About Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that aim to restore a woman's pre-pregnancy body shape.
Typically, it includes a tummy tuck, breast enhancement (augmentation or lift), and liposuction, tailored to address the specific concerns of each patient.
What is
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a comprehensive, custom-tailored suite of procedures designed to address the physical changes experienced post-pregnancy, helping to restore confidence and comfort in your own skin.
What is
included?
Mommy makeover includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction and vaginal rejuvenation surgery, in any combination. It’s a way to address the physical changes that come with motherhood—some choose just a few procedures, while others opt for all of them.
Breast surgery
Post-pregnancy, you will see changes in breast size, shape and volume. Restoring and enhancing them through breast surgery can include breast lift or augmentation, or a combination of both, depending on individual needs.
Tummy tuck
For some, the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy and don’t fully recover on their own. A tummy tuck can tighten these muscles while also removing excess skin, resulting in a firmer, flatter stomach.
Liposuction
Liposuction complements the tummy tuck by removing stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise alone may not overcome. It can be applied to various areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Labiaplasty
The labia lips may stretch or change shape after childbirth. Labiaplasty focuses on reshaping and resizing them to alleviate discomfort during physical activities and when wearing tight clothing, or for aesthetic reasons.
The mommy makeover
procedure
Here is what to expect from the procedure.
Consultation
During your consultation, you'll meet with a specialist surgeon to go over your aesthetic goals, medical history and available treatment options. This is your chance to ask questions and discuss any concerns. Through the Adoreal platform, you will be connected with a clinic that match your needs and get a treatment plan tailored to you.
Preparations
You may need to undergo medical tests to check your overall health, adjust medications that could affect healing, and follow specific dietary and lifestyle guidelines. This can include pausing certain supplements, avoiding smoking, and maintaining a stable weight. Following these steps properly helps reduce risks, speed up recovery, and improve the final results.
Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia will ensure you are asleep and pain-free during the surgery.
Before surgery, you will discuss your medical history to tailor the anaesthesia to your needs; an anaesthesiologist will oversee your safety throughout the procedure. Post-surgery, you may experience temporary grogginess or nausea.
Any concerns about anaesthesia should be discussed with your surgeon in advance.
Surgery
Mommy makeover surgery is carefully planned to prioritise both safety and precision. The duration depends on the combination of procedures, but most surgeries take between three to six hours. Clinics in the Adoreal network use advanced techniques to minimise swelling, reduce recovery time, and help you heal as comfortably as possible. Your surgeon will walk you through the details so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.
Recovery
You'll get clear instructions on how to care for yourself after surgery, including how to manage pain, look after your incisions, and when to start moving again.
Follow-up appointments will be arranged to check your progress and answer any questions. Recovery time depends on which procedures you’ve had, but you can always reach out to your surgeon through the Adoreal app for extra support.
Results
You’ll notice a difference in your body shape right away, but the final results will become clearer as swelling and bruising go down and discolouration fades over the next few weeks. If you’ve had a full mommy makeover, you can expect firmer, lifted breasts and a more sculpted figure. With a healthy lifestyle, the results can last for years, helping you feel more confident in your body.

Potential
risks
If you are considering a mommy makeover, your surgeon will help determine if you are a good candidate for the surgery. A mommy makeover is best suited for those who meet the following criteria:
• Infection or bleeding from tummy tuck, breast surgery or liposuction sites
• Adverse reactions to anaesthesia
• Scarring, though typically minimal and strategically placed to be less visible, and they generally fade over time
• Fluid accumulation (seroma), particularly after tummy tuck procedures, which may require drainage
• Slight differences in the symmetry of the breasts or body contouring results
• Blood clots can form, posing a significant health risk if they travel to the lungs
Make sure to discuss these thoroughly with your surgeon during the consultation process.
Candidates for
the procedure
If you are contemplating a mommy makeover, you will, together with your surgeon, consider whether you are an ideal candidate for the procedure. Suitable candidates typically share the following criteria:
• Have fully recovered from childbirth, and at least six months postpartum to allow
the body to stabilise
• No plans on going through with another pregnancy
• In good general health, with no medical conditions that could impair healing or
increase surgery risks
• Near your ideal weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the results
