What is a Mommy Makeover (MMO)?
A mommy makeover is a rejuvenating procedure that allows postpartum women to regain their self-love and confidence. Using different surgical combinations, a mommy makeover re-establishes the shape of a woman’s body postpartum, depending on their individual needs or concerns. This can involve enhancing a mother’s face, breasts, buttocks, waist and abdomen through customized services.
The procedure is not exclusively for moms. While the term "Mommy Makeover" is commonly used to describe a combination of cosmetic surgeries aimed at restoring a woman's body after childbirth, these procedures can benefit anyone looking to address similar areas of concern, such as a sagging tummy or breasts, in one session. Individuals with significant weight loss or who want to enhance their body contour can also consider the procedure.
Benefits of Mommy Makeovers
There are countless reasons to consider this life-changing procedure that addresses multiple problematic areas of a woman’s body at once. Some of these reasons are:
- Improves skin tone and elasticity.
- Smoother, firmer abdomen without unsightly loose skin.
- Perkier breasts that look more youthful and don’t sag.
- Removal of loose skin and stretchmarks
- Results will be incredibly positive both physically and mentally
- By performing various surgical procedures at the same time, you drastically reduce your recovery time.
- It can help with preexisting medical issues such as hernias, urinary incontinence, and reducing back pain.
- Can help with insecurities such as drooping breasts, reducing or augmenting size, and adjusting body proportions.

What procedures are included in a Mommy Makeover?
Breast Enhancements
- This procedure restores and enlarges the size of a woman’s breast after pregnancy, making them fuller and balanced. Unfortunately, this procedure on its own will not correct drooping breast but that can be addressed with a breast lift.
- With aging, weight loss, pregnancy and more, women naturally lose firmness and shaping in their breast. A lift will tighten the skin surrounding the breast and raise them to achieve the desired height and placement. While a breast lift assists in placement, it doesn’t change sizing, if that is a desired effect, it would be best to pair it with an augmentation as well.
- A breast reduction can assist women when they suffer from physical discomfort and emotional distress caused by excessive weight in their breasts. This weight can cause medical issues, back pain and make everyday physical activities impossible. By removing excess fat, you can also achieve your desired look for your body.
Midsection Contour
- This procedure removes undesired fat deposits in various areas of the body. It is done by inserting a thin and hallow tube into the desired area in which it eliminates the excess fat. This can flatten or reduce the size of certain areas and grant shape to a woman’s body. This can be done in combination with a tummy tuck, breast lift, and breast reduction as well.
- Similar to liposuction, it’s main purpose is to remove excess fat but also tissue and skin. It tightens and restores weakened muscles in the abdomen to create a firm and smooth profile. Although exercising and dieting can assist in fat loss, it is still incredibly difficult to achieve a flat abdomen. Additionally, pregnancy, excessive weight loss, and aging can lead to loose skin and sagging skin on the abdomen.
Lower Body Improvements
- Buttock augmentation can help to improve or contour the shape of your buttocks through buttocks implants or fat transfer (also known as Brazilian butt lift (BBL). Patients that ate too thin may not be good candidates for this procedure. If you decide to get buttock implants, you undergo a surgery where the doctor makes incisions to insert some gel silicone into your buttocks. On the contrary, if you get a BBL, the fat of other areas is transferred to your buttocks. Such as the fat that is extracted in a lipo.
- This involves a process similar to liposuction but without the lengthy recovery from surgery. It utilizes radio frequency to liquefy and get rid of excess fat on targeted areas. This also assists with tightening the skin.
Non-surgical and reconstructive procedures
The reality is that you have a lot of control over what you get during this type of Makeover. You can customize your Mommy Makeover to include any cosmetic treatments for your breasts, body or face. Labiaplasty to rejuvenate the vagina, J-Plasma, Dermal Fillers or Botox for your face are just a few of your options.

Drainages
Your drain should be removed about a week or two after your surgery. Sta in contact with your doctor to ensure that this appointment is made and taken care of.
