What is a Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover is a customised combination of cosmetic procedures designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy body after childbirth. Commonly performed treatments include a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction to address changes in the abdomen, breasts, and body shape caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
This transformative procedure focuses on:
Tightening loose abdominal muscles
Removing excess skin and fat
Lifting or enhancing the breasts
Improving body contour and skin tone
Mommy Makeovers are tailored to each patient’s needs and are suitable for women who have finished breastfeeding and are at a stable weight. Recovery time varies depending on the combination of procedures performed.
Available in expert clinics in London, Dubai, Doha, and Beirut, Mommy Makeovers offer long-lasting, natural results — helping women feel confident, youthful, and empowered after motherhood.
Areas of
Mommy Makeover
Separated or Weakened Abdominal Muscles
If you’re experiencing diastasis recti — a separation of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy — and notice a persistent belly bulge or core weakness, you may be a strong candidate. A Mommy Makeover can include muscle tightening to help restore your abdominal strength, posture, and overall core function.
Loose Abdominal Skin or Stubborn Fat
Women who struggle with loose skin, stretch marks, or excess fat around the midsection — especially after multiple pregnancies — are excellent candidates. If healthy eating and exercise haven’t restored your pre-baby waistline, a tummy tuck and liposuction combination can provide smoother, firmer abdominal contours.
Breasts Have Lost Volume or Shape
You’re likely a good candidate if your breasts appear saggy, deflated, or uneven following pregnancy or breastfeeding. A Mommy Makeover can include a breast lift, implants, or fat transfer to restore fullness, elevate the breast position, and rejuvenate your overall figure with natural-looking results.

Preparation & Aftercare
Follow these instruction to prepare for your procedure and to have a smooth post-operative recovery.
Pre-Op
Maintain a stable weight before surgery. Stop smoking 1 week before the procedure. Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements. Arrange for a responsible adult to stay with you for the first 24 hours.
What to Avoid
Smoking, alcohol, and recreational drugs Heavy meals or eating after the time specified by your clinic Unapproved medications or herbal supplements Last-minute skincare treatments (peels, waxing) near the surgery site.
Post-Op
Wear compression garments as recommended to reduce swelling and support healing. Take prescribed medications for pain and inflammation as directed. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 2–4 weeks. Keep the incision sites clean and dry; follow wound care instructions. Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery.
CHANGES AFTER CHILD BIRTH
Breasts
Breasts: Volume Loss, Sagging & Asymmetry
Breast enlargement during pregnancy and nursing stretches the skin and tissues
After breastfeeding ends, volume often decreases, leading to a deflated appearance
Sagging (ptosis) is common, and asymmetry may occur
Many women consider breast lift, augmentation, or both to restore shape and balance
Body
Body: Loose Skin, Fat Deposits & Muscle Separation
The abdomen stretches significantly, often causing loose or hanging skin
Stubborn fat accumulates in the belly, hips, and thighs, resistant to diet and exercise
Diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation) can cause a persistent “mom pouch”
Treatments include tummy tuck, liposuction, and muscle repair surgery
Vagina
Vaginal Area: Laxity, Dryness & Aesthetic Concerns
Vaginal birth can cause vaginal laxity, stretching, or loss of tightness
Some experience discomfort, dryness, or changes in sensitivity
Labial stretching or asymmetry may also occur
Treatments like vaginal rejuvenation, perineoplasty, or labiaplasty can restore function and comfort
What to expect
During Your Mommy Makeover Procedure
A Mommy Makeover is typically performed under general anaesthesia and combines multiple body contouring and breast procedures in one surgery. The process usually takes 3 to 6 hours, depending on your customised treatment plan.
You can expect:
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin, tightens abdominal muscles
Breast lift or augmentation: Restores volume, shape, or firmness
Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat in the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or arms
Small incisions are made strategically to minimise visible scarring
Surgery is performed in a fully accredited clinic or hospital
After surgery, you’ll spend a few hours in recovery before being discharged (or staying overnight if advised). You’ll wear compression garments to support healing, and most patients return to light activities in 10–14 days, with full recovery in 6–8 weeks.
