A Mommy Makeover is a powerful combination of procedures that helps restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body. Commonly including a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, and liposuction, this transformation requires thoughtful planning for the best outcome and smooth recovery. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim performs mommy makeover for patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.
When Is the Right Time?
Ideal timing depends on:
– Being at a stable, healthy weight
– Finishing breastfeeding for at least 6 months
– Being done having children (future pregnancies may reverse results)
– Having help available for 1–2 weeks post-op
Most women schedule their Mommy Makeover at least a year after childbirth.
Setting Realistic Expectations
While results can be dramatic, it’s important to understand:
– This is not a substitute for weight loss
– Scars are inevitable, but fade over time
– Recovery takes time and patience
Discuss your goals with your surgeon to design a personalized plan.
What Procedures Are Included?
Each Mommy Makeover is customized but may include:
– Tummy tuck to remove loose skin and tighten muscles
– Breast lift or augmentation to restore volume and shape
– Liposuction for contouring thighs, hips, or flanks
Some women also opt for labiaplasty or stretch mark treatment.
Preparing for Surgery and Recovery
– Arrange 1–2 weeks off work and childcare
– Fill prescriptions in advance
– Prepare meals and your recovery area
– Avoid heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks
Follow all pre- and post-op instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing.
Final Thoughts
A Mommy Makeover is a deeply rewarding procedure that addresses the physical toll of pregnancy and childbirth. With the right timing and support, it can help you feel like yourself again — or better.
