Since every woman’s needs are unique, each patient’s Mommy Makeover includes a combination of procedures customized to address her individual body. Our surgeons will advise you on which procedures will provide the best results for you.

Dedicated to Excellence in Surgical Care

Why should I consider a Mommy Makeover surgery?

A Mommy Makeover is usually completed in one surgery, under general anesthesia. We use modern surgical techniques so that you get great results with as little pain and recovery time as possible. Your plastic surgeon will perform the specific combination of surgical procedures outlined in your personalized treatment plan. Breast procedures, such as augmentation with breast implants or a breast lift, address changes in breast volume and sagging.

A tummy tuck tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin, while liposuction sculpts areas with persistent fat. The entire procedure typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity. Afterward, you’ll recover in a monitored environment before heading home to begin the healing process.

Empowering Transformations Designed Just for You

What conditions does a Mommy Makeover address?
Mommy makeover surgery is designed to treat a range of post-pregnancy concerns, including:
  • Sagging Breasts: Restores shape and volume through breast enhancement procedures.
  • Excess Skin: Removes loose skin in the abdomen and other areas.
  • Weakened Abdominal Muscles: Tightens and strengthens muscles affected by pregnancy.
  • Excess Fat: Targets stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Stretch Marks: May be reduced during the removal of excess skin.

Not Just for Moms

Who can get a Mommy Makeover?

Mommy makeovers aren’t just for moms! Women who have never had children choose to get Mommy Makeover surgery because they have lost significant weight or because aging has taken a toll on their abdomens and breasts. Mom or not:

  • You will want to be in good overall health before heading into the operating room
  • You should be at a stable weight and avoid habits such as smoking
  • Women who have had children should not be planning to get pregnant in the future. Having additional children after the procedure can undo surgery results.

It is important to remember that a Mommy Makeover isn’t a substitute for weight loss. After you get a Mommy Makeover tummy tuck, liposuction and/or breast augmentation, leading a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and watching what you eat is the best way to maintain the results of your surgery.

“Although I was well into my thirties, I had no desire to “retire” my bikini, and sport the one-pieces I had so often seen my mother wear to conceal her “badges of motherhood.” In my head, I’m still in my twenties! I was fortunate enough to lose all but 10-15 pounds within the first year after my second child was born, but I couldn’t lose those last stubborn pounds, my stomach didn’t come close to flattening out one bit, I lost most of the elasticity in my breast tissue, and had rather pronounced asymmetry. I decided that cosmetic surgery was the only way I was going to get the results I wanted. This kind of surgery is rather involved and Dr. Cohen’s bedside manner immediately put me at ease. I really wanted to be natural-looking, and I am so thrilled with my results. Not only would I do it again in a heartbeat, but I would also highly recommend Dr. Cohen and Belcara Health to any and all of my friends considering cosmetic surgery. The staff was courteous, friendly, and supportive, and my overall experience was phenomenal. So, I offer a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for allowing me to look like I feel!”
