As moms, we often prioritize the needs of our families over our own, but it's essential to take time for self-care and embrace the opportunity to enhance our confidence and well-being. Mother’s Day is a reminder of the incredible journey of motherhood but also a time to reflect on and treat ourselves. If you feel that the physical changes brought about by pregnancy and motherhood are impacting your self-confidence, and you wish to reclaim your pre-pregnancy curves, it might be the right time to consider a Mommy Makeover.
Following pregnancy, there are many physical changes to the body that can take a toll on a new mother’s body. This includes sagging breasts, unwanted excess skin and fat, cellulite, and stretch marks. It can be difficult to restore your figure prior to giving birth, even when executing healthy habits such as exercising and eating right.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer the mommy makeover procedure. A mommy makeover is a combination of body contouring procedures that can target the upper, mid, or lower body. This procedure is highly customized to suit the needs, goals, and desires of each individual patient.
Mommy makeover can include combination procedures and treatments such as tummy tuck, liposuction, breast enhancement, vaginal rejuvenation, skin care, and more. In many cases, the selected procedures can be performed during one session, reducing the necessary downtime required following surgery.
What Are My Mommy Makeover Options?
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, can tighten weakened abdominal muscles and lax skin to improve the appearance of the midsection. Loose skin, excess fat, and stretch marks can be addressed with tummy tuck surgery, providing patients with a natural-looking contoured waistline.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can improve the appearance of the breasts by altering the size and shape to restore the natural contours of the breasts. Breast augmentation utilizes breast implants to recreate fuller, more shapely breasts following a loss of volume from pregnancy or breast feeding.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery can restore the appearance of sagging, drooping breasts by repositioning the breasts to a more youthful and lifted position. Breast lift can enhance the size and shape or the breasts by removing excess skin and tissue for shapelier breasts.
Liposuction
Liposuction can precisely remove stubborn fat to provide a more contoured appearance to different areas of the body. Liposuction can target the abdomen, thighs, waist, legs, hips, and more to achieve a toned, sculpted physique. During mommy makeover, liposuction is often combined with tummy tuck to tighten and tone the midsection.

A mommy makeover combines a variety of surgical procedures to address some of the common physical changes following pregnancy. Often after giving birth, the breasts begin to sag or deflate, and the abdomen holds excess skin, stretch marks, and bulging. This procedure is highly customized to suit the needs, goals, and desires of each individual patient.
Mommy makeover combinations may include breast enhancement, liposuction, tummy tuck, and vaginal rejuvenation.
Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover?
If you have developed physical changes in your body following pregnancy and you are in overall good health, then you may be an ideal candidate for mommy makeover. Other important factors also include if you are finished having children, and if you are currently breastfeeding.
Each mommy makeover is uniquely tailored for each patient's health concerns and goals. These factors are important when determining what areas of the body to target and what combination of procedures to use for your mommy makeover.
Prior to scheduling the procedure, a physical examination will be conducted to discuss goals, concerns, and more to properly decide what combination of procedures to perform.
Mommy makeover targets:
-
Breasts that have deflated due to breast feeding or weight loss
-
Stretch marks
-
Pockets of fat
-
Excess skin
-
Weakened or separated abdominal muscles
How many treatments does mommy makeover include?
One of the benefits of the mommy makeover is that multiple procedures can be combined and performed at once. Additional treatments following the initial mommy makeover is dependent on what procedures were originally performed. Factors such as overall health and patient goals will be taken into account prior to the mommy makeover procedure.
How soon after having children should I consider a mommy makeover?
It is preferred that you have returned to your pre-pregnancy weight, are done having kids, and it is at least three to six months following breastfeeding that you choose to undergo a mommy makeover.
What will my recovery be like?
The recovery process and timeline will vary from patient to patient depending on which procedures were performed. Downtime can range between two to six weeks, and is discussed during the consultation appointment.
