Before and After Photos
Breast Augmentation or Lift:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to changes in breast volume and shape. Breast augmentation may involve the use of implants or fat to restore lost volume, while a breast lift helps address sagging and repositions the breasts for a more youthful contour.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty):
- Pregnancy often stretches the abdominal muscles and skin, leading to loose skin and a protruding belly. A tummy tuck involves the removal of excess skin and tightening of the abdominal muscles to create a firmer and more toned appearance.
Liposuction:
- Liposuction is often included in a mommy makeover to remove stubborn pockets of fat that may have accumulated in various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
A mommy makeover is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Each makeover is tailored to every woman’s unique anatomy and concerns.

Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover?

Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?

Some improvement in the appearance of stretch marks may occur, depending on their location and severity but it is generally not possible to remove all stretch marks.

Will I have visible scars after a mommy makeover?
