Planning a Mommy Makeover: What Procedures Are Included

Q: What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction, designed to restore your body after pregnancy and childbirth.

Introduction: Reclaiming Your Confidence After Motherhood

Motherhood is a transformative journey—emotionally, mentally, and physically. While it brings immeasurable joy, it also brings significant changes to a woman’s body. Stretched skin, sagging breasts, stubborn fat, and weakened abdominal muscles are all common postpartum concerns. A Mommy Makeover is designed to restore your body—and your confidence—after pregnancy and childbirth.

At VIVE Plastic Surgery, we specialize in personalized Mommy Makeover procedures that honor your unique body, goals, and motherhood journey.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic surgeries performed in a single session or staged over time. Its purpose is to address the areas most affected by pregnancy—typically the breasts, abdomen, and waistline.

This procedure is not one-size-fits-all. Each makeover is tailored to your specific needs, body type, and recovery preferences. You’ll work with our expert surgical team to choose the right procedures for your goals.

Core Procedures Typically Included

1. Breast Augmentation and/or Lift

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often lead to loss of breast volume, sagging, or asymmetry.

Breast Augmentation: Uses implants to restore volume and shape.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts, with or without implants.
Breast Reduction: In some cases, patients choose to reduce size for comfort and proportion.

We help you choose the technique that best enhances your natural figure.

2. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

After childbirth, the abdominal muscles and skin can remain stretched and loose.

Removes excess skin and fat
Repairs diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles)
Flattens and tones the abdominal area

This is one of the most requested parts of a Mommy Makeover because of its transformative results.

3. Liposuction

Stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise often remain after pregnancy.

Targets the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and back
Enhances body contour and creates a more sculpted figure
Can be combined with fat transfer procedures (like a Brazilian Butt Lift)

Liposuction helps refine your silhouette and complement other procedures.

Optional Add-On Procedures

Your Mommy Makeover can also include:

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Uses your own fat to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks.
Labiaplasty: Reshapes or reduces the labia for aesthetic or comfort reasons.
Arm or Thigh Lift: Tightens loose skin after weight fluctuations.
Facial rejuvenation treatments: Some women also opt for non-surgical facial procedures for a complete transformation.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be ready for a Mommy Makeover if you:

Are in good general health
Have completed your family (not planning more pregnancies)
Are at or near your ideal body weight
Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook
Are non-smoking (or willing to stop during the surgical process)

A Mommy Makeover is not a substitute for weight loss, but it enhances the results of a healthy lifestyle.

Recovery: What to Expect

Because multiple procedures are done at once, recovery time can be longer—but more efficient overall.

Expect 2–4 weeks of downtime for healing.
You’ll wear compression garments and may have temporary surgical drains.
Avoid lifting heavy objects (including children) for several weeks.
Gradually return to normal activities, with full recovery in about 6–8 weeks.

At VIVE, our team provides detailed aftercare guidance to ensure safe and comfortable healing.

The Emotional Benefits

Many women report that the Mommy Makeover is not just about physical transformation—it’s about emotional renewal. Regaining control over their appearance often leads to:

Improved self-esteem
Greater motivation to stay healthy
Renewed intimacy and confidence
A restored sense of identity as both a mother and an individual
