Do SomethingFor You
What is a Mommy Makeover?
The mommy makeover is a combination surgery technique to help a woman achieve her appearance goals. These makeovers are specifically designed to help women who have experienced pregnancy and breastfeeding. The breasts and the abdomen go through the most changes when a woman becomes pregnant. Since every human body is different, as well as the needs of the individual, mommy makeover packages may be catered to fit your needs. They may include:
- Breast Lift
- Breast Augmentation
- Breast Reduction
- Tummy Tuck
- Liposuction
Full Body Transformation
What Is the Mommy Makeover Procedure Like?
When possible, Dr. Nazarian prefers to perform her mommy makeovers during one surgery to minimize total downtime and help the results complement each other. The surgical process usually begins with the body contouring components like a tummy tuck or liposuction.
If breast work is involved, implants may be placed next through incisions in the breast crease or around the areola. Techniques will vary based on factors like the implant type and degree of breast sagging. The various incision sites are closed with sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape. Following surgery, you will be assessed and cleared to be taken home. Dr. Nazarian provides her patients with personalized recovery instructions to ensure the best possible outcome for each recovery.
Versatile and Personalized
What Conditions Does a Mommy Makeover Address?
The physical changes of pregnancy can have lasting effects on a woman's body. Mommy makeover surgeries target these specific changes and can treat and often correct many of the long-lasting issues for mothers following pregnancy. For example, the breasts often become deflated and saggy after breastfeeding due to stretched skin. Breast augmentation restores volume while breast lifts restore perkiness and bring the breasts higher on the torso.
Breast reduction, on the other hand, helps women with very large breasts achieve improved comfort and a more sleek, lifted contour. In the abdomen, the growing uterus stretches and may separate the abdominal muscles, creating a protruding belly. A tummy tuck repairs these muscles and trims excess skin for a flatter stomach. Other areas like the flanks and thighs may accumulate stubborn fat deposits that remain after pregnancy's hormone changes. Liposuction can remove these exercise-resistant fat pockets. By performing all these changes together, Dr. Nazarian can sculpt a truly cohesive result that captures each patient’s pre-baby body as closely as possible.
Improving Self-Confidence
What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
Regaining self-confidence after pregnancy can be difficult. A woman’s body goes through an enormous amount of change during pregnancy, physically, emotionally, and hormonally. These changes can take their toll, and restoring your pre-pregnancy body can be challenging. After the birth of their child, many women feel uncomfortable with their breasts, abdomen, and vaginal tightness or sexual satisfaction. We can help you achieve your pre-baby body goals! A mommy makeover may be the answer you have been searching for.
Schedule a Consultation
Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
You should only consider having a mommy makeover if you are not planning on any future pregnancies. Candidates should also be in good overall health, with no significant medical conditions such as heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or bleeding disorders that could complicate surgery or recovery. Dr. Nazarian will discuss your medical history, including any past surgeries, pregnancies, or chronic health issues. This thorough medical assessment ensures the procedure can be performed safely and effectively, leading to the best possible results.
If a patient is looking to have their pre-pregnancy body back, a personalized mommy makeover package may be just what they are looking for. Dr. Nazarian will ensure that this experience is catered directly to you by discussing your goals and expectations beforehand.

Taking Time to Heal
Mommy Makeover Recovery
While each surgery is unique to the individual, you can expect to need about two weeks off work after a mommy makeover. It could take as long as six weeks to be able to resume jobs that require heavy lifting. Dr. Nazarian will provide you with a more accurate timeline during your consultation that takes into consideration your specific situation and procedures. In most cases, you will see your final results between six and 12 months after your procedure, although you’ll be able to resume your full range of work and personal activities long before then.
A Personalized Experience
Mommy Makeover Results
The results of your mommy makeover will largely depend on the exact procedures chosen during your consultation but should last for about a decade. If you choose to get breast implants as part of your mommy makeover, you may need to have those implants replaced in the future as they are not considered “lifetime” devices. Following your surgery, your body will continue to age normally, but as it does, it will age from its revitalized form, meaning you will continue to look far younger than if you had never had the surgery.
While the results from a mommy makeover can be life-changing, you will want to make sure that these results last. A healthy diet and proper exercise routine can help ensure that the results last.
