A mommy makeover typically refers to a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy bodies or address changes after childbirth. These procedures often target the breasts, abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Standard procedures included in a mommy makeover might be breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, and sometimes procedures like a thigh lift or buttock augmentation.
The goal is to address multiple areas of concern in a single surgical session, minimizing downtime and recovery time compared to having separate procedures done at different times. It's important for individuals considering a mommy makeover to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss their goals, expectations, and any potential risks associated with the procedures.

The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis. This means that you will be able to go home on the same day as your surgery. However, some patients opt to stay overnight with a private nurse.
Dr. Nguyen will provide detailed after-care instructions once the surgery is complete. Our office will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure that your incisions are healing properly, and to catch and treat any complications early on.
It's a good idea to plan for some additional help with childcare and housekeeping for a few days after your surgery. Many of our Atlanta Mommy Makeover patients find that having some extra assistance is helpful during their recovery. Keep in mind that the more surgeries you have, the longer your recovery time will likely be. You may need to take a few days to two weeks off work, and you should avoid any strenuous lifting for at least six weeks.
Mommy Makeover outcomes may vary for each patient and can be observed in phases as incisions heal and the breasts and abdomen settle into new positions. Our Atlanta-based Mommy Makeover patients can resume normal activities after three months, but complete results may take up to a year.
While the effects of Mommy Makeover can last for a long time, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to ensure the longevity of the results. Keeping a healthy weight is crucial as additional weight gain can impact the ultimate results. Additionally, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and sun exposure can expedite the natural aging process.
These are just a few commonly asked questions about mommy makeover surgery. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's best to discuss them with Dr. Nguyen during a consultation.
The procedures included in a mommy makeover vary based on each patient's unique goals. Common procedures include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction, and sometimes buttock augmentation.
Like any surgical procedure, mommy makeovers will leave scars. However, a Dr. Nguyen will make every effort to minimize scarring and place incisions in discreet locations whenever possible.
Good candidates for mommy makeovers are typically women who have finished having children and are in good overall health but are unhappy with the changes in their body due to pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The cost of a mommy makeover can vary widely depending on the procedures performed. The cost includes:
In most cases, cosmetic procedures like mommy makeovers are considered elective and are not covered by insurance. However, if a procedure is deemed medically necessary, such as a breast reduction to alleviate back pain, insurance may provide coverage. It's best to check with your insurance provider for specific details. If your insurance does not cover the procedure, we do have financing options available.
