What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is not a single operation but a bespoke combination of procedures that may include abdominoplasty, breast lift or augmentation, and targeted liposuction. The goal is to refine balance, tighten the core, and rejuvenate the breasts and torso with an natural finish.

Key Procedures Explained

Tummy Tuck: Core Repair & Waist Refinement

Pregnancy can stretch the midline fascia, leading to diastasis recti. A tummy tuck repairs the muscle layer and tailors lax skin for a flatter abdomen and improved core support.

• Benefits: Better core support, defined waist, lasting contour
• Incisions: Low and concealed to suit your garment preferences
• Finish: Natural umbilicus for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Projection & Balance

Post-pregnancy, breasts may descend or lose volume. A lift repositions tissue while augmentation enhances fullness using implants depending on your goals.

• Lift (Mastopexy): Re-centers the nipple-areola complex and reshapes tissue
• Augmentation: Adds volume with silicone implants or autologous fat
• Combined: For patients who want both elevation and volume

Liposuction: Targeted Contouring

Even with great habits, localized fat pockets can persist. Liposuction sculpts these zones to highlight your silhouette and enhance garment fit.

• Zones: Abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back
• Approach: Measured reduction for smooth transitions
• Option: Fat transfer to hips or buttocks for proportion

Optional Labiaplasty: Confidence & Symmetry

Pregnancy and delivery can change the labial tissues. Labiaplasty is a precise reshaping that enhances comfort and symmetry while preserving natural form.

Your Questions Answered

Longevity of results?

If your weight stays steady, results can endure for many years; natural aging continues but contours remain improved.

Will there be scars?

Incisions are designed to be as discreet as possible; proper care helps them fade over time.

Back to routine?

Many patients resume light duties in about 10–14 days, depending on the procedure mix.

Can I combine procedures?

Yes — combining procedures allows a comprehensive transformation with one consolidated recovery window.

Discomfort level

Modern anesthesia and pain-management protocols support a smooth recovery, especially during the first week.
