Mommy Makeover Procedure

What You Should Know

A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth. It typically includes surgeries like breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. Customized to each patient’s needs, a mommy makeover addresses common post-pregnancy concerns such as sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, and stubborn fat, helping women regain their pre-pregnancy body and confidence.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a personalized blend of cosmetic treatments that refashions your body back to its pre-baby shape — or even better. It often targets the breasts, belly, and other areas changed by pregnancy, delivery, and nursing. This transformation is about being you again — confident, strong, and beautiful.

Which Procedures Are Part of a Mommy Makeover?

Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to the individual, but typical elements may include:

  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin, tightens stomach muscles
  • Breast Augmentation: Restores or adds volume
  • Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Lifts and reshapes droopy breasts
  • Liposuction: Eliminates resistant fat from spots such as flanks, thighs, back, or arms
  • Labiaplasty or buttock contouring: Optional in certain cases

Your makeover will be customized based on your body, your desires, and your lifestyle.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

  • Are done with childbearing and breastfeeding
  • Have issues like loose skin, stretched muscles, breast deflation, or resistant fat
  • Are healthy and at a stable weight
  • Do not smoke
  • Have realistic expectations and are prepared for recovery

How Soon After Pregnancy Can I Have a Mommy Makeover?

Usually, it’s best to wait:

  • 6 months after giving birth
  • 3–6 months after breastfeeding

This provides time for your body to settle, hormone levels to return to normal, and for swelling or natural skin tightening.

Will There Be Scarring?

Yes, there will be some scarring, depending upon the procedures done. But:

  • Incisions are placed in a way that they can be concealed by underwear or swimwear
  • Scars become less noticeable over time
  • Scar care treatments (silicone gels, laser therapy) may help heal better

Is It Safe to Have Multiple Procedures?

When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, a Mommy Makeover is very safe. Combining procedures means:

  • One surgery
  • One anesthesia session
  • One recovery period

Your safety is the top priority, and your surgeon will assess your health and customize your surgical plan accordingly.

What Is the Recovery Like?

Recovery depends on the number and type of procedures, but generally:

  • Expect 2–3 weeks of downtime
  • You’ll need help at home for the first 7–10 days
  • Early walking is encouraged to encourage circulation
  • Avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks
  • Bruising and swelling are normal and subside gradually
  • Compression clothing may be worn to enhance healing

When Will I See Results?

You will notice improvements immediately, particularly contour and firmness. However, complete results take 3–6 months as swelling recedes and incisions close. Your results will further improve over time.

Are the Results Permanent?

Yes — your results are permanent, particularly with a stable weight, healthy habits, and no more pregnancies. Natural aging will still occur, but the enhancements from your Mommy Makeover still hold up for years.

Can I Still Have Children After a Mommy Makeover?

Technically, yes — but it’s not recommended. Pregnancy after a Mommy Makeover can reverse or compromise your results. If you’re planning to have more children, it’s best to wait before undergoing the procedure.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?

Costs vary depending on the number and type of procedures, surgeon’s experience, and location. Most practices provide personalized quotes during your consultation. Financing options are often available.
