What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover isn't a single procedure—it's a personalized combination of surgeries designed to restore and rejuvenate areas most affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Common targets include the breasts, abdomen, and other areas prone to excess fat or stretched skin. By addressing multiple concerns in one surgical plan, patients can achieve more harmonious, head-to-toe results with a single recovery period.

At pēkomd®, we believe in a customized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all formula. We'll work with you to identify which procedures make the most sense for your body and lifestyle, taking into account factors like your anatomy, health history, and the level of correction you desire. This ensures that your mommy makeover journey feels not only transformative but also aligned with who you are.

Procedures Typically Included in a Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover may involve multiple treatments, depending on your personal goals and anatomy. Here are a few common options:

Breast Lift or Augmentation

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to sagging or lost volume in the breasts. A lift repositions the breast tissue and nipple-areolar complex for a perkier contour, while implants restore fullness if you've lost significant volume.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

The abdominal skin and muscles often stretch beyond what diet and exercise can correct. A tummy tuck tightens underlying muscles and removes excess skin, helping you regain a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Liposuction

Even with a healthy lifestyle, certain pockets of fat may linger post-pregnancy. Liposuction can smooth these stubborn areas—commonly the hips, thighs, or flanks—creating a more sculpted overall shape.

Breast Reduction

Some women experience enlarged breasts after pregnancy or breastfeeding. A breast reduction alleviates discomfort by removing excess tissue and shaping the breasts proportionately.

Other Procedures

Depending on your concerns, we may also discuss labiaplasty or other cosmetic treatments. Our goal is always to create a balanced approach that addresses your distinct needs.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

Thank You for saving my life!!

Dr. Fourman and his whole team have always made me feel not judged and welcomed. They are helpful, knowledgeable, informative and take time to discuss my health. There are few physicians that don’t make patients feel comfortable and Dr. Fourman is not one. So thankful I chose him as my bariatric doctor!! Thank You for saving my life!!

Make you feel like your best self.

Every experience I’ve had at pēkomd® has been amazing. The staff and providers truly take the time to make you feel like your best self. Dr. Koltz takes the time to get to know his patients and listens to their needs, concerns and dreams. I would absolutely recommend giving them a call and taking the steps to feeling the best version of yourself!

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure. The follow-up care has been excellent as well, and I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend!!

Recovering After Your Mommy Makeover

Recovery timelines differ based on the specific surgeries you undergo and your body's natural healing process. Initially, expect swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort. We'll prescribe pain medications or recommend over-the-counter solutions to manage discomfort, and compression garments are often advised to support treated areas. Most patients can return to light daily tasks within two weeks, though you should avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks. We'll schedule follow-up visits to track your progress, address any concerns, and guide you on when it's safe to gradually reintroduce more vigorous activities. By following our post-operative instructions closely—such as elevating the head of your bed when resting or avoiding direct sun exposure on incisions—you can minimize complications and enjoy smoother, longer-lasting results.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

You may be an excellent candidate if you're in generally good health, have finished having children, and wish to address the physical changes brought on by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It's also beneficial to have a stable weight, as significant fluctuations can affect the longevity of your results. Clear, realistic expectations are crucial: while a mommy makeover can be transformative, it's not a substitute for weight loss or a guarantee of perfection.

During your consultation at pēkomd®, our board-certified surgeons will carefully evaluate your medical history, anatomy, and goals to determine whether a mommy makeover aligns with your needs. If we find you'd benefit from a different approach—or if further treatments should be delayed due to health considerations—we'll provide straightforward guidance with your best interests in mind.

Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about how a mommy makeover can fit into your life and goals? Contact pēkomd® to schedule a personalized consultation and start your journey toward renewed confidence and comfort.

How long should I wait after giving birth before a mommy makeover?

We usually recommend waiting at least six months to a year after childbirth to allow your body to stabilize—especially if you're breastfeeding. This gives your hormonal levels and weight time to settle, ensuring more predictable results.

Can I combine all the procedures in one surgery?

Yes, many women choose to address multiple concerns at once, which can minimize overall recovery time. However, your surgeon will evaluate your health and unique needs to ensure a combined approach is safe and effective.

Will a mommy makeover affect future pregnancies?

Pregnancy after a mommy makeover is generally safe, but it can reverse some of the surgical improvements—particularly in the abdomen or breasts. If you plan on having more children soon, it might be wise to wait.

Are mommy makeovers covered by insurance?

Usually, these procedures are considered elective and not covered by insurance. However, some reconstructive elements—like hernia repair—may qualify for coverage. Our team can help clarify any financial questions.

How can I maintain my results long-term?

Maintaining a stable weight, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly are key to preserving your mommy makeover outcomes. Our staff can offer guidance on healthy lifestyle choices to extend your satisfaction with your new shape.
