What is Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover refers to a personalized combination of cosmetic surgical procedures designed to address the physical effects of pregnancy and childbirth. Patient safety is our highest priority throughout every step of the mommy makeover process, from consultation to final recovery. Most commonly, this surgery includes breast surgery (augmentation, lift, or reduction), abdominal contouring (such as a tummy tuck), and liposuction. By combining surgeries, a mommy makeover targets multiple areas in one procedure, minimizing overall downtime and recovery.

Reasons to Consider a Mommy Makeover

Dissatisfaction with post-pregnancy body changes

Stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise

Sagging or deflated breasts

Loose or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)

Desire for a more youthful, contoured figure

Multiple procedures combined in a single operation offer comprehensive transformation with one recovery period.

Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover

No two mommy makeovers are exactly alike. Each plan is tailored to your unique anatomy, concerns, and goals. The procedures involved are carefully sequenced to maximize efficiency and optimize aesthetic outcomes. Below are the most commonly included procedures in a mommy makeover.

Breast Correction Options

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause breasts to lose volume, sag, or become asymmetrical. Mommy makeover breast procedures may include:

Breast Augmentation With Implants

Breast augmentation restores or increases breast volume using saline or silicone implants. This option is ideal for patients who have lost fullness or want a more balanced shape. Many women seek to adjust their breast size to achieve better proportion with their overall figure. Learn more about breast augmentation with implants.

Breast Lift

A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This can restore a more youthful contour without necessarily increasing cup size. Discover your options for a breast lift.

Breast Reduction

For women experiencing discomfort or self-consciousness due to enlarged breasts, reduction surgery removes excess tissue and reshapes the breasts for improved comfort and aesthetics. Explore breast reduction details here.

Midsection Contouring

The abdominal area is often the focus of a mommy makeover, as pregnancy can stretch skin and muscles beyond natural repair. This procedure, performed by Dr. Pazmiño, typically addresses the separation of stomach muscles that occurs during pregnancy, known as diastasis recti. Luckily, the following procedures can address these concerns:

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles, producing a flatter, firmer midsection. Muscle repair is an essential component of a tummy tuck, restoring core strength and improving posture. See how a tummy tuck can transform your silhouette.

Liposuction or Lipo 360

Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in the abdomen, flanks, back, and other areas for a smoother contour. Lipo 360 treats the entire core region, addressing the front, sides, and back for a comprehensive result. Strategic techniques remove excess fat from stubborn areas that do not respond to diet and exercise alone. Read more about liposuction options.

Upper Body

An arm lift can be included to address sagging skin and excess fat in the upper arms for a more complete transformation. Some women also correct their bra rolls and other issues.

Lower Body and Additional Enhancements

Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)

Some women choose to enhance their curves with buttock augmentation, which can include fat transfer (Brazilian butt lift) for a fuller, rounder shape. Dr. Pazmiño takes the patient’s own fat from liposuction areas for natural enhancement in the butt region. Explore butt augmentation possibilities.

Thigh Lift

This advanced treatment addresses cosmetic and functional issues in the inner and outer thighs. It is often included in a mommy makeover procedure for excellent results. Treatment of loose skin on the thighs can dramatically improve skin tone and overall leg contour.

Non-Surgical and Reconstructive Procedures

Although a mommy makeover is usually surgical, some patients opt to add non-surgical treatments—such as Botox or dermal fillers—to address facial aging or rejuvenate the skin. Non-surgical procedures can effectively complement surgical results, especially for addressing skin texture issues. In select cases, reconstructive procedures may also be included to restore form and function.

Preparing for Your Mommy Makeover

During your initial consultation, you will discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Dr. Pazmiño will perform a physical examination, assess your candidacy, and outline a customized surgical plan. This is your opportunity to ask questions and gain a clear understanding of what to expect.

Preparation and Do’s & Don’ts Before Surgery

Medical Evaluation: Complete any required lab tests or medical clearances.

Medications: Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements as directed.

