Mommy Makeover Overview

A Mommy Makeover is not a single operation but a curated combination of procedures that may include tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and targeted liposuction. The goal is to refine proportion, repair the core, and refresh the breasts and torso with an elegant finish.

Key Procedures Explained

Abdominoplasty: Flat, Firm, Supported

Pregnancy can stretch the midline fascia, leading to diastasis recti. A tummy tuck plications the muscle layer and removes lax skin for a sleeker abdomen and enhanced core support.

• Benefits: Improved posture, flatter abdomen, lasting contour
• Incisions: Low and concealed to suit your garment preferences
• Finish: Refined belly-button shaping for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Projection & Proportion

Post-pregnancy, breasts may sag or relinquish volume. A lift elevates tissue while augmentation restores fullness using fat transfer depending on your goals.

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

Liposuction: Targeted Contouring

Even with great habits, isolated fat pockets can persist. Liposuction refines 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.

Patient Questions

How long do results last?

With a stable weight, results can endure for many years; natural aging continues but contours remain refined.

Will there be scars?

Incisions are placed low to be as discreet as possible; proper care helps them mature over time.

When can I return to work?

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

Combining procedures

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

Discomfort level

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