What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a tailored combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the physical changes women often experience after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It typically includes a mix of breast enhancement, body contouring, and fat reduction treatments that work together to restore a more youthful, balanced figure.

Each mommy makeover procedure is uniquely designed to reflect your personal goals and body type. Common treatments include:

Breast augmentation or breast lift to restore volume and position
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin
Liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat from the hips, thighs, abdomen, or flanks
Additional body contouring procedures as needed

All surgeries are performed in our on-site, fully accredited surgical suite, offering privacy, comfort, and continuity of care.