Smoking: Quit smoking at least several weeks before surgery.

Arrange Support: Secure a caregiver for the initial recovery period.

Preoperative Instructions: Follow all pre-op guidelines provided by your surgical team, including fasting and showering protocols.

It is recommended that women wait until they have completed breastfeeding for at least six months before scheduling their procedure.

What Happens During a
Mommy Makeover Surgery

What Happens During a Mommy Makeover Surgery

Incisions

Incision placement depends on the specific procedures being performed. For abdominal contouring, a horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area. Breast procedures may involve incisions around the areola, along the breast crease, or vertically down the lower breast. Additional small incisions may be made for liposuction. The surgical plan is designed to keep scars as discreet as possible.

Contouring and Reshaping

Once incisions are made, Dr. Pazmiño begins reshaping the targeted areas. This often involves tightening abdominal muscles, removing excess skin, and eliminating unwanted fat through liposuction. Breast tissue may be lifted, augmented with implants, or reduced depending on the patient’s goals. The goal is to restore a more youthful, balanced, and contoured appearance to the torso and surrounding regions.

Incision Closure

After reshaping, all incisions are meticulously closed using layered sutures in the deeper tissues, with skin closure performed using sutures, surgical tape, or skin adhesives. This layered approach supports optimal healing and minimizes scar visibility over time. Surgical dressings are applied to protect the incisions during the initial healing phase.

Recovery After Mommy Makeover

Recovery time varies between patients, but most women can return to light activities within two weeks. The recovery process includes gradually increasing activity levels while closely monitoring healing progress.

Recovery Timeline and Tips

Week 1: Initial swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Rest is crucial; walking is encouraged to improve circulation.

Weeks 2-4: Gradual improvement in energy and mobility. Light activities can be resumed as advised.

Weeks 4-6: Most patients return to work and normal daily routines, avoiding strenuous activity.

3+ Months: Swelling continues to subside; final results begin to emerge.

Tips for a smoother recovery:

Follow our surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully.

Take medications as prescribed to manage discomfort and prevent infection.

Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to promote healing.

Scarring and Drainage

Scarring is a natural part of the healing process. Incisions are typically placed in discreet locations and will fade over time. Surgical drains may be placed temporarily to prevent fluid buildup, depending on your specific procedures.

Wearing Compression Garments

Compression garments are essential for reducing swelling, supporting healing tissues, and helping your new contours take shape. Wear them as directed for optimal results.

Need for a Caregiver

You will need someone to drive you home after surgery and assist with daily tasks during the first several days of recovery. Arranging for help is vital to ensure a safe and comfortable healing process. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort during the initial recovery phase. Anti-inflammatory drugs may be recommended to help reduce swelling and improve comfort during healing.

How to Reduce Swelling

Wear compression garments consistently.

Elevate your upper body while resting.

Avoid salty foods, which can increase fluid retention.

Take short walks to stimulate circulation.

When Can You Return to Normal Activity?

Most patients can resume non-strenuous work within 2-4 weeks, but full recovery—including exercise and heavy lifting—may take up to 6-8 weeks. Always follow our surgeon’s advice for a safe timeline.

Mommy Makeover Results

You can expect to see early improvements within the first few weeks, with continued changes as swelling resolves. The final results of your mommy makeover will become fully evident after several months, revealing smoother contours and a rejuvenated appearance. A more youthful appearance is one of the most celebrated benefits patients report after healing.

Results Timeline

Immediate: Noticeable improvement in shape and symmetry.

1-3 Months: Swelling decreases, scars begin to fade, and results become more defined.

6-12 Months: Final results are visible, with scars continuing to mature and fade. While surgery can significantly improve stretch marks, some may remain visible with improved texture and color.

Many women report increased confidence, improved comfort, and satisfaction with their appearance after a mommy makeover. Consistent follow-up and healthy lifestyle habits can help you enjoy your new look for years to come.

