What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a blend of liposuction, skin removal, and skin tightening that reshapes the breasts, tummy, and lower body. Basically, we can treat any part of the body affected by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding.

Mommy Makeover Procedures

A mommy makeover consists of multiple surgical and sometimes non-surgical treatments designed to restore and enhance the areas of your body most impacted by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes. Every treatment plan at Forma Plastic Surgery is fully customized to your needs, often combining several of the following procedures to achieve the best possible results:

Liposuction

Liposuction is often included in a mommy makeover to address stubborn fat deposits that may remain despite diet and exercise. This technique removes unwanted fat from targeted areas, helping refine your contours. The amount of fat removed and the recovery time can vary depending on your individual goals and the specific areas treated.

Breast Augmentation

For women who have lost breast volume after pregnancy or breastfeeding, breast augmentation can restore fullness and improve shape. Using implants or fat transfer, this procedure helps enhance proportion and symmetry while giving the breasts a more youthful appearance.

Breast Lift

A breast lift is designed to correct sagging and restore the breasts to a more youthful position. This surgery can address unwanted changes in firmness and shape caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations, without necessarily changing breast size.

Breast Reduction

For women whose breasts have become disproportionately large and uncomfortable after pregnancy, breast reduction can alleviate physical discomfort while improving breast shape and proportion. This procedure can also make it easier to find clothing that fits comfortably.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, repairs stretched abdominal muscles, and tightens the midsection. This treatment is especially beneficial for women experiencing loose skin or muscle separation after pregnancy, helping to create a flatter and more toned stomach.

Lower Body Lift

A lower body lift addresses sagging skin and tissue around the hips, buttocks, and thighs, which can result from both pregnancy and the natural aging process. This procedure reshapes and smooths these areas, restoring a firmer and more youthful contour to a woman’s body.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty utilizes advanced surgical techniques to reshape or reduce the size of the labia, thereby enhancing comfort, function, and appearance. This procedure can help alleviate physical discomfort during specific activities and boost overall confidence.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift removes loose skin from the inner and/or outer thighs, resulting in a smoother leg contour. This surgery can be particularly beneficial if the skin has lost elasticity after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and improves skin texture. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling supports the skin’s natural repair process and can be tailored to fit your specific aesthetic goals.

Before & After

What to Expect from a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover works well for women who have gone through childbearing and have tried to attain a toned, slimmer body with a healthy lifestyle, but have had little success. Many new moms often need surgery to reclaim their pre-pregnancy shape. If you have completed childbearing, but you feel displeased with the effects remaining on your body, the mommy makeover can help address:

Deflated, sagging breasts
Wrinkled skin in the abdominal area
Unwanted fat tissue in the lower back, flanks, and buttocks

A mommy makeover is a custom treatment that our board-certified plastic surgeons tailor for each woman. Based on the areas of concern, we can combine many procedures, like a breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, or liposuction.

No matter the combination of treatments, patients receive general anesthesia, and the surgery can last 3-7 hours. The time increases based on the number of procedures we complete during your surgery.

Recovery After Mommy Makeover Surgery

You will begin your recovery at home with plenty of rest. The overall recovery period is a gradual process. Moving around and walking upright are difficult for the first couple of weeks. Most patients find that the healing process can last about six months. Although the primary recovery period can take months, most patients can resume their regular routine within several weeks. However, exercise should wait for about two months. Standard Recovery Timeline

First few days: Expect swelling, bruising, and soreness. Pain medication and compression garments will help manage discomfort.
First week: Gentle walking is encouraged to improve circulation, but avoid any strenuous activity.
2 weeks: Many patients return to light, non-strenuous work. Discomfort should start to lessen, though some swelling may persist.

4–6 weeks: Most regular daily activities can be resumed, but continue to avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise.
8 weeks: Gradual return to full exercise and physical activity is typically allowed with your surgeon’s approval.
3–6 months: Final results become more visible as residual swelling subsides and scars begin to fade.

Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover

The ideal candidate for a mommy makeover is a patient who has completed having children and has attempted to achieve a slimmer look through diet and exercise, with limited success. For so many new moms, surgical intervention is recommended to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies.

If you have completed childbearing and are unhappy with the side effects remaining on your body, such as sagging breasts, wrinkled skin in the abdominal area, or undesirable pockets of fat in the hips, thighs, and buttocks, this procedure could be perfect for you. Our mission is to help you get back your pre-pregnancy figure so you can return to living life without concerns about your body.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?

During your consultation with one of our providers, we will assess your concerns and goals, and then conduct a physical examination. Following this, we can make recommendations on what to include in your mommy makeover. Typically, women select a breast surgery (an augmentation, lift, or both) together with liposuction and a body lift.

Will I have scars?

Although a mommy makeover offers a rejuvenated shape, it does leave some scarring. Our surgeon will make clean, small incisions. Most scars resulting from this surgery can be concealed with undergarments or swimsuits. When reviewing your recovery care instructions, Dr. Yao or a member of his team will review scar care to ensure your sutures heal and fade properly.

How soon will I see results from a mommy makeover?

While initial improvements may be noticeable immediately after surgery, the full mommy makeover results can take months to develop as swelling decreases and the body adjusts to the changes.

How long do the results of this plastic surgery last?

The results of a mommy makeover can be long-lasting if maintained with a stable weight and regular physical activity. However, future pregnancies or significant weight fluctuations can alter the outcomes.

What if I get pregnant again?

Ideally, you should hold off on getting a mommy makeover until after all pregnancies have been completed so your results are not compromised. In most cases, all treated areas of your body are at risk of changing if you get pregnant again. If you get pregnant after a mommy makeover, a second surgery can be performed to refresh your results.

Will I lose weight after a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is not designed as a weight loss procedure, so it is best to be at or near your ideal body weight before surgery. Instead of significantly reducing the number on the scale, the goal is to restore contours, enhance proportions, and create a more youthful appearance. Many women find that these improvements help them feel confident in their bodies again.

How to shorten the recovery process?

To shorten recovery time, it is crucial to be in good health before surgery and follow a well-structured surgical plan created by your surgeon. Wearing compression garments as advised can minimize swelling and support healing. Many patients find that closely following specific instructions from their care team—such as avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities during the early stages—can significantly improve their overall recovery speed and comfort.

Are there any risks involved in a mommy makeover?

Like any surgical procedure, a mommy makeover carries some risks, which your surgeon will review in detail. If you plan to have more children in the future, it is usually a better idea to postpone the surgery, as pregnancy can cause new bodily changes that may alter your results.
