Mommy Makeover Procedure
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can cause bothersome changes for many women, including abdominal skin laxity, fat accumulation, and deflated breasts. After giving birth, some women can regain the appearance of their younger or pre-pregnancy bodies. Others who have worked hard to lose weight discover that regular exercise and a proper diet are not enough to reverse these changes. Dr. Hadeed offers a combination of surgical procedures known as the Mommy Makeover that can improve your body and help you regain the youthful figure you once had.
Dr. Hadeed focuses on individualized attention and care, providing education and guidance, and ultimately developing a plan for the most successful and safe outcome.
Schedule A ConsultationWhat Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures in one surgery that is aimed at rejuvenating a woman’s body after childbirth. Plastic surgery procedures typically included in a Mommy Makeover include breast and body procedures—such as breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and buttock lift—to address common post-pregnancy concerns like sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, and stubborn fat deposits.
The goal of a Mommy Makeover is to help mothers reclaim their pre-pregnancy bodies and feel more comfortable in their skin. However, a Mommy Makeover is not just for mothers but can benefit any woman who wants to restore a more youthful appearance and boost her self-confidence.
What Procedures Are Included in a Mommy Makeover?
Dr. Hadeed understands the physical and emotional demands placed on mothers—and all women—and takes the necessary steps to maximize their aesthetic results. Each Mommy Makeover is highly customized based on the needs and aesthetic goals of the patient and can address nearly any part of the body. There’s no specific set of surgeries that make up a Mommy Makeover; it simply includes the procedures each patient chooses to achieve her desired results.
If you’re considering a Mommy Makeover near Beverly Hills, Dr. Hadeed offers personalized consultations to discuss your goals. Some of the most popular procedure options for a Mommy Makeover package include:
Breast Procedures
- Breast augmentation uses saline or silicone implants to restore volume and shape to the breasts as well as improve firmness and fullness.
- Breast lift surgery can correct sagging and drooping breasts by tightening and removing excess skin to lift the breasts into a more perky and youthful position. It can also reposition the nipples and areolas.
- A breast lift with augmentation can improve the projection, shape, and fullness of deflated breasts for a more youthful and attractive appearance.
- Breast reduction removes excess tissue for women with overly large breasts to create more balanced body proportions and reduce chronic back and neck pain.
Body Procedures
- Liposuction can improve a woman’s figure by eliminating excess fat deposits from several areas of the body, including the arms, abdomen, back, hips, thighs, neck, and buttocks. Women can choose one or more areas to target with liposuction, slimming, and contouring their body to achieve a more defined figure.
- Tummy tuck surgery removes fatty tissue and excess skin that have developed along a woman’s stomach to provide her with a firm and toned midsection. A tummy tuck also repairs and tightens the abdominal muscles damaged during pregnancy (known as diastasis recti), resulting in a stronger core and a more defined waist.
- The Brazilian Butt Lift, or buttock augmentation, uses the patient’s own fat to improve the appearance of their buttocks. The fat is removed through liposuction, processed through a centrifuge, and meticulously injected into the buttocks to augment and enhance their shape and size.

What Can I Expect During My Mommy Makeover Recovery?
The recovery time for Mommy Makeover surgery will depend on the number of procedures performed during your surgery. Patients typically experience minor discomfort and bruising after surgery, but these are normal and will resolve within a few weeks. Most women have swelling around the surgical areas that lasts for several weeks, but this will resolve on its own. Drainage tubes may also be placed under the skin to eliminate excess fluid and help lessen swelling. Compression garments will be worn over the treated areas to help minimize swelling and support and smooth your slimmer new contours.
You will need to take it easy for the first week or so after surgery and gradually work up to performing your regular daily activities. Most patients can return to work and normal activities 1–3 weeks after surgery. Avoid all strenuous exercise or activities for at least six weeks or until Dr. Hadeed clears you. You should also take light walks during the first few days of recovery to encourage circulation, promote healing, and prevent blood clots from developing.
Dr. Hadeed will provide detailed instructions on caring for yourself during your Mommy Makeover recovery period. You must follow these instructions to the letter to minimize the risk of complications and maximize your results.
How Soon Will I See the Results of My Mommy Makeover?