Good Candidates for a Mommy Makeover

Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are women who:

Are at or near their ideal body weight (significant weight fluctuations can affect the results)

Are in good overall health

Have completed childbearing and breastfeeding

Do not smoke, or are willing to quit before surgery

Have realistic expectations for improvement, not perfection

It is advisable to wait at least six months to one year after childbirth and the completion of breastfeeding before considering a mommy makeover. This allows your body to recover fully and your tissues to stabilize, ensuring optimal results.
Future pregnancies can reverse or diminish the results of cosmetic procedures. For lasting outcomes, it’s best to postpone surgery until you are certain your family is complete.
Each mommy makeover is tailored to your unique anatomy, aesthetic goals, and preferences. During your consultation, Dr. Pazmiño will recommend a personalized combination of procedures based on your needs.

Comprehensive Results: Multiple concerns—such as sagging breasts, loose abdominal skin, and excess fat—are addressed together.

Fewer Downtimes: By combining procedures, there’s only one recovery period.

Long-Lasting Outcomes: Results are designed to be permanent, provided a stable weight is maintained.

Restores Confidence: Many women report a significant boost in self-esteem and body image after their mommy makeover.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

How should I prepare my home for recovery after a mommy makeover?

Before your surgery, create a comfortable recovery space with everything you need within easy reach. Stock up on loose, button-front clothing that does not require lifting your arms, prepare meals in advance and freeze them, arrange childcare for at least two weeks, and modify your sleeping area with extra pillows for elevation. Install nightlights for bathroom trips, purchase a shower chair, and have gentle stool softeners on hand, as pain medications can cause constipation. Many patients also find it helpful to arrange their recovery area on the main floor of their home to avoid stairs during the initial healing period.

Can I combine a mommy makeover with vaginal rejuvenation procedures?

Yes, many surgeons now offer comprehensive mommy makeovers that include vaginal rejuvenation procedures, such as labiaplasty or vaginoplasty. Childbirth can cause stretching and changes to the vaginal area that affect both appearance and function. These additional procedures can address concerns like labial enlargement or vaginal laxity. The recovery for these combined procedures typically requires special care for about 6-8 weeks, including abstaining from sexual activity and using specialized cleansing techniques. This combination has become increasingly popular as it allows women to address all post-pregnancy body concerns in a single surgical plan.

How does weight fluctuation affect mommy makeover results?

Significant weight fluctuations after a mommy makeover can compromise your surgical results. Weight gain can stretch the skin and add new fat deposits, potentially reversing the contouring achieved through liposuction and tummy tuck procedures. Weight loss might create additional skin laxity or affect breast volume after augmentation. Most surgeons recommend maintaining a stable weight within 10-15 pounds of your surgical weight for optimal, long-lasting results. We advise patients to reach their target weight and keep it for at least 6 months before undergoing a mommy makeover.

What non-surgical procedures can complement a mommy makeover for enhanced results?

Several non-surgical treatments can enhance and maintain your mommy makeover results. Options include radiofrequency skin tightening to improve skin texture and elasticity, specialized scar treatments using silicone sheets or laser therapy to minimize surgical scarring, and regular lymphatic drainage massage to reduce post-surgical swelling and improve circulation. Many patients also benefit from customized skincare regimens to address stretch marks and maintain skin quality. These complementary treatments typically begin 4-6 weeks after surgery, when initial healing is complete, and can significantly enhance your overall outcome.

How does the timing of a mommy makeover affect breastfeeding possibilities for future children?

While a mommy makeover is typically recommended after completing your family, some women may later decide to have more children. Certain breast procedures, particularly those involving incisions around the areola or nipple repositioning, can potentially affect milk ducts and nerves essential for breastfeeding. If future breastfeeding is possible, discuss this with Dr. Pazmiño, as he may modify techniques to preserve breast function. For example, submuscular implant placement and certain types of breast lifts have less impact on lactation. Additionally, planning a staged approach—addressing the abdomen first and breasts later—might be appropriate if you’re uncertain about future pregnancies.
