Read Time: ~ minutes
The Mommy Makeover is a personalized combination of plastic surgery procedures designed for women who are looking to reverse the physical toll of pregnancy and childbirth, including sagging breasts, excess fat in the abdominal region and lingering stretch marks. Given the fact that each Mommy Makeover treatment plan is personalized to suit the unique needs of the patient, the procedures performed may vary. However, some of the most common procedures incorporated into a Mommy Makeover include tummy tucks, breast lifts and liposuction procedures.
Why Should You Have a Mommy Makeover?
As most women find out after having a child, diet and exercise alone do not always allow you to regain your former shape and appearance. The Mommy Makeover can provide you with natural-looking results, allowing you to feel refreshed, rejuvenated and more confident as a mom.
Key Components of the Mommy Makeover
Dr. Christopher Schaffer will work to create a personalized Mommy Makeover treatment plan for you, allowing you to achieve the natural-looking results that you desire.
The key components that are commonly included as part of the Mommy Makeover include:
Tummy Tuck
Commonly referred to as the tummy tuck, the abdominoplasty procedure is almost always included as part of the Mommy Makeover surgical plan. During this plastic surgery procedure, Dr. Schaffer will rely on precise techniques to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin, ultimately improving the contour of the abdominal area and eliminating stretch marks.
Breast Lift
After pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, the breasts naturally lose elasticity and begin to sag. The breast lift is a plastic surgery procedure in which breast tissue is repositioned, and the nipples are lifted to give a rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Schaffer can accommodate your personal needs and preferences during this portion of the procedure, allowing you to enjoy results that leave you feeling confident and happy.
Liposuction
Excess weight can be difficult to lose, particularly after pregnancy and childbirth. Liposuction can quickly eliminate excess fat in areas of the body that are difficult to address through diet and exercise alone, such as the hips, thighs, buttocks and abdominal area.
Additional Procedures to Consider
You may also want to incorporate additional procedures into your Mommy Makeover, depending on your personal goals. Additional procedures to consider include:
- BBL™ BroadBand Light Therapy
- HALO® Laser Skin Resurfacing
- SculpSure®
- diVa® Vaginal Therapy
- Brazilian Butt Lift
Are You a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Given the fact that the Mommy Makeover requires you to undergo several plastic surgery procedures at one time, it is important to make sure that now is the optimal time to move forward with this procedure. You may be a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover if:
- You are in good physical health.
- You are psychologically ready for the procedure.
- You have realistic expectations of the end results.
- You are close to your goal weight.
- You do not intend to have any more children.

Testimonials From Previous Patients
I had my Mommy Makeover with (Dr. Schaffer) in June 2023. His staff was very friendly and I felt like they knew me as a friend instead of a patient. Dr. Schaffer has been very informative and answered all my questions. I’m very pleased with my results. I recommend him if you’re looking for plastic surgery.
