What is a Mommy Makeover? +
A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of plastic surgery procedures, typically a tummy tuck, breast procedure, and liposuction, performed in a single surgical session to restore a woman's body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. At Svelta Plastic Surgery, we call this fully personalized transformation the Svelta Total Sculpt™.
When should I get a Mommy Makeover? +
We recommend waiting until you are done having children, as future pregnancies can reverse the results. You should also be at or near your goal weight and have finished breastfeeding for at least 3–6 months before surgery.
Am I a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover? +
Good candidates are at or near their goal weight, in good overall health, non-smokers, have completed their families, and have realistic expectations about combined-procedure results. A consultation with one of our surgeons will confirm candidacy based on your specific health history and goals.
What procedures are typically included in a Mommy Makeover? +
Most Mommy Makeovers combine a tummy tuck, a breast procedure (augmentation, lift, or reduction), and liposuction. Some patients add a Brazilian Butt Lift or additional body contouring for a complete transformation. Your surgeon builds the exact combination around your goals and anatomy.
What happens during a Mommy Makeover consultation? +
Your surgeon evaluates your anatomy, goals, and health history, then walks you through which procedures make sense for your body and in what combination. You will discuss technique options, review before and after photos, get a personalized cost estimate, and have every question answered before deciding whether to move forward.
How long does Mommy Makeover surgery take? +
Combined procedures typically take 4–7 hours depending on which surgeries are included, all performed under general anesthesia in our A+ accredited surgical facility. Your surgeon will give you a specific estimate once your surgical plan is finalized.
Is it safe to combine multiple procedures in one surgery? +
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgical team in an accredited surgical facility. Combining procedures is a widely practiced and safe approach for appropriate candidates. Our team conducts a thorough health screening to confirm you are a good candidate for combined surgery before scheduling.
How long does Mommy Makeover recovery take? +
Most patients take 2–3 weeks off work and can resume light activities within 3–4 weeks. Full recovery takes 6–8 weeks. Because multiple procedures are combined, recovery is longer than for a single procedure, but you only go through it once.
How soon can I return to work after a Mommy Makeover? +
Most patients with desk jobs return to work within 2–3 weeks. Those with physically demanding jobs or young children to lift and carry often need closer to 4–6 weeks. We build a personalized recovery timeline at your consultation.
Will I have scars after a Mommy Makeover? +
Yes. A tummy tuck leaves a horizontal scar along the bikini line, and breast procedures may leave scars around the areola or under the breast. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring, and scars typically fade significantly over 12–18 months.
When will I see my final results? +
Initial swelling subsides over the first few weeks, but final results take several months to fully appear as residual swelling resolves and incisions mature. Most patients see their true final shape by month 3–6.
How long do Mommy Makeover results last? +
Results are long-lasting when patients maintain a stable weight. The repaired abdominal muscles, removed skin, and repositioned breast tissue do not reverse on their own. Significant weight gain or a future pregnancy can affect results, which is why we recommend completing your family first.
How much does a Mommy Makeover cost in Miami? +
At Svelta Plastic Surgery, Mommy Makeovers start at $6,500 for a tummy tuck and breast procedure combination. Full packages including liposuction and a BBL run $9,500–$12,000. Final cost depends on the combination of procedures, extent of treatment, and individual anatomy.

Yes. We offer CareCredit and Affirm financing with low monthly payment options, plus an in-house layaway plan. Visit our Financing page or ask during your consultation for options tailored to your surgical plan.
