Mommy Makeover Procedure: What’s Included and Recovery Timeline

Mommy Makeover Procedure: What’s Included and Recovery TimelineA mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore the body after pregnancy and childbirth. Because pregnancy affects multiple areas of the body, a mommy makeover addresses several concerns in a single surgical plan. Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery, led by plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim, provides mommy makeover surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

What Procedures Are Included

A mommy makeover is tailored to each patient, but commonly includes:

  • Breast augmentation, breast lift, or both
    • Tummy tuck to tighten muscles and remove excess skin
    • Liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, or thighs

Additional procedures may be added based on individual goals.

Why Patients Choose a Mommy Makeover

Combining procedures allows patients to address multiple concerns at once and recover from a single surgery rather than multiple separate operations. This approach often reduces overall downtime and delivers comprehensive body contouring results.

What Recovery Looks Like

Recovery varies depending on the procedures included, but most patients take two to three weeks off work. Swelling, bruising, and fatigue are normal early on.

Light activity begins within days, while strenuous exercise is usually restricted for six to eight weeks. Compression garments and follow-up appointments support proper healing.

Long-Term Results

As swelling subsides, results become more defined. A mommy makeover can restore body confidence, improve clothing fit, and create long-lasting improvements when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
