how it
works—
Breast procedures
A Mommy Makeover isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s a surgical plan designed around your specific needs. Procedures are often done in a single day for a more efficient recovery.
Most “mommy makeovers” focus on the breasts and abdomen, because those areas typically experience the greatest changes after pregnancy. The choice of procedures depends on your goals, anatomy, and medical conditions.

FAQs ABOUT
Mommy Makeover—
We recommend waiting at least 6 months after giving birth, as well as 3 to 6 months after finishing breastfeeding to allow your body’s shape and weight to stabilize.
Can I have more children after a Mommy Makeover?

01.
Absolutely. Many patients choose to pair a Mommy Makeover with non-surgical treatments like injectables or skin resurfacing.
Can I combine this with facial or non-surgical treatments?
You’ll feel sore, especially in the first few days, but pain is manageable with prescribed medications and support garments.
How painful is the recovery?
Each procedure has discreet incisions (e.g. along the bikini line or breast crease). Scars fade over time and are carefully placed to be easily covered by clothing or swimwear.
Will there be visible scars?
Yes, but additional pregnancies will affect your results in an unpredictable manner. If you're planning for more children, we may recommend delaying certain procedures.
