What Is Included in a Mommy Makeover? Common Procedure Combinations

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can affect several areas of your body at the same time. You may notice loose abdominal skin, weakened abdominal muscles, stubborn fat, breast volume loss, or breast tissue sagging even after you return to a stable weight. If you want to address more than one of these concerns, you may wonder what a Mommy Makeover includes and which surgical procedures you can combine.

At Dr. G Plastic Surgery in El Paso, TX, Dr. Marco Gonzalez customizes every Mommy Makeover around your anatomy, concerns, health, and desired results. Rather than following one standard combination, he may include breast surgery, abdominal contouring, liposuction, or other body procedures based on what you want to address.

What Is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover combines cosmetic procedures that address multiple areas of your body affected by pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related weight changes. These procedures commonly focus on the breasts and abdomen because pregnancy often changes these areas most significantly.

Common Mommy Makeover procedures include:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Breast lift with augmentation
• Tummy tuck
• Liposuction
• Labiaplasty
• Arm lift
• Body lift or other contouring procedures

You do not need every procedure on this list. During your consultation, Dr. Gonzalez will discuss your medical history, areas of concern, and aesthetic goals before creating a treatment plan tailored to you.

Breast Lift With Breast Augmentation

A breast lift with augmentation is one of the most common breast procedure combinations in a Mommy Makeover. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect both breast volume and breast position, which means one procedure may not address every concern.

A breast lift tightens the breast skin and reshapes the breasts to create a firmer, more elevated position. Dr. Gonzalez may also add silicone or saline implants when you want to increase or restore breast volume.

Breast augmentation restores breast size, shape, volume, and symmetry. Dr. Gonzalez specifically offers the procedure to patients who want to restore volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging.

Combining a lift with augmentation may make sense when you want to address both:

• Sagging or drooping breasts
• Loss of upper breast fullness
• Reduced breast volume
• Changes in breast shape
• Breast asymmetry

If you still have adequate breast volume but primarily want to improve sagging, Dr. Gonzalez may recommend a breast lift without implants. If your main concern involves lost volume without significant sagging, breast augmentation alone may better match your goals.

Tummy Tuck With Liposuction

Abdomen changes often involve more than one type of tissue. Pregnancy may leave you with loose skin or separated abdominal muscles, while stubborn fat deposits can remain around the abdomen, waist, flanks, or nearby areas.

A tummy tuck addresses loose abdominal skin, excess fat, and separated or weakened abdominal muscles. The specific technique that fits your surgical plan depends on how much correction your abdomen needs. Liposuction targets localized pockets of fat that remain despite diet and exercise. Dr. Gonzalez performs liposuction on areas including the abdomen, thighs, flanks, buttocks, arms, back, and other regions.

When appropriate, Dr. Gonzalez can combine liposuction with a tummy tuck to address both excess abdominal skin and stubborn fat. A lipo-abdominoplasty procedure removes additional pockets of fat around the midsection.

Breast Surgery With a Tummy Tuck

Another common Mommy Makeover combination addresses both the breasts and abdomen. This approach can make sense when pregnancy has caused breast changes along with loose abdominal skin, weakened muscles, or stubborn fat.

Depending on your concerns, Dr. Gonzalez may combine a tummy tuck with:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Breast lift with augmentation

This combination allows your surgical plan to address multiple areas that pregnancy and breastfeeding have changed. However, your anatomy and health ultimately determine which procedures Dr. Gonzalez can safely combine.

For some patients, adding liposuction can further refine stubborn fat in specific areas. This creates a highly individualized Mommy Makeover rather than a fixed package of multiple procedures.

What Other Procedures Can a Mommy Makeover Include?

A Mommy Makeover does not have to stop with breast and abdominal surgery.

Labiaplasty

Childbirth and aging can change the size, shape, or symmetry of the labia. Labiaplasty reduces and reshapes the labia and may also address discomfort associated with enlarged or asymmetrical tissue.

Arm Lift

An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms and reshapes the supporting tissues. Dr. Gonzalez may consider this procedure when loose upper-arm skin forms part of your broader body-contouring goals.

Body Lift

For patients with more extensive loose skin, Dr. Gonzalez also offers body lift surgery. His body lift approach may include procedures such as a tummy tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift, depending on the areas that need treatment.

These procedures do not automatically belong in every Mommy Makeover. Dr. Gonzalez uses your consultation to determine which combination aligns with your needs and whether combining surgeries is appropriate for you.

Can All Mommy Makeover Procedures Be Combined Into One Surgery?

Patients may complete a Mommy Makeover during one surgical session or divide the procedures into stages. Your health, the number of procedures, and the extent of surgery all influence that decision.

Combining procedures may offer benefits such as a consolidated recovery period, lower surgical fees in some cases, and comprehensive treatment of several areas. However, Dr. Gonzalez may recommend staging your procedures when that approach better supports your safety and recovery.

This flexibility makes your consultation especially important. Instead of deciding on a combination based only on what another patient received, you and Dr. Gonzalez can build a plan around your specific body and goals.

Mommy Makeover Procedure FAQs

Can I choose which procedures are included in my Mommy Makeover?

Yes, your concerns and goals help guide your treatment plan. Dr. Gonzalez will also evaluate your health and anatomy to determine which procedures make sense and which surgeries he can safely combine.

Do I need breast implants with a Mommy Makeover?

No. Some patients choose breast augmentation, while others need only a breast lift. Dr. Gonzalez may recommend combining the two when you want to address both lost volume and sagging skin.

Can I combine a tummy tuck and liposuction?

Yes, Dr. Gonzalez may combine tummy tuck surgery with liposuction when you want to address loose abdominal skin along with additional pockets of fat around the midsection.

Is every Mommy Makeover completed in one surgery?

No. Dr. Gonzalez may perform your procedures during one surgical session or stage them over time. The extent of surgery, number of procedures, and your overall health help determine the appropriate approach.

What is the most common Mommy Makeover combination?

Breast surgery, tummy tuck surgery, and liposuction are among the typically performed components of a Mommy Makeover. Your ideal combination depends on the specific changes you want to address, not a predetermined package.
