Moms Not Models™

This is my mantra. It’s a commitment to real women: ladies with stretch marks, bulges, loose skin, and scars; with outie belly buttons and hernias; with breasts that droop or sag after pregnancy and breastfeeding; with love handles that weren’t there before—a body that gave itself to making a family. It’s your turn to take care of yourself, and I’m ready to put my best into achieving your goals. After all, when you come to my clinic, your goals are my goals. #MomsNotModels

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover in Orlando can be whatever you want it to be! Most commonly, however, a mommy makeover includes a tummy tuck with breast surgery. Breast augmentation is the most common associated procedure, but any surgery can be on your list. Since most of my tummy tucks already include liposuction, it’s safe to say that lipo will be a part of your mommy makeover. That said, I have also performed labiaplasty with mommy makeover surgery. Whatever is on your list is on my list, too. 
 
What makes a mommy makeover special is that you get curves up top and on the bottom. When a mommy makeover includes a tummy tuck with breast implants and fat transfer to the buttock (a BBL or Brazilian butt lift), there’s no more powerful surgery to shape the body.

Some Moms Feel Guilty About Having a Tummy Tuck

I know the feeling is common, but I've never seen a mom regret having a tummy tuck. Most feel like it's a game-changer for self-esteem, which benefits both parenting and relationships. Friends and family might say, "You don't need a tummy tuck." Well, just like you don't need a haircut or lashes, they sure make you feel good, right? A tummy tuck is no different.

Remember, it's okay to make time for yourself. After an abdominoplasty, moms always find a boost in confidence. Building good self-esteem is essential for overall wellness, especially when pregnancy and weight changes have taken a toll on your body. Plastic surgery is a form of self-care, and in my humble opinion, it has nothing to do with vanity.

How Soon Can I Get a Mommy Makeover?

We'd like you to be at least six months after pregnancy and breastfeeding before thinking about a mommy makeover in Orlando, and of course, at a goal weight with a BMI less than 30. If you have a newborn baby, you can still hold your baby early in recovery, as soon as a few days #postOPP. Just make sure you have extra helping hands.

Unpacking the Post-Pregnancy Bulge

That persistent bulge post-pregnancy often comes from the muscles separating, a condition known as rectus diastasis or diastasis recti. It happens as the six-pack muscles (rectus abdominis) stretch apart in the midline, making room for the growing baby. This isn't just "baby weight"—it's torn and stretched fascia, and no amount of diet or exercise will fix it. Just like stretch marks in your fascia, the muscles need a physical repair to bring them back together.

While some lucky women avoid muscle separation or loose skin, the majority experience changes in their bodies due to pregnancy. Twin moms, especially, might find themselves with muscle separation, making it seem like they "still look pregnant." It's undeniably frustrating, especially for young moms navigating these changes.

FAQ

Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?

What are the risks of a mommy makeover?

Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?

Any woman in good physical health with a stable weight is a great candidate for a mommy makeover. Everyone’s body is different, and everyone has variations in their skin elasticity. This is why some women get stretch marks and some don’t. It’s important to have realistic expectations about what your body can achieve. You should also be done with childbearing. A mommy makeover can also help to remove unsightly scars if you’ve undergone previous surgeries such as hysterectomies or c-sections.

What are the risks of a mommy makeover?

Safety first, middle, and last. Our accredited facility is a mini-hospital stocked with every medication you would find in an emergency room. I am steadfast and uncompromising when it comes to my patients’ safety. I’m always accompanied by a board-certified anesthesiologist, and I take every precaution to ensure safety is a priority. By never cutting corners, I can minimize the risks of surgery as much as possible. I am proud to do the right thing and provide the best for my patients.

Top 10 Reasons for a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover will improve how you feel and look in a number of ways. Here are the top reasons:

  1. Breast lift: A breast lift means perkier breasts for better support and a younger-looking bust.
  2. Eliminate pregnancy issues: You can get rid of excess skin, loss of elasticity, and stretch marks, among other issues.
  3. Firm abdomen: A firmer stomach will give you a new contour for your body.
  4. Fit better in your clothes: After a mommy makeover, you will probably have to go shopping!
  5. Great results: You will get great results no matter which procedure you get done, with most of them permanent.
  6. More than one procedure: You can have more than one procedure done at the same time.
  7. No more loose stomach skin: A tummy tuck can remove extra skin and tighten abdominal muscles.
  8. Self-esteem: Your self-confidence will benefit you at work and at home.
  9. You and your family: A mommy makeover is not only a positive change for you but also for your family.
  10. Reclaim your body: Feel and look young again!

Recovery Timeline

The closest comparison to a tummy tuck is a C-section. If you’ve had a C-section, you’re already a pro at having a mommy makeover; you just don’t know it yet. The scar from a C-section is about the same as a scar from a tummy tuck in a mommy makeover: very low, hidden within any bikini line, just a bit longer. I would actually say that a tummy tuck scar is about three C-section scars in length—just as low and just as thin.
 
Recovery from a mommy makeover is not really any different from that of a tummy tuck. We talk about the “rule of 2’s” for mommy makeover recovery: two days of downtime as a patient, two weeks off work, and two months until you’re back to full strength at the gym. You can start gently working out around one month after surgery. 

Your recovery time will depend on which specific procedures you decide to have. A good rule is to plan on 14 days of being “off duty” at home and at work. During this time, you should find a recliner and take some time to relax and be off your feet. For once!

Your Mommy Makeover Recovery

The same rules apply with our tummy tucks and our mommy makeovers: all patients stay overnight at our facility so we can give you the best care possible. I make sure to be very involved with all aspects of your recovery because a good recovery is as important as your procedure. My nurse and I provide post-op garments, bras, recovery ointments, and scar gels to improve your results. These are all included in the cost of your surgery.
 
During your recovery, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Silicone adhesive is applied to the tummy tuck incision and will stay on for three weeks.
  • Gauze and bandages are applied to your belly button and incisions.
  • A support bra and a compression garment will be provided to minimize swelling.
  • Get plenty of rest.
  • Stay very hydrated.
  • Flex your quads and calves to keep blood circulating.
  • Avoid strenuous activities for at least one month.
  • Expect some tenderness in the treatment areas.
  • Medication will be prescribed for pain relief.
  • Moisturizers can be applied if your skin is dry, and ointment to the belly button area.

We have a nurse available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for any questions or concerns during your healing process. It is our goal to make your recovery as comfortable as possible, so please do not hesitate to contact us for any reason.

Giving Moms Back Their Pre-Pregnancy Tummies

When it comes to mommy makeovers, the focal point often revolves around the tummy—your canvas for transformation. At the core, every makeover involves a tummy tuck consisting of two essential components: the removal of excess skin and the corset-like tightening of abdominal muscles. While these basics align with most tummy tucks, my mommy makeovers stand out with THREE KEY ELEMENTS: a discreet LOW scar, a CUTE belly button, and the accentuation of CURVES. Despite the potential length of the scar (typically hip to hip), its low placement ensures it remains your little secret, cleverly concealed beneath the bikini line. No need to ponder tattoos or high-waisted shorts—keep it effortlessly low (even lower than a C-section scar!) for ultimate discretion.
