What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a personalized set of cosmetic procedures designed to restore and enhance your body after having children. Each makeover is tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals for a rejuvenated appearance that boosts your confidence and helps you feel like yourself again.

What Does a Mommy Makeover Include?
Although every Mommy Makeover is unique and customized to your needs, most include a combination of the following procedures:
Tummy Tuck
Most Mommy Makeover surgeries include a tummy tuck, which addresses the muscles, fat, and skin of the abdominal wall. If you’ve experienced pregnancy or significant weight loss, your abdominal muscles may have become lax or separated. Our surgeons tighten and repair these muscles to create a flatter internal structure and remove loose skin and fat for a firm, contoured look.
The scar from this procedure runs from hip to hip and is low enough to be hidden under swimsuit bottoms or underwear. We use an innovative no-drain abdominoplasty procedure to improve your recovery experience.
The Benefits of a Drainless Tummy Tuck
The expert surgeons at The Center for Cosmetic Surgery specialize in the advanced drainless tummy tuck technique. This approach offers significant advantages for our patients:
- Increased Comfort: Eliminates the discomfort and fear associated with drains.
- Reduced Infection Risk: No concerns about infections at the drain entry sites.
- Better Healing: Dissolvable “quilting” sutures reduce tension on the incision, resulting in finer scars and fewer healing complications.
- Lower Seroma Risk: Progressive tension sutures effectively prevent fluid accumulation without the need for drains.
Dr. Vath, the first in Colorado to adopt this method, recognized its many benefits after training with international leaders in 2007.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation restores upper fullness if your breasts have lost volume due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. Our surgeons typically recommend placing the implants beneath the pectoralis muscles to achieve a more natural look with fewer complications. Incisions may be made in the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit.
Breast Lift
While implants can enhance volume, they can’t address sagging. If your breast tissue sags below the creases, a breast lift (mastopexy) can restore a youthful, perky shape.
Breast lift surgery includes these steps:
- Tighten the lower pole of your breasts
- Remove excess skin from the lower breast
- Elevate the breast, keeping the areola and nipple attached
- Reposition the skin more tightly around the lower breast to create a round undersurface and a better-contoured shape
Your surgeon will recommend a breast lift technique based on your needs and goals. Options include:
Wise Pattern (Anchor) Mastopexy
- Ideal for significant skin removal and reshaping
- Incision: Two intersecting ellipses creating an anchor pattern
Vertical (Lollipop) Mastopexy
- Suitable for moderate lifts, often combined with implants
- Incision: Vertical ellipse, sometimes with a small horizontal incision
Circumareolar or Benelli (Doughnut) Mastopexy
- Best for areolar adjustments with minimal lifting
- Incision: Around the areola
Other Breast Procedures
Our surgeons also offer nipple and areola reduction and inverted nipple repair to refine breast appearance.
Liposuction
Liposuction can be an excellent addition to your Mommy Makeover, refining your results and achieving sleeker contours.
Common areas for liposuction include:
- Hips
- Flanks (love handles)
- Back
- Outer thighs (saddlebags)
- Inner thighs
Liposuction requires only small incisions and can often be performed through the incisons made for tummy tuck surgery.
Mommy Makeover Benefits
A Mommy Makeover addresses multiple areas in one surgery, providing transformative, life-changing results. Benefits include:
- Recovery time consolidated by addressing multiple areas at once
- The confidence that comes with feeling good in your own skin
- Customized results tailored to your specific needs and goals
Additionally, you will save on expenses like facility fees and anesthesia by combining procedures.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Ideal Mommy Makeover candidates:
- Have experienced significant body changes after pregnancy (sagging breasts, excess abdominal skin, stubborn fat)
- Are in good general health without conditions that impair healing or increase surgical risks
- Are at a stable weight and close to their goal weight
- Do not smoke, as smoking interferes with healing and increases complications
- Are finished having children, as future pregnancies can reverse the results
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if a Mommy Makeover is right for you.

Preview Your Projected ResultsHow Long Is Mommy Makeover Surgery?
Mommy Makeover surgery typically takes about 3 to 6 hours, depending on the procedures you choose and their complexity. Here’s a breakdown of the time estimates for each procedure:
- Tummy tuck: 2 to 3 hours
- Breast procedures:
- Breast augmentation: 1 hour
- Breast lift: 2 to 3 hours
- Breast reduction: 2 to 3 hours
- Liposuction: 0.5 to 1.5 hours
Keep in mind that every patient is unique, and your surgical times may differ. Our surgeons will always prioritize your safety by keeping surgical time reasonable.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
While recovery experiences vary, most patients follow a similar timeline:
Week 1:
- This week is focused on rest, but you’ll be advised to get up and walk around your house regularly to promote circulation. Avoid any activity that significantly increases your blood pressure.
- You can expect to be off pain medication within 3 to 7 days; because we use Exparel® long-acting analgesic at the surgical site, many patients do not use prescription pain medications.
Week 2:
- Many patients return to work if their jobs are not physically demanding, but it’s important to keep taking it easy.
Week 3:
- You can start to increase the intensity of your walks or begin a very light, low-impact cardio workout.
Week 4:
- It’s generally safe to increase workout intensity as it feels comfortable.
- Listen to your body and adjust your activity accordingly. If something causes discomfort, ease off rather than push through it.
Week 6:
- Most patients have returned to their regular exercise routines by this point.
Following this timeline can help ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible results from your Mommy Makeover.
