Mommy Makeover
Many women find it challenging to regain their pre-pregnancy body shape, as they often struggle with losing weight or toning specific areas.
This is often due to limited time or energy, as balancing responsibilities—especially while raising children—can make it difficult to focus on personal fitness goals. Additionally, certain areas of the body may be resistant to traditional diet and exercise. A mommy makeover provides a personalized treatment plan designed to address specific concerns, helping patients restore their pre-pregnancy appearance more effectively.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy, childbirth, and the journey into motherhood can be incredibly rewarding, offering experiences that are truly magical. The time spent with your children is invaluable, and every pregnancy brings a sense of wonder as you witness the many changes your body undergoes.
For many mothers, a Mommy Makeover provides a solution to the lasting effects these changes can have on their bodies, which may impact confidence when looking in the mirror.
A Mommy Makeover in Atlanta is a plastic surgery procedure designed for women whose bodies have undergone changes after pregnancy or childbirth. This procedure combines a series of body contouring and breast surgeries, tailored specifically to each individual.
The goal is to help you achieve the most flattering results. Typically, the procedures are performed in one session to optimize results and minimize recovery time. Dr. Norman Stewart will guide you through the best options for your needs and explain the techniques that are most suitable for your unique body.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
After pregnancy, you might notice changes in areas like your breasts, stomach, arms, legs, and backside. These changes can vary for each woman, but common effects include sagging skin, loose muscles, small pockets of fat, or the development of folds and wrinkles.
Your breasts may appear deflated or sag, and you may experience changes in their size or shape. Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are women who have completed their family, as a future pregnancy could reverse the results. It's important to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure. Since it can be customized to suit individual needs, a mommy makeover is often a great option for mothers seeking a slimmer, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
The mommy makeover is a popular plastic surgery option because of its ability to deliver exceptional results. Pregnancy and childbirth can leave lasting effects on the body, impacting how you look or feel in certain clothes. Many women report feeling more feminine and youthful after the procedure—sometimes even better than they did before pregnancy! In addition to enhancing self-esteem and overall appearance, a mommy makeover offers several benefits, including:
-
Improved skin tightness in the abdomen
-
Reduction of stubborn fat pockets around the body
-
Enhancement of sagging breasts or buttocks
-
Reduced recovery time with multiple procedures in one session
-
Tightening of loose muscles
What Type of Surgeries Are Common?
During a mommy makeover, Dr. Norman Stewartmay use a variety of common plastic surgery techniques, but it's important to remember that each treatment plan is customized for you. While most women opt to have all recommended surgeries performed in one session, some may choose to space out certain procedures. The most common surgeries included in a mommy makeover are:
-
Breast enhancement or augmentation, such as a breast lift, breast implants, or fat transfer
-
Liposuction
-
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
-
Brachioplasty (arm lift)
-
Brazilian butt lift (BBL)
-
Body lift
-
Vaginal rejuvenation
What is the Mommy Makeover Procedure Like?
Mommy makeover techniques include popular body and breast enhancement procedures, with the extent of treatment tailored to each patient's desired outcome. For most women, the goal is to restore their pre-pregnancy body.
You may also choose to enhance specific areas further to achieve your ideal physique. The surgery will take place in our outpatient facility under general anesthesia.
Patients will need a caregiver to accompany them home after the procedure and assist them around the house for the first few days. During your consultation with Dr. Norman Stewart, a mommy makeover expert in Atlanta, he or his team will walk you through what to expect during your personalized experience.
What Results Can I Expect?
The results of your mommy makeover will depend on the procedures you and your surgeon decide are most suitable for your body type, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle.
Women who undergo more extensive procedures, such as a body lift or tummy tuck, or those opting for additional enhancements like breast implants, may need more time to heal. In general, patients can expect a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Before-and-after results typically showcase a toned waist, firmer breasts, tighter skin, and slimmer arms or legs.

What is the Recovery Time After Surgery?
Recovery time after a mommy makeover surgery varies from patient to patient.
Generally, women can expect to take several weeks to recover, though some may return to work within 7 to 10 days. It's important to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks, including lifting more than 5 to 10 pounds or raising your arms above your head. If you have young children, you'll need to arrange for assistance at home.
Most patients begin to see results within the first month, with further improvements over the next six months. After surgery, you’ll wear compression garments and surgical dressings during the initial recovery phase. It’s common to experience pain, swelling, bruising, or redness, but pain medication can help manage discomfort. Using cold compresses and sleeping in a propped-up position can assist in reducing swelling. Your stitches and dressings will be removed within the first week, while compression garments will continue to support your healing for up to six weeks.
