What Does a Mommy Makeover Consist of?

A Mommy Makeover in St. Louis, MO, is a personalized plan that combines procedures to address changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations. At West County Plastic Surgeons, we tailor Mommy Makeover surgery to your goals—often blending contouring and breast enhancement options—so results look balanced and natural. Every treatment plan is unique, and timing, techniques, and recovery are based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and preferences.

Common Procedures Combined in a Mommy Makeover

Although each Mommy Makeover is unique, the most common components include:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin for a flatter midsection
• Breast surgery options such as breast augmentation (implants or fat transfer), breast lift, or a combined breast enhancement to restore shape and position
• Liposuction to refine areas like the waist, hips, flanks, or thighs for smoother body contours
• Select add-ons based on goals, such as minor scar refinement or areolar resizing during breast lift when appropriate

These cosmetic surgery combinations are designed to be safe and synergistic when planned by an experienced plastic surgery team.

Who is a Good Mommy Makeover Candidate?

Candidacy Basics

Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover are in good general health, at or near a stable weight, and finished with childbearing and breastfeeding. It’s important to be a non-smoker or willing to stop before and after surgery, and to have realistic expectations about recovery and outcomes. During consultation, your surgeon will review whether procedures like tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation, or a breast lift can be performed together or staged for safety.

Recovery and Downtime at a Glance

Recovery depends on the exact cosmetic surgery combination. Many patients take about two weeks off routine activities, with light walking encouraged early. Lifting restrictions typically last several weeks—especially after a tummy tuck and breast surgery. Support garments may be recommended after liposuction and abdominoplasty, and underwire bras are usually avoided initially after breast enhancement. Our team will provide personalized guidelines to help you return to work, exercise, and family life safely.
