What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of body contouring and breast procedures performed together to restore your shape after pregnancy, nursing, or weight fluctuations. Dr. Couvillion customizes each plan to your needs, which may include:

Breast Procedures

  • Breast Augmentation: Uses implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts
  • Hybrid Breast Augmentation: Combines implants + fat grafting for a soft, natural result
  • Breast Lift: Lifts sagging or deflated breasts
  • Breast Lift With Implants: Restores fullness + youthful position

Body Contouring

  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and repairs separated muscles
  • Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat in hips, flanks, thighs, arms, or abdomen
  • Arm Lift: Tightens and reshapes sagging upper arms
  • Body Lift: Comprehensive skin tightening for dramatic transformation

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

Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

  • Addresses multiple post-pregnancy concerns in one surgery
  • Lifts, reshapes, and restores breast volume
  • Flattens and firms the abdomen
  • Targets hard-to-lose fat pockets
  • Enhances comfort in clothing and swimwear
  • Improves confidence in your skin and shape

Who Is a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are done having children and breastfeeding
  • Have sagging skin, separated abdominal muscles, or deflated breasts
  • Struggle with stubborn fat in certain areas despite diet and exercise
  • Are in good overall health and at a stable weight
  • Want a streamlined recovery with long-lasting results

During your consultation, Dr. Couvillion will help determine the safest and most effective procedure plan.

Preparing for Surgery

Your mommy makeover begins with a detailed consultation to map your goals and understand your anatomy. Pre-surgical steps typically include:

  • Reviewing your health history and medications
  • Stopping nicotine use at least 4 weeks prior
  • Planning help at home during your recovery
  • Setting realistic expectations for healing and results

You’ll receive a custom treatment and recovery plan designed to fit your lifestyle.

What to Expect for Mommy Makeover Surgery

  • Procedure Length: 4–6 hours, depending on your plan
  • Anesthesia: General
  • Incisions: Vary based on procedures—Dr. Couvillion uses hidden, minimal incisions wherever possible
  • Recovery Location: Outpatient with home recovery or overnight stay if needed
  • Downtime: 2–3 weeks off work; activity restrictions up to 6 weeks

Recovery and Results

You’ll return home with Dr. Couvillion’s detailed recovery instructions and support. Most patients experience:

  • Swelling and tightness for 1–2 weeks
  • Gradual return to light activity within 10–14 days
  • Full results visible in 3–6 months as swelling subsides
  • Scars that fade over time with proper care

Dr. Couvillion schedules regular follow-ups to ensure you’re healing well and loving your results.

FAQ

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.
