What Is Mommy Makeover Surgery?
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of plastic surgery procedures performed together to renew a woman’s body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Patients appreciate having multiple areas improved with a single surgery and recovery period.
What Happens During a Consultation?
If you’re considering mommy makeover surgery, you’ll probably come to your consultation with numerous questions. Dr. Masters takes whatever time is needed to answer those questions, which is something that sets him apart from many other surgeons. Additionally, he listens closely as you describe your concerns about your appearance and then explains not only what he recommends but also why he believes it’s the best path for you.
A Body Contouring Master
Dr. Masters’ surgical expertise encompasses all aspects of body contouring, breast enhancement, and post-weight loss refinements. He has earned a reputation as a tummy tuck specialist and is highly regarded for his smooth, even liposuction outcomes and natural-looking skin tightening results.
Combining these procedures in just the right proportions can create a more balanced figure and flattering, youthful results. Patients enjoy Dr. Masters’ exceptional blend of form and function, leading to comprehensive quality of life improvements.
Why Do Women Get Mommy Makeover Surgery?
Many of the patients who consult with Dr. Masters say they decided to pursue mommy makeover surgery because they were frustrated by the changes caused by pregnancy and lacked the confidence they once had in their bodies. Typically, they want a flatter stomach and fuller, lifted breasts. And because a mommy makeover combines multiple procedures in a single operation, patients only have to plan for a single recovery—something that mothers of young children appreciate.
Who’s an Ideal Candidate?
You’re a good candidate for mommy makeover surgery if you meet the following criteria:
- Have waited at least 6 to 12 months after delivery and stopping breastfeeding
- Are at or near the weight you intend to maintain
- Don’t plan to have any more children
- Are in good overall health
What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover?
The combination of procedures included in a mommy makeover varies from patient to patient, but the operation usually includes body contouring and breast enhancement surgery. Typical mommy makeover packages include 2 or more of the following procedures:
Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty—commonly called a tummy tuck—removes the excess skin that remains for many women after pregnancy. This is especially true after multiple pregnancies, when the loose skin doesn’t shrink back to its old shape. Additionally, a tummy tuck can repair separated abdominal muscles—a condition called diastasis recti that results in a “belly pooch.”
Liposuction
Tummy tuck surgery is often combined with liposuction, which removes pockets of excess fat and ensures smooth contours after a tummy tuck. Dr. Masters uses a power-assisted liposuction (PAL) technique called SAFElipo®, which minimizes trauma and produces excellent results.
Breast Lift
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can also cause breasts to sag. During a breast lift, Dr. Masters removes excess skin, reshapes the tissue, and lifts the breast so that the nipple is more elevated. In some cases, women have sagging, overly large breasts after pregnancy, and Dr. Masters may recommend breast reduction surgery.
Breast Lift With Implants
Combining a breast lift with implants restores fullness to breasts that may have lost volume after pregnancy. Some patients may choose to get implants because they’ve always wanted larger breasts and see the mommy makeover as an ideal opportunity to pursue their goals.
Breast Augmentation
A common question mommy makeover patients ask is whether they can achieve their cosmetic goals with breast augmentation alone. It is possible in some cases, but it’s important to understand that implants add weight and can add to pre-existing sagging.
Labiaplasty
Childbirth is one of the primary reasons women get labiaplasty, a surgical technique that repairs vaginal muscles and the tissues of the labia. These tissues get stretched and enlarged during vaginal birth, causing both functional and cosmetic concerns.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in OKC?
As you might imagine, the cost of a mommy makeover can vary quite a bit depending on the number and type of procedures included. Combining procedures does reduce the cost a bit compared to having separate operations because you pay certain fees only once. Dr. Masters understands that cost is a factor for most patients when choosing a surgeon, but it’s important to select a highly qualified and experienced surgeon for your mommy makeover surgery.
Recovery
Recovery after mommy makeover surgery varies with the procedures performed and individual patient factors. Combining procedures typically does not prolong recovery, making it an attractive option for many patients.
Dr. Masters diligently works to streamline your recovery, beginning with meticulous surgical technique and use of Exparel®, a long-acting, non-opioid anesthetic. This medication greatly reduces discomfort in the early stages of recovery. In addition, Dr. Masters provides detailed recovery plans and comprehensive patient education to support a smooth, informed healing period.
Mommy Makeover Recovery Timeline
Every patient heals at their own pace, but many people find it helpful to know what a typical recovery looks like. Here’s a week-by-week guide to what you can expect after your mommy makeover:
Week 1: The Early Healing Phase
- You’ll likely experience swelling, bruising, and some soreness, but pain is well managed with medications and the long-lasting effects of Exparel.
- Rest is critical during this time, though light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
- Surgical drains (if used) are often removed within the first few days.
- Most patients will need help at home with daily tasks and childcare.
Weeks 2–3: Regaining Independence
- Swelling and bruising begin to subside, and discomfort continues to improve.
- Many patients are able to resume light household tasks and return to nonstrenuous work.
- Wear your compression garments consistently to reduce swelling and support your results.
- Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or exercise, but continue taking gentle walks.
Weeks 4–6: Building Strength
- Energy levels increase, and most patients feel ready for light exercise (with surgeon approval).
- By the end of this phase, many can resume driving and more regular daily routines.
- Incisions continue to heal and fade, though mild swelling may persist.
- You’ll still want to avoid strenuous activity, but you will feel more like yourself.
Weeks 7–12: Back to Normal
- Most restrictions are lifted, and patients can return to full exercise and regular activities.
- Your results become more visible and refined as residual swelling subsides.
- Scars will still be present but will gradually improve in color and texture.
3–6 Months: Enjoying Your Results
- By this point, your body has healed significantly, and the full benefits of your mommy makeover are apparent.
- Scars will continue to mature with proper care, and swelling is usually minimal.
- Many patients feel confident returning to all aspects of their lifestyle, including fitness, travel, and special events.
