What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures performed during one surgery to address multiple post-pregnancy or post-weight loss concerns. By treating these areas together, patients can reduce overall downtime and achieve more comprehensive, harmonious results.

A mommy makeover may include:

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
Liposuction
Breast augmentation (implants)
Breast lift (mastopexy)
Breast reduction

Your surgical plan is fully tailored to your needs, anatomy, and goals.

Do You Need to Be a Mom to Have a Mommy Makeover?

Not at all. While the term “mommy makeover” originates from post-pregnancy concerns, the procedures are equally effective for anyone dealing with loose skin, stubborn fat, or sagging breasts due to weight loss or aging. If you’re looking for a dramatic, all-in-one transformation, this procedure may be the right fit.

Planning Your Mommy Makeover in Tampa

The process begins with a detailed consultation at our Tampa office. During this visit, Dr. Kreithen or Dr. Holcomb will:

Review your medical history and goals
Perform a physical exam
Recommend personalized treatment options
Discuss costs, recovery expectations, and long-term results

We’ll work closely with you to design a plan that reflects your aesthetic vision while prioritizing safety and natural-looking outcomes.

Mommy Makeover Surgery: What to Expect

Anesthesia

General anesthesia is used for comfort and safety during the procedure.

Surgery Length

Procedures typically last several hours depending on your treatment plan.

Potential Procedures:

Tummy Tuck: Removes excess skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles
Liposuction: Eliminates stubborn fat in areas like the hips, waist, or thighs
Breast Surgery: Involves implants, lifts, or reductions depending on your needs

Some patients require an overnight stay, especially if multiple procedures are combined.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery varies based on the number of procedures, but here’s a general timeline:

Week 1: Expect swelling, soreness, and limited mobility. Pain is manageable with medication.
Week 2: Most patients are able to walk comfortably and resume light activities. Driving may be allowed if off pain medication.
Weeks 3–4: Gradual return to normal activity. Continue wearing compression garments if advised.
6–8 Weeks: Most restrictions are lifted, and full results begin to emerge as swelling decreases.

You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor healing.

Mommy Makeover Results

While swelling and bruising may initially conceal your results, you’ll start to see significant improvements within a few weeks. Final results typically settle in after a few months as the body fully heals. Most patients enjoy:

A flatter, firmer abdomen
Perkier, more youthful breasts
A more defined waistline
Renewed confidence in and out of clothing
