What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a fully customized combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to restore your body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Because every woman’s experience and goals are unique, at Sanctuary Plastic Surgery, each mommy makeover is tailored to address your specific concerns—whether that’s the breasts, abdomen, or overall body contour.
While every treatment plan is different, a mommy makeover may include a combination of the following procedures:
Breast Lift
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to volume loss, sagging, or changes in breast shape. A breast lift restores a more youthful position and contour, while breast augmentation can enhance volume and fullness. In many cases, these procedures are combined for optimal results.
Breast Augmentation
For patients experiencing loss of volume, breast augmentation can restore fullness and enhance breast size. This procedure uses implants to create a more balanced, proportionate figure and is often combined with a lift for optimal results.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck addresses loose skin, stretched abdominal muscles, and stubborn fat that often remain after pregnancy. This procedure creates a flatter, firmer midsection while also improving the appearance of stretch marks along the lower abdomen.
Liposuction
Liposuction is commonly included to remove stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back. It enhances overall contour and helps create a more sculpted, balanced silhouette when combined with other procedures.
Body Sculpting
The hormonal changes of pregnancy can cause your body to store excess fat on the upper thighs, buttocks, back, upper arms, or another area, causing you to develop stubborn areas that won't respond to healthy eating or regular workouts. Our custom body sculpting treatments can trim and tone, removing excess fat
C-Section Scar Revision
For patients with a visible or uneven cesarean scar, scar revision can smooth and refine the area, often performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck for a more seamless result.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift addresses loose, sagging skin in the inner or outer thighs, helping to create smoother, more toned leg contours—especially beneficial after weight fluctuations related to pregnancy.
Renuvion® Skin Tightening
Renuvion is an advanced skin-tightening treatment that uses helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to firm and contract the skin. It can be used alone or alongside liposuction to enhance overall results.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
Childbirth can impact both the appearance and function of the vaginal area. Vaginal rejuvenation procedures can restore comfort, confidence, and function through surgical or non-surgical techniques.
The Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
Because there are so many dramatic benefits, the mommy makeover is a very popular procedure for mothers who aren’t happy with the changes in their body after having children, and who haven’t been able to resolve these concerns with diet and exercise.
Benefits vary from patient to patient depending on which procedures were selected to be included in their mommy makeover. However, general benefits include the following improvements:
- Attractive, lifted, more shapely and youthful breasts
- A tighter, slimmer and firmer abdominal area
- A more youthful, well-proportioned figure
- Overall feminine, physical rejuvenation and enhancement

How Long Is the Recovery After a Mommy Makeover?
The advantage of a mommy makeover is that rather than undergoing a series of surgeries, a breast lift, lift with augmentation, and tummy tuck, are typically performed in the same surgical appointment.
The recovery time will vary, as every person heals at a slightly different rate, but you can expect to need about four to eight weeks for the majority of swelling to dissipate. You should feel well enough to take gentle walks within a day or two but must wait about six weeks before returning to your regular exercise routine. Most women can return to work in five to ten days.
