A mommy makeover is comprised of plastic surgery procedures that are combined to address unique aesthetic concerns caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and aging. A custom tailored treatment plan may include breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, tummy tuck, and/or body lift—based on the needs of the patient.
The board certified plastic surgeons of Regional Plastic Surgery Center specialize in the full range of mommy makeover options, and design individualized surgical plans that can deliver optimal results. Many women who undergo a mommy makeover at our practice are able to eliminate many visible signs of childbearing with natural-looking results. Very often, these same patients are even able to wear a bikini again!

The best candidates for a mommy makeover are women who are having a hard time achieving their pre-pregnancy physique. The procedure typically includes breast enhancement surgery such as breast augmentation or breast lift due to droopy breasts as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Mommy makeover is also an excellent treatment for women who are unsatisfied with stretched and sagging skin around the abdominal area. This can easily be eliminated through tummy tuck surgery, during which the abdominal muscles are tightened and the excess skin is removed. Pregnancy may also cause fat to accumulate in the areas of the hips, buttocks and lower back, which can be addressed through liposuction or body lift surgery. Women considering a mommy makeover surgery should be in good physical and emotional health. In addition, it is essential that mommy makeover be performed after you have stopped breastfeeding your child. If you are planning to have more children, a mommy makeover procedure may not be appropriate for you at this time.

Prior to the mommy makeover procedure, all of our plastic surgery patients are provided with a comprehensive one-on-one consultation with one of our talented plastic surgeons.

The recovery process and recuperation time following mommy makeover surgery greatly vary from one patient to another. Generally, our mommy makeover surgery patients may need between four to six weeks to fully recover. However, this is dependent on the set of procedures that you will choose to undergo. Our skilled plastic surgeons will inform you of all the postoperative risks and give you detailed instructions on how to recover safely and within a reasonable time period. To ensure a complication-free recovery, you may be advised to stay home for one to two weeks.
As with any invasive surgical procedure, your mommy makeover treatment may be associated with some risks and complications, which will be explained to you in great detail during your one-on-one consultation appointment with one of our surgeons.

The overall price for a mommy makeover depends upon the specific details of your treatment plan, namely which procedures you have chosen and the particulars of how they will be carried out. At the end of your consultation, your plastic surgeon will review the treatment plan you have discussed and provide an accurate quote for the cost of your mommy makeover. Factors that may influence the price of your treatment can include:
When possible, many mommy makeover patients choose to undergo multiple procedures during the span of a single operation to reduce cost, limit exposure to general anesthesia, consolidate the recovery period, and achieve comprehensive results on a shorter time table than multiple surgeries. Your surgeon will use his experience and skill to make your mommy makeover plan as efficient, cost-effective, and successful as possible.
