Rediscover Your Confidence With a Mommy Makeover

Becoming a mother is a transformative experience that takes both an emotional and physical toll. While it's often called the most rewarding job in the world, motherhood can leave women feeling as if they have lost their sense of self.

If you have been trying to get back to your pre-pregnancy body through diet and exercise without lasting results, it may be time to consider a Mommy Makeover. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that provides comprehensive results, helping to address sagging breasts, muffin tops and stretch marks. By giving you back your body, this procedure helps you move forward as a confident, self-assured mother who can balance the demands of this demanding yet fulfilling role.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a tailored combination of cosmetic procedures that help you get back to your pre-baby body by minimizing the physical effects of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.

Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover

Typically, the Mommy Makeover includes a breast augmentation or breast lift, along with a tummy tuck and liposuction, to lift sagging breasts and remove excess fat and loose skin from the abdomen. However, each patient receives a unique plan aligned with their individual anatomy and goals. Additional procedures can be added, such as Broadband Light Therapy, HALO™ Laser Skin Resurfacing and diVa® vaginal therapy.

A Tailored Approach to the Mommy Makeover

No two mothers are alike, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the Mommy Makeover. Dr. Schaffer works closely with each patient to develop a tailored surgical plan that addresses their specific anatomic variation and helps them achieve natural-looking, confidence-boosting results.

Mommy Makeover Recovery Timeline

The Mommy Makeover is a combination procedure that helps patients maximize their outcome while minimizing downtime. The specific procedures chosen for your surgery will determine your recovery timeline, but most patients find they need to avoid heavy physical activity for a few weeks afterward.

Dr. Schaffer will provide you with specific aftercare instructions for each surgical site.

Tips for Moms Recovering at Home

Busy mothers may find it hard to commit to a surgical procedure, but with the right support, recovering at home is entirely possible. During your recovery, you should:

  • Plan to rest for at least a week after the procedure. Enlist a partner or caregiver to help during this time.
  • Avoid heavy lifting, including picking up your children or lifting them into bed.
  • Meal prep ahead of your surgery to minimize tasks during your recovery.

What to Expect From Your Results

Depending on your anatomy and the plan Dr. Schaffer creates for you, your Mommy Makeover results can range from subtle improvements to dramatic changes. Most women who have a Mommy Makeover generally notice improvements such as:

  • Lost breast volume restored
  • Tightened skin on the breasts and abdomen
  • Weakened abdominal muscles repaired
  • Stubborn pockets of fat reduced

Is a Mommy Makeover Right for You?

The Mommy Makeover may be right for you if you're struggling to regain perkier breasts, a flatter stomach or tighter skin after having children. When diet and exercise alone aren't resulting in the look you want, this combination procedure can deliver stunning results - letting you take on motherhood with unmatched confidence and pride.
