Do you want a slimmer midsection with more muscle tone? Do you want to improve the shape of your breasts? Would you like to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat? A mommy makeover can make these and other body contour transformations. It can also include facial rejuvenation and other anti-aging measures.
A mommy makeover restores your youthful contours and appearance after pregnancy or significant weight gain and loss. It is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures that flatten and firm the abdomen, restore a youthful form to the breasts, and reverse other signs of the aging process.
Dr. Anthony Wilson is a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in the full range of procedures that can be part of a mommy makeover. He customizes every cosmetic procedure to the patient’s body type and preferences and takes the time to deliver compassionate, personalized service.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of plastic surgery procedures that slim, tighten, and lift different parts of a woman’s body to restore youthful contours and appearance after pregnancy and breastfeeding. The choice of procedures is up to you, and you’ll make those decisions with the help of Dr. Wilson in a personalized consultation.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
If you are uncomfortable with the appearance of your body after having children or gaining and losing a significant amount of weight, you’re probably a good candidate for a mommy makeover. Dr. Wilson can customize the combination of procedures to address your specific needs.
The ideal candidate for a mommy makeover is in good health and at a stable weight at least six months after childbirth or weaning from breastfeeding. You should also be a non-smoker.
It’s best to get a mommy makeover after you are no longer planning to have any more children, as pregnancy can stretch and weaken the muscles in your abdomen, change the size and shape of your breasts, and cause your skin to stretch. If you do expect to have more children after your procedure, bring that up in your consultation with Dr. Wilson.
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Leah T.
I went to Dr. Wilson after being told by so many of my clients how amazing he is at what he does. I got a breast Aug in January and the process was smooth, enjoyable and overall incredible. His office staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and sweet! I love them all. I am beyond thrilled with my results!
Gale P.
Dr. Wilson called me personally after the surgery to see how I was doing! Who does that today? Anytime I needed to speak to someone in his office they called me back within minutes! His surgical skills are meticulous and he is a perfectionist! I couldn’t be happier.
Brandi A.
They never make you feel like an inconvenience for reaching out and encourage questions. I’ve received a lot of great advice and tips at each post op appointment. The office is calm, inviting and clean. I would recommend this practice over and over again.
The Mommy Makeover Procedure
What occurs during the mommy makeover procedure depends on your customized treatment plan. A mommy makeover typically includes the following.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to tighten and strengthen abdominal muscles and remove excess belly skin to restore a flat, firm midsection. A tummy tuck not only gives you a sleeker profile, it can also improve your posture by reinforcing the muscles of your core. A mini tummy tuck is a version of the procedure that focuses only on the lower abdomen, below the navel.
Breast Reshaping
A breast lift will raise sagging breasts and reshape them, and is often combined with breast augmentation or reduction, depending on your needs.
Liposuction
Liposuction is used to remove pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction can extract excess fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, and other parts of the body.
Facial Rejuvenation
Whether with the use of Botox® injections, dermal fillers, a facelift, eyelid surgery, or nonsurgical treatments like FaceTite® or Morpheus8®, we can also help you put your best face forward as part of your mommy makeover.

MEET DR. WILSONRecovery
Your mommy makeover recovery will depend on the combination of procedures that you have. But the great thing about combining these treatments is that you do all your healing at once without having to go back for a second procedure and needing another stretch of downtime.
You will need to take at least one to two weeks off from your normal activities after your surgery. You’ll also want to plan to have someone help you around your home for the first few days, as you won’t be able to bend or lift anything heavier than five pounds. You’ll need help with shopping, preparing meals, and caring for children. You should be able to go back to work after a week or two.
After four to six weeks, you’ll be able to start getting back to more physical movement, beginning with lighter exercise and careful bending and lifting. You can then gradually build up to your normal level of activity.
Most patients have fully recovered by about two months after the surgery, and you’ll see the full results of your mommy makeover after three or four months, once residual swelling has disappeared.
