Mommy Makeover

Comprehensive body restoration after pregnancy and childbirth

About Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body. Dr. Karan Shetty understands that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding cause significant changes to a woman's body—changes that often don't respond to diet and exercise alone. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple concerns in one surgery, helping mothers regain their confidence and feel like themselves again.

You Deserve to Feel Like Yourself Again

Motherhood is beautiful, but the physical toll is real. A Mommy Makeover isn't about vanity—it's about restoration, confidence, and self-care.

Common Procedures Included in a Mommy Makeover

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Removes excess abdominal skin, tightens separated muscles (diastasis recti), and creates a flatter, firmer stomach. The cornerstone of most Mommy Makeovers.

Breast Augmentation

Restores lost breast volume after breastfeeding using implants (silicone or saline) to achieve fuller, more youthful breasts.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Elevates and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple-areola complex for a perkier appearance.

Liposuction

Removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the flanks (love handles), thighs, arms, and back to enhance overall body contours.

Additional Options

Arm lift, thigh lift, or labiaplasty may also be included based on individual needs and goals.

The Mommy Makeover Journey

1. Consultation & Planning

Dr. Karan Shetty will discuss your concerns, assess your body, understand your goals, and create a customized surgical plan. This is also the time to ask questions and understand the recovery process.

2. Surgery Day (4-6 hours)

Multiple procedures are performed safely in one surgical session under general anesthesia. Combining surgeries reduces total anesthesia exposure and recovery time compared to staging procedures separately.

3. Recovery (2-6 weeks)

Expect 2-3 weeks off work (depending on your job), with gradual return to activities. Dr. Karan Shetty provides detailed recovery instructions, pain management, and close follow-up care. Most patients feel significantly better by week 3-4.

4. Enjoying Your Results

Initial results are visible immediately, but your body continues to heal and settle for 6-12 months. The transformation is life-changing for most mothers.

When Is the Right Time for a Mommy Makeover?

  • Wait at least 6-12 months after giving birth to allow your body to heal and stabilize.
  • You've finished breastfeeding for at least 3-6 months.
  • You're done having children (future pregnancies may affect results).
  • You're at or near your ideal weight and maintaining it for several months.
  • You're emotionally ready and have realistic expectations about the transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Mommy Makeover take?

Typically 4-6 hours depending on the combination of procedures. Surgery time varies based on your customized plan.

Is it safe to combine multiple procedures?

Yes, when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Karan Shetty. Combining procedures is standard practice and actually reduces total anesthesia exposure and recovery time compared to staging them separately.

How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?

Cost varies based on which procedures are included. During your consultation, Dr. Karan Shetty will provide a detailed, transparent quote. Financing options may be available.

Can I have more children after a Mommy Makeover?

Yes, but it's not recommended as pregnancy will likely reverse many of the results, especially the tummy tuck. It's best to complete your family before undergoing a Mommy Makeover.

How long until I can care for my children?

You'll need significant help for the first 1-2 weeks. Light lifting restrictions are in place for 4-6 weeks. Plan for family or hired help during your recovery period.
