Mommy
Makeover
Restore Your Pre-Baby Figure
Having a baby is one of the most miraculous things your body can do. But nine months of pregnancy can wreak havoc on your figure. If you’re finished having children, there’s something that can help get your body back to its pre-baby glory: the mommy makeover. This customized set of procedures is highly personalized, focusing on all areas that were affected by pregnancy and childbirth to help you look and feel more confident again.
What is a
Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combined surgical procedure that targets the areas of the body that are commonly stretched during pregnancy. The areas for surgery are the breasts and nipples, abdomen, and waist. Though each of these procedures can be performed separately, during a mommy makeover, they are done together to reduce cost and recovery time after surgery.
Customize Your Mommy Makeover
Your body, your goals and your experiences are unique. A mommy makeover is designed to reflect that, with a surgical plan driven by what matters most to you. Here are some of the procedures that are most often performed as part of a mommy makeover.
Breast Augmentation
Breast Lift
Liposuction
Tummy Tuck
Labiaplasty
Nipple Reduction
Other Procedures
Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover
If you’re finished having children and want to reclaim firmer, more youthful body contours, a mommy makeover may be right for you. Many of the changes that occur after pregnancy and breastfeeding can’t be addressed through diet and exercise, but a mommy makeover can help you achieve your goals with a highly personalized treatment plan designed just for you.
A mommy makeover can address the following concerns to help you feel confident and comfortable in your post-baby body:
- Breasts that sag or droop
- Breasts that feel smaller or have no mass
- Nipples that point downward
- Areolas that are bigger or wider than you would like
- Excess or skin on the hips or waist
- A sagging abdomen with a noticeable bulge
- Stretch marks
- You’re unhappy with your body after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- You want to feel confident in your old clothes
To be considered for a mommy makeover, you should be in good overall health with no pre-existing conditions that could impact healing. It’s also important to have realistic expectations and be at or near your ideal weight. Non-smokers are preferred candidates, as are women with no future pregnancies planned for the best long-term results.
A consultation with our experienced team is the first step in determining if a mommy makeover is right for you. At PURE, our double-board-certified plastic surgeons take the time to understand your concerns and motivations, evaluate your medical history, and review your options in detail so you can make informed, confident decisions about your procedure.
What Should I Expect at My Consultation?
Moms are used to putting everyone else first, but taking time to focus on yourself matters. At PURE Plastic Surgery, your mommy makeover consultation is all about you, providing an opportunity to ask questions, explore options and understand what’s possible. You’ll talk openly about your concerns and review before-and-after photos of real patients to see the kind of transformation you can expect with your procedure.
You can book an in-person meeting at our Miami office or schedule a virtual consultation to talk with our surgeons or care coordinators over the phone or via video chat. We recommend coming prepared with a list of your questions to get the most out of your consultation.
What to Expect During a Mommy Makeover
No two mommy makeovers are exactly alike, so your experience will be unique to you. To help you feel prepared and comfortable for your procedure, your surgeon will review the steps in detail and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Mommy makeovers are performed at our accredited, state-of-the-art surgical facility in Miami, Florida. Since multiple surgeries are combined into one, a mommy makeover can take several hours to complete. However, you’ll have the benefit of undergoing a single operation, which means less time off from work and a more streamlined recovery process.
On the day of your surgery, you will meet with your anesthesia team to discuss the best methods for your surgery. For extensive surgeries like a mommy makeover, general anesthesia is used. The exact details of your procedure will vary depending on your surgical plan, but may involve repairing separated abdominal muscles, removing excess skin and fat, inserting implants or lifting sagging breasts.
Upon completing your procedure, your surgeon will close your incisions and apply wraps or bandages to prevent blood clots and promote healing. You’ll then be moved to a recovery area and monitored for potential side effects as the anesthesia wears off. You’ll be groggy for a few hours after surgery, so you’ll need to arrange for a ride home with a friend or family member.
Elevate Your Results With the “Trifecta Perfecta”
The Trifecta Perfecta is one of our signature approaches, pairing popular mommy makeover procedures (including breast surgery, a tummy tuck and liposuction) with an arm lift to restore a beautifully contoured hourglass figure. Breast augmentation, a breast lift or both enhance breast volume and shape, while a tummy tuck restores a smoother, firmer midsection. An arm lift completes the transformation by removing loose skin in the upper arms for results that look balanced, natural and true to you.
Recovery
The more procedures you undergo during your mommy makeover, the longer your recovery will be. But you’ll be glad you chose to do it all at once instead of handling multiple recovery periods. When you wake up from surgery, you'll notice that you’ve been wrapped in compression garments while your incisions heal. If you underwent a breast or abdomen procedure, you should also have a special bra around your breasts and a wrap around your midsection. You’ll have bruising, pain and swelling after surgery, which will take a few weeks to subside. You’ll want to follow your doctor’s post-op instructions for avoiding sexual activity, exercise and heavy lifting for at least six to eight weeks following your mommy makeover.
Results
Some changes are visible soon after surgery, but your final results will take some time to develop. Swelling is a normal part of the healing process that can take several weeks or longer to fully resolve, during which time your new contours will continue to settle and refine. Because each mommy makeover is customized, outcomes vary, but patients can expect to see improved abdominal contours, restored breast shape and a more balanced appearance that better reflects how they want their body to look and feel.
Discover Strategic Contour Enhancements With SMART Tuck™
Some mommy makeover patients choose to add SMART Tuck to their procedure to further refine their results. SMART Tuck combines a tummy tuck with advanced liposculpture techniques to strategically enhance overall body contours. It includes ab etching to improve abdominal definition, sub-axillary liposuction to smooth away “bra bulges,” and fat transfer to the hip dips to create a smoother, more balanced silhouette.
