What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childbirth. While each plan is tailored to your unique needs, most include surgery on the breasts, abdomen, and other areas affected by motherhood.

A mommy makeover may address:

  • Deflated, sagging, or asymmetrical breasts
  • Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • Excess skin or stubborn fat in the midsection
  • Volume loss in the buttocks or hips
  • Stubborn fat in the flanks, thighs, or arms

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover is about more than appearance—it’s about restoring confidence and comfort in your body. The combination of procedures can dramatically improve your physical contours and how you feel day to day.

Benefits may include:

  • Flatter, firmer abdomen
  • Lifted and reshaped breasts
  • Reduction of sagging skin and stretch marks
  • Enhanced body proportions and balance
  • Improved clothing fit and comfort
  • Long-lasting results with proper lifestyle habits

Who’s a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Consultation is essential to determine if a mommy makeover is right for you. During this visit, your surgeon will assess your health, goals, and lifestyle to recommend the best combination of procedures.

The following are ideal candidates:

  • Women in good overall health
  • Non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery
  • Those who have completed childbearing
  • Patients with realistic expectations
  • Individuals at or near their goal weight

What Happens During a Mommy Makeover?

Your mommy makeover journey begins with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, examine your anatomy, and craft a tailored surgical plan. Here’s what the typical process includes:

  1. Anesthesia – General anesthesia is used for your comfort and safety
  2. Surgical Steps – Procedures may include tummy tuck, breast augmentation, lift, or liposuction
  3. Incisions & Sculpting – Surgeons use advanced techniques to reduce scarring and maximize contour
  4. Closing & Recovery – Incisions are carefully closed and bandaged. Recovery instructions are provided

Recovery and Results After a Mommy Makeover

Recovery from a mommy makeover depends on the scope of your procedures. While some patients may only need a few days of downtime, others may require two to three weeks of rest before returning to regular activity.

You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions to support your healing and minimize discomfort. Most patients notice gradual improvements in contour and firmness, as well as self-confidence, over the first few months. Swelling typically subsides in four to six weeks, with final results settling in around three to six months. Scars fade over time and are placed as discreetly as possible.
