Top 5 Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover
July 8, 2025
After helping hundreds of women through post-pregnancy transformations, we’ve learned that 85% of moms feel more self-conscious about their bodies after childbirth than during pregnancy.
A mommy makeover—a combination of tailored cosmetic surgery procedures for moms—can address these changes. While pregnancy brings irreversible physical effects, it doesn’t have to permanently impact your confidence.
These customized body contouring procedures focus not just on appearance, but on helping you feel like yourself again. At our Atlanta and Fayetteville practices, we’ve seen how powerfully these treatments can restore comfort, both physically and emotionally.
1. Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): The Foundation of Most Mommy Makeovers
You know that loose skin that doesn’t budge, no matter how many planks you do? That’s where a tummy tuck makes all the difference.
Just last month, we worked with Sarah, a 34-year-old mom of twins, who’d tried everything from waist trainers to strict dieting. “I kept thinking if I just worked harder…” she told us during her consultation.
The truth? Sometimes exercise alone can’t fix separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) or stretched, sagging skin. A tummy tuck addresses both by removing excess skin and repairing the abdominal wall, restoring a tighter, smoother midsection.
For many mommy makeover Atlanta patients, this is the cornerstone procedure. Recovery takes about 2–3 weeks before you can return to your daily routine, and we always recommend setting up a cozy recovery spot ahead of surgery. Trust us—it makes a big difference.

2. Breast Enhancement for Moms: Lift, Augment, or Reshape After Pregnancy
Whether it’s volume loss, sagging, or asymmetry, breast enhancement surgery is one of the most requested components of a mommy makeover. That’s because pregnancy, breastfeeding, and hormonal changes all take their toll.
Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- A breast lift to raise and reshape sagging breasts
- Breast augmentation to restore volume and fullness
- A combination procedure for a complete transformation
- Or even a breast reduction for those seeking relief and proportion
Quick story: Last summer, I had the pleasure of working with a yoga instructor who came to us feeling deeply self-conscious after nursing her child. She wanted a breast lift to regain her confidence and feel like herself again.
Just six weeks after her procedure, she was back in the studio teaching yoga, rocking her poses, and feeling incredible. Seeing her regain her self-confidence was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
These procedures are designed with natural-looking, customized results in mind—something our Atlanta mommy makeover patients consistently appreciate.

3. Liposuction After Pregnancy: Body Contouring for Stubborn Fat
Hormonal shifts during pregnancy can permanently alter fat distribution. That’s why some areas, like the lower belly or love handles, become resistant to diet and exercise.
In such cases, modern liposuction could be an option to discuss.. Today’s power-assisted liposuction allows for greater precision, less trauma to surrounding tissues, and a smoother recovery.
At Perimeter Plastic Surgery, we commonly treat:
- Lower abdomen
- Flanks/love handles
- Inner thighs
- Back rolls
Recovery typically takes 1–2 weeks, and patients wear a compression garment for six weeks to ensure optimal results.
This is one of the most effective body contouring procedures for moms wanting to finally feel aligned with their post-baby lifestyle.
4. Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Defying Gravity with Confidence
“Will they ever look the same?” That’s probably the most common question we hear from moms about their post-pregnancy breasts.
The answer is: they can look even better.
A breast lift addresses sagging (or “ptosis,” in medical terms) by reshaping and repositioning the breast tissue. It’s a powerful tool in the cosmetic surgery for moms toolkit—especially for those looking to feel confident in swimsuits or fitted clothing again.
Hormonal changes affect tissue elasticity long after breastfeeding ends. A lift can reverse those changes and restore a more youthful contour.
One recent patient—a high school teacher and mom of three—told us, “I didn’t realize how much I’d been hiding until I didn’t have to anymore.” Three months after her breast lift, she told us she bought her first bikini in eight years.
Stories like hers are why we love what we do—helping women feel comfortable and confident in their own skin again.

5. Body Contouring: The Final Touch
Think of body contouring as the finishing touches on a masterpiece. Sometimes it’s about smoothing out minor irregularities after liposuction, while other times it’s focused on refining specific areas that need a little extra attention.
Depending on your goals, options may include:
- Non-surgical skin tightening
- Minor fat removal in localized areas
- Combination treatments for symmetry and balance
This tailored approach ensures that your new shape looks and feels as natural as possible. It’s not just about appearance—it’s about restoring ease in your movement and confidence in your body.

There’s no perfect timeline. We’ve helped moms six months postpartum and others whose children are in college. Some women see us six months after delivery; others wait until their kids are in college. What matters is that you’re doing it for yourself, when you’re ready.

These procedures aren’t about fitting into a certain mold; they’re about helping you feel like you again.
