Plastic surgery after childbirth
Mommy Makeover
The Mommy Makeover is a set of surgical procedures that address the physical changes that occur in a woman’s body after pregnancy. It is designed to restore self-esteem, promoting the recovery of the pre-pregnancy body or something close to it.
The procedure is usually recommended one or two years after giving birth, allowing the mother to fully recover and the child to become less dependent. Breast augmentation, in particular, is often postponed for this reason.
Common Mommy Makeover procedures:
- Liposuction
- Abdominoplasty
- Mammoplasty (silicone)
- Breast reduction

The recovery period can take two to three weeks. Care includes rest in the first few weeks, restrictions on physical activity and careful assessment of the need to separate mothers and newborns, especially if breastfeeding is an important factor.
The duration of the procedure can vary, but generally, the Mommy Makeover is performed in a single operation, combining breast, abdominal and liposuction interventions.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved. These can include swelling, bruising, infection and reactions to anesthesia. It is essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon during the consultation.
Mastopexy can alter breast sensitivity, but many women manage to breastfeed successfully after the procedure. It is important to discuss your concerns about breastfeeding with your surgeon.
While other cosmetic surgeries may focus on specific areas, the Mommy Makeover simultaneously addresses post-pregnancy changes in multiple areas of the body, providing a more comprehensive approach.
Research the surgeon’s experience in post-pregnancy surgeries, check their credentials, ask for references, and schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and clear up any doubts before making a decision.
Yes, it is safe to perform several procedures simultaneously, offering advantages such as a single anesthesia, a combined recovery period and reduced costs. However, safety is guaranteed by limiting surgery to up to 6 hours.
Yes, the results are long-lasting. However, maintaining the results depends on post-operative care and the patient’s lifestyle. Following healthy habits contributes to the long-term sustainability of the benefits.
The possibility of getting pregnant again after the Mommy Makeover should be discussed with the plastic surgeon during the consultation. Although it is possible, it is important to consider that a new pregnancy could affect the results achieved.
The scars generally diminish over time, but do not disappear completely. The progression of healing varies from person to person. The plastic surgeon will provide guidance on proper care to minimize scarring.
The need for drains will be assessed individually for each patient, depending on the procedure performed. The surgeon will determine whether the use of drains is necessary to optimize post-operative recovery.
Possible risks in the Mommy Makeover
PLASTIC SURGERY, like any other surgery, has risks and complications, some of which are specific to it and others that are generic to any type of surgery. These include:
Generic
1. Allergies: Some medications or products used during surgery can cause allergic reactions, which can even lead to death. Allergic reactions are patient-dependent and can occur either to medicines or products that the patient has never had contact with, or to those that they have had previous contact with, even if they didn’t have a previous reaction.
2. Infection: Our body is colonized by countless bacteria, with which, at first, we live in extreme harmony. However, after surgery, they can cause infection, requiring treatment with antibiotics and rarely re-operation.
3. Hematoma: Accumulation of blood in the operated area, from a vessel that was not bleeding at the end of the operation, but did so in the immediate post-operative period. It can be treated by aspiration with a syringe and needle or, rarely, re-operation may be necessary.
