Is a Mommy Makeover Part of Your New Year’s Resolutions?

The New Year is here, and you want to look your best in 2026. Having kids is a blessing, but it does a number on your body. If you’re not achieving the results you want with diet and exercise, you should consider a mommy makeover.

At Breast, Body, Beauty Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Aisha Baron offers a variety of services in her mommy makeover package, including liposuction, a tummy tuck, and breast augmentation.

Dr. Baron is a compassionate, experienced plastic surgeon offering a range of options to help you achieve the body you’ve been dreaming of.

What does a mommy makeover entail?

A mommy makeover is a term used to describe a range of cosmetic procedures that help you get your body back after having kids. It’s not a one-size-fits-all treatment, but a fully customizable option for women who want to change their bodies.

A mommy makeover usually has several parts, depending on your goals. Common procedures include:

Breast reduction or augmentation

After having kids, some women’s breasts sag or lose volume from breastfeeding. A mommy makeover can include a breast augmentation with implants, a reduction, a lift, or a combination. These procedures give you perkier, fuller, and more symmetrical breasts.

Liposuction

Many women retain excess fat around their midsection, thighs, or buttocks after pregnancy. These areas are often resistant to diet and exercise.

Liposuction is a surgical option that allows us to liquify and remove fat through small incisions, giving you a sculpted appearance you can’t achieve on your own.

Tummy tuck

A tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction to remove excess fat and tissue from your abdominal area. Reducing this excess in your lower abdomen helps create a flatter, more toned appearance.

We also offer additional aesthetic options for a full-service mommy makeover. Dr. Baron personalizes each makeover to your goals and needs.

Good candidates for a mommy makeover

Not everyone is a good candidate for a mommy makeover, especially if you plan to have more children. However, if you’ve finished having kids and are ready for your dream body, you could be a good candidate for surgical procedures.

There are a few other prerequisites to be a good candidate for a mommy makeover, including:

• Being a nonsmoker
• At a stable weight for your body
• In good overall health
• Having realistic expectations
• Able to take the appropriate time to recover

It’s essential to discuss your goals, expectations, and recovery timeline with Dr. Baron to determine if these procedures are right for you. Having honest expectations going into a mommy makeover helps ensure satisfaction with your results.

What to expect after the procedure

After a surgical mommy makeover, you should expect some pain, swelling, and bruising for several weeks as your body recovers. It’s crucial to take it easy for the first few weeks to avoid damage or increased pain during your recovery.

The first two weeks are vital to your recovery. Swelling and bruising will be noticeable, and pain management will be necessary. Arrange for help at home, as you will need extra rest and must avoid heavy lifting.

Most people resume normal activities after about a month, depending on the procedures. Swelling, pain, and bruising gradually fade over several weeks.

You may need a few weeks off from work to allow your body to heal. Many fully heal within 3-6 months of the procedure. We check in with you throughout your recovery to ensure everything is going well.
