Wish you could reclaim your pre-pregnancy shape?
Restore your youthful figure
with a Mommy Makeover
- Has motherhood taken a toll on your breasts?
- Do you have loose, crepe-y skin on your belly?
- Do you shy away from wearing a bikini?
As a mom, you're so accustomed to putting your children first. Isn't it time you did something special just for you? Maybe it's time to consider restoring your shape with a Mommy Makeover.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures to restore your figure to its pre-motherhood shape—and give your spirits a well-deserved lift as well.
A Mommy Makeover is as unique as you are
- If your breasts have lost volume after pregnancy, breast augmentation can restore their fullness.
- If you've developed sagging in your
breasts, a breast lift—alone or in combination with breast augmentation—can give your bustline a more youthful look.
- If you have loose, excess skin on your belly and lax abdominal muscles after pregnancy, a tummy tuck can give you firmer, trimmer abs.
- If you're beginning to notice signs of facial aging, a facelift or eyelid lift can help you look younger and more refreshed.

Dr. Rappaport answers questions
about Mommy Makeovers
Is it safe to have more than one
plastic surgery procedure at one time?
“Studies have shown that having more than one plastic surgery procedure at a time is no more dangerous than undergoing a single procedure, as long as the surgery does not take more than 4½ to 5 hours. Breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, for example, can usually be performed in combination.
“However, you might choose to have one procedure, such as breast augmentation, then wait 8 to 12 weeks before having a tummy tuck or other surgery. During our personal consultation, I can help you decide what is best for you.”
If I exercise after having a baby, won't that get me back to a pre-pregnancy shape?
“It depends on your body. Some women are fortunate to resume near-pre-pregnancy shape, but most moms complain that they cannot return to their previous figure.
“While exercise will help strengthen the muscles stretched open during pregnancy, it cannot replace the effectiveness of tummy tuck surgery for the correction of damaged or loose skin.”
Can a Mommy Makeover remove stretch marks?
“A full tummy tuck removes most, if not all, of the skin between the belly button and the pubic region—along with the stretch marks. But any stretch marks above the navel will not be removed.”
How soon after having a baby
can I have a Mommy Makeover?
“You need to allow your body time to fully recover from childbirth. I recommend that you wait six months after your last pregnancy, or six months after weaning your youngest child, to have a Mommy Makeover.”
I might still have more children.
Should I have a Mommy Makeover?
“I recommend that you wait until you're done having children before you have a Mommy Makeover. If you have more children after your surgery, any pregnancies could undo the improvements of your makeover.”
