A mommy makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic procedure designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy bodies. Combining multiple surgeries such as breast enhancement, tummy tuck, liposuction, and sometimes labiaplasty, the mommy makeover is customized to address the unique aesthetic concerns of each patient.
The mommy makeover is customizable procedure tailored to meet your individual concerns. During your consultation, our experts will assess your physical health and aesthetic desires, guiding you through the available options to achieve optimal results.
A mommy makeover can include a range of procedures based on your goals. Whether you’re interested in a tummy tuck to tighten abdominal muscles, breast augmentation or lift, or liposuction to remove stubborn fat, we’ll help you determine the right combination to achieve a rejuvenated look.
Below are some key considerations we’ll discuss with you during your consultation:
Pregnancy and breastfeeding often lead to changes in breast size and shape. Whether you’re looking to restore volume through breast augmentation or address sagging with a breast lift, we’ll customize a breast enhancement plan that fits your body’s needs. In some cases, a breast reduction may be needed for optimal balance.
After childbirth, the abdominal muscles can become separated, and excess skin may remain. A tummy tuck can tighten these muscles and remove loose skin, creating a flatter and more toned midsection. We’ll discuss whether a full or mini tummy tuck is best for your situation. A tummy tuck can also help remove some of stretchmarks.
Liposuction is often included in a mommy makeover to contour areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms. This procedure targets pockets of stubborn fat that have not responded to diet and exercise, helping to sculpt and refine your body’s shape.
In some cases, other procedures like labiaplasty or fat transfer may be added to the plan.
Your skin’s elasticity plays a crucial role in the outcome of your procedures. We’ll evaluate the condition of your skin to ensure optimal results, recommending options to enhance skin tone and texture if needed.
We’ll discuss the expected scarring from the procedures, as well as the steps you can take to promote healing and minimize scars. Recovery timelines will vary depending on the combination of procedures, but most patients can expect a period of downtime followed by a gradual return to normal activities over several weeks.
A key goal of the mommy makeover is to restore balance and symmetry to your figure. We’ll focus on creating proportional contours that enhance your natural beauty, addressing any asymmetry between your breasts or body areas to achieve a harmonious look.
A mommy makeover is a customized set of procedures aimed at reversing the physical changes brought on by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. These changes can include loose abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), breast deflation or sagging, and fat deposits in various areas of the body. By combining procedures like breast enhancement, tummy tuck, and liposuction, a mommy makeover provides a comprehensive solution for women looking to rejuvenate their bodies post-pregnancy.
Recovery from a mommy makeover will vary based on the number and type of procedures performed. Most patients need 2 to 4 weeks of downtime, with full recovery taking up to 6 weeks. It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s post-op instructions closely to ensure the best possible results. Over time, swelling will subside, and you’ll be able to enjoy a figure that restores your confidence.

We interviewed a patient who recently got a mommy makeover. She shares her experience with us.
“I had a double mastectomy, received chemotherapy and radiation therapy and a year after had delayed breast reconstruction (Latissimus Dorsi flap) performed by Dr. Coleman Brown. I am extremely happy with the outcome and the way I look. I don’t only recommend Dr. Brown because of how talented he is but, also for having an amazing bedside manner.”

Rest assured that I am and will always be eternally grateful for the difference you have made in my life. From my heart, I thank you.”

Dr. Brown did my breast reduction 3 weeks ago and I can say I am absolutely so happy with the results! He’s a very caring and friendly doctor who has years of experience, really knows what he’s doing and is detail oriented. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!”
