Mommy Makeover

In general, I recommend waiting 6–12 months after delivery before considering a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body time to recover from pregnancy and your weight to stabilize. If you're breastfeeding, I recommend waiting at least three months after you've finished breastfeeding before surgery.

Not necessarily. My goal is for you to be at a healthy, stable weight that you feel you can comfortably maintain long-term. If you're actively trying to lose a significant amount of weight, it may make sense to wait.

Loose skin and stretched abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) often cannot be corrected with additional diet or exercise alone. During your consultation, we'll determine whether additional weight loss would benefit your results.

Yes. A Mommy Makeover does not prevent future pregnancies. However, pregnancy can stretch the abdominal muscles and skin and may affect your surgical results.

Ideally, you should not be planning another pregnancy in the near future. If you're unsure about future children, we can discuss your plans and the timing that makes sense for you.

Planning ahead for help at home is especially important if you have young children. You'll need help with childcare for about three weeks and should avoid lifting young children during that time.

We'll review your specific responsibilities before surgery so you can plan for the support you'll need.

There isn't a perfect age. The best timing depends on your overall health, your anatomy, your goals, and where you are in life.

Women choose Mommy Makeover surgery at many different stages of life—from after pregnancy and breastfeeding to later in life after weight loss or other changes to their body.
