Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it can also leave lasting changes on your body. You might follow a healthy eating plan and get regular exercise, but you just can’t get your pre-baby body back.
The team here at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center and our surgeon, Yaqub Baraki, MD, want to help you reclaim your figure, possibly through a mommy makeover.
Read on to learn what this transformative procedure includes and whether you are a candidate.
About mommy makeovers
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore and enhance your body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Common areas we address include the breasts, abdomen, hips, and waist.
Procedures often included:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Breast lift or augmentation
- Laser liposuction
- Brazilian butt lift
You may also choose to add on Renuvion J-Plasma for skin tightening and rejuvenating of SculpSure® for total body sculpting.
We customize every mommy makeover to your unique needs and aesthetic goals, as no two bodies or birth experiences are alike.
Candidates for mommy makeovers
Women who are good candidates for a mommy makeover:
Are done having children
Future pregnancies can reverse the results of a mommy makeover. For long-lasting benefits, it’s best to wait until your family is complete.
Are at or near their goal weight
Though liposuction can remove stubborn fat, a mommy makeover isn’t a weight loss procedure. The best results come when you’re within about 10-15 pounds of your target weight.
Have realistic expectations
This procedure can restore and enhance your figure, but it won’t make you look like someone else. A healthy mindset and clear goals are key.
Are in good overall health
Ideal candidates are non-smokers (or willing to quit before and after surgery), free of major medical conditions, and have a stable body mass index (BMI).
Have completed breastfeeding
If you breastfed your baby, your breasts need time to return to their natural size and shape before undergoing surgery. Most surgeons recommend waiting at least three to six months after breastfeeding before starting any surgery involving your breasts.
Why consider a mommy makeover
A mommy makeover can transform your physique and confidence. Women seek the procedure to:
- Restore body confidence after pregnancy
- Remove loose, stretched skin and stubborn fat
- Lift and reshape breasts
- Improve clothing fit and comfort
- Create a more youthful, balanced silhouette
For many women, a mommy makeover is about more than appearance; it’s about feeling confident and strong in their bodies again.
Start with a consultation
The best way to know if you’re a candidate for a mommy makeover is to schedule a consultation with our team at Lansdowne Aesthetics. During this visit, you’ll discuss your concerns, goals, medical history, and receive expert guidance on your options.
