Having children can be one of life’s greatest blessings. Unfortunately, the body undergoes changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding that are often difficult to reverse. Due to substantial stretching of the skin, abdominal muscles, and ligaments, the breasts and body are typically unable to contract to their original shape/contours after childbirth even with the most rigorous post-pregnancy exercise regimens.

OkWhat Are My Mommy Makeover Options?
A mommy makeover refers to multiple breast/body procedures performed in a coordinated fashion to restore your pre-pregnancy figure or to simply reverse the anatomical changes resulting from pregnancy. This treatment plan is completely personalized to your unique needs and goals, and procedural options may include:
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Abdominoplasty can repair musculature stretched out or weakened by the childbearing process, which often results in a belly “pooch” or an appearance of overhanging tissue. By tightening the underlying muscles and removing loose, excess skin, a tummy tuck can restore a slimmer, firmer, and smoother abdominal contour.
Breast Augmentation
A loss of volume, shape, and elasticity usually predominates the breasts after having children, leading to increased breast sag and/or deflated contours. Breast augmentation with implants is a popular way to resolve these concerns and reintroduce a rounder, fuller, and more youthful breast shape. SVIA® offers a comprehensive array of different breast implant options to achieve your desired look.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery is frequently incorporated into a mommy makeover due to the breasts’ tendency to become pendulous, or “droop,” after pregnancy and breastfeeding. With mastopexy, the breasts are lifted and reshaped to minimize sag and restore younger-looking contours. Depending on your goals, the ultimate breast rejuvenation is often achieved by placing implants at the same time as breast lift surgery.
Liposuction
The accumulation of excess fat is also a common effect of pregnancy that can be notoriously difficult to eliminate with dieting and exercise alone. Liposuction is a minimally invasive option designed to gently suction out localized fat and smooth bulges such as “love handles,” “bra rolls,” “muffin tops,” and more. This fat removal technique can be performed under the chin or on virtually any region of the body.
How is a Mommy Makeover Performed?
A mommy makeover is usually an outpatient procedure. Each procedure takes approximately 1.5 to 3 hours to complete, so multiple treatments can often be performed in the same surgery. General anesthesia will be administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, requiring you to enlist a friend or loved one to drive you to and from the surgical facility. We also recommend having a nurse or aftercare provider available if your mommy makeover in Sacramento is extensive. Before your procedures, Dr. Tom Liu or Jerome Liu will demonstrate where your incisions will be placed so you can get an idea of potential scarring. All incisions are made as discreetly as possible to help ensure natural-looking results.

Mommy Makeover FAQ
How long should I wait after breastfeeding before scheduling a mommy makeover?

What factors influence the cost of a mommy makeover?
Do I need to reach my goal weight before getting a mommy makeover?
How is a mommy makeover plan customized for each patient?
How long should I wait after breastfeeding before scheduling a mommy makeover?
Most patients are advised to wait until they have completely finished breastfeeding and their body has had time to stabilize hormonally. This helps ensure more predictable surgical planning and allows breast tissue to return to a baseline state before procedures are considered.
When will I see the final results after a mommy makeover?
Initial improvements are visible once swelling begins to subside, but final results typically take several months to fully develop. Residual swelling can take time to resolve, and the body continues to settle and refine its contours gradually during the healing process.
What factors influence the cost of a mommy makeover?
The total cost depends on the specific combination of procedures performed, the complexity of the surgical plan, anesthesia fees, facility fees, and aftercare needs. Since every treatment plan is customized, pricing varies from patient to patient based on individual goals.
Do I need to reach my goal weight before getting a mommy makeover?
Yes, being at or near a stable, healthy weight is typically recommended before surgery. Significant weight fluctuations after a Mommy Makeover can affect the long-term results and may alter body contours achieved during the procedure.
How is a mommy makeover plan customized for each patient?
Each treatment plan is designed based on the patient’s specific post-pregnancy concerns, such as abdominal changes, breast volume or position, and localized fat deposits. During consultation, your surgeon evaluates your anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine which combination of procedures will provide the most balanced, natural-looking outcome.
