What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a term used to describe a combination approach to address the changes that pregnancy and breastfeeding bring to a mother’s body. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution but a customized plan David M. Godat, MD, creates to suit your specific set of needs and goals.
There are numerous procedures a mommy makeover can include:
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Tummy tuck
- Breast reduction
- Liposuction
- Fat transfer
- Thigh or arm contouring
During your initial consultation with Dr. Godat, he discusses the options best suited for your treatment goals. You’ll have all the details you need to make an informed decision about your care.
When’s the right time for a mommy makeover?
Timing is an important part of deciding to move forward with a mommy makeover. If you’re planning to have another child soon or are still breastfeeding, it may be better to wait until after you’ve had your last child.
That said, there are some plastic surgery procedures that can be done even before you’ve completed your family. Speak with Dr. Godat about your options.
Another aspect of timing involves having enough help after your surgery. There will be a brief period of time when you won’t be able to drive, and you’ll need help around the house for a week or so as your body begins the healing process.
That’s especially true if you have babies or small children at home. There will be lifting restrictions for a few weeks after a mommy makeover, and that includes lifting your kids.
How can I improve healing after a mommy makeover?
Healing is a very individualized matter and depends in large part on your overall health. Smokers may not be good candidates for a mommy makeover, as smoking causes circulatory problems and slows wound healing. Quitting a few weeks prior to your procedure can make a world of difference in your healing process.
You can also boost your healing by following Dr. Godat’s recovery instructions. Don’t return to normal activity levels until your body has had a chance to recover, and take things easy at first. Embracing a healthy diet is also a great way to boost healing.

The procedures done under Mommy Makeover can vary depending on your unique needs and problems. But a typical mommy makeover eliminates the visible side effects of childbirth, mostly found around the breast and waistline area.
Many new moms prefer to restore the fullness of their breasts through surgeries like breast implants or fat transfer. Some also include breast lifts to make their breasts look even better and more prominent to achieve better results.
As for the waistline area, moms generally reach out to us to discuss removing the unwanted loosen skin around their abdomen. In turn, we suggest our tummy tuck along with our liposuction procedure.
For other specific childbirth side effects and concerns, other surgical options can be added to the Mommy Makeover, such as a facelift, skin tightening, and more.
The team at Dr. Godat would happily go over the entire list of surgical procedures that you can choose from. Then, together, we can design a specific treatment plan that will help you love the way you look and feel.
