A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that helps restore a woman’s body contours after pregnancy. Because every woman’s experience is unique, a surgical plan is tailored to each patient’s specific concerns.
Common mommy makeover procedures include:
These cosmetic procedures are typically performed in one operation, reducing overall recovery time and helping patients achieve comprehensive results in a single procedure.
Patients are placed under general anesthesia during surgery. Dr. Delatte then performs the surgical procedures included in your personalized treatment plan, which may include:
Depending on the chosen combination of procedures, surgery may take several hours. Once complete, patients are monitored before being discharged with detailed recovery instructions.
A mommy makeover can correct body changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, or aging. Each procedure is tailored to the patient's needs, addressing issues like:
Due to breastfeeding and volume loss
In the abdomen and flanks, and stretch marks in areas where excess loose skin is removed
Causing a weak core and belly bulge
Deposits that don’t respond to exercise
In areas where excess loose skin is removed
A mommy makeover can enhance multiple areas of the body, including:
The mommy makeover procedure helps women restore their pre-pregnancy body contours with a customized combination of procedures. Performing these procedures in one surgery creates an exceptionally harmonious, balanced result without the need for multiple recovery periods.
With a healthy diet and exercise, patients can maintain their mommy makeover results for years to come. Many women find that enhancing their body's proportions and appearance helps them feel more like themselves again after changes caused by pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are:
Women who smoke or have conditions that increase the risk of poor wound healing should discuss their options with Dr. Delatte during their consultation.
Mommy makeover recovery varies based on the number of procedures performed. Most patients take two to four weeks off from work and daily activities, avoiding heavy lifting, including picking up small children, for several weeks.
Pain medication helps manage discomfort, and wearing a surgical bra and compression garments reduces swelling. While initial healing takes a few weeks, full results emerge over several months.
A mommy makeover provides a smoother, firmer, and more sculpted appearance.
Because each procedure is tailored to the patient's unique needs, your results will align with your vision for a stronger, tighter abdomen, reduced sagging skin, or enhanced breast shape, volume, and contours.
With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, results are long-lasting, helping you feel confident in your body again.

With a healthy diet and exercise routine, mommy makeover results can last for many years. However, significant weight gain or another pregnancy may affect results.
Most mommy makeover patients resume light activities in about two weeks, but heavy lifting and exercise should wait at least six weeks.
A tummy tuck can remove stretch marks found on the lower abdomen, but others may remain depending on their location.
Yes, but pregnancy may your impact results. It’s best to time your mommy makeover after you’re done having children.
