What is a Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy affects many areas of your body at the same time. Correcting its effects requires a mommy makeover, a customizable body sculpting procedure. A mommy makeover is a combination procedure that targets the areas most commonly affected by pregnancy. It helps you reclaim your confidence and feel like your pre-baby self. It combines multiple procedures, so you only have one surgery and recovery time.
Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Your safety is the most important factor when considering a mommy makeover. All candidates must be in good health and able to undergo surgery safely. Good candidates for a mommy makeover are bothered by pregnancy-related changes and want to correct them all with a single procedure. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have reasonable expectations
- You can take the necessary time to recover
- You are at least six months past your last pregnancy
- You do not plan to have future pregnancies that would undo your results
A mommy makeover may be a good choice if you are healthy and have reasonable goals. Only a consultation and review of your medical history will determine whether you are a good candidate.
What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover can include a wide range of procedures. The most common procedures include:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Labiaplasty
- Liposuction
Liposuction can be used almost anywhere on the body that has accumulated stubborn fat during pregnancy. You can also add other procedures if you have areas of particular concern. You can also add non-surgical procedures such as injectables or laser skin resurfacing for a more youthful look to go with your sculpted figure.

What is Recovery Like After a Mommy Makeover?
You can expect swelling and soreness after your mommy makeover. Dr. Rankin will prescribe medications for the first few days. Many people can return to work within one to two weeks. However, you cannot lift over ten pounds for at least 4 weeks after surgery. Dr. Rankin will assess your healing during follow-up visits and advise when to return to your exercise routine and other strenuous activities.
How Long Will My Mommy Makeover Last?
A mommy makeover will not halt the progression of aging, but it can last a long time. People who lead a healthy lifestyle can maintain their results for a lifetime. Breast augmentation may need another procedure years into the future to replace your implants, which have a lifespan of about ten to fifteen years. You can still expect some natural age-related changes, such as increased skin laxity.
