Mommy makeover
A mommy makeover is a plan, not a package. We combine the breast and body procedures you need, such as augmentation or lift, tummy tuck and liposuction, to restore what pregnancy and breastfeeding changed.

Overview
Every pregnancy changes the body differently. Some women mostly lost breast volume. Others have loose abdominal skin and separated muscles. Many have both. I start by listening to what bothers you most, then design a plan that may be one operation or two stages.
Combining procedures can mean one recovery instead of two. Safety still comes first: the total operating time and your health decide whether everything is done together or in stages.
Is it right for you?
A mommy makeover may be right for you if
- You're done having children
- Several months have passed since you finished breastfeeding
- Your weight is stable
- You can count on help at home during the first weeks
The procedure
What it can include
Abdomen
A tummy tuck with muscle repair for loose skin and diastasis recti.
Waist and back
Lipo 360 with AYON and Renuvion to contour the whole torso.
One or two stages
Planned around safety, your recovery and your family's schedule.
Recovery
What recovery usually looks like
- First week
Rest and short walks. Arrange help with children; no lifting little ones yet.
- Two to three weeks
Many patients return to light work.
- About six weeks
Lifting and exercise resume, as cleared at follow-up.
- Months
Swelling settles, the breasts soften and scars fade.
Every recovery is individual. You'll leave with a written plan for yours, and you can reach us at (402) 489-4700 at any time.
Results
What to expect
Results build over several months as swelling settles. The goal is a body that looks like yours again, not like someone else's.
At your consultation I'll show you before and after photos of patients with a starting point similar to yours. Individual results vary.

Because this is a cosmetic procedure, it isn't covered by insurance.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can everything be done in one surgery?
Often, yes. It depends on which procedures you need, the total operating time and your health. When it's safer, we stage the plan in two operations.
How long should I wait after breastfeeding?
Several months, so that breast size has stabilized. I'll advise you based on your situation.
When can I lift my children again?
Usually not for several weeks. Plan for help at home, especially with small children.
What if I want more children?
It's best to wait. Another pregnancy can change the results of both breast and abdominal surgery.
Is a mommy makeover covered by insurance?
No. It is a cosmetic procedure. You'll receive a written estimate after your consultation.
