What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body. There is no single "mommy makeover". Dr. Khansa tailors the combination to your specific goals and anatomy.
A mommy makeover includes any combination of these procedures:
Breast augmentation: restoring volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding
Breast lift (mastopexy): repositioning drooping breasts
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck): removing excess skin and tightening abdominal muscles separated by pregnancy
Liposuction: contouring stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise
By combining procedures in one surgery, you achieve comprehensive results, recover once, and return to your life sooner than if procedures were done separately.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Mommy Makeover?
You may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover if you:
Are bothered by breast volume loss, sagging, or asymmetry after pregnancy
Have loose, excess abdominal skin or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) from pregnancy
Want to address stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to exercise
Are done having children (or willing to accept how future pregnancies might affect results)
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Dr. Khansa will evaluate your anatomy and goals during a detailed consultation to determine which procedures are right for you.
Your Mommy Makeover Consultation with Dr. Khansa
Every mommy makeover begins with a thorough assessment. Dr. Khansa will:
Review your medical history, pregnancy history, and breastfeeding experience
Evaluate your breast volume, skin quality, and tissue laxity
Assess your abdominal skin, muscle separation, and fat distribution
Discuss your specific goals and timeline
Recommend a customized combination of procedures
Walk you through each procedure, recovery, and realistic outcomes
Evening and weekend consultations are available, because your schedule matters as a busy mom.
Mommy Makeover: The Procedure
A mommy makeover is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure (you go home the same day).
The exact steps depend on which procedures are included, but a typical mommy makeover might include:
Liposuction: removing unwanted fat from targeted areas (flanks, hips, abdomen, upper back)
Abdominoplasty: making an incision along the lower abdomen, tightening separated muscles, removing excess skin
Breast augmentation and/or lift: restoring volume and repositioning the breasts
Dr. Khansa performs each step with precision, placing incisions to minimize visibility and achieve natural proportions.
Total operative time typically ranges from 3 to 6 hours, depending on the combination of procedures.
Recovery after Mommy Makeover
Mommy makeover recovery is longer than a single procedure because you're healing from multiple surgeries at once. Here's what to expect:
Days 1-3: Pain, swelling, fatigue. Take prescribed pain medications. Most patients have someone help with childcare.
Weeks 2-3: Increase activity gradually. Most can return to desk work. Significant swelling begins to improve.
Weeks 4-6: Resume light exercise. Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting.
Weeks 6-8: Clear for most normal activities
Months 6-12: Final results visible as swelling fully resolves. Scars fade and settle.
Dr. Khansa provides detailed post-operative instructions and is available throughout your recovery.

FAQs
🔍 What is diastasis recti and can it be fixed during a mommy makeover?
Diastasis recti is a separation of the left and right rectus abdominis muscles (the "six-pack" muscles) during pregnancy. It often causes a bulge or "pooch" in the lower abdomen. During an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), Dr. Khansa can tighten these muscles by bringing them closer together with sutures, restoring the abdominal wall contour.
🔍 Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation or a breast lift?
Yes. Most patients are able to breastfeed after either procedure. Breast augmentation does not typically affect milk production. A breast lift preserves the milk ducts and nerves in most cases. Dr. Khansa will discuss any specific concerns during your consultation.
🔍 Will I have visible scars?
Yes, but scars are placed strategically to minimize visibility. Breast incisions are typically hidden by a bra or bathing suit. Abdominoplasty scars run along the lower abdomen, usually hidden by underwear or bikini bottoms. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months.
🔍 When can I return to exercise after a mommy makeover?
Light walking can begin within days of surgery. Light exercise (yoga, walking) typically resumes around 4-6 weeks. High-intensity exercise and heavy lifting should wait until 8-12 weeks, when tissue healing is sufficient. Dr. Khansa will give you specific clearance based on your healing.
🔍 How much does a mommy makeover cost?
Cost varies based on which procedures you choose, operative time, and facility fees. During your consultation, Dr. Khansa's team will provide a detailed quote.
🔍 What if I want more children after a mommy makeover?
It's possible, but future pregnancies will stretch your abdomen again and may affect your results. Most patients choose to wait until they're done having children before a mommy makeover. Others are happy with their results even after future pregnancies. This is an important conversation to have with Dr. Khansa during your consultation.
🔍 How do I decrease my risk of complications after mommy makeover?
There are essential steps you must take to ensure a smooth recovery after mommy makeover:
Prevent infection and wound healing problems: Do not smoke, or use any form of tobacco, nicotine or vaping for 6 weeks before surgery, until 6 weeks after surgery
Accelerate your recovery: Eat a high protein diet. Drink plenty of fluids
Prevent blood clots: If you are on an oral contraceptive pill that contains estrogen, stop it 6 weeks before surgery and do not restart it until 6 weeks after surgery. You must walk at least 5 times a day, starting on the evening of surgery
Prevent pneumonia: Take deep breaths throughout the day, and cough if you need to
Prescriptions: Take prescription pain medications as instructed. Do not take herbal or homeopathic medications unless approved by Dr. Khansa, as these can cause bleeding and abnormal blood pressure
