Mommy Makeover Before & After Photos

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

What is a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover rejuvenates the breasts and abdomen with a single surgery. Typical mommy makeover patients want to fix sagging, bulging, and rolls around the belly, as well drooping and deflated breasts. Many women appreciate having procedures combined because they gain a more complete body transformation than with staged surgeries, and they have only one recuperation period. In addition, combining procedures saves them money on facility and anesthesia fees.

Mommy Makeover Patient Testimonial

When is the right time to have a mommy makeover?

You should wait until you’re finished having children and no longer breastfeeding, which is usually at least 6 months to a year after the birth of your last child. Many mommy makeover patients have older children and are finally ready to do something special for themselves.

Are all mommy makeovers the same?

While each mommy makeover Dr. Ching performs is completely personalized, most include 2 or more of the following breast enhancement and body contouring procedures:

  • Tummy tuck: Many women are left with excess skin and abdominal muscle laxity after pregnancy, and no amount of exercise can reduce it. Dr. Ching can address concerns with a tummy tuck, which can also sometimes remove stretch marks and C-section scars.
  • Liposuction: Stubborn pockets of fat that are left behind after pregnancy can be eliminated with liposuction for the abdomen, hips, thighs, and flanks.
  • Breast lift: Dr. Ching can reshape and reposition sagging breasts to give them a perkier, more youthful look.
  • Breast augmentation: Dr. Ching can insert breast implants to restore or add volume and improve breast shape.
  • ThermiVa®: This nonsurgical, no-downtime treatment uses radiofrequency energy to tighten vaginal tissue and renew sensitivity for women who are unhappy with changes to their vaginal area after childbirth.

Some women also discuss the possibility of having surgery (either as part of a Mommy Makeover or separately) to change the shape or size of the vagina’s inner lips (labia minora), a procedure called labiaplasty.

Mommy Makeover FAQs:

What procedures are commonly included in a mommy makeover?

The procedures included in a mommy makeover can vary based on individual goals and needs, but they often involve breast procedures (augmentation, lift, or reduction) and body procedures (tummy tuck, liposuction, or body contouring).

Can I have a mommy makeover if I haven't had children?

Yes, you can have a mommy makeover even if you haven't had children. The term 'mommy makeover' refers to a combination of procedures often sought by women who have experienced pregnancy-related changes, but the procedures themselves are not exclusive to mothers.

How long after childbirth should I wait before getting a mommy makeover?

It's generally recommended to wait until you've fully recovered from childbirth, lost any excess pregnancy weight, and finished breastfeeding before considering a mommy makeover. This usually takes several months to a year.

Will there be visible scars after a mommy makeover?

Yes, there will be scars associated with the procedures in a mommy makeover. However, skilled surgeons work to minimize the appearance of scars and place incisions in inconspicuous locations whenever possible.
