What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of plastic surgery procedures that restores the body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The surgery is built around your individual goals, your anatomy, and the changes you want to address.
Most mommy makeover plans include some combination of the following:
The benefit of combining procedures is simple. You undergo one surgery, one anesthesia, and one recovery period. At the NYC Mommy Makeover Center, we design every mommy makeover around the patient, whether you want to return to your pre-baby body or improve on it.
How a Mommy Makeover Can Help You
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding leave behind changes that diet and exercise cannot always reverse. A mommy makeover targets the most common concerns women face after motherhood. These can include:
“No two mommy makeovers are the same. We build each plan around the concerns that matter most to the patient, and combine the procedures into a single life-changing surgery.”

What to Expect During Mommy Makeover Recovery
Recovery from a mommy makeover takes time, but most patients are surprised by how manageable the process is when they know what to expect. Here is a general timeline of what happens after your procedure.
Day 1
On the day of surgery, you will rest at home with help from a family member or caregiver. Swelling, bruising, and tightness across the chest and abdomen are normal. Any pain is well-managed with prescribed medication.
Days 2 to 3
Light walking is encouraged within the first 48 hours to support circulation. You will continue to rest with limited movement, and most patients feel a steady improvement each day.
Week 1
By the end of the first week, swelling and bruising begin to subside. Most patients are off prescription pain medication by now. You may still need help with childcare and household tasks during this stage.
Week 2
Most patients return to desk work and light daily activities during the second week. Compression garments are worn to support healing and reduce swelling as the breasts and abdomen continue to settle.
Weeks 3 to 4
You will feel close to normal in everyday life. Light cardio can usually resume around week four, and the body continues to heal beneath the surface even as you feel more like yourself.
Weeks 5 to 6
Full workouts and strenuous activity are typically cleared at the six-week mark. Swelling continues to fade, and incision lines continue to soften each week.
Months 3 to 6
Final results come into view between three and six months post-surgery. Residual swelling resolves, scars continue to fade, and the breasts and abdomen reach their final shape.