You will be able to see some of your Mommy Makeover results immediately after surgery; however, it takes several weeks to a few months for your final results to be visible. If you choose breast augmentation, your breasts will take time to settle into their permanent position on your chest, and swelling will obscure some of your other results. Final liposuction results are typically visible after about three months, while it can take 6–12 months for full tummy tuck results to be visible.
Mommy Makeover FAQ
Who is a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover are women who are non-smokers and in overall good health. Other criteria include women who:
- Are finished having kids
- Are at a stable weight and healthy BMI
- Can take appropriate time off to recover after surgery
- Have areas of their bodies that will benefit from one or more procedures
While a Mommy Makeover is a great way to achieve your aesthetic goals, ideal candidates should also have realistic expectations for their results.
What are the benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
Besides achieving your desired aesthetic results, a Mommy Makeover offers several other benefits. Undergoing multiple procedures simultaneously will reduce your overall recovery time, as you will only need to adjust your schedule once instead of numerous times if you undergo each procedure separately. Additionally, while a Mommy Makeover may initially seem more expensive, it can save you money in the long run because you will only pay once for the hospital or surgical facility, medical staff, and anesthesia fees instead of several times for each procedure.
How soon after giving birth can I have a Mommy Makeover?
If you’re considering a Mommy Makeover, you should wait at least six months after giving birth and after you have stopped breastfeeding. You want to give your body a chance to heal from the stress of pregnancy and childbirth before putting it through surgery. You will also have more time to lose the weight you want before surgery. For breastfeeding moms, you will want to ensure your body has completely stopped producing milk.
Allowing your body time to stabilize after pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding will also enable Dr. Hadeed to conduct a more accurate assessment of your body to ensure the results you desire.
Are there any risks or side effects involved with a Mommy Makeover?
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with a Mommy Makeover. Some risks include the following:
- Anesthesia risks
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Changes in skin sensation
- Fluid buildup
- Poor wound healing
- Capsular contracture (for breast augmentation patients)
If you experience any unusual symptoms during your recovery from your Mommy Makeover, contact Dr. Hadeed immediately.
How do I prepare for my Mommy Makeover?
Preparing for your Mommy Makeover includes following Dr. Hadeed’s preoperative instructions and ensuring you are set up for recovery. You will need to discontinue nicotine use at least two weeks before surgery and for at least two weeks after, as nicotine interferes with anesthesia and the healing process. You will also need to stop taking blood-thinning medications, including over-the-counter and herbal supplements.
How long does Mommy Makeover surgery usually take?
Each Mommy Makeover is different. Depending on the patient’s needs and aesthetic goals, the procedure can be performed in a single surgery or in stages. The timing of the surgery also depends on the procedures chosen as part of the Mommy Makeover. A breast or stomach procedure will have to be performed at a different time than a Brazilian Butt Lift because recovery requires the patient to keep weight off of the treatment area as it heals. Dr. Hadeed customizes each Mommy Makeover treatment plan and works with his patients to build a timeline that offers the best results in a way that works with their lifestyle.
What can I do to maximize my recovery after a Mommy Makeover?
Resting after a Mommy Makeover is essential, and you should make sure you’re fully prepared before you go in for surgery. You must have a responsible adult drive you home after surgery and, ideally, stay with you for the first 24–48 hours. Fill out necessary prescriptions beforehand, and ensure you have everything you need in your recovery space. This includes pillows for propping you up, blankets, medications, water, and things like your phone charger and TV remote. You won’t be able to drive for 1–2 weeks, so you will need to arrange transportation for your children and grocery delivery.
Are Mommy Makeover results permanent?
The results of a Mommy Makeover are considered permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight through a healthy diet and exercise. The natural aging process will continue, and you will most likely experience some of the effects that come with a loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin. However, you will undoubtedly enjoy your newfound confidence in your body for years to come.
Is a Mommy Makeover painful?
You will experience some mild pain or discomfort after your Mommy Makeover procedure, but this will subside over time and can be easily managed with over-the-counter or prescription pain medication.
Does a Mommy Makeover leave scars?
Mommy Makeover surgery will result in some scarring, but most scars are easily hidden with clothing. Your scars will diminish over time, and protecting them from the sun will help them to fade. Once your incisions have fully healed, applying silicone strips and scar gel or lotion can help minimize the visibility of scars. For women who underwent a C-section that resulted in an unsightly scar, a Mommy Makeover can help reduce the size of the scar on your lower abdomen.
