Mommy Makeover in Fort Worth, TX
Common Mommy Makeover Techniques
A mommy makeover is an individualized combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to address the various ways pregnancy and childbirth affect a woman’s body. The following techniques are commonly included in a large number of mommy makeover surgeries, although your specific treatment plan will be tailored to your unique needs and goals:
Abdominal
- Tummy Tuck – This treatment is used to remove redundant skin and fat from the abdomen while repairing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), effectively addressing the stretched skin and weakened muscles that often result from pregnancy.
- Liposuction – This versatile fat removal technique can be used on multiple areas of the body like the abdomen but also the buttocks, hips, and thighs. It is used to remove stubborn fat deposits, helping to restore pre-pregnancy body contours.
Breast
- Breast Augmentation – This procedure utilizes implants to restore lost breast volume and improve shape, helping mothers regain the fuller, more youthful chest they had before pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Breast Lift – Also known as mastopexy, this technique raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to create a more uplifted, youthful breast contour.
- Breast Reduction – For mothers whose breasts remained permanently enlarged after pregnancy, this procedure removes excess tissue to create a more proportionate and comfortable breast size.
Lower Body
- Thigh Lift – Remove excess skin and fat from the inner and/or outer thighs, helping mothers achieve smoother, more toned legs.
- Lower Body Lift – This comprehensive procedure addresses sagging skin and tissue around the entire midsection, hips, and buttocks for a more defined silhouette for mothers who have experienced significant weight changes during or after pregnancy.
Good Candidates for a Mommy Makeover
Mommy makeovers are incredible for women who have done their best with diet and exercise, but struggle to get back to the body they had before pregnancy and childbirth. We encourage women to wait until they are finished with plans to have children, since any future pregnancies will alter their results. However, a mommy makeover will not affect a woman’s ability to get pregnant in the future.
The Procedure
All mommy makeovers are performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Depending on how many techniques are combined, the surgery could last 6-8 hours. It is common for patients to have a short hospital stay with this operation.
The Recovery Process
Most women will require at least a full month for recovery, but many can return to office work after about two weeks. The results will reveal themselves in multiple stages as the breast implants settle into their natural placement and the incisions begin to heal. It generally takes a full year for all changes to become apparent.
Benefits of the Mommy Makeover
- Comprehensive body contouring in a single surgical session

Mommy Makeover FAQs
Can I combine a mommy makeover with facial procedures?
While it's certainly possible to include facial procedures like a facelift or eyelid surgery with your mommy makeover, your surgeon will carefully evaluate whether combining additional procedures is safe based on total surgery time. Some patients may be advised to stage their treatments for optimal safety and results.
What happens if I gain weight after a mommy makeover?
While the removed fat cells and excess skin won't return, significant weight gain can still affect your results by causing remaining fat cells to expand and the skin to stretch again. Maintaining a stable weight through healthy lifestyle habits is the best way to preserve your results long-term.
