Before and After Mommy Makeover: See the Transformation BEFORE & AFTERS
This is a 28 y.o. female from Riverside, CA, who was very overweight after having children. She had undergone gastric bypass surgery for weight loss. She had lost nearly 100lbs after the surgery. Now she consulted with Dr. Svehlak to address problem areas of her body. She wanted improvement of loose skin of her body and abdominal wall, and improvement of her saggy breasts.
Dr. Svehlak performed multiple surgeries in this Mommy Makeover transformation. She first had an aggressive muscle tightening abdominoplasty with a breast lift, and body contouring with liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks (355cc to each buttock). Several months later she had additional surgeries of brachioplasty to address the loose skin of her upper arms, placement of saline breast implants, a medial thigh lift, and further liposuction and contouring. After nearly 1 1/2 years later she had a very nice body transformation which she was very happy with.

After 1 Year
After having one child and then suffering several miscarriages over the next few years my body was shot. I had a worn-out tummy that always looked sort of pregnant because it actually had been for so long. I loved my child, but I hated it when people asked me when I was due with my next one. It was embarrassing and extremely depressing. I had tried very hard to have another baby and I felt like people were either judging me for not having one or excitedly misinformed because of the way my tummy still protruded through clothes. I was diligent with dieting and exercising but perhaps because I was in my early 40’s my body was just not coming back.
I decided that I needed professional help to get to where I wanted to be. My self-esteem was low and I felt defeated. A Mommy Makeover at Sunset Plastic Surgery was the right choice for me. I had a tummy tuck & liposculpting around my midsection and legs. The recovery wasn’t easy but it was worth it. My doctor prepared me with what to expect so I worked through it and in about 6 weeks I was bikini shopping in Hawaii with my family. It was a lovely vacation and not one person asked me if I was pregnant. 😉
Because every woman is different, what a mommy makeover includes depends on your anatomy, goals, and whether you wish to restore breast volume, tighten the abdomen, improve body contours, or address several concerns during one surgery.
A Mommy Makeover is a highly individualized cosmetic surgery package tailored to meet your specific post-pregnancy body restoration needs. Drs. Yamini and Svehlak will collaborate closely with you to design a customized surgery plan that addresses your goals and unique case. Popular combinations at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery may include:
Liposuction + Breast Augmentation: This pairing addresses both stubborn fat deposits and enhances breast size and shape, either through the use of implants or fat transfer.
Tummy Tuck + Breast Lift: This is often the recommended combination for those looking to restore a flatter, firmer abdominal area and reposition sagging breasts.
Mini-Tummy Tuck + Breast Augmentation: Ideal for individuals with specific concerns below the navel, this mini tummy tuck focuses on lower abdominal improvement while enhancing breast volume.
Liposuction + Mini-Tummy Tuck: This combination provides precise body contouring while also addressing loose tissue and muscles in the lower abdomen.
Brazilian Butt Lift + Breast Lift: Combining fat transfer to the buttocks for a rounder shape with a breast lift for youthful positioning and natural form.
Mommy Makeover Tummy Tuck in Beverly Hills
For many women, a tummy tuck is the cornerstone of a mommy makeover because it addresses changes that exercise alone cannot correct. Pregnancy can stretch the abdominal muscles (a condition known as diastasis recti), leaving a persistent bulge even after weight loss.
A tummy tuck repairs these separated muscles while removing excess skin to create a flatter, firmer abdomen. Depending on your needs, Dr. Yamini or Dr. Svehlak may recommend a mini tummy tuck for concerns below the navel or a full tummy tuck for more extensive correction. A mommy makeover tummy tuck in Beverly Hills restores abdominal strength, improves body contours, and complements the other procedures included in your personalized treatment plan.
Preparing for a mommy makeover involves planning for your procedure, recovery, and return to daily activities. Before surgery, your surgeon will provide personalized instructions, which may include adjusting medications, arranging support at home, preparing comfortable recovery items, and organizing time away from work and responsibilities.
On the day of surgery, your procedures will be performed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety. Depending on your goals, your mommy makeover may combine procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast surgery, liposuction, or other treatments. Our surgeons may also recommend treatments such as Renuvion J Plasma to help improve skin firmness and tightening when appropriate.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
Recovery time varies based on the procedures performed. Most patients should plan for rest, limited activity, and assistance during the early healing period. As swelling decreases and healing progresses, many patients gradually return to exercise, work, and social activities. Why Choose Sunset Cosmetic Surgery for Your Mommy?

“Having a Mommy Makeover with you made a huge difference to my life. My new curves not only enhanced my looks but also my overall confidence” – Susan G.
Practically any healthy woman at a managed weight can consider a Mommy Makeover. We recommend completing your childbearing journey and waiting at least six months after childbirth or breastfeeding. Also, having realistic expectations is essential; while the procedure can produce remarkable results, perfection isn’t the goal. Emotional readiness is crucial as it’s both a physical and emotional transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Mommy Makeover take?
The duration of your surgery is a critical aspect to consider when planning your procedure. It depends on the specific combination of procedures you select, as well as the complexity of each individual surgery. Generally, the surgical time can vary from a few hours to several hours.
How long is the Mommy Makeover recovery time?
The recovery time can vary depending on the specific combination of procedures you choose and your individual healing process. In general, expect a recovery period of several weeks to a few months.
How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?
The cost of a Mommy Makeover can also vary significantly based on several factors, including the location of the surgical facility, the expertise of the plastic surgeon, the specific procedures included in the makeover, and any additional costs such as anesthesia and operating room fees. On average, it can range from several thousand to several tens of thousands of dollars. Get in touch with our office to discuss surgical costs and financing options.
Will I have scars after a mommy makeover?
The procedures typically involve some degree of scarring because they require surgical incisions. Your surgeon carefully places incisions to minimize visibility whenever possible, and scars usually fade and soften over time. Proper aftercare and following recovery instructions can help support optimal healing.
Can I breastfeed after a mommy makeover?
Many women are able to breastfeed after certain mommy makeover procedures, but this depends on the specific breast surgery performed and individual factors. If you are planning future pregnancies or breastfeeding, discuss your goals with your surgeon during your consultation so your treatment plan can be tailored accordingly.
When can I exercise after a mommy makeover?
Light movement, such as short walks, is usually encouraged early in recovery to support circulation and healing. More strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and abdominal workouts typically need to wait until your surgeon confirms that your body has healed sufficiently. Most patients gradually return to exercise over several weeks.
