What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures performed during the same surgery to rejuvenate and reshape the areas of your body most affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Your makeover will be completely tailored to you, and may include:

Breast augmentation, lift, or reduction to restore shape, volume, and symmetry
Liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits and refine body contours
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove loose skin and repair weakened abdominal muscles

What to Expect During Surgery

Your mommy makeover will be performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgery center or hospital, ensuring the highest level of safety and comfort. Because each procedure is tailored to your unique needs, no two mommy makeovers are exactly alike. To begin, Dr. Gupta will typically focus on restoring your abdomen by tightening loose skin and repairing separated muscles through a tummy tuck, creating a stronger, flatter core.

Depending on your goals, he may also enhance your breasts with a lift, augmentation, or reduction to restore your natural balance and youthful shape. He also often includes liposuction to refine the hips, thighs, or waist, bringing everything together for a proportionate silhouette.

Recovery and Results

Recovery after your mommy makeover will take time, but every week brings noticeable progress. Most patients need two to three weeks to focus on rest and healing. During this time, you’ll wear supportive garments to reduce swelling and help your body adjust to its new contours. As you recover, you’ll gradually return to light activity. As swelling fades, your results will become more defined with a smoother abdomen, lifted breasts, and balanced curves. With continued care and a healthy lifestyle, your rejuvenated shape can last for many years.

Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have a mommy makeover if I plan on having more children?

It’s best to wait until you’re done having children, as pregnancy can reverse surgical results.

How soon after pregnancy can I have a mommy makeover?

Dr. Gupta recommends waiting at least six months after childbirth and breastfeeding have concluded. This gives your body time to stabilize hormonally and physically, ensuring the best healing and long-term results.

Can a mommy makeover repair abdominal separation (diastasis recti)?

Yes. During your tummy tuck, Dr. Gupta can repair stretched or separated abdominal muscles, restoring core strength and flattening the abdomen.

Will I lose weight from a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover isn’t designed for weight loss—it’s for reshaping and tightening. You’ll notice a more toned, youthful figure, but the change comes from improved contour, not the scale. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle after surgery helps preserve your results.
