What is Mommy Makeover Surgery?

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to address the physical changes that occur after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. This comprehensive approach restores your pre-pregnancy body contours by targeting the areas most affected by motherhood in a single surgical session.

Breast enhancement

Pregnancy and nursing can leave lasting changes in your breasts. A breast augmentation, lift, or combination of both can help restore your natural shape and position, addressing volume loss, sagging, or changes in nipple position.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Childbirth often stretches the abdominal muscles in ways that exercise alone can’t fix. A tummy tuck repairs separation, removes excess skin, and helps eliminate that lingering post-pregnancy pooch so your body reflects your strength.

Body contouring & liposuction

Refine the areas that matter most to you. Liposuction gently removes stubborn fat and enhances your curves, while 360° body contouring reshapes your front, back, and sides to create harmony from every angle.

Who is a Good Candidate for Mommy Makeover Surgery?

Mommy makeover surgery is ideal for women who have completed their families and are seeking comprehensive restoration of their pre-pregnancy body. Whether addressing multiple concerns or specific post-pregnancy changes, this procedure can provide transformative benefits. Here’s what makes a good candidate for mommy makeover surgery:

Post-Pregnancy Changes

Mommy makeover is perfect for those experiencing:

  • Breast volume loss, sagging, or shape changes from pregnancy and nursing
  • Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) and excess skin
  • Stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise
  • Loss of overall body contour and proportion

Life Stage Considerations

Consider mommy makeover surgery if you:

  • Have completed your family and don’t plan future pregnancies
  • Have maintained stable weight for at least 6 months
  • Are finished breastfeeding (typically wait 3-6 months after)
  • Are emotionally ready to invest time in yourself

Health and Lifestyle Factors

Good candidates should:

  • Be in overall good health
  • Have realistic expectations about results and recovery
  • Be a non-smoker or willing to quit before surgery
  • Have a reliable support system for the recovery period

Mommy Makeover Surgery FAQs

What’s the recovery time for a mommy makeover?

You’ll need help at home for 1-2 weeks, especially if you have young children, but most patients return to light activities within a week. Everyone heals differently, but you’ll have our full support from day one. Plan on 1-2 weeks of support for childcare and household responsibilities.

Will my results look natural?

Absolutely. Dr. Diaz is known for his artistic approach and natural-looking outcomes. His goal is to help you feel like the best version of yourself, never overdone, always authentic. Results enhance your natural beauty rather than changing who you are.

When is the best time for a mommy makeover?

When the time feels right for you. Most patients wait until they’re finished having children and their weight has been stable for at least 6 months. Emotionally, it’s about being ready to invest in yourself after years of giving so much to others.

Can I Combine additional procedures?

Yes! Liposuction of the back is common, as is fat transfer to the buttocks. Dr. Diaz will help you choose the safest, most effective approach based on your goals while maintaining safety as the top priority.

How long do mommy makeover results last?

With a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, results can last for many years. While aging continues, your surgical results remain a long-term investment in your confidence and well-being.

What if I get pregnant after my mommy makeover?

Future pregnancies can affect your results. For that reason, we recommend waiting until your family is complete before moving forward with surgery to ensure the longevity of your investment.

Will insurance cover any part of my mommy makeover?

In some cases, portions of your procedure, such as hernia repair or breast reduction, may qualify for insurance coverage. Our staff can help you navigate the process and submit all necessary documentation.

How much pain should i expect?

Most patients describe discomfort as manageable and well-controlled with medication. Many switch to Tylenol after the first week and are pleasantly surprised by how quickly they feel like themselves again.
