What Is a Mommy Makeover?
Mommy Makeover surgery actually refers to a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the areas of a woman’s body most affected by pregnancy and childbirth, including the breasts, abdomen, and hips. It’s common for women to experience stretched or separated abdominal muscles (a condition known as diastasis recti), which can be repaired during surgery to help rebuild core strength and contour.
More than just a physical transformation, a Mommy Makeover is about feeling comfortable, strong, and at home in your body again. Every procedure is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs and goals so that you can move forward with renewed confidence.
Mommy Makeover Benefits
Every Mommy Makeover is unique, but many women experience benefits such as:
- A flatter, more toned abdomen
- Restored breast shape and volume
- Smoother, more balanced body contours
- Stronger abdominal muscles and core support
- Relief from back pain or posture issues
- Fewer skin irritations or rashes from excess skin
- A renewed sense of self and body comfort
Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
A good candidate for any cosmetic surgery should be a non-smoker in good health, with realistic expectations for their results.
It’s also important that you are finished building your family and are not planning any future pregnancies. While you can still safely get pregnant after surgery, this can significantly affect your long-term results and may require additional procedures to correct those changes.

What Are My Options for Mommy Makeover Surgery?
Every woman’s body and goals are different, which is why no two Mommy Makeovers are exactly the same. During your consultation, Dr. Bedolla will take the time to listen closely to your concerns, evaluate your body, and create a customized surgical plan tailored to your needs.
Mommy Makeover surgery is performed under general anesthesia and may include a combination of the following procedures:
Breast Augmentation
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave you with breasts that are deflated and lack shape or projection. A breast augmentation uses breast implants to restore fullness, enhance shape, and bring back natural symmetry.
Breast Lift
Many women experience sagging, or breast ptosis, after nursing. A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts, restoring a youthful, perky appearance. For patients who also want to restore lost volume, a breast augmentation with lift offers both lift and fullness.
Tummy Tuck
The abdomen goes through significant changes during pregnancy, often resulting in stretched skin, weakened muscles, or a belly “pooch” or c-section “shelf.” A tummy tuck addresses all of this by removing excess skin and fat, tightening the abdominal muscles, repositioning the belly button, and creating a smoother, firmer midsection.
Liposuction
Pregnancy-related weight changes can cause fat deposits to form in areas like the hips, flanks, or thighs. Liposuction gently removes these fat deposits, helping to sculpt the body into a more balanced and refined silhouette.
Fat Transfer
Patients may also notice volume deflation in other areas after pregnancy, including the buttocks or hip dips. Transferring the fat harvested from a liposuction procedure to these areas can restore volume and create a more balanced and shapely contour.
What Is Mommy Makeover Recovery Like?
After your Mommy Makeover, you’ll spend some time under observation before being cleared to go home. You will be placed in surgical dressings, and small drains may be used to remove excess fluid.
A compression garment is typically worn to reduce swelling, support healing, and help shape your new contours. In the case of breast enhancement surgeries, a surgical bra may also be used to support the breasts as they heal and settle.
Most patients are able to return to work and other light activities within two weeks. However, it’s important to take your time and be gentle with yourself. Strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and exercise should be avoided for at least four to six weeks.
You will likely need assistance with child care, meal preparation, and general housekeeping for the first week or so. You won’t be able to lift your children for at least a month, so arrange for help accordingly.
Dr. Bedolla will give you personalized recovery instructions, including incision care, managing discomfort, and easing back into your daily routine. Following these instructions will help ensure a smooth, safe, and successful recovery.
What Results Can I Expect From Mommy Makeover Surgery?
Right after surgery, you may experience swelling and tightness that can obscure your initial results, especially around the abdomen. As your body heals over the following weeks and months, your new contours will gradually become more visible.
Scars from your incisions will take time to mature, often fading significantly over the course of a year or two with proper care.
Once healing is underway, most patients notice a more sculpted figure, lifted and fuller breasts, a tighter midsection, and an overall more balanced, youthful silhouette. Best of all, many women report that not only do they look better, but they also feel more like themselves again.
Your results will last for years to come, but it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a nourishing diet and regular exercise, to make your results last longer.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
Because Mommy Makeover surgery is a highly individualized surgery, costs vary widely from patient to patient. Factors that typically contribute to the final price include which procedures are incorporated in your surgical plan, the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia fees, and facility fees.
At your consultation, Dr. Bedolla will provide you with accurate Mommy Makeover pricing information and answer any questions you may have about your procedure.
