At ERA Aesthetics, a mommy makeover is never a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Kimberly Jones carefully tailors the combination of procedures to address the areas most impacted by pregnancy, weight loss, or natural aging. As a mother herself, Dr. Jones understands the physical and emotional changes that can happen over time and how deeply personal this decision can be.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of body contouring and breast enhancement procedures designed to address physical changes caused by pregnancy.

While often associated with post-pregnancy concerns, a mommy makeover can also be an excellent option for patients experiencing changes related to significant weight loss or aging.

Dr. Jones tailors each mommy makeover to your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle, with a focus on safety and balanced, long-term results. The goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable in your body with results that look natural.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Good candidates for a mommy makeover are patients who are in good overall health and feel self-conscious about their appearance or aren’t as comfortable leading an active lifestyle because of changes to their bodies.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are finished having children
  • Are at a stable, healthy weight
  • Have concerns involving multiple areas of the body
  • Are healthy
  • Want one coordinated recovery rather than multiple surgeries

While many patients pursue a mommy makeover after pregnancy, it’s also a popular option for women after weight loss or those addressing changes related to aging and skin laxity.

Mommy Makeover Recovery Timeline

The time it takes to heal after mommy makeover surgery depends on the combination of procedures performed. In most cases, the tummy tuck portion requires the most downtime and largely determines the overall recovery timeline. Some general recovery expectations include:

First 1–2 weeks

Patients should focus on rest, gentle walking, and healing.

10–14 days

Many patients return to work, depending on the physical demands of the job.

4–6 weeks

Patients may gradually return to normal activities and light exercise.

6+ weeks

Patients can typically resume more strenuous activity once medically cleared.

Dr. Jones provides a detailed recovery plan and follows you closely throughout the healing process to ensure your comfort, safety, and optimal results.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

How long do mommy makeover results last?

Results are long-lasting, especially when you maintain a stable weight and don’t have a future pregnancy.
