What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures that target loose skin, deflated breasts, excess fat, and much more. We help Austin, TX mothers to feel more confident about their bodies after giving birth. We help restore their bodies after just one surgery. We combine many techniques to address areas that women struggle with after losing weight or having children.
What is done during a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is tailored for each patient at Austin Plastic Surgery Institute. The areas treated will vary from patient to patient and may include:
-
Breasts: Loss of volume or breast tissue, drooping or sagging breasts, or excess skin are all things that can be addressed. We offer breast augmentation, breast augmentation with implants, breast lifts, breast augmentation with lift or breast reduction surgery.
-
Lower body: We can address excess fat or sagging skin in the thighs, hips, or buttocks. A lower body lift with liposuction or skin tightening can help.
-
Abdomen: Excessive fat or a bulge; loose or sagging skins; or stretch marks can be repaired. Both liposuction or a tummy tuck are included in a mommy makeover to restore the abdominal area. A tummy tuck can also tighten muscle separation that many mothers experience in Austin, TX.
-
Vagina: The vaginal area can be restored with vaginal rejuvenation or a labiaplasty.
Ultimately, a mommy makeover can be personalized to suit the concerns of any patient. We pride ourselves on helping our patients to get the body they love once more after giving birth or losing weight.

Mommy Makeover FAQs
While we do offer a consultation where you can ask questions, we also would like to address some of the most frequently asked questions before meeting with you in our Austin, TX office.
Is plastic surgery safe?
There are risks to consider for any surgery. When procedures are combined, those risks increase. It’s important to use a plastic surgeon with adequate training and experience to reduce the chance of any complications.
Can you remove my stretch marks?
If stretch marks exist somewhere that is being treated, we will try our best to remove them when excess skin is removed.
How bad will scarring be after surgery?
We try hard to place and close incisions so that scarring is minimal. They will eventually fade and can be easily concealed.
How long does it take to recover from a mommy makeover?
The time it will take to recover will depend on the number of surgeries you choose. Most women will require at least a month to recover; however, some can return to work within two weeks. This will vary from patient to patient. It generally takes a full year for all of the changes associated with a mommy makeover to come to fruition.
