Are Mommy Makeovers Still a Big Thing?
March 28th, 2023
Are Mommy Makeovers Still a Thing? Many will agree that having children is one of the most rewarding experiences a mother may have. Yet, the physical effects of pregnancy, especially multiple pregnancies, can leave some women with unwanted and unflattering changes to the body. A complete Mommy Makeover is a combination of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) using body sculpting techniques of the abdomen to tighten stretched muscles and flatten the tummy and restoring breasts to pre-pregnancy size and shape (enlargement, reduction, lift). I do not recommend having both surgeries done at the same time to allow for full recovery in between procedures. My patients are about 50/50 in choosing which surgery to do first and some are even satisfied with electing to only do the initial surgery.
The goal of this post-partum surgery is restore changes that occur in anatomy following pregnancy, when diet and exercise are ineffective. Yes, Mommy Makeovers are still popular for patients considering this type of restorative cosmetic surgery. My patients report being very happy with their decision to have this surgery.

My name is Melissa. I’m in my 30 years of living, I’ve never had any sort of surgery. I delivered all of my 3 children naturally and nursed all of them for a full year. I would say I took pretty good care of myself while pregnant. I exercised. I ate decently. But there was still a little side of my body that never reverted back to my pre-mommy days. My husband and I decided quite quickly after we had our third child, with a count of 1 girl and 2 boys, all under the age of 5, that we were DONE! The chapter of baby-making was closing and the “Restoring of me” chapter was beginning. In fact, the wind was blowing the pages open.
I never ever second-guessed my decision to nurse my children. I went 14 months with my first-born, 8 months with my middle child and a full year with my last born. I even used a breast pump as well, to keep the supply and demand up. And now 5 years later, I look in the mirror and look for the missing boobs I once had. I long for those days when I was nursing, because my breasts were at their prettiest. I had cleavage… I had shape… I had my husband’s eyes locked on me… Now fast forward 5 years and I’ve got nothing, yet!
At the time I came to terms with pursuing breast augmentation, my husband, as well, was pursuing a new 52″ flat screen TV, with a 5 speaker surround sound system. “Wow honey, isn’t the television we currently have just 5 years old?” Of course it was! “And so we’re getting all new everything because why?” I asked. Oh, because he wanted to. And then that is when it became clear to me. I, too, can have something I want and it certainly wasn’t going to be anything flat! Listen to the radio ad here.
