Frequently Asked
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to restore and rejuvenate the body after pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. It typically includes a breast augmentation and lift to reshape and lift the breasts, along with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove excess skin, tighten the abdominal muscles, and refine the waistline.
Ideal candidates are women in good general health who have completed their family and are at or near their ideal weight. Candidates often wish to address sagging breasts, stretched abdominal skin, separated muscles, or stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
The Mommy Makeover focuses on the areas most impacted by pregnancy and breastfeeding — typically the breasts and abdomen. However, liposuction or body contouring can also be added to refine the flanks, hips, or thighs for a more balanced overall result.
Recovery times vary depending on the combination of procedures, but most patients return to light activity in 10–14 days. Full recovery takes 6–8 weeks, with swelling and tightness gradually subsiding to reveal the final results. Our surgeons provide a personalized recovery plan to ensure comfort and safety every step of the way.
Yes — the results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. While natural aging continues, improvements to contour, firmness, and proportion are designed to last for many years.
While you certainly can, it’s recommended to wait until you’re finished having children before undergoing this procedure. Future pregnancies can stretch abdominal muscles and skin, and alter breast shape, potentially reducing the longevity of your results.
Absolutely. Many women choose to include liposuction, fat grafting, or labiaplasty to further refine body contours and achieve their ideal aesthetic. Your surgeon will discuss options during your consultation to tailor your treatment plan to your goals.
Incisions are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible — usually hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. With proper healing and scar management, scars fade significantly over time and are barely noticeable.
