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 refresh the breasts and torso with an natural finish.

Main Objectives

Repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Remove excess skin and smooth the waistline
Restore breast position and volume
Reduce localized fat for smoother contours

Key Elements

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Muscle repair + skin tailoring
Breast Lift/Augmentation: Restore shape; enhance volume if desired
Liposuction: Remove stubborn fat in abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms
Optional: Labiaplasty; autologous fat grafting for subtle volume

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: Improved posture, flatter abdomen, lasting contour
Incisions: Low and concealed to suit your garment preferences
Finish: Natural umbilicus for an authentic look

Breast Lift / Augmentation: Shape & Proportion

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

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

Liposuction: Precision Sculpting

Even with great habits, isolated fat pockets can persist. Liposuction refines these zones to highlight natural curves 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 improves comfort and symmetry while respecting natural form.

Your Questions Answered

How long do results last?

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

What about scarring?

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 light duties in about two weeks, depending on the procedure mix.

Can I combine procedures?

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

Discomfort level

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