What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a highly individualized combination of surgical procedures performed during one operation (or staged across multiple sessions) to reverse the physical changes associated with pregnancy and weight fluctuations.

While each plan is unique, the Mommy Makeover typically focuses on:

• Restoring breast fullness or reducing excessive volume
• Recontouring the abdomen and tightening muscles
• Enhancing the buttocks
• Refining areas affected by hormonal or structural changes
• Addressing intimate concerns and comfort

Procedures Typically Included in a Mommy Makeover

1. Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation restores lost volume and fullness after breastfeeding, hormonal shifts, or weight changes. Implants—or fat transfer for patients seeking a natural alternative—can enhance upper-pole roundness, improve symmetry, and restore pre-pregnancy contours.

2. Breast Reduction

For many mothers, pregnancy contributes to enlarged, heavy breasts that cause discomfort, posture issues, and difficulty exercising. Breast Reduction removes excess tissue and reshapes the breasts for a lighter, lifted, more proportional appearance. Peer-reviewed studies document significant improvements in back pain, physical function, and quality of life following breast reduction surgery.

3. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

A tummy tuck addresses stretched skin, abdominal laxity, and separated abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis), which cannot be repaired with exercise alone. Research shows that abdominoplasty with muscle repair improves both abdominal contour and functional core strength in post-pregnancy patients.

4. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

A BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) enhances the buttocks using your own purified fat, harvested from areas like the abdomen or flanks. This dual-benefit procedure slims one area while adding volume and shape to another.

5. Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Pregnancy-related weight fluctuations can leave excess skin on the upper arms. An Arm Lift removes loose tissue and reshapes the arm contour for a more toned appearance.

6. Labiaplasty

Many women experience intimate changes after childbirth, including stretching or discomfort of the labia minora. Labiaplasty reshapes excess tissue for improved comfort, balance, and confidence.
