The “Mommy Makeover” name reveals who often chooses this procedure and why, but it can also address physical changes caused by other lifestyle factors. Mommy Makeover surgery may best be described as a personalized makeover for the whole body: breasts, belly, and more!

HOW DOES PREGNANCY CHANGE YOUR BODY CONTOURS?

Pregnancy can have a major impact on your body shape. After you’ve had a baby, your body attempts to get back to what it was before. However, there are physical changes that alter body contours in a way that can be challenging to address.

Your abdomen goes through the most changes out of any area on the body. As the skin and muscles stretch to accommodate a growing baby, the abdominal skin that is pulled may never be as tight as it once was. It’s common to have some extra flab on the belly area, along with diastasis recti, which occurs when the “six-pack” muscles weaken and separate during pregnancy.

The breasts may also lose volume and sag after pregnancy—and the sagging can be more severe if the baby breastfeeds.

Pregnancy will also cause you to gain weight. Although healthy eating and exercise can help you to lose weight after pregnancy, it may not be possible to reverse all of the changes with exercise on its own.

Some people are lucky enough to have their body “snap back” into shape after just a few months, but for many, it can be difficult to restore pre-baby body contours despite all of the effort they put in. A Mommy Makeover can restore a firmer stomach, improve the size, shape, and position of the breasts, and address other changes that linger after pregnancy.

WHAT IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER?

People will often ask us, “What are the benefits of a Mommy Makeover?” Rather than being a single procedure, a Mommy Makeover is a collection of plastic surgery procedures that are designed to restore your body to your ideal look. One reason why Mommy Makeover surgery has become so popular in recent times is because it enables surgeons to address multiple “problem areas” of the body in a single procedure. Patients will be able to save time because they can enhance areas like the breasts and abdomen without having to schedule separate appointments.

There’s no “one size fits all” or standard Mommy Makeover procedure. Each Mommy Makeover is customized to fit the patient’s individual needs, lifestyle, anatomy, and goals.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR A MOMMY MAKEOVER?

Who is a candidate for a Mommy Makeover? Here’s a basic guide to what you’ll need to know about Mommy Makeovers in 2022, 2023, and beyond.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss what’s involved and help you decide whether a Mommy Makeover is the right choice for you—or if another surgical or non-surgical procedure would be more effective when it comes to the results you are seeking. It’s best to wait for at least six months after giving birth to have this procedure.

Can you get a Mommy Makeover without being a mom? Motherhood isn’t a prerequisite for a Mommy Makeover. Regardless of your parental status, you may be a good candidate for Mommy Makeover surgery. If you are experiencing unwanted changes to your body—such as sagging skin on the stomach or loss of breast volume due to aging, genetics, weight fluctuations, lifestyle, or other factors—then this cosmetic surgery could be ideal for you.

Remember that you should have a Mommy Makeover strictly for yourself rather than to fulfill someone else’s desires or to fit into some idea of perfection. Good candidates for this procedure will be in a good state of overall physical and mental health, have reached or be close to their ideal body weight, maintain a positive outlook and realistic expectations, and be finished having children. Although you can still have the Mommy Makeover if you plan on having more children, know that new pregnancies in the future can “undo” the results of the procedure, since a growing baby and breasts will stretch the skin anew.

WHY CHOOSE COSMETIC SURGERY INSTITUTE FOR A MOMMY MAKEOVER IN PALM DESERT?

Dr. Mo Zakhireh use a revolutionary procedure that can include a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation or other breast enhancement techniques to minimize the lingering effects of pregnancy. Although these are the most commonly chosen procedures for a Mommy Makeover, he may also suggest other surgeries or treatments depending on your personal goals.

A Mommy Makeover can be performed as early as three months after breastfeeding has stopped, and the results can be truly life changing. Many of our plastic surgery patients report an improvement in body image and self-confidence after their procedure, as well as experience a new outlook on life.

Dr. Mo views every Mommy Makeover as an opportunity for positive transformation. We take pride in creating results that surpass your expectations and leave you feeling beautiful and self-confident.

HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MOMMY MAKEOVER?

Before Mommy Makeover surgery, you will be expected to be in good health and to have maintained a stable weight for several months. You may need to get lab testing or a medical evaluation to ensure that you’re healthy enough for surgery, which is especially important for a Mommy Makeover, since multiple surgeries are involved.

Patients will be asked to refrain from or adjust taking certain medications, such as blood thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. They will also be asked to quit smoking several weeks before having a Mommy Makeover, as the habit can delay healing and increase the chance of complications.

Prepare your home so that you have a peaceful area to recover, have prescriptions filled, and arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgery.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A MOMMY MAKEOVER WITH PALM DESERT’S DR. MO ZAKHIREH?

