Procedures to Consider for Your Mommy Makeover

Every mommy makeover is unique, with the procedure choices tailored to the individual. You get exactly what you want — no more and no less. While you are free to select the procedures that matter most to you, there are certain ones that we suggest anyone looking into a mommy makeover consider.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks help tighten up the muscles of the abdomen while removing excess skin and fat. This helps address the impact stretching during pregnancy has on the stomach. There are multiple types of tummy tucks to choose from, including mini and 360-degree options. No matter which is best for you, the result should be the same: a trim, flat tummy.

Liposuction

Many women find that after pregnancy, their body wants to hold onto fat more than ever, and often in new places. Liposuction removes targeted fat cells, slimming the area to create a more contoured silhouette. And depending on what other procedures you want, the removed fat can be put to good use.

Fat Transfer

If you have unwanted volume in one area of the body and not enough in another, fat transfer can help. With this procedure, fat is removed via liposuction, prepped and then transferred to another area of the body, such as the breasts, hips or butt.

Breast Lift

After pregnancy and breastfeeding, many women find their breast skin is stretched out, or that they even lost volume once their milk supply went away. With a breast lift, that saggy appearance can be eliminated, restoring confidence and making it easier to wear all types of necklines and bras.

Breast Augmentation

If a lift alone won’t give you the look you want, or you don’t have any sagging in the breasts, breast augmentation might be best for you. You have control over how much volume you add, the shape of the implant and the placement, making it easy to realize your body goals.

Recovering from a Mommy Makeover

In most cases, you will need to take about two weeks off from work after a mommy makeover and won’t be fully recovered for 6 to 8 weeks. However, this varies based on the procedures you get. When you sit down to talk with Dr. Swetnam or Dr. Stubbs and plan your mommy makeover, they will be able to give you an accurate picture of your recovery period.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a mommy makeover cost?

There is no set cost for any cosmetic surgery, and mommy makeovers have a wider range of prices than most due to their customizable nature. To get an accurate idea of how much your procedure will be, schedule a consultation with one of our cosmetic surgeons.

Am I limited in the procedures I can choose for my mommy makeover?

Practically any cosmetic procedure that interests you can be included in a mommy makeover, but you will be limited in how many you can get at a time. This number will vary based on the procedures you are interested in and how long they take to perform. In general, we don’t want patients to be in surgery for more than 6 to 8 hours at a time.

How do I find the best mommy makeover cosmetic surgeon near me?

Start by searching for cosmetic surgeons in your area and seeing what their patients are saying about them. Also take time to look at their websites, and especially their before and after photos. Once you have a feel for cosmetic surgeons near you, choose 2 or 3 that stand out the most and schedule consultations. Select the one that feels like the best collaborative partner for your surgery.

Can I get a mommy makeover even if I’m not a mother?

Absolutely! While it is called a mommy makeover because the typical procedures address common side effects of pregnancy, anyone can get a combination procedure to address their aesthetic concerns.

Can I combine med spa treatments with my mommy makeover surgery?

Yes! It is actually quite common to get both med spa and surgical procedures as part of a mommy makeover. It helps give you a fully refreshed look.
