Mommy Makeover
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures designed to restore and enhance a woman's body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It typically includes multiple procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction. Some patients may also choose to include other procedures such as a Brazilian butt lift, thigh lift, or vaginal rejuvenation, depending on their specific goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
The right candidates are women who have gone through pregnancy and breastfeeding and have worked to achieve a slimmer, tighter figure through a clean diet with little result. In these cases, plastic surgery is needed to achieve a post-baby body that does not leave you feeling self-conscious.
How to Prepare and Recover from a Mommy Makeover
Before undergoing a mommy makeover surgery, we will consult you on how you best prepare your mind and body pre-surgery and recovery period. Since a mommy makeover includes multiple procedures, recovery varies but generally includes several weeks of rest and reduced activity. Our mommy makeover patients do not require hospital stays. Though a mommy makeover procedure can encompass multiple areas of the body, your postoperative pain will most likely be mild to moderate because we use the best practices for surgical technique and pain management. Most women can begin caring for themselves 1-2 days after surgery. Most women can return to their normal routine within 4-10 days. Working out can resume at 3-6 weeks depending on the procedures performed. At Dr. Robert Schwartz Plastic Surgery, we will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Recovery and Aftercare
With the advancements in pain management and surgical techniques, recovery from a tummy tuck surgery is now much easier and smoother than it used to be. Here’s what you can expect during your tummy tuck recovery:
- Most patients can return home on the same day of the surgery.
- Within a couple of days, patients can mostly take care of themselves.
- Around six weeks after your tummy tuck, you can get back to working out and heavy lifting.
- You can see almost 90% of your final results in around two months, and you’ll be ready to get back into your bathing suit.
- Within a week and a half, most patients with office-type jobs can be back to work. You may need a little longer if your job requires manual labor.
- You’ll need about six months, sometimes a bit longer, to see the full results of your abdominoplasty. During that time, residual swelling will resolve, and your scars will fade into a lighter color.
- One of the modern pain management strategies at Robert Schwartz Plastic Surgery is Exparel injections. Exparel is a long-acting non-opioid anesthetic that offers pain relief for 2-3 days after surgery.
In addition to Exparel, we use atraumatic surgical techniques and drain-less wound closure. All of these have made recovery from abdominoplasty dramatically easier.

Most frequently asked questions
How Long Does a Mommy Makeover Surgery Take?
The duration of the surgery varies depending on the number and type of procedures performed. Typically, it can take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours.
What is the Recovery Process Like?
Recovery times vary depending on the surgery. Generally, patients can care for themselves the day after and return to office work in about four days. Exercise typically resumes at three weeks. For tummy tucks, expect to return to work in 7-10 days and exercise at six weeks. Healing progresses with about 75% complete at one month and 90% at two months, reaching full recovery in six months. Detailed post-operative care instructions will be provided.
Are There Risks Associated with a Mommy Makeover?
As with any major surgery, there are risks including infection, bleeding, scarring, anesthesia complications, poor wound healing, changes in sensation, blood clots, and unsatisfactory results. However, as an experienced and board-certified surgeon, we will help minimize these risks.
How Long Will the Results of a Mommy Makeover Last?
The results can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. However, significant weight fluctuations and future pregnancies can affect the results.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on various factors such as the specific procedures and any additional expenses such as facility fees, anesthesia fees, and post-operative care. We offer a range of financing options from United Medical Credit, Cherry, CareCredit, or PatientFi. That means we can usually get patients with most credit scores financed.
Can I Have a Mommy Makeover if I Plan to Have More Children?
It is generally recommended to wait until you have finished having children before having certain Mommy Makeover procedures like tummy tucks. Other surgeries, like breast implants and liposuction, are less impacted by future pregnancies and can be performed unless you are imminently planning to have another child.
How Should I Prepare for a Mommy Makeover?
Preparation includes maintaining a stable weight, quitting smoking at least six weeks before surgery, and avoiding certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding. We will provide specific instructions to help you physically and mentally prepare for the surgery and recovery.
What Should I Expect During the Initial Consultation?
During the initial consultation, we will review your medical history, discuss your goals and expectations, and perform a physical examination. We will explain the procedures, potential risks, and the recovery process. This is also an opportunity to ask questions and ensure you feel comfortable with the proposed plan.
Will I Need to Stay Overnight at the Hospital?
We very rarely need to have patients stay overnight for mommy makeovers.
