Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy leaves its mark in ways that diet and exercise cannot fully undo. The Mommy Makeover addresses the abdomen, the breasts, and the overall silhouette in a single surgery, with a single recovery. Every plan is built around your anatomy, your goals, and your timeline.
What to expect with your mommy makeover.
Pregnancy and motherhood change the body in ways that diet and exercise cannot fully address. Abdominal muscles separate. Skin stretches. Breast tissue shifts. These are natural changes, and for many women, surgery is simply the most effective way to address them. If you have decided you want your body back, a Mommy Makeover is how we do that in a single surgery with a single recovery.
At Deigni Plastic Surgery, a Mommy Makeover is built around your anatomy, not a fixed menu. The foundation is almost always the drainless tummy tuck, because the abdomen is where pregnancy leaves the most significant changes. I repair the separated abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, and address the mons pubis area at the same time. No drains. Faster recovery.
Breast procedures are selected based on what your body needs. Most patients need a breast lift to restore position and shape. Some need augmentation to restore volume. Some need both. We determine this together during your consultation, looking at your anatomy and your goals, not a standard package.
Liposuction targeting the flanks, hips, and lower back is commonly included to create a cohesive result across the full silhouette. The goal is not to remove the most possible fat. The goal is a result that looks like you, refined.
Timing: when to have the surgery
The right time is when you are done having children and your weight has been stable for several months. I recommend waiting at least 6 months after your last delivery, and longer if you are breastfeeding. A future pregnancy after a Mommy Makeover will change the results. That is not a reason to wait indefinitely if you have completed your family, but it is worth being honest about your plans.
Recovery timeline
- Week 1The most demanding period. You will need someone available for childcare and household support. That is not optional.
- Week 2Most patients can return to non-physical work.
- 6 weeksExercise, including core work, is cleared.
- 3 monthsThe shape is settled and the scars, placed in discreet locations, are well on their way to fading.

Post-Weight Loss Surgery
You did the hard work. The weight is gone. But loose skin can stay behind no matter how far you go. Surgery is how we address what diet and exercise cannot.
Liposuction
Some areas of fat do not respond to diet and exercise no matter how consistent you are. Liposuction removes those pockets precisely, and the result is a beautifully refined contour that looks like you.
