Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the body in ways that diet and exercise rarely undo. Skin stretches, abdominal muscles separate, and breasts lose volume and lift. A mommy makeover brings several body contouring procedures together into one coordinated plan, so you can restore your shape with a single surgery and a single recovery.
This guide covers what a mommy makeover in Miami includes, what it costs at Svelta Plastic Surgery, what recovery looks like week by week, and how to choose the right surgical team.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures that addresses the most common changes after pregnancy: loose abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), stubborn fat, and changes in breast shape and volume. Instead of treating each area in a separate surgery, the procedures are performed in one session, which means one round of anesthesia and one recovery period.
Every plan is built around the individual patient. Two mothers rarely need the same combination, because pregnancy affects every body differently.
Which Procedures Make Up a Mommy Makeover?
Most mommy makeovers start with a tummy tuck and a breast procedure, then add other areas based on your goals:
- Tummy tuck: Removes excess abdominal skin, eliminates stretch marks below the navel, and repairs separated abdominal muscles for a flat, firm midsection. It is the foundation of nearly every mommy makeover.
- Breast augmentation: Restores volume lost during pregnancy and breastfeeding with silicone or saline implants sized to your frame.
- Breast lift: Corrects sagging by removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue to a higher, more youthful position. It can be combined with augmentation when you want both lift and volume.
- Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms, and is commonly paired with a tummy tuck for full-circumference reshaping.
- Brazilian Butt Lift: Transfers fat removed during liposuction to the buttocks for added shape and projection.

Is Financing Available?
Yes. Svelta partners with CareCredit and Affirm for low monthly payment options, and also offers an in-house layaway plan. Visit our financing page to check your options before your consultation.
What Should You Expect During Recovery?
Because several procedures are combined, recovery takes longer than a single surgery, but you only go through it once. Surgery itself typically takes 4 to 7 hours under general anesthesia, depending on which procedures are included. A typical timeline looks like this:
- Days 1 to 5: Rest at home with a caregiver. Drain tubes may be in place if a tummy tuck was included, and compression garments are worn as directed.
- Weeks 1 to 3: Light walking is encouraged to prevent blood clots. Avoid lifting anything over 10 lbs, including small children. Most patients with desk jobs return to work around days 14 to 21.
- Weeks 4 to 6: Gradually resume normal daily activities as swelling and bruising continue to improve. No strenuous exercise or heavy lifting until your surgeon clears you.
- Months 3 to 6: Full results become visible as residual swelling resolves and scars begin to fade.
Most patients are cleared for all activity, including exercise, by 6 to 8 weeks. If you have young children at home, plan for extra help with lifting and carrying during the first few weeks. Patients with physically demanding jobs often need closer to 4 to 6 weeks off.
What Helps Recovery Go Smoothly?
- Stopping smoking or nicotine at least 4 weeks before and after surgery
- Arranging a caregiver for the first several days
- Following your compression garment and drain care instructions
- Keeping every follow-up appointment with your care team
How Do You Choose the Right Surgical Team?
A mommy makeover combines several procedures in one session, so experience with combination surgery matters. When comparing practices, look at:
- Surgeon training and credentials: Ask about each surgeon's training and specific experience with combined body contouring.
- Facility accreditation: Combined procedures should be performed in an accredited surgical facility with established anesthesia and safety protocols.
- Before-and-after results: Review before-and-after photos of patients with body types similar to yours.
- Transparent pricing: A clear starting price and an itemized quote at consultation help you plan with confidence.
