Mommy Makeover FAQs
What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a familiar term for a personalized set of cosmetic procedures a woman may seek after having gone through pregnancy and childbirth. Mommy makeovers can include cosmetic surgery, non-surgical treatments, or a combination of both. A mommy makeover helps to restore and rejuvenate your appearance, so that you feel more satisfied with you body.  

What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

Each mommy makeover is unique, but generally consists of surgery to enhance the breasts, abdomen, and body. Breast rejuvenation may include a breast augmentation and lift, or a breast reduction and lift. A tummy tuck with liposuction may also be included to tighten and tone the abdomen. During your consultation and after discussing your goals, Dr. Howarth will design a treatment plan that includes procedures for your optimal results.

Which Mommy Makeover Procedures Do I Need?

The procedures that will be included in your personal treatment plan are based on your physical presentation and goals. After listening to your concerns and goals, Dr. Ashley Howarth will recommend a mommy makeover procedure set to help you reach your desired outcome.

When Should I Have my Mommy Makeover?

In order to achieve an ideal result, you should wait to have your mommy makeover until you are at least six months past pregnancy and breastfeeding. You should also be finished building your family, that way your stunning results can be enjoyed for years to come.

Most women plan to take about two weeks away from work to rest and recover at home. Plan on having some help at home initially so that you can focus on your recovery. 

Do I Stay Overnight After a Mommy Makeover?
