A mommy makeover combines cosmetic procedures to address changes that can remain after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. At Funt Aesthetics, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David K. Funt develops each surgical plan around the areas a patient wants to improve and the changes her body has experienced.
Treatment may address loose abdominal skin, weakened or separated abdominal muscles, stubborn fat, and changes in breast volume, shape, or position. Rather than creating an entirely different figure, the goal is to restore balance, tone, and contours that feel more familiar.
Restoring Changes After Pregnancy
Pregnancy places significant stress on the abdomen as the skin and muscles stretch. In some women, the abdominal muscles separate, creating a bulge that may remain even after weight returns to its previous range.
The breasts may also lose volume, sag, or sit differently after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Skin elasticity, genetics, weight fluctuations, and the number of pregnancies can all influence how much of these changes remain.
Procedures That May Be Part of a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is not one specific operation. It is a customized combination of procedures selected according to the patient’s anatomy and goals.
Common options include:
-
Tummy tuck to remove loose abdominal skin and repair weakened or separated muscles
-
Liposuction to reduce localized areas of stubborn fat
-
Breast lift to raise and reshape sagging breasts
-
Breast augmentation to restore or add breast volume
-
Breast lift with implants when both position and fullness need improvement
Some patients need treatment in only two areas, while others benefit from a broader combination.
Creating a Personalized Surgical Plan
The right combination depends on which changes are most important to the patient. One woman may mainly want to restore her abdomen, while another may be more concerned about breast sagging or lost volume.
Dr. Funt considers overall health, the amount of correction needed, and how the procedures will work together before recommending a plan. The goal is to create balance across the treated areas rather than approaching each concern separately.
When Is the Right Time for a Mommy Makeover?
Timing is important. Women who expect another pregnancy may want to postpone surgery because pregnancy can stretch the abdominal skin and muscles and change the breasts again.
Once the family is complete, the body should also have time to recover from childbirth and breastfeeding. Dr. Funt can evaluate whether weight, breast shape, and abdominal tissues have stabilized enough for surgery.
What to Expect From Recovery and Results
Recovery depends on which procedures are combined. Swelling, bruising, soreness, and tightness are common during the early stages, and supportive garments may be recommended as the body heals.
Results become more noticeable as swelling decreases and the tissues settle. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve the improvement, while future pregnancy or major weight changes may affect the results.
