Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can bring joy but also changes to your body that may be difficult to reverse with diet and exercise alone. A Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to help mothers regain their pre-pregnancy shape and confidence.
At Advanced Plastic Surgery Center, we tailor each Mommy Makeover to meet your unique needs and goals. Request your consultation today.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a set of procedures that address common post-pregnancy concerns, such as excess abdominal skin, deflated breasts, and stubborn fat deposits. This treatment is fully customizable and often includes:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) – Removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles.
- Breast augmentation or lift – Restores volume and improves shape.
- Liposuction – Removes stubborn fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- Other enhancements – Some patients opt for additional treatments like skin rejuvenation.
Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover:
- Have completed childbirth and are not planning future pregnancies.
- Are in good overall health and at a stable weight.
- Have realistic expectations about the results.
- Want to address sagging breasts, loose abdominal skin, or persistent fat pockets.
- Are non-smokers or willing to quit before and after surgery to promote healing.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
Each Mommy Makeover is unique, but the process generally involves:
- Consultation – A detailed discussion of your concerns and goals.
- Customized surgical plan – Your surgeon will determine which procedures will best achieve your desired results.
- Surgery day – Performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 3-5 hours.
- Recovery – Post-surgery monitoring to ensure safety before discharge.
What Can I Expect from the Results of a Mommy Makeover?
- A flatter, more toned abdomen.
- Fuller, lifted, or reshaped breasts.
- Improved body contour and silhouette.
- Boosted self-confidence and comfort in clothing.
- Long-lasting results with a healthy lifestyle.
While initial swelling and bruising will subside within weeks, final results become more apparent as your body heals over the following months.
What is the Recovery Time?
Recovery varies depending on the procedures performed, but general guidelines include:
- 4-10 days – Rest, limited activity, and assistance with daily tasks. Drainage tubes may be placed to remove excess blood and fluid.
- 2-4 weeks – Gradual return to normal activities, with some restrictions on lifting and exercise.
- 6-8 weeks – Most patients resume full activity, including workouts.
- Long-term care – Scars will fade over time, and maintaining a stable weight will help preserve results.
One of our board-certified plastic surgeons will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
