Having children is a wonderful experience. However, going through pregnancy and childbirth may leave you with excess skin, a loose midsection, and a loss in breast volume. The good news is you can resolve these concerns through a safe, effective procedure known as a mommy makeover. A mommy makeover combines a tummy tuck and breast surgery for a total body lift and tightening. With a mommy makeover from board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kris Day in Bellevue, you can increase your self-confidence and feel good in your post baby body.
A mommy makeover pairs multiple surgeries into one, allowing you to achieve a slimmer, more toned appearance after you’ve had children. Some of the procedures that may be involved in a mommy makeover include a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation. Your unique aesthetic concerns and goals will determine the right combination of surgeries.
While results vary, most patients treated with a mommy makeover will often enjoy a toned figure, flatter midsection, less abdominal fat, and perkier breasts. Dr. Kris Day is happy to show you before and after pictures of our patients so you can get a realistic idea of the results.
If you’ve given birth and would like to improve your post baby body, you may benefit from a mommy makeover. This is particularly true if you’re bothered by loose skin, fat bulges, excess fat deposits, and sagging or low-hanging breasts. If these issues bother you and you would like to regain your confidence, a mommy makeover should be of interest to you.
In order to be a good candidate for a mommy makeover, you should be done having children and have given birth and stopped breastfeeding at least six months ago. It’s also important that you commit to a healthy lifestyle after the surgery and have realistic expectations about the results. Maintaining a healthy diet and a consistent exercise routine ensures that the results of your mommy makeover stick and you do not gain excessive weight following the procedure.

Pregnancy often leads to excess skin fullness in the thighs, hips, and buttocks. That’s where liposuction comes in. It can tighten and tone these areas and allow for greater confidence in the lower body area.
Depending on your chosen procedures, your mommy makeover will likely take 5-6 hours. It is performed in our accredited surgery center in Bellevue, and we follow all guidelines for patient safety. You’ll be closely monitored in your surgical suite, and our care coordinators will ensure that you fully know what to expect prior to, during, and after your mommy makeover.
The recovery process will depend on the types of procedures you undergo but typically takes several months, as it is a more intensive procedure. We encourage most of our patients to take at least two weeks off work and arrange for childcare and other help at home.
Patients are usually able to return to their everyday routine in about 4 to 6 weeks. Our Bellevue plastic surgeon Dr. Kris Day will provide you with detailed recovery instructions and schedule multiple follow-up appointments to ensure you’re healing well.

The best candidates for the mommy makeover are women who are finished having children. Once the surgeries have taken place, pregnancy will damage the skin with stretching and weight gain and warrant more procedures in the future.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery, it’s best to wait approximately six months after giving birth and breastfeeding. If you opt for the procedure sooner, the risk of complications increases.
The cost of a mommy makeover varies greatly as it depends on the types of procedures involved and your desired outcomes. At Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery, we provide you with an accurate quote during your complimentary consultation.
The procedures included in a mommy makeover are all designed to create long-lasting results. Keep in mind, however. a mommy makeover will not stop your body from naturally responding to age, weight fluctuations, and future pregnancies. This is why we recommend keeping a healthy diet and active lifestyle post-mommy makeover.
Diastasis recti is one of the most common conditions among women who have had multiple children. It occurs when the abdominal muscles are stretched beyond their typical capacity and two halves separate. A tummy tuck, which can be included in a mommy makeover, may treat diastasis recti.
