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, repair the core, and refresh the breasts and torso with an elegant finish.

Common Goals

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

Key Elements

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

Inside the Procedure Suite

Tummy Tuck: Core Repair & Waist Refinement

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, defined waist, lasting contour
Incisions: Placed low and discreet to suit your garment preferences
Finish: Natural umbilicus 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 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: 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: Strategic reduction for smooth transitions
Option: Fat transfer to hips or buttocks for proportion

Optional Labiaplasty: Confidence & Symmetry

Pregnancy and delivery can stretch the labial tissues. Labiaplasty is a delicate reshaping that improves comfort and symmetry while respecting natural form.
