All procedures are tailored for proportion, function, and long-term aesthetic harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mommy Makeovers
What is included in a mommy makeover?
In general, the tummy and breasts are addressed, but it’s really more about what the patient wants. There is no strict definition and Dr. Couvillion will help you come up with a plan that meets your goals.
Is it safe to combine multiple procedures?
Yes—when performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon like Dr. Couvillion, combining procedures is safe and reduces overall recovery time. Dr. Couvillion does limit how many procedures can be combined in one day, and this will be discussed at the time of your consultation.
How long should I wait after giving birth?
Most patients wait 6–12 months after childbirth and at least 6 months after breastfeeding to allow the body to stabilize.
Will I need drains?
Drains may be used depending on your tummy tuck or liposuction plan. Dr. Couvillion will walk you through what to expect.
Will my results last?
Yes, results are long-lasting, especially when you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Can I still get a mommy makeover if I haven’t had children?
Absolutely. The term refers to the combination of procedures, not the patient’s background. Many people pursue this option after weight loss or aging-related changes.
