Lift, Sculpt, Love
You’ve spent years doing everything for your kids. Now it’s time to do something for yourself. A Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive surgical procedure that helps women reclaim more sculpted contours in areas like the abdomen and breasts after the changes pregnancy can bring. Often combining liposuction or an abdominoplasty with a procedure such as breast augmentation, a breast lift, or breast reduction, each Mommy Makeover is tailored around the needs of the individual and planned in careful collaboration with a highly qualified plastic surgeon. Our specialists take a thoughtful approach, helping you plan a procedure completely tailored to your body and your goals.
Embrace Your Inner Essence
A Mommy Makeover is a customizable surgical approach that combines multiple procedures to address post-pregnancy bodily changes. Tailored to individual needs, it typically includes a blend of surgeries like a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction. The goals are to restore pre-pregnancy body contours by addressing concerns such as loose abdominal muscles, excess skin, sagging breasts, and stubborn fat deposits that may have occurred due to pregnancy and childbirth. The outcome aims to rejuvenate the body, enhancing self-confidence by creating a more toned abdomen, firmer breasts, and improved overall body proportions while minimizing the recovery period through a comprehensive, single-session approach.

Orchestrated to Inspire
A mommy makeover procedure involves a tailored combination of surgical techniques to address post-pregnancy changes. The specific steps vary based on individual needs but typically include procedures like a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation, breast lift, and liposuction. For a tummy tuck, the surgeon starts by making incisions to access the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin and fat. They then tighten weakened abdominal muscles, creating a firmer core.
Breast procedures involve incisions customized to the chosen technique—augmentation involves inserting implants, a lift repositions and reshapes breast tissue, and a reduction reduces breast size. Liposuction may be performed in targeted areas to remove stubborn fat deposits. Throughout the process, the surgeon prioritizes safety, precision, and achieving the desired aesthetic outcome, followed by closing incisions meticulously to minimize scarring. The combination of these procedures is carefully orchestrated to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation while minimizing overall recovery time.
Embrace Full Body Rejuvenation
The initial results of a Mommy Makeover can often be seen once the initial swelling and bruising subside, typically within a few weeks to a couple of months after surgery. However, complete healing and final results may take several months as the body adjusts and settles into its new contours. Candidates can expect a firmer, more toned abdomen, lifted and reshaped breasts, and improved body contours in treated areas. The exact outcome varies based on individual anatomy, the combination of procedures performed, and the skill of the surgeon. To maintain the results, a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet is crucial. Additionally, avoiding significant weight fluctuations and practicing proper skin care can help preserve the outcomes of surgery over the long term.
Emerge Renewed
Recovery time and aftercare following a Mommy Makeover vary depending on the specific procedures performed. Generally, patients can expect a few weeks of initial healing, during which they may experience bruising, swelling, and discomfort. Compression garments are worn to minimize swelling and support the newly contoured areas. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting are typically restricted for several weeks, and patients may need assistance with daily tasks during the initial recovery phase. Follow-up appointments with your surgeon are essential for monitoring progress, addressing any concerns, and receiving guidance on gradually resuming normal activities.
Mommy Makeovers focus on the abdomen and breasts, combining procedures such as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with breast augmentation, a breast lift, or breast reduction. The goal is to provide comprehensive sculpting and lifting in areas that are commonly affected by pregnancy.
Yes, a Mommy Makeover typically combines multiple cosmetic procedures into a single surgery session. This approach reduces overall downtime and is also usually more cost-effective compared to having each procedure separately. Commonly included surgeries are tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation or lift, liposuction, and sometimes additional procedures based on individual goals and needs.
Generally, it's recommended to consider this type of surgery once you've completed your family planning and don't foresee more pregnancies. The body needs time to recover post-pregnancy, so surgeons often suggest waiting at least six months to a year after giving birth or finishing breastfeeding before considering a Mommy Makeover.
Like any surgery, a Mommy Makeover carries certain risks, including potential complications related to anesthesia, such as allergic reactions or adverse responses. Surgical risks like infection, bleeding, scarring, or poor wound healing can occur. Our surgeons perform every procedure according to the highest safety standards and will provide key information and support during the recovery phase to keep these risks to a minimum.
The cost of a Mommy Makeover can vary significantly because it's highly individualized and tailored to address each person's unique anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the specific combination of procedures required. After discussing your goals with one of our plastic surgeons and receiving a personalized treatment plan, we are able to provide an accurate estimate of costs.
