What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a set of customized surgical procedures performed in a single session to address the physical effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It commonly targets the breasts and abdomen, where changes like skin laxity, muscle separation, and volume loss are most prominent. By combining procedures, patients can achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation with just one recovery period.

Your Customized Mommy Makeover Plan
Restoring Breast Shape and Volume
Pregnancy and nursing can cause breasts to lose volume, sag, or change shape. A Mommy Makeover can include a Breast Lift to restore a more youthful position and firmness. For lost volume, a Breast Augmentation or a Breast Augmentation with Lift can be performed to enhance size and shape.
Contouring the Abdomen
The abdominal area is often affected by stretched skin and separated muscles (diastasis recti). A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a cornerstone of the Mommy Makeover, designed to remove excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying abdominal wall. This creates a flatter, firmer, and more defined midsection.
Refining Your Body's Contours
Stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise can be effectively treated with Liposuction. This procedure can sculpt the hips, thighs, back, and flanks to create a more balanced silhouette. In some cases, a Brazilian Butt Lift can also be included to enhance curves using your own transferred fat.
Comprehensive Body Rejuvenation
A Mommy Makeover is fully tailored to your unique needs. Beyond the common procedures, your surgical plan can incorporate other treatments to achieve your goals. For example, an Arm Lift or Thigh Lift can be included to address loose skin in these areas after significant weight changes.
Consultation and Surgical Preparation
- Your Personal Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Benjamin. During this meeting, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and medical history. He will perform a thorough examination to assess your anatomy and determine the most effective combination of procedures for you.
- Creating Your Treatment Plan
Based on your consultation, a unique surgical plan is designed specifically for you. This plan details which procedures will be performed, such as a Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck, to achieve a balanced and natural-looking outcome. We ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with every aspect of your proposed treatment.
- Preparing for Your Procedure
To ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery, our team will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions. These guidelines may include temporarily stopping certain medications, arranging for help at home during your initial recovery, and quitting smoking. Following these steps is crucial for an optimal result.
The Day of Your Surgery
Anesthesia and Surgical Markings
Your comfort and safety are paramount, so the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Before surgery begins, Dr. Benjamin will make precise markings on your body to serve as a guide for the planned incisions and areas of contouring.
Performing the Combined Procedures
Dr. Benjamin will perform the selected procedures in a carefully planned sequence. Whether it’s a Breast Lift, Tummy Tuck, or Liposuction, each step is executed with meticulous attention to detail to ensure a harmonious and cohesive final result.
Tissue Reshaping and Muscle Repair
During the operation, excess skin is removed, underlying abdominal muscles are tightened, and breast tissue is reshaped or augmented. If Liposuction is part of the plan, unwanted fat is carefully suctioned away to enhance your body’s contours and proportions.
Closing Incisions and Final Dressings
Incisions are closed with precision to minimize scarring, often placed in discreet locations like the bikini line or natural breast creases. Sterile dressings and a compression garment are then applied to support the treated areas and promote proper healing.

Your Mommy Makeover Recovery Timeline
The First Week Post-Surgery
The first few days are focused on rest and managing discomfort with prescribed medication. You will wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your new contours. It is essential to have a friend or family member available to assist you during this time.
Weeks Two Through Four
During this period, swelling and bruising will continue to subside. You may be cleared to resume light activities and office-based work, but you should continue to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. Follow-up appointments will monitor your healing progress.
One Month and Beyond
After about four to six weeks, most patients can gradually return to their normal routines, including exercise, with surgeon approval. Your body will continue to heal and settle. It is important to follow all post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Seeing Your Final Results
While you will notice significant improvements soon after surgery, your final results will become fully apparent over several months. As residual swelling resolves completely, your new body contours will emerge, revealing a rejuvenated and more confident you.
Happy Patients, Real Confidence.

Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions
What procedures can be included in a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is completely customized but often includes a Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, Breast Augmentation, and a Breast Lift. During your consultation, Dr. Benjamin will recommend the ideal combination of procedures to help you achieve your desired outcome.
How long is the recovery period?
Recovery varies depending on the extent of your procedures. Most patients can return to light, non-strenuous activities within two weeks, but should wait at least six weeks before resuming vigorous exercise. Full recovery and the realization of final results can take several months.
When is the right time to get a Mommy Makeover?
The ideal time for a Mommy Makeover is after you have completed your family, as future pregnancies can alter the surgical results. It is also important that you are at a stable weight that you are comfortable maintaining and are in good overall health.
Will I have noticeable scars?
While any surgery results in scars, Dr. Benjamin skillfully places incisions in discreet locations to minimize their visibility. For instance, Tummy Tuck incisions are typically hidden below the bikini line, and breast incisions are placed in natural creases. Scars will fade significantly over time.
How many procedures can be done at once?
The number of procedures that can be safely combined depends on your overall health and the specific surgeries selected. Typically, a combination of two to four procedures can be performed in a single session. This approach provides a comprehensive transformation with the convenience of one recovery period.
