What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures designed to help women regain their pre-pregnancy body shape and address common concerns that arise after childbirth and breastfeeding. Typically, a mommy makeover focuses on the breasts and abdomen, areas most affected by pregnancy.
The obvious advantages of a mommy makeover are one preparation, one surgical date, and one recovery process. But this procedure does more than save time, it also offers a tailored approach. With its customizable list of procedures, a mommy makeover resolves the aesthetic concerns unique to you and restores confidence in your individual beauty.
What Procedures Are Typically Included in a Mommy Makeover?
There is no single formula for a mommy makeover. Instead, our surgeons assist each patient to select the specific procedures that are right for you. A mommy makeover could include any combination of the following:
Are Mommy Makeovers only for mothers?
Absolutely not! Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding aren’t the only reasons for combining surgeries. The natural aging process and significant weight changes can also take a toll on the breasts and body and motivate anyone to have multiple procedures performed in one surgery.
Candidates
If you are interested in a makeover with a combination of surgical procedures, the first step is to schedule a consultation. We offer both virtual and in-person options for a consultation. During the consultation, we will discuss your eligibility for a mommy makeover. It is important to note that these procedures deal with body contouring, not weight loss. You’ll need to be at a healthy, stable weight before your procedure. Additionally, ideal candidates for a mommy makeover include those who have completed their families as future pregnancies can affect the results. Also, we recommend that you be able to take a couple of weeks off to focus on recovery. This includes avoiding any heavy lifting or strenuous activities.
Because combining procedures will increase the cost of surgery, Amaira Med Spa & Surgical has convenient and accessible options to help finance your cosmetic surgery costs.

What to Expect – The Process
We will begin with a patient intake questionnaire that includes your medical history. We’ll then want to learn about your desired physical results and your cosmetic concerns. Our Patient Coordinator will assess your skin’s elasticity and your journey. After determining what will be included in your procedure, we’ll construct a personalized treatment plan for you, including patient-specific preparatory guidelines and unique recovery care steps on the date of your procedure. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (800) 835-5543.
Preparation
Patients will be briefed on the preparatory steps they need to complete before surgery. Each patient will have their own unique set of instructions but following a few general guidelines will ensure a smooth procedure with excellent results.
1.
Adjust medications as instructed, including NSAIDs and other blood-thinning prescriptions and supplements.
2.
Designate a responsible adult to drive you home once the surgery is complete.
3.
Fill the prescriptions that the Doctor has ordered in advance of your procedure.
4.
Arrange to take 1-2 weeks off from work.
Patients can expect to have a pre-operative appointment with our surgeon 2 weeks or less prior to your surgery date. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any last-minute questions and review the details of your procedure. Patients will have their mommy makeover treatment done at our state-of-the-art surgical facilities.
Recovery
As the effects of the anesthesia wear off over the next few days, you’ll experience moderate discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the treated areas. Taking the prescribed medication and following your post-op instructions will ensure that your recovery goes smoothly and that you heal according to schedule. In general, the recovery period for a mommy makeover ranges from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the procedures completed.
You’ll return to Amaira Med Spa & Surgical for regular follow-up appointments so that we can monitor your progress.
