In this blog, you’ll learn what procedures are often included in a mommy makeover and how they work together to address post-pregnancy body concerns.
Breast Surgeries
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can significantly change the shape and position of the breasts. Many women experience volume loss, drooping, or asymmetry.
Breast surgeries performed as part of a mommy makeover include:
- Breast augmentation: Restores lost volume with implants or fat transfer
- Breast lift: Raises and reshapes sagging breasts
- Breast reduction: Removes excess breast tissue to improve comfort and proportion
Some patients choose a combination of augmentation and lift to address both fullness and positioning.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is one of the most common procedures in a mommy makeover.
Pregnancy can stretch abdominal muscles and skin, leaving:
- Sagging skin
- A protruding abdomen
- Separation of abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
A tummy tuck creates a firmer, flatter midsection by removing excess skin and tightening abdominal muscles.
Liposuction
Some areas of fat may remain after pregnancy, even with a healthy lifestyle. That’s why liposuction is often included in a mommy makeover to refine body contours.
Liposuction may target areas such as:
- The abdomen
- Hips and flanks (“love handles”)
- Thighs
- Lower back
The procedure removes localized fat deposits and helps improve overall body balance.
Additional Procedures
While breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction are the core components of most mommy makeovers, additional treatments may sometimes be recommended depending on individual goals.
These may include:
- Brazilian butt lift (BBL) for a more pronounced contour
- Body lift procedures for excess skin
- Skin tightening treatments