Due to the high level of intricacy involved in combination procedures, general anesthesia is used most often. Dr. Mo will then perform the procedures you have chosen in an efficient order to reduce downtime and Mommy Makeover price. Typically, the entire session can take several hours, with the specific duration depending on which elements are included.

WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF A MOMMY MAKEOVER?

What does a Mommy Makeover include? Some of the most popular procedures are a breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction.

BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation involves the use of implants or fat transfer to increase fullness and projection of the breasts.

BREAST LIFT

A breast lift elevates the breasts to a higher position on the chest, corrects sagging, and gives the breasts a perkier appearance.

TUMMY TUCK

Tummy tuck surgery is done to remove or tighten sagging skin on the abdomen and repair weakened muscles.

LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction is a form of surgery to reduce stubborn, subcutaneous fat from below the surface of the skin.

ADDITIONAL MOMMY MAKEOVER SURGERY CHOICES

Along with the traditional procedures for a Mommy Makeover—such as tucks and augmentation—patients can choose to add certain types of facial plastic surgery or minimally invasive treatments if they feel it can be beneficial. Some of our Mommy Makeovers also include procedures—such as a facelift—to address changes that happened elsewhere on the body, or injectable treatments—such as BOTOX® Cosmetic—to refresh a tired appearance. Your specific Mommy Makeover will be customized to meet your needs. This will determine the length of the surgery, expected recovery time, Mommy Makeover price, and other details.

See what can be done to customize a Mommy Makeover at the Los Angeles area’s Cosmetic Surgery Institute.

A Mommy Makeover at the greater Los Angeles area’s Cosmetic Surgery Institute can be customized to meet your specific needs. 1) Breast augmentation can add volume, alter the shape, and improve symmetry of the breasts, while a lift raises sagging breasts to a higher position on the chest and a reduction takes away volume as necessary. 2) A tummy tuck can remove excess fat, repair a damaged abdominal wall, and tighten lax skin for a flatter belly. 3) Liposuction is target fat removal to slim down the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, and more.

CAN A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT BE A PART OF A MOMMY MAKEOVER AT PALM DESERT’S COSMETIC SURGERY INSTITUTE?

Yes, the Brazilian butt lift is an increasingly popular way to improve the appearance of the buttocks by adding fullness. It combines liposuction and fat transfer techniques to enhance the shape.

Although a Mommy Makeover usually involves procedures to enhance the abdominal and breast areas, patients may notice a flatter looking buttocks after pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the center of gravity and posture often change in subtle ways while the pelvic floor and gluteal muscles weaken, so your butt sometimes develops a flatter, more “tucked in” shape as a result. Moreover, many mothers find that pregnancy and childbirth cause fat to shift on their body, with contours not returning to normal after the baby is born and breastfeeding is over.

A Mommy Makeover is an excellent option for someone who has localized areas of excess fat—typically in the thighs, waist, or abdominal area—that won’t budge even after working out or dieting. It allows you to move fat away from areas where you don’t want it and use the same fat to give the butt a rounder, more shapely appearance.

WILL MY SURGERIES BE PERFORMED SIMULTANEOUSLY?

Although most procedures that make up a Mommy Makeover are performed at the same time, they don’t have to be. Our patients typically choose to have their surgeries simultaneously to avoid a second procedure. Combining the various elements into one can lower the Mommy Makeover price and prevent the need for additional recovery time. You can schedule Mommy Makeover procedures to fit your lifestyle.

WHAT ARE THE RECOVERY AND RESULTS LIKE FROM A MOMMY MAKEOVER?

Because of the additional downtime needed for combination surgeries, it is best to allow yourself two full weeks for recovery. It’s normal to have some degree of swelling, bruising, and soreness during this time. After a Mommy Makeover, your incisions will be wrapped in gauze or bandages. If you’ve had breast surgery, you may be asked to use an elastic bandage or support bra. For a tummy tuck, we recommend wearing a compression garment to optimize your results and ensure a smoother recovery.

Dr. Mo will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure that you heal properly, including advice on how to care for surgical sites and which medications to take orally or apply to reduce the chance of infections. Your Mommy Makeover results will start to develop over the next several weeks, with full results appearing in about three months.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER OPTIONS FOR ENHANCING YOUR SKIN AND BODY?

Want to give you skin a more radiant, glowing appearance? There are many skin rejuvenation options available for Mommy Makeover patients, such as chemical peels, dermaplaning, and microneedling. At-home skin care products will also improve the quality of your skin. Chemical peels and dermaplaning remove dead or damaged skin from the outer layer to speed up skin cell renewal while promoting collagen growth. Microneedling is also effective for reducing stretch marks. Since pregnancy can cause small blood vessels under the skin to look more prominent, patients can also consider laser vein treatments as an option for getting a clearer, more even tone.
