The amazing experiences of pregnancy and childbirth are unlike any other for most women. Still, these life-changing events can cause major changes to a woman’s body. In this regard, it’s not uncommon for a woman to be left feeling discontent and frustrated with the ways her body has been altered after becoming a mom.
If you are a mother in this situation, you know that even with rigorous diet and exercise, it’s often impossible to get your pre-baby body back on your own. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was some other way to restore the more lifted, youthful appearance you had before having children?
For many women, the answer is a mommy makeover. Mommy makeovers are customized surgeries that aim to shape and contour a woman’s body after she is done having children. The surgery itself generally includes multiple procedures for different parts of the body. Breast rejuvenation, liposuction, tummy tuck, and other body contouring procedures are the most common elements of a typical mommy makeover.

If you are considering any aesthetic surgery I highly recommend Dr. Aric Aghayan who is so easy to talk too and real world and his attentive staff will take great care of you. Make the call, you will love the results!
If you don’t like something about yourself they can fix it. Either performed by himself or a recommendation in the right direction, Dr. Aghayan is the answer. Thank you for helping me improve self-confidence.
What made my experience with Dr. Aghayan so rewarding was not just his wildly competent and professional procedural skills as a plastic surgeon, but his addicting spirit of reassurance and strong bedside manner. Many doctors have the intellectual capability to perform plastic surgery related procedures, Dr. Aghayan goes beyond this by his spirit of kindness and respect.

Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are mothers who are through having children and have been done breastfeeding for at least six months. It’s common for mommy makeover patients to seek fuller, more lifted breasts; a tighter, flatter tummy; and reduced fat in places like the abdomen and flanks (“love handles”). Contouring of the buttocks and other procedures such as labiaplasty may also be desired.
As with any patient undergoing cosmetic surgery, it’s important that mommy makeover candidates have realistic expectations when it comes to their results. Patients should also be in good overall health and not have any pre-existing conditions that may hinder their ability to heal and recover well after surgery.
Mommy makeovers are outpatient procedures performed under general anesthesia, but because of their complexity, you should plan for a daylong stay at the hospital before you’re able to return home. The surgery itself can last anywhere from three to seven hours, depending on which procedures you’ve chosen to undergo and other factors.
Because all mommy makeover surgeries are so different, there is not a set list of steps to be expected. Use the links below to read more about the surgical steps related to individual procedures:
Because mommy makeovers are complex procedures, the recovery period tends to be lengthier and more intense than it is with other single procedures.
Generally speaking, you should expect to take about two weeks off work for your initial at-home recovery. Be sure to schedule childcare if you require it as well. You won’t be able to lift heavy things, including children, directly after your surgery — usually for about six weeks.
For the first few days, walking will be difficult, so it’s important to have some at-home care in place. Set up as much of it as possible before your surgery to help ease the transition. Dr. Aghayan will provide you with detailed at-home care instructions. Following these instructions will help progress your healing and mitigate swelling, pain, and scarring.
You will likely be able to resume your normal daily activities after about two weeks, but expect to avoid exercise and other strenuous physical activities for approximately two months. Most patients find that total healing takes around six months.
