Body procedures
Restore your contours and feel at home in your body again.
A mommy makeover combines procedures according to your individual goals following pregnancy and motherhood.
The procedure, considered
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of procedures designed to address changes in the breasts, abdomen, waist, or legs after pregnancy and childbirth. It is not a standard package and it is not a substitute for weight loss—the sequence is designed around the individual.
Your consultation
Dr. Nakamura reviews your medical and surgical history, listens to what has changed, and identifies which combination will create the most harmonious result without losing sight of safety or recovery.
The procedure
Incisions and techniques depend on the selected procedures. Breast incisions may be placed at the fold or around the areola; tummy-tuck incisions are positioned low across the abdomen; liposuction uses very small access points. Each element is planned to support the whole silhouette.
Recovery
Bandages and compression garments protect the treated areas during early healing. Swelling and soreness are expected, and reliable help at home is essential. Follow-up usually begins around one week, with activity advancing in stages.
Procedure details and recovery timelines are general guidance. Your surgical plan and postoperative instructions will be individualized by your care team.
Mommy Makeover FAQs
General information to support a more informed consultation. Your recommendations and recovery guidance will always be personalized.
A mommy makeover is individualized and may combine breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction according to the areas you want to address and the procedures appropriate for you.
Because every surgical plan is different, recovery varies. The current practice guidance notes that many patients need about ten days before light duties and approximately six weeks before strenuous activity, subject to their surgeon’s instructions.
Preparation is personalized to your procedure and health history. The care team provides specific instructions about eating and drinking before anesthesia, medications, transportation, and recovery support.
Like any surgery, a mommy makeover carries risks such as bleeding, infection, and anesthesia complications. Your candidacy, procedure combination, benefits, risks, and recovery are reviewed during consultation.
