Dr. Chet Mays regularly consults with women who desire to get their pre-pregnancy figure back. Even though childbirth is an amazing and miraculous moment for many women, it often will alter the look, shape, and size of certain body parts — and could leave one feeling a little frustrated. The great news is that it's achievable to reclaim a tighter, slimmer figure with the help of the mommy makeover procedure performed at Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa. This surgery uses a combination of liposuction and skin removal to target the abdomen and breasts and other affected body parts — virtually any body part affected by nursing, weight gain or loss, etc. can be addressed. Furthermore, nonsurgical remedies can be incorporated to repair surface imperfections, such as skin problems or stretch marks, from the quick stretching and fluctuation of the tissue and skin during pregnancy.
What are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy and childbirth affect the body in many ways, leaving many women feeling uncomfortable in their own skin. A mommy makeover can address all these changes at the same time, allowing a woman to regain her pre-pregnancy figure in one procedure. Surgery can also provide the confidence boost that many women need in order to feel confident in personal and professional situations alike. Studies have shown that after a mommy makeover, many women experience improved mental health, greater energy levels, and better overall quality of life.
Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?
The right candidates for body contouring and mommy makeovers are women who have gone through childbearing and have worked to attain a slimmer, tighter figure through a consistent healthy lifestyle with little result. In many cases, surgery is needed to attain their pre-pregnancy shape. If you are past childbearing but you are dissatisfied with the side effects remaining on your body, such as sagging breasts, wrinkled skin in the abdominal area, or unwanted fat in the hips, thighs, and buttocks, a mommy makeover procedure could be perfect for you. The goal of Dr. Mays is to help you reclaim your pre-pregnancy body so you can resume life without feeling self-conscious.
What does a Mommy Makeover Involve?
A mommy makeover is a unique surgery tailored for patients by plastic surgeon Dr. Mays based on the specific body areas to be addressed. Many procedures can be paired together — the most common treatments are liposuction of the flanks and lower back, as well as breast lift surgery, breast implants, and tummy tuck surgery. These surgeries are performed using general anesthesia, taking 3 – 6 hours, depending on the complexity. It is common to also incorporate nonsurgical methods, such as laser treatments and injectables, to smooth lines and diminish surface imperfections. The use of lymphatic massage by a trained therapist can improve the swelling in the initial post-operative course
Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
My experience with Dr. Mays has only been the best. He has changed my life completely after surpassing my expectations of my mommy makeover. I get asked constantly who did my surgery & I am proud to say Dr. Mays did it! I have never been happier.
Dr. Mays did my Mommy Makeover. I wasn’t an easy case. I have Crohn’s disease and an emergency surgery left a horrible scar down the middle of my abdomen and muscles put back together unevenly. Add in four pregnancies, it was hard to look at. Dr. Mays made me feel secure and safe. I knew I was in the absolute best hands. My surgery went perfect. I had a muscle repair, tummy tuck, and breast lift. I am so happy with my results. His work was flawless. The staff was so supportive and helped with the entire process. Anytime I had a question Dr. Mays himself was happy to respond and help with anything. I have sent/referred all of my friends and family to Mays Plastic Surgery. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. His work is truly amazing.
I am two weeks post op from a mommy makeover and I cannot say enough about Dr. Mays and his staff. I'd go back to him a million times over. The nurses are so amazing and the lymphatic massage with Sherri .... the best, most relaxing experience!!! They always make me feel so comfortable.
Best plastic surgeon, hands down! I am currently 4 weeks post-op from a Mommy Makeover and could not be happier with my results. I had been wanting to do this for years. I started by researching MDs in our area, and Dr. Mays’ results speak for themselves—just look at his before and after photos. As an RN myself, I am always extra mindful of the care I receive, and MPS is the best in the business! Sarah handled all the scheduling, costs, and financing options. She is quick to respond and was incredibly helpful in navigating the financial process. Dillrie, MA, was also great to work with. She assisted with the FMLA paperwork and coordinated with my employer to ensure I had the necessary time off. I also saw Dillrie for my complimentary IV hydration, which was life-changing post-op and boosted my energy immensely. Stacie, RN, made sure I was fully informed about everything I needed to know pre-operatively, and thanks to her, I felt completely prepared before my surgery. Lawanda, RN, was an amazing clinic nurse. Her calm and caring demeanor really put me at ease during my first post-op visit. Sherie provided the best lymphatic massage, and the Med Spa is absolutely gorgeous—I could have stayed there all day! I’m excited to go back and use all my Ava Rewards, which are an added bonus. After surgery, you collect rewards that can be redeemed for facials, massages, neurotoxins, fillers, and more. I also want to highlight my favorite staff member, Nicole, RN. She was my pre-op and PACU nurse, and her wealth of knowledge in every aspect of plastic surgery is truly impressive. She made both my husband and me feel calm and comfortable on the morning of the surgery and immediately afterward. Nicole also provided my husband with easy-to-follow instructions, making him the best caregiver at home. Dr. Mays is truly an artist. His bedside manner is unmatched, and his state-of-the-art facility, located in St. Matthews, is brand new. He will be my plastic surgeon for life. I highly recommend Mays Plastic Surgery! If you’ve been on the fence about anything related to plastic surgery, make your appointment now. Get a consult and explore your options—you won’t regret it.
Dr Mays and his staff are truly one of a kind and flat out AMAZING! The minute I had my first consult with him I knew I didn't need to look any further. I am 8 months post-op from lipo, breast reduction and tummy tuck. Unfortunately, I had a little setback from a large seroma several months ago that caused some elasticity problems. Dr Mays was confident my revision two weeks ago would yield the results I wanted. He was not wrong! I could not be more happy with my new look. Thank you for everything!

What Can I Expect After A Mommy Makeover?
Once leaving the hospital, you will begin your recovery at home with rest and proper aftercare. This phase is generally a gradual process. Walking will be difficult the first few days, and a thorough, at-home healing protocol will be required to make sure the incisions heal properly. The majority of women find the healing process can last around six months. Even while the primary recovery could take months, most patients are able to return to a normal routine within a couple of weeks. Exercise should be held off for about two months. In the end, this surgery at Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa can be life changing for women, creating a newfound love for their new shape once again.
