The Mommy Makeover: What’s Included & Who’s a Candidate?

Motherhood changes your life in countless beautiful ways - but it can also bring lasting changes to your body that don't always respond to diet and exercise. If you've ever wondered how to restore your pre-pregnancy confidence, a Mommy Makeover might be the answer.

At Mays Plastic Surgery, we specialize in creating custom Mommy Makeovers designed for your unique goals.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover isn't a single procedure - it's a personalized combination of surgeries designed to restore areas most affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Most commonly, this includes a tummy tuck paired with a breast procedure (augmentation, lift, or reduction).

But it doesn't stop there. Virtually any body part affected by pregnancy or nursing can be included, such as the hips, thighs, or buttocks. We can even incorporate nonsurgical treatments to improve surface imperfections like stretch marks or skin laxity. The beauty of a Mommy Makeover is that it's tailored entirely to you.

Who Is a Candidate?

The best candidates are women who:

• Have finished childbearing and don't plan on future pregnancies
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle but can't achieve desired results through diet or exercise alone
• Are bothered by concerns such as sagging breasts, loose abdominal skin, or stubborn fat deposits
• Want to reclaim their pre-pregnancy body and confidence

Dr. Mays' goal is to help you feel like yourself again - strong, confident, and comfortable in your own skin.

What About Recovery?

Recovery depends on which procedures are included, but here's a general idea:

• First 1-2 weeks: Expect swelling, bruising, and the need to rest. Most patients arrange for help at home during this time.
• 2-4 weeks: You'll gradually regain energy and may return to light activities or a desk job, depending on your healing.
• 4-6 weeks: Many patients resume more normal activity, though strenuous exercise may need to wait until cleared by Dr. Mays.

You'll have several follow-up appointments, starting as soon as the day after surgery, so you're supported every step of the way.

What About Cost?

Because every Mommy Makeover is customized, the cost varies depending on your chosen procedures. After your consultation, our surgery scheduler will provide a personalized quote. We also partner with PatientFi, CareCredit, and Cherry to make financing simple and flexible - helping you move forward with confidence.
