Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences that bring immense joy—but they can also significantly impact a woman’s body. Many mothers find that despite a healthy lifestyle, certain physical changes—such as loose abdominal skin, deflated breasts, or stubborn fat deposits—can be difficult to reverse on their own. That’s where a Mommy Makeover can help.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the physical changes women often experience after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. This treatment plan is tailored to each woman’s unique concerns, goals, and anatomy, with the goal of restoring a more youthful, confident appearance.

Common Procedures Included

Although each Mommy Makeover is personalized, it often includes a combination of the following:
 

• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the underlying muscles that may have stretched or separated during pregnancy.
   

• Breast Surgery: Options include breast augmentation, breast lift, or a combination of both to restore volume and shape.
   

• Liposuction: Targets areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms to eliminate stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

Is a Mommy Makeover Right for You?

Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover are women who:
 

• Are in good overall health
   

• Have finished childbearing
   

• Are close to their goal weight
   

• Have realistic expectations and specific areas they’d like to improve

Dr. Matarasso conducts a thorough consultation to discuss your concerns and goals, review your medical history, and design a surgical plan that prioritizes both safety and results.

Recovery and Results

Because a Mommy Makeover typically combines multiple procedures, recovery time may be longer than a single surgery. However, combining surgeries means only one recovery period, and many women appreciate the efficiency of addressing multiple concerns at once.

Most patients can return to light activity within 1–2 weeks, with more strenuous activity resumed around 6 weeks post-op. Dr. Matarasso provides detailed post-operative care instructions and monitors your progress closely to ensure optimal healing.

The results of a Mommy Makeover are long-lasting and often life-changing. Patients frequently report not only physical improvements but also renewed confidence and a deeper sense of well-being.
