuvenation without needing a separate visit.

    What if I only want a tummy tuck or breast lift—not both?

    No problem. “Mommy Makeover” is just a label—your procedure is customized entirely to your preferences.

    Will my scars be visible?

    Incisions are placed strategically in natural creases and bikini lines. Over time, they fade, and we offer scar care and laser options to improve healing.
