What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic procedure designed to address the physical changes that occur in a woman's body after pregnancy and childbirth. This personalized treatment plan typically combines various surgical and non-surgical procedures such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and more to rejuvenate and enhance the body's appearance.
By targeting areas affected by pregnancy, moms can regain confidence and achieve a more youthful, rejuvenated look. The Mommy Makeover is tailored to individual needs, offering a holistic approach to restoring a woman's pre-pregnancy physique and self-esteem.
Breast Rejuvenation
Breast rejuvenation typically involves a breast lift, a breast implant placement, or both. As a result of changes to a woman’s body during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, the breasts tend to droop and lose volume. An implant, a lift, or a mastopexy can restore this volume as well as the shape of your breasts before childbirth.
Abdominoplasty
Tummy rejuvenation typically involves a tummy tuck. During pregnancy, the stretching of the lower abdomen affects not only the skin (often resulting in stretch marks) but the muscle layers. No matter how many sit-ups you may do after childbirth, you’re fighting a losing battle with muscles that lack the ability to recoil back into pre-baby shape. The surgery of a tummy tuck includes tightening the inner layers of the abdomen as well as removing the loose skin of the lower abdomen.
Liposuction
Liposuction If you want to lose weight in stubborn areas of your body, liposuction might be your solution. Liposuction is a proven, effective cosmetic procedure for permanently removing stubborn fat. The most common areas where liposuction is performed are the neck (“double chin”), upper arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs. While you may not think that Liposuction was part of a Mommy Makeover it is, and we can walk you through the best solution for you.
The combination of these various procedures is quite powerful in restoring your shape and confidence.

What To Consider When Choosing The Mommy Makeover
These procedures are recommended for patients who are not planning on having any more children. Pregnancy after the Mommy Makeover will not hurt the child, but it would potentially hinder long-term benefits and results.
Full recovery can take up to four weeks. The first week after surgery, mothers with young children should plan to have help around the house on a regular basis, because tasks such as lifting and driving will be severely restricted. As healing continues over the next few weeks, more and more activity is encouraged, but it can take up to a month to return to a normal routine. So as you plan ahead for special events (summer vacation, a family wedding, a class reunion), we encourage you to factor in the proper amount of recovery time.
Embracing Change
What are the benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
The comprehensive approach of combining procedures such as breast enhancement, tummy tuck, and body contouring allows patients to address multiple concerns in a single treatment plan, minimizing downtime and recovery periods. This holistic approach can restore a woman's body to its pre-pregnancy state, addressing issues such as sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, and stubborn fat deposits.
Beyond the physical transformations, the Mommy Makeover can also significantly impact a woman's self-confidence and body image, empowering her to feel more comfortable and positive about her appearance. By customizing the procedures to the individual's needs, the Mommy Makeover offers mothers a personalized path to rejuvenation, helping them feel revitalized and confident in their bodies.

A Personalized Procedure
Your Mommy Makeover Procedure
At Charlotte Plastic Surgery, we’re excited about recent enhancements that improve the Mommy Makeover experience. For primary breast augmentation, we offer VECTRA 3-D imaging of the breast, which allows you to be photographed in three dimensions, and then the image is projected onto a TV monitor so that you can clearly see how an implant would look after surgery.
We also offer our patients Exparel, a long-term local pain medicine that we inject at the time of a tummy tuck. This is a time-tested bupivacaine, similar to the local anesthetic used by dentists. Pain is under control, and you can be up and about more quickly, which is helpful in reducing the length of recovery time. With Exparel, you can also avoid narcotic pain pills and the side effects associated with them.
Yet another enhancement is the addition of scar recovery gel by SkinMedica®. This product contains scientifically proven ingredients that decrease the inflammation or redness of scars while helping them heal faster.
Enhancing Your Confidence
Mommy Makeover Results
Following a Mommy Makeover, initial results can be noticeable as swelling subsides, typically within the first few weeks. However, full results become more apparent as the body heals, with final outcomes becoming visible within a few months.
To maintain the results, it's essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. Our team provides personalized guidance to support long-term results and offers recommendations for sustainable maintenance, ensuring that the benefits of the Mommy Makeover are preserved for years.
Beyond Motherhood
Mommy Makeover Recovery and Aftercare
The recovery period for a Mommy Makeover varies depending on the combination of procedures performed. Post-treatment, patients should expect a period of recovery, during which they are advised to avoid strenuous activities and follow specific post-operative instructions. Proper incision care and scar prevention techniques are provided to minimize scarring, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress.
