Since Mommy Makeovers can be so different for each patient, we find people have a lot of questions about this combination procedure. Read on to get answers to your Mommy Makeover FAQs.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is designed for moms who want to restore multiple areas of their bodies after having children. But you don’t have to be a mom to undergo a Mommy Makeover. The combination surgery is for anyone who wants to improve several areas of their body with a single procedure.
What does a Mommy Makeover consist of?
Typically, some combination of breast augmentation, tummy tuck, breast lift, and liposuction is performed as part of a Mommy Makeover. However, you can customize your procedure based on the areas you want to improve. Some procedures can be performed concurrently, such as liposuction and a tummy tuck. Others must be staged so that your body has time to recuperate between procedures. Your surgeon will work with you to create your personalized treatment plan.

Does Mommy Makeover include BBL?
Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is often performed as a part of a Mommy Makeover. Since recuperation involves lying on your stomach, it may have to be performed before or after breast procedures or a tummy tuck.
Does Mommy Makeover leave scars?
Although some scarring is inevitable after surgical procedures, an experienced plastic surgeon uses advanced techniques to reduce and conceal scarring. For example, your plastic surgeon may place incisions strategically on areas such as the breast crease where they are easily hidden. Following your plastic surgeon’s aftercare recommendations is important for optimal scar outcome.
How much is a Mommy Makeover?
The cost of your Mommy Makeover will depend on the procedures included, the length of the surgery, and your unique needs. We will quote you a specific price at your consultation that includes:
- Dr. Lewis’s fee
- Operating room fee
- Anesthesia fee
- Cost of any additional overnight stays
We’ve established competitive pricing for our plastic surgery procedures to help as many people as possible pursue the aesthetic improvements they desire. We make sure that there are no hidden costs and no surprises.
How long does it take to recover from Mommy Makeover?
Your full recovery time will vary depending on the types of procedures included. Both BBL and tummy tuck—two of the most extensive components of a Mommy Makeover—typically require 1 to 2 weeks off from work, or longer if your job is more physical. You can usually return to light exercise within 2 to 4 weeks, and vigorous exercise in 4 to 6 weeks. It may take a few months for all swelling to resolve and for you to f
eel truly “back to normal” after your procedure.
How painful is recovery from Mommy Makeover surgery?
Recovery from Mommy Makeover surgery can involve some discomfort and pain, but the level of pain experienced varies from person to person. The procedures involved, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction, can cause soreness, swelling, bruising, and tightness in the treated areas. Pain medication, support garments, and proper post-operative care can help manage pain during the recovery period. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions and allow yourself enough time to heal.
Does insurance cover Mommy Makeover surgery?
The cost of cosmetic procedures is typically the patient’s obligation and is not covered by private health insurance or Medicaid. If there is a possibility that a component of your surgery is reconstructive and medically necessary, our knowledgeable staff members can help you navigate the process of verifying coverage and answer your questions.
How do I Select a plastic surgeon for my Mommy Makeover?
When selecting a surgeon for your cosmetic procedure, research their education, training, and certification. A board-certified plastic surgeon will have undergone rigorous training and taken steps to ensure they perform cosmetic procedures safely and ethically. A good resource for verifying a plastic surgeon’s board certification is the website for the American Board of Plastic Surgery. A Mommy Makeover can give you the confidence you are looking for whether you are a new mom, an experienced mom, or not a mom.
