Are you looking for a way to restore your pre-pregnancy body? A mommy makeover involves a number of cosmetic surgeries, such as breast augmentation and abdominoplasty, to help rejuvenate your appearance. Here are the four signs that you’re ready for a mommy makeover.
Childbirth results in many changes to a woman’s body. As the name suggests, a ‘mommy makeover’ combines several cosmetic surgery procedures to restore your body to how it was pre-pregnancy in one dramatic operation.
Some of the procedures that are included in a mommy makeover include:
- Breast lift
- Tummy tuck
- Liposuction
- Breast augmentation
These procedures collectively address the most common effects of birthing and breastfeeding on a woman’s body: weight gain and skin stretching in the abdomen, and loss of firmness, and possible volume loss in the breasts.
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, a mommy makeover is an excellent procedure that allows you to achieve all your goals simultaneously.

4 Signs You Are Ready for a Mommy Makeover
The ‘mommy makeover’ was developed to help new mothers reclaim their pre-pregnancy bodies and the self-confidence that they enjoyed before childbirth. Although the treatment is an excellent option for many women, it isn’t for everyone.
When it comes to achieving your aesthetic goals through cosmetic surgery, you must book a consultation with your plastic surgeon to determine what the best and safest option is for you.
Here are four signs that you might be ready for a mommy makeover:
1. You aren’t planning on getting pregnant again:
The best time for a mommy makeover is when you are no longer planning on getting pregnant again. Although having a baby after a mommy makeover is safe and physically possible, it will alter your results and may require additional revisionary surgery down the line.
2. You can clearly understand and can communicate your goals:
Prior to your mommy makeover consultation, you should be very clear on what your goals and expectations are of this surgery. You must be able to articulate and answer questions about what you miss regarding your pre-baby body, as this will ensure a treatment plan can be customized to your exact needs.
3. You are no longer breast-feeding:
Before you undergo this cosmetic surgery, you must give your body time to recover and stabilize from childbirth and breastfeeding. In addition to this, although you might not be back to your pre-baby weight, you must be somewhat close to it — or at a weight that you can maintain after surgery. If you are too far outside the range of your target weight, you might not get the results you desire.
4. You can dedicate time to recovering:
A mommy makeover will require a few weeks of recovery time. During this period, you will not be able to bend over or perform tasks such as lifting your children, cooking, or other household chores. Ideally, you should schedule your operation for a time when a family member can help you with childcare and chores. This will give you time to focus solely on your health and well-being.
