Schedule a Consultation

Overview

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore a woman's pre-pregnancy body. The typical combination includes a tummy tuck, breast surgery (lift, augmentation, or both), and liposuction — all performed in a single surgical session. Dr. Kieu coordinates these procedures to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation with a single recovery period.

Who This Is For

  • Women who have completed their family and are done having children
  • Mothers with persistent abdominal laxity, separated muscles, or excess skin
  • Those with post-pregnancy breast volume loss or sagging
  • Women with stubborn fat deposits that didn't respond to postpartum exercise

Who This Is Not For

  • Women who are still planning future pregnancies
  • Patients who are currently breastfeeding
  • Those who have not reached a stable, healthy weight
  • Individuals with medical conditions that make extended surgery risky

The Process

1

Comprehensive Consultation: Dr. Kieu evaluates your abdomen, breasts, and body contour, discussing your concerns and goals. A combined surgical plan is tailored specifically to your post-pregnancy anatomy.

2

Surgical Planning: Procedures are selected and sequenced to achieve optimal results with a single anesthetic session. The plan typically combines a tummy tuck with breast enhancement and targeted liposuction.

3

Combined Surgery: Performed under general anesthesia, the mommy makeover typically takes 4-6 hours. Procedures are sequenced for efficiency — often liposuction first, then tummy tuck, then breast surgery.

4

Unified Recovery: While recovery involves multiple procedures, the single recovery period means you heal from everything at once. Most return to desk work within 2-3 weeks and full activity by 8 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Kieu recommends waiting at least 6 months after childbirth and 3 months after stopping breastfeeding to allow your body to stabilize and tissues to heal naturally.
What is typically included in a mommy makeover?
The most common combination is a tummy tuck (often with muscle repair) and breast surgery (lift, augmentation, or both), frequently with liposuction of the flanks or thighs.
How long is recovery for a mommy makeover?
The combined recovery is typically 2-3 weeks before returning to desk work, with activity restrictions gradually lifted over 6-8 weeks. Having help at home with childcare is essential during the first two weeks.
