Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
The biggest benefit of a mommy makeover is regaining the body and confidence you once had before pregnancy and childbirth. As you know pregnancy and breastfeeding all change the body significantly. There are cases when women can diet and exercise and simply not achieve the body they once had.
Patients who undergo a mommy makeover procedure can expect the following:
- Improves Breast Shape and Volume: Since the mommy makeover usually includes augmentation, breast lift, or combination of both, it can restore fullness, symmetry and position.
- Repairs Abdominal Muscles: Commonly referred to as diastasis recti, pregnancy can cause separation of the abdominal muscles. No amount of exercise or diet will fix this problem. There will always be somewhat of an appearance of “stubborn belly fat” unless there is surgical intervention. That’s where a tummy tuck surgery allows these muscles to be brought back together, improving core stability, posture, and overall ab contour.
- Removes Stubborn Fat Deposits: Liposuction is often included to address fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Treating these areas with liposuction provides a more balanced and contoured silhouette.
- Improves Skin Laxity and Stretching: A mommy makeover can correct loose or stretched abdominal skin and remove areas of excess tissue that cannot be tightened naturally.
- Enhances Overall Body Proportions: Because multiple areas are addressed in one surgical plan, patients benefit from a more unified, harmonious result instead of treating concerns separately over years.
- Consolidation of Surgeries: Combining procedures into a single operation typically allows for one recovery period instead of multiple, which is especially helpful for mothers with limited downtime.
- Addresses Post-Pregnancy Intimate Area Concerns: For patients experiencing discomfort or aesthetic concerns of the labia after childbirth, labiaplasty can be included for improved comfort, symmetry, and function.
- Restores Confidence: While the goal is never to change how someone looks, many patients feel more aligned with their pre-pregnancy body after restoring balance and proportion.
Before & After Gallery from Real Patients
What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures performed during a single operation. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient, but most include a blend of the following procedures:
Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift
Enhancement of the breasts can involve a breast lift and augmentation or just one of the procedures. The decision will ultimately be made depending on the current anatomy of the patient. If the patient is satisfied with bust size, than a breast lift will be ideal. If the patient is interested in increasing breast size, an augmentation combined with a breast lift will provide the ultimate results.
Abdominal Procedures
The goal will be to restore the abdominal structure prior to pregnancy. In many cases, diet and exercise alone cannot correct or restore the midsection after pregnancy-related changes. Pregnancy can stretch the ab muscles and it can separate the rectus muscles (diatasis recti). This may leave loose or damaged skin behind. The restoration of the abdominal focuses on:
- Repairing the separated abdominal muscles
- Flattening and tightening the abdomen.
- Improving the waistline contour.
- Restoring functional support of the abs.
The main goal is not only a smooth and stronger abdominal area, but also one that is stronger and feels more like your pre-pregnancy body, and often times better.
Liposuction
There are many areas of stubborn fat that remain after pregnancy, regardless of continuous diet and exercise. Pregnancy changes the way a woman stores fat, especially around the common areas where fat is more commonly stored: abs, waist, hips and thighs. Liposuction is great at targeting these areas that are not responding to diet and exercise to:
- Sharpen the waistline and tighten the midsection.
- Restore the balance between the upper and lower body.
- Enhance overall body proportions.
- Smooth areas where fat has accumulated unevenly after childbirth.
It’s important to note, liposuction is not a “weight-loss procedure.” Meaning, it does not just strip away weight, instead it creates cleaner lines, improve definition to achieve a more streamlined silhouette. When combining liposuction with abdominal repair and breast enhancement, it helps unify the final shape so the results appear natural and symmetric.
Labiaplasty
Vaginal rejuvenation is not always common in a mommy makeover, but many women due experience stretching, elongation or asymmetry of the labia after childbirth. This can lead to both aesthetic and functional issues. A labiaplasty aims to:
- Reduce excess or stretched tissue.
- Improved comfort.
- Address irritation or chafing.
- Enhance confidence.
The goal is not to “change” the area dramatically but to create a result that looks natural, feels comfortable, and supports overall well-being.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Unlike other procedures, there are a bit more factors for being an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover.
Ideal Candidate
You’ve completed childbearing. Future pregnancies won’t harm your health, but they can reverse your results.
You are close to your goal weight. Small fluctuations are fine, but stable weight leads to longer-lasting results.
You have changes from pregnancy that cannot be fixed with diet or exercise. This may include separated abdominal muscles, loose skin, breast deflation or sagging, or stubborn fat pockets.
You are in good overall health. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, or certain medical issues may impact eligibility.
You have realistic expectations. A mommy makeover improves shape, contour, and proportion — not perfection.
You want to restore comfort as well as appearance. Many patients also seek relief from muscle weakness, skin laxity, or discomfort from enlarged labia after childbirth.
You can commit to the recovery period. Healing requires time, support at home, and avoiding heavy lifting for several weeks.
Not Ideal
You plan to become pregnant again. Pregnancy after surgery can stretch the abdomen and breasts again.
You are currently breastfeeding. Breast tissue and hormone levels must stabilize first.
You are significantly above your goal weight. Results are best when weight is stable and within a healthy range.
You smoke or vape nicotine. Nicotine severely affects wound healing — you must fully stop before surgery.
You cannot take time off for recovery. The procedure requires proper rest and care for safe healing.
You expect a “perfect body.” The goal is improvement and restoration, not creating an unrealistic or dramatically different appearance.
You have unmanaged medical conditions. These must be controlled before any elective surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the recovery after a mommy makeover?
Most patients return to light activity within 10–14 days. Full recovery varies depending on the combination of procedures but typically ranges from six to twelve weeks. Final results continue to refine over several months as swelling resolves.
Will my results look natural?
Yes. Dr. Neavin focuses on restoring proportion, balance, and natural contours—not creating an exaggerated or “overdone” look. Every surgical plan is tailored to your anatomy and goals to ensure long-lasting, natural results.
How soon after having a baby can I get a mommy makeover?
Most patients are ready 6–12 months after childbirth, once weight has stabilized and hormone levels have normalized. You must also be finished breastfeeding to ensure accurate breast evaluation and safe anesthesia.
Should I be done having children before getting a mommy makeover?
Yes. While future pregnancies are safe, they will likely affect your results, especially abdominal muscle repair and breast surgery. Most patients choose to wait until their family is complete.
How long do the results last?
Results are long-lasting with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Natural aging will continue, but the improvements to contour, muscle repair, and breast shape are designed to hold their results over many years.
Can I get a mommy makeover if I’m still losing weight?
You should be close to your goal weight and stable for several months. Significant weight changes after surgery can affect the results.
Can I combine multiple procedures in one surgery?
Yes. Combining procedures is one of the main advantages of a mommy makeover. It allows for one anesthesia event and one recovery period, making the process more efficient and cost-effective.
What happens if I lose more weight after a mommy makeover?
Losing a small amount of weight after surgery is completely fine and won’t affect your results. However, significant weight loss can change the appearance of your breasts, abdomen, and areas treated with liposuction. You may notice additional skin laxity or reduced volume, especially if you lose more than 10–15% of your body weight.
For the most stable, long-lasting outcome, it’s best to be near your goal weight—and maintaining it—before undergoing a mommy makeover.
