A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. While a healthy lifestyle helps, certain changes—stretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and deflated breasts—cannot be reversed without surgery.
Pregnancy affects each woman differently, but common post-pregnancy concerns include deflated or sagging breasts, loss of upper-pole fullness, loose abdominal skin, diastasis recti (muscle separation), stubborn fat in the waist, hips, or abdomen, changes in breast size or shape, stretched areolas, and weak abdominal support.
A Mommy Makeover restores youthful contours, improves core strength, and enhances overall confidence—helping women feel aligned with the person they are today.
You may be a good candidate if:
• You have finished having children
• Your weight is stable
• You are in good overall health
• You wish to improve post-pregnancy changes
• You understand recovery involved in combining procedures
A Mommy Makeover is customized to your anatomy and goals—no two procedures are identical.
During your consultation, we'll evaluate your anatomy and discuss your goals.
• Breast changes after pregnancy or nursing
• Abdominal concerns: loose skin or muscle separation
• Areas of stubborn fat
• Whether procedures should be combined or staged
A physical exam and photographs help guide your personalized approach.
Mommy Makeovers are custom-tailored, but common components include:
Most Mommy Makeovers are performed under general anesthesia as outpatient surgery.
Designed to be discreet, often incorporating prior C-section or breast scars.
Breast procedures are performed first, followed by abdominal contouring and liposuction.
Surgery typically takes 4–8 hours depending on your customized plan, with procedures combined thoughtfully for safety.
Dr. West tailors the surgical plan to your health, anatomy, and goals, ensuring the highest standards of care.
Recovery varies based on the procedures performed but typically includes:
• Soreness and tightness for several days
• Return to light activity in 10–14 days
• Return to desk work in 1–2 weeks
• Light exercise at 4 weeks
• Full activity at 6–8 weeks
• Continued refinement over several months
Compression garments and proper postoperative care help reduce swelling and enhance results.
