- Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover is a customizable set of procedures designed to reshape and rejuvenate the body after pregnancy. Treatments can target multiple areas, including the breasts, abdomen, waist, buttocks, and vaginal area. Traditionally, a standard Mommy Makeover includes a tummy tuck and breast augmentation, but the exact combination is tailored to your goals.
The procedures of a Mommy Makeover
Tummy tuck
Removes excess fat and skin and tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles to create a smoother, firmer profile.
Breast procedures
Options include augmentation, lift (mastopexy), reduction, or combinations thereof. Many patients opt for a breast lift with implants to lift, reshape, and enlarge the breasts.
Liposuction
Removes stubborn fat to refine contour. Not a weight-loss procedure, but it enhances shape where diet and exercise alone can’t.
Vaginal rejuvenation
A set of procedures to improve the shape, function, and comfort of the vaginal area, addressing tissue changes from pregnancy.
What to expect
Customization
Your surgeon will tailor the plan to your anatomy, prior pregnancies, and health goals.

Many patients return to work after about two weeks and are fully recovered within about eight weeks, depending on the extent of the procedures.
