What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover? Everything You Need to Know Befor – Rejûvaskin

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding change your body in ways that diet and exercise alone can’t always fix. A Mommy Makeover is designed to help restore your body—and your confidence—by combining several cosmetic procedures into one transformative surgery. If you’re curious about what’s involved, who it’s for, and how to recover smoothly, this guide breaks it all down.

Plus, we’ll share how Rejuvaskin’s scar and skin recovery products can play a vital role in helping your body heal beautifully.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a personalized surgical plan designed to target the areas most affected by pregnancy. Most procedures focus on the breasts, abdomen, and stubborn fat deposits. While every patient is different, most mommy makeovers include:

Breast augmentation, lift, or reduction to restore or reshape the breasts
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to tighten weakened abdominal muscles and remove excess skin
Liposuction to smooth out stubborn fat in areas like the hips, thighs, or back

Some women also choose to include procedures like labiaplasty or buttock enhancement for additional contouring.

Combining these procedures is considered safe and effective when done by an experienced surgeon. Research supports that breast surgery and tummy tucks can be performed together without significantly increasing risks when managed carefully (BerjaoBerjaouu et al., 2024).

Who Should Consider a Mommy Makeover?

If pregnancy has left you with loose skin, sagging breasts, or stubborn fat, a mommy makeover could be a good option. Ideal candidates are:

Finished having children
Close to their target weight
In good overall health
Ready to commit to recovery time

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery time can vary, but most patients take about two to three weeks off from work and avoid strenuous activity for several weeks after surgery.

Here’s what you can expect during recovery:

Swelling, bruising, and soreness
Wearing compression garments to minimize swelling and support healing
A focus on scar care and skin recovery to achieve the best cosmetic results

Some surgeons also use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) to improve healing, reduce fluid buildup, and lower the risk of scarring (Tettamanzi et al., 2025).
