Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are transformative—but the physical changes don't have to be permanent. A mommy makeover combines the procedures you need to restore your body, all in one surgery with one recovery period.
Schedule Consultation View ResultsA mommy makeover isn't a single procedure—it's a customized combination of surgeries designed to address the specific changes pregnancy and breastfeeding have made to your body. Every woman experiences these changes differently, so every mommy makeover is unique.
Most mommy makeovers focus on the breasts and abdomen—the two areas most dramatically affected by pregnancy—but can also include liposuction, fat transfer, and other procedures depending on your goals. The key advantage is addressing multiple concerns in one surgery with one recovery period, rather than spacing procedures out over months or years.
These changes are completely normal—and for many women, they don't resolve with diet and exercise alone. If these sound familiar, a mommy makeover may help.
Volume loss after breastfeeding leaves breasts looking flat, saggy, or asymmetrical—often with stretched nipples and areolas.
Diastasis recti—the separation of the "six-pack" muscles—creates a persistent bulge that no amount of crunches will fix.
Skin that stretched to accommodate your growing baby often doesn't snap back, leaving loose, sagging tissue on the abdomen.
Those silvery or red lines that appear when skin stretches quickly during pregnancy—especially on the lower abdomen.
Pockets of fat on the hips, flanks, thighs, and back that appeared during pregnancy and won't respond to diet or exercise.
Your overall silhouette has shifted—wider hips, thicker waist, different breast size—and you don't feel like yourself anymore.
Your mommy makeover will be customized based on your specific concerns and goals. Here are the most common components.
Removes loose abdominal skin, repairs separated muscles (diastasis recti), and eliminates stretch marks below the navel. The foundation of most mommy makeovers.
Most CommonRestores lost volume with implants or natural fat transfer. Choose your size, shape, and projection to recreate fuller, rounder breasts.
Elevates sagging breasts, reshapes stretched tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex. Often combined with augmentation.
Sculpts stubborn fat from the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, back, and arms. The removed fat can be used for natural breast or buttock enhancement.
For women whose breasts became uncomfortably large after pregnancy. Reduces size while lifting and reshaping for relief and proportion.
Uses your own fat (from liposuction) to naturally enhance breasts, buttocks, or fill hollowed facial areas—no implants required.
Dr. Neavin SpecialtyA mommy makeover isn't just about convenience—there are real advantages to addressing multiple concerns at once.
Heal from all procedures at once rather than taking time off multiple times.
Combined anesthesia, facility, and surgical fees are less than separate procedures.
One time under anesthesia means reduced overall risk compared to multiple surgeries.
See your full results together—everything works in harmony from the start.
Busy moms appreciate consolidating downtime into one period rather than several.
Feel like yourself again—in your clothes, at the beach, and in your own skin.
After two kids, I didn't recognize my own body anymore. Dr. Neavin gave me back myself. I wish I had done this sooner.
Mommy Makeover Patient
"A mommy makeover is about restoring what pregnancy changed—but it's also an opportunity. Many of my patients tell me they look even better than before they had children."
With over 20 years of experience in breast and body contouring, I understand that every woman's body responds differently to pregnancy. That's why I don't offer cookie-cutter mommy makeovers. Every procedure plan is customized based on your specific anatomy, concerns, and goals.
My expertise in fat transfer techniques gives you options that many surgeons can't offer. If you want breast augmentation without implants, I can use fat harvested during liposuction to naturally restore volume. This "two-for-one" approach—removing fat where you don't want it and adding it where you do—is one of my specialties.
I perform all mommy makeover procedures at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where you'll have access to the highest level of safety, monitoring, and care throughout your surgical experience.
From consultation to recovery, here's what to expect at each stage of your transformation.
We discuss your concerns, examine your areas of concern, review your medical history, and create a customized procedure plan. You'll see before-and-after photos of patients with similar starting points and leave with a clear understanding of what's possible.
Complete any required medical clearances, finalize your procedure plan, and prepare your home for recovery. You'll receive detailed instructions on medications, what to wear, and what to arrange for childcare and help at home.
Your mommy makeover is performed at Cedars-Sinai under general anesthesia. Surgery length varies based on procedures included—typically 4-6 hours. You'll go home the same day with a support person to care for you.
The first 1-2 weeks are the most demanding—you'll need help at home, especially with young children. Most patients return to light activities by week 2-3 and see their final results emerge over 3-6 months as swelling resolves.
Recovery varies based on which procedures you have. Here's a general timeline for a typical mommy makeover including tummy tuck and breast surgery.
Most challenging period. You'll need help at home, especially with children.
Moving around more easily. Can manage light activities at home.
Most return to work. Light exercise cleared. Childcare easier.
