About Mommy Makeovers
Dr. Homas offers several sets of procedures with options including breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. It is common to perform multiple procedures in a single session, allowing a patient to improve several areas in one surgery and recovery period.
Each mommy makeover is unique. Dr. Homas brings skill and experience to tailor the procedures to the patient’s goals, needs, and anatomy.
Tummy Tuck
During pregnancy, your body undergoes large weight fluctuations. If significant enough, these drastic shifts may cause irreversible stretching of the linea alba, a connective tissue structure that runs through the middle of your abdominal muscles. Persistent loose skin and weakened abdominal tissues often remain despite regular exercise and healthy weight management. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical treatment that removes excess abdominal skin and repairs separated muscles to achieve a firmer, smoother profile. Specific techniques can vary depending on the amount and location of excess skin, fat, and muscle separation. (1)
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn, localized pockets of fat to sculpt and refine the body’s natural contours. Varying fat distribution and weight fluctuations are a normal part of life. Factors like pregnancy and aging can exacerbate these changes in ways diet and exercise alone cannot fix. Liposuction can be a helpful alternative to help you feel like your best self again. Although tummy tuck surgery and liposuction may sometimes be combined, they are distinct procedures. A tummy tuck primarily addresses loose skin and weakened or separated abdominal muscles, while liposuction targets pockets of localized fat. Liposuction does not correct significant loose skin or repair separated abdominal muscles; instead, it helps improve the contour of the target area. (1)
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a breast-enhancing procedure that can elevate the shape, symmetry, fullness, and size of your breasts. Over time, several factors can affect your breasts’ appearance and composition. Factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, genetics, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, and the natural effects of aging can leave you with misshapen or deflated-looking breasts. By placing either silicone or saline breast implants, Dr. Homas can replace volume and create a fuller breast appearance. (2)
Breast Lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, rejuvenates and reshapes the breasts by addressing sagging and restoring youthful firmness. It is common for your breasts to change over time and lose their once-perky appearance, resulting in sagging, drooping, or flattening. In this case, a breast lift is an optimal solution.
The goal of this procedure is not necessarily to add volume but to sculpt the breasts into the shape that the patient desires. Dr. Homas can perform a breast lift in conjunction with a breast reduction or augmentation, but it is also effective as a standalone procedure. A breast lift is ideal for patients who want to improve breast positioning without significantly changing overall size. Dr. Homas’ unique expertise allows him to determine the most effective technique for each patient’s goals and anatomy. (3)
Benefits
When you become a mother, your kids become your entire world, often meaning that you put your own needs and desires on the shelf. Many moms want to restore their pre-pregnancy figure, but even with a healthy diet and exercise, this can be a challenge. A mommy makeover can help you reclaim your body and feel like your best self again.
After pregnancy and breastfeeding, many women are left with lasting changes to several areas of their body. From sagging breasts, stretched skin, separated muscles, and stubborn fat, these drastic changes can take a toll on mental and physical health.
Dr. Homas offers various combinations of procedures so patients can customize treatment to their unique goals and achieve their ideal physique in one surgery and recovery period.
Candidates
You may be an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover if several areas of your body show signs of stress from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Suitable candidates are generally in good overall health, do not smoke, maintain a stable weight, and do not intend to have additional children.
Despite the name, mommy makeovers aren’t only for moms. In fact, they are not just for women either. Patients who have lost weight due to GLP-1 use, aging, or metabolic changes may benefit from this tactful, inclusive surgical approach. It is essential to have a clear, positive mindset and understand the benefits, achievable outcomes, and potential risks. A personal consultation with Dr. Homas is an effective way to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a mommy makeover. (4)

Preparation
Proper preparation for a mommy makeover is critical to achieving optimal results. Preparing both physically and mentally is just as essential as the procedure itself.
Before the procedure, patients may be asked to do the following:
- Maintain a stable weight before and after the surgery.
- Discontinue the use of GLP-1 medications 2-4 weeks before surgery.
- Stop the use of nicotine and alcohol.
- Avoid taking any blood thinner medication.
- Plan for 4-6 weeks of recovery time in advance.
Dr. Homas will provide clear and detailed preoperative instructions customized to your health profile and treatment plan. Following preoperative instructions will contribute to the success and safety of the surgery. (4)
Recovery
Because mommy makeovers are personalized, recovery depends on the patient and the specific combination of procedures performed. Recovery from a mommy makeover generally takes 4-6 weeks before patients can resume most normal activities. During this timeframe, it is normal to experience some degree of bruising, swelling, tenderness, and/or numbness. Proper healing requires time and dedication. As incisions heal, swelling diminishes, scarring softens, and your new body contours settle into place, final results will gradually emerge.
While undergoing a combined procedure offers the benefit of a single, streamlined recovery rather than multiple separate healing periods, success relies on your commitment to following post-operative instructions, patience, and ongoing communication with Dr. Homas and his team. Throughout every phase of your recovery, Dr. Homas and his team will guide you and provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your healing journey.
Results
A mommy makeover is a highly individualized procedure, so results vary depending on your surgical plan and anatomy. Patients can generally expect:
- A flatter and firmer stomach with repaired abdominal muscles.
- Restored breast volume, improved symmetry, and a more youthful, perky appearance
- A more defined and contoured silhouette
Scars are permanent but fade significantly over several months to a year. The key to a successful mommy makeover is combining various contouring techniques seamlessly. With his advanced expertise, Dr. Homas concentrates on delivering outcomes that look natural and harmonious with your unique frame. (4)

FAQ
When should I have a mommy makeover?
It is recommended to wait 6 to 12 months after childbirth and 3 to 6 months after breastfeeding before undergoing a mommy makeover. Ideally, patients should delay surgery until they have finished having children, as future pregnancies or significant weight changes can compromise results.
How old is too old for a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover has no strict upper age limit. While most patients undergo this procedure between 30 and 45, healthy adults of all ages can benefit if Dr. Homas determines you are a good fit.
Will I lose weight after a mommy makeover?
Although mommy makeovers remove excess fat and loose tissue, these are body contouring methods, not weight loss procedures. Its primary goal is to resculpt your body into a confident, youthful physique.
