What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to rejuvenate and enhance a woman’s body following pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It typically includes a combination of procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and labiaplasty to address common post-pregnancy concerns and restore a more youthful and contoured appearance.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover:
The mommy makeover offers numerous benefits that extend beyond just physical appearance. Some of the key advantages include:
- Restored confidence and self-esteem.
- Correction of sagging breasts and stretched abdominal muscles.
- Improvement in breast volume, shape, and symmetry.
- Reduction of stubborn fat deposits in various areas of the body.
- Enhanced overall body contour and silhouette.
- Customized treatment plan to address individual concerns and goals.
Options for a Mommy Makeover:

1. Breast Augmentation
Enhance breast volume and shape with implants or fat transfer.
2. Breast Lift
Elevate and reshape sagging breasts for a more youthful appearance.
3. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin and fat to achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping or reducing the size of the labia minora (inner vaginal lips) or tightening the labia majora (outer vaginal lips). Clients may seek labiaplasty for various reasons, including discomfort during physical activities, irritation, asymmetry, or aesthetic concerns.
Who are the Best Candidates for a Mommy Makeover?
Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are women who have completed their pregnancies, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. Candidates may include:
- Mothers who are bothered by changes in their breasts, abdomen, and body contour following pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Women with stretched abdominal muscles, loose skin, and stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.
- Individuals seeking comprehensive rejuvenation of their body to regain their pre-pregnancy figure and confidence.
- Those who have finished breastfeeding and are at a stable weight before undergoing surgery.
What to Expect:
Before undergoing a mommy makeover, you will have a thorough consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your goals, medical history, and surgical options. Your surgeon will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your specific concerns and achieve your desired outcomes.
The mommy makeover surgery typically takes several hours to complete, depending on the number and complexity of procedures performed. Your surgeon will discuss the details of each procedure, incision placement, and recovery process during your consultation.
After surgery, you can expect some temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with pain medication and proper post-operative care. Most patients will need to take time off from work and limit their activities for a few weeks to allow for proper healing and recovery.
