Woman holding stomach showing stretch marks after having children Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding bring many changes to the body, some of which do not go away with diet and exercise alone. A mommy makeover helps restore your shape with procedures like a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover usually involves multiple procedures that address post-pregnancy changes. It can include:

Your personal mommy makeover plan will be customized based on what you want to accomplish.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The best candidates for a mommy makeover are women who:

  • Are finished having children: Future pregnancies can reverse the results.
  • Have reached a stable weight: Significant weight fluctuations may affect long-term outcomes.
  • Experience excess skin or sagging: Loose skin, stretched muscles, and breast volume loss are common reasons for surgery.
  • Are in good health: A mommy makeover requires anesthesia and a recovery period, so it’s important that you’re healthy. 
  • Have realistic expectations: Surgery can improve your body’s contours, but it will not create a “perfect” figure.

Many women in Boca Raton choose this procedure to feel more comfortable in their bodies after pregnancy. 

Who Is Not a Good Candidate?

While a mommy makeover can be a great option for many women, it is not the right choice for everyone. Certain health conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or bleeding disorders, may make surgery too risky. Additionally, smokers or those unwilling to quit before and after surgery face a higher risk of complications and poor healing.

It is also important to remember that a mommy makeover is not a weight loss procedure. You should be close to your goal weight before considering surgery, as any other major weight changes can affect the results.
