A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body. The surgery typically includes breast enhancement (lift, augmentation, or reduction), tummy tuck, and liposuction, addressing the most common physical changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your surgeon tailors the procedures to your specific concerns, creating comprehensive body transformation in one surgery with a single recovery period.
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for mommy makeover surgery. Understanding whether you're a good fit helps ensure your safety and satisfaction with the results.
You should be done having children, as future pregnancies can reverse your results.
You must wait at least 6 months after stopping breastfeeding for breasts to stabilize.
You should be within 10-15 lbs of your target weight and maintaining it for at least 6 months.
You should be in good physical condition without underlying medical issues that could complicate surgery.
Understanding what mommy makeover can and cannot achieve is crucial for satisfaction.
Smoking impairs healing and dramatically increases complication risks for combined procedures.
Your body needs time to heal from childbirth before undergoing elective surgery.
Significant weight loss should be completed before surgery, not after.
You'll need assistance with childcare and household tasks for 2-3 weeks minimum.
You must commit to 2-3 weeks off work and 6-8 weeks avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous activity.
Future pregnancies can compromise results by re-stretching skin and breast tissue.
You must stop breastfeeding and wait at least 6 months before surgery.
Patients should lose excess weight before surgery for optimal results and safety.
Uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, bleeding disorders, or conditions affecting healing increase surgical risks.
If you're unwilling to quit smoking for at least 4-6 weeks before and after surgery, mommy makeover isn't safe for you.
If you expect mommy makeover to achieve perfection or save your relationship, you'll be disappointed.

Start my matchMommy makeover addresses multiple post-pregnancy concerns simultaneously—breasts, abdomen, and body contours—creating complete restoration in one surgery rather than multiple separate procedures over time.
The procedures reverse physical changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding, restoring breast volume and position, eliminating loose abdominal skin, tightening separated muscles, and removing stubborn fat deposits.
Combining procedures means one surgery, one anesthesia session, and one recovery period instead of multiple recoveries spread over months or years. This is more convenient and often more cost-effective.
Mommy makeover creates balanced, proportionate body contours. Your breasts, waist, and hips work together harmoniously, creating an hourglass figure that pregnancy may have altered.
With stable weight maintenance and no future pregnancies, mommy makeover results last for many years. The improvements in breast shape, abdominal contour, and body proportions remain visible long-term.
After mommy makeover, clothes fit dramatically better. Bras, swimwear, jeans, and fitted clothing look and feel better without accommodating excess skin, sagging breasts, or abdominal bulging.
Many patients report feeling more like themselves again after mommy makeover. Restoring your pre-pregnancy body often translates to improved self-esteem, body image, and comfort in intimate situations.
No two mommy makeovers are identical. Your surgeon tailors the combination of procedures to your specific concerns, whether that's breast lift with implants, tummy tuck with liposuction, or other combinations.
Mommy makeover targets areas that diet and exercise cannot fix, including separated abdominal muscles, deflated breasts, and localized fat deposits resistant to lifestyle changes.
The most challenging period. You'll experience significant swelling, bruising, and soreness across treated areas. Pain is manageable with prescribed medication. You must rest, avoid lifting anything (including children), and keep drains in place. You'll need substantial help with childcare and household tasks. Most patients take 2-3 weeks off work minimum.
Swelling decreases and you'll feel more mobile. Drains are typically removed. Continue wearing compression garments and surgical bras as directed. You can perform light activities but must avoid lifting over 10 pounds, including young children. Arrange continued childcare assistance.
Many patients return to desk work and light activities. You can gradually increase mobility but should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. Continue compression garments. Swelling improves significantly and your new contours become more apparent. You may be able to lift children briefly.
Most restrictions begin to lift. You can resume light exercise like walking. Your surgeon will clear you for additional activities based on healing progress. You can lift children normally again. Scars remain pink but begin to soften.
Significant swelling has resolved. Your body appears dramatically improved with lifted breasts, flat abdomen, and contoured figure. You can resume all normal activities including full exercise routines. Scars continue fading but remain visible.
Final results are visible. All swelling has resolved and scars have faded significantly to thin, pale lines. Your body has achieved its final shape. The restored figure you see now is your long-term result with proper weight maintenance.
Selecting the right surgeon is the most important decision in your mommy makeover journey.
Your surgeon must be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Board certification means your surgeon completed rigorous training, passed comprehensive exams, and maintains high ethical standards.
Check the ABPS website directly or use the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) "Find a Surgeon" tool.
Some physicians claim to be "board certified" but are certified in unrelated specialties that don't require plastic surgery residency training..
Board certification is your baseline, but mommy makeover specialization takes your safety and results to the next level.
A surgeon performing 30+ mommy makeover procedures annually has the experience necessary for optimal results, managing combined procedures safely, and creating balanced outcomes.
Has your surgeon completed advanced training in performing multiple procedures safely in one surgery? Do they understand the nuances of post-pregnancy body changes?
A quality surgeon is transparent about their outcomes. Experienced mommy makeover surgeons have significantly lower complication rates for combined procedures and understand how to minimize risks.
Look for patients with similar body types and post-pregnancy concerns to yours. Pay attention to breast shape, abdominal contour, overall body proportions, and scar quality. Quality surgeons have extensive galleries showing diverse results.
Real patient experiences provide insight into the surgeon's bedside manner, staff professionalism, post-operative care, and how they support mothers through extensive recovery.
