One surgery. One recovery. Your body back — by Dr. Tim Neavin
Pregnancy changes your body in ways that diet and exercise can’t reverse: separated muscles, deflated breasts, loose skin that no amount of planks will tighten. A mommy makeover combines the procedures you need into a single surgery with a single recovery, customized to what your body actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all package.

Most practices sell a mommy makeover as a fixed menu: breast augmentation plus tummy tuck plus liposuction. Three procedures, one price, everyone gets the same thing. The problem is that pregnancy affects every body differently. Some women lose breast volume but their abdomen bounces back. Others have significant muscle separation but their breasts are fine. A package deal either gives you surgery you don’t need or skips what you actually do.
Dr. Neavin builds each mommy makeover from scratch. He evaluates what pregnancy changed — breast volume and position, abdominal muscle integrity, skin elasticity, fat distribution — then designs a surgical plan that addresses your specific anatomy. Your combination might include a breast lift without implants, or a tummy tuck with diastasis repair but no lipo, or all of it together. The plan is yours.
The other advantage of Dr. Neavin’s approach: because everything is done in one operation, you get one anesthesia event and one recovery period. Instead of spacing three surgeries over two years, you consolidate the entire restoration into a single downtime of 10–14 days for light activity. Your body heals once, and you move on.
Surgically reconnects abdominal muscles separated during pregnancy — the one thing exercise physically cannot fix.
Breast, abdomen, and body contouring tailored to what your body actually needs — not a preset package.
All procedures performed together so you heal once instead of scheduling multiple surgeries over years.

A mommy makeover is the most complex procedure in cosmetic surgery because it isn’t one procedure — it’s three or four performed in sequence during a single operation. The surgeon has to be equally skilled at breast work, abdominal surgery, and body contouring, and has to understand how changes in one area affect the proportions of everything else.
Dr. Neavin has performed over 500 mommy makeovers in his career. He approaches each one as a full-body composition — evaluating how the breasts, waist, and abdomen relate to each other and designing a plan that restores balance across all of them. His diastasis repairs are particularly noted by patients who say their core feels stronger than it did before pregnancy.
He’s also direct about what’s worth doing and what isn’t. If your breasts don’t need surgery, he won’t sell you breast surgery. If liposuction alone will accomplish what you need, he’ll skip the tummy tuck. The plan matches your body, not a template.
Most patients return to light daily activity within 10–14 days. The first week involves the most discomfort — manageable with prescribed medication. You’ll wear a compression garment and surgical bra during the initial healing phase. By week three to four, most women are back to work and social life. Full exercise resumes at six to eight weeks. Final results refine over three to six months as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
Women who are finished having children, at or near a stable weight, and dealing with post-pregnancy changes that diet and exercise haven’t resolved — loose abdominal skin, separated muscles, deflated or sagging breasts, stubborn fat deposits. You should be done breastfeeding for at least three months and ideally 6–12 months post-delivery before scheduling surgery.
A mommy makeover investment varies based on which procedures your plan includes. You’ll receive a personalized quote during your consultation that covers surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, facility, and all follow-up care. Financing options are available for qualified candidates, and combining procedures into one surgery is more cost-effective than staging them separately.
Removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles — the core component of most mommy makeovers.
Restores fullness lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding with implants or fat transfer.
Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts without implants — ideal when position is the concern, not volume.
Targets stubborn fat in the flanks, thighs, and back that won’t respond to exercise.
Reduces size while reshaping for natural proportion — an option for post-pregnancy breasts that grew and stayed.
Addresses changes to intimate areas after childbirth — can be combined with a mommy makeover.
There’s no fixed list. A mommy makeover is a custom combination based on what your body needs. Common components include tummy tuck with diastasis repair, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction. Some patients add a breast reduction, labiaplasty, or fat transfer. Dr. Neavin designs each plan from scratch during your consultation based on your anatomy and goals.
Most patients return to light activity within 10–14 days and feel comfortable back at work and social life by week three to four. Full exercise resumes at six to eight weeks. Recovery varies by which procedures are included, but the advantage of combining them is one recovery period instead of multiple.
Yes. Future pregnancies are safe, but they’ll likely reverse your results — especially the diastasis repair and any breast work. Most patients wait until their family is complete. You should also be finished breastfeeding and at a stable weight for at least several months before scheduling.
Diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles that happens during pregnancy when the growing uterus pushes the left and right sides apart. Once they’ve separated, no amount of crunches or planks can knit them back together — the tissue between the muscles has stretched beyond its ability to recover. Surgical repair sutures the muscles back to the midline, restoring core strength and flattening the lower abdomen. This is often the most impactful part of a mommy makeover.
Dr. Neavin places all incisions within the bikini line for abdominal work, and breast incisions follow natural contours around the areola or in the crease. Scars fade significantly over 12–18 months and are designed to be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit. Patients consistently say scarring is far less noticeable than they expected.
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon in an accredited facility. Combining procedures means one anesthesia event rather than multiple, which in many cases is actually safer than staging surgeries separately. Dr. Neavin evaluates your health thoroughly and will only recommend combining what your body can safely handle in one session. If the combination is too extensive, he’ll recommend staging.
