What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Published by DR. Bradley Ashpole

A Mommy Makeover is a series of surgical procedures performed in order to restore a mother’s body back to its pre-pregnancy state. Depending on your individual needs, any combination of procedures may be used for Mommy Makeover surgery. These may include a breast lift or breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, liposuction, butt lift, or labiaplasty. In rare cases, a breast reduction may also be in order. The effect pregnancy has on the body is unique, which means a Mommy Makeover will be different for every patient.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Mommy Makeover Surgery?

The ideal candidate for a Mommy Makeover is a healthy woman who doesn’t plan on having more children. This is because additional pregnancies can cause damage to previous makeovers. Ideally, women should have finished breastfeeding their youngest child and should be able to maintain their weight.

What Does Mommy Makeover Surgery Correct?

Mommy Makeover surgery can address a number of concerns including:

  • Imbalanced weight loss
  • Bulging stomach
  • Sagging breasts or disproportionate breasts
  • Stretch marks
  • Changes to the vaginal region

How Does a Mommy Makeover Work?

The procedures in a Mommy Makeover can vary greatly depending on your individual needs. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your unique goals and which procedures may be most beneficial for you. The benefit of grouping multiple procedures together into a “Mommy Makeover” is that you generally have less downtime than you would if you scheduled separate procedures.
