Mommy Makeover in Miami, FL
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and time itself can change your body in ways that diet and exercise alone can’t fully reverse. A Mommy Makeover is designed to restore your shape, tone, and confidence by targeting areas most affected by these changes—most often the breasts, abdomen, and body contours. Whether you’re a mom looking to reclaim your pre-baby body or a woman who has experienced changes due to aging or weight fluctuations, a Mommy Makeover ensures that your body looks balanced, natural, and beautiful.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a customizable combination of cosmetic surgery procedures designed to rejuvenate your figure after pregnancy, aging, or weight loss. Rather than focusing on one specific area, a Mommy Makeover addresses multiple regions of your body in a single, comprehensive cosmetic procedure. While each Mommy Makeover is tailored to you, they typically include a combination of the following:
Breast Surgery
A breast lift, breast augmentation, breast reduction, or a combination is performed to restore the youthful shape, placement, and volume of your breasts.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck tightens weak or damaged abdominal muscles and removes excess skin and flab for a smoother, flatter midsection.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits and enhances your body contours for a slimmer, more defined shape.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover is one of the most rewarding cosmetic procedures available because it can create a dramatic, head-to-toe aesthetic transformation in a single surgery. Benefits include:
- Comprehensive rejuvenation: Simultaneously corrects sagging breasts, excess skin, and stubborn fat.
- Customized to your needs: Every Mommy Makeover is unique, designed specifically to enhance your body type and proportions, and achieve your desired results.
- Single recovery period: Combining cosmetic procedures means you recover once, minimizing necessary downtime.
- Boosted self-esteem: Eliminating excess skin and fat in certain areas while enhancing your shape in others can improve your body image and restore your confidence in your appearance.
- Long-lasting results: With a healthy lifestyle, your Mommy Makeover results can last for many years.
Beyond physical improvement, a Mommy Makeover can give you a renewed sense of empowerment and self-assurance, creating an appearance on the outside that matches how you feel on the inside.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Good candidates for a Mommy Makeover are often frustrated with stretched, sagging skin and stubborn areas of fat that will not disappear despite their best efforts through diet and exercise. Ideal candidates for a Mommy Makeover should be non-smokers who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure, and who are experiencing:
- Loss of volume in your breasts due to breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or age (deflation or sagging)
- Stretch marks and excess skin
- Damage to the abdominal muscles (separation or looseness, known as diastasis recti)
- Localized fat deposits that don’t respond to lifestyle adjustments
Candidates for a Mommy Makeover should ideally be finished having children, as additional pregnancies can affect results.

What Are My Mommy Makeover Options?
A Mommy Makeover typically includes breast enhancement, tummy tuck, and liposuction, though again, your particular surgery is customized to you. Because it is a combination of procedures, you can expect each aspect of your Mommy Makeover to resolve specific issues. Below is a list of the procedures involved, and how each option works towards comprehensively revitalizing your body and sculpting the most gorgeous you:
Breast Enhancement
A breast lift and breast augmentation are often combined to combat issues that occur in the breast after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging. A breast lift involves contouring your breast tissue to create an elevated, youthful appearance. A breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants, or fat transfer to the breast to reverse any loss in volume and create an alluring silhouette.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery (also known as abdominoplasty) is designed to eliminate excess skin, fat, and stretch marks on your abdomen. It also repairs muscles that are often weakened or damaged during pregnancy (a condition known as diastasis recti), resulting in a stronger core, reduced back pain, and a smoother, flatter stomach.
Liposuction
Liposuction is an incredibly versatile aesthetic procedure, as it can slim and contour nearly any part of your body. It can eliminate fat that accumulates around the abdomen and waistline during pregnancy or aging, as well as other areas, including the bra line, hips and flanks, abdomen, thighs, arms, and any other pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Preparing for Your Mommy Makeover
Before your Mommy Makeover, Dr. Mendieta will provide you with the necessary information to make sure you are prepared on the day of your surgery. In order to help ensure a safe surgery, it is imperative that you follow his instructions, increasing your chances of a smooth surgical experience and complication-free recovery process.
Before your Mommy Makeover, you should:
- Quit smoking for six to eight weeks, as this can inhibit healing after surgery.
- Stop eating and drinking for the amount of time instructed before your surgery.
- Make sure you have someone to drive you home after the procedure and stay with you for the first day or so.
- Fill prescriptions for the appropriate pain medication to avoid stopping on the way home from surgery.
- Prepare a comfortable rest and recovery space at home, complete with everything you may need (electronics, chargers, water, snacks) in easy reach.
What to Expect During Your Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover Consultation
Your Mommy Makeover journey begins with a detailed consultation with one of our skilled and experienced plastic surgeons. During this time, they will listen to your goals and evaluate your body’s current proportions, considering every angle of your figure from all sides as they develop your Mommy Makeover treatment plan based on your medical history, body type, and problem areas. This thorough, personal approach to all aspects of the procedure ensures that your Mommy Makeover is specifically designed to address your concerns with long-lasting solutions.
During your consultation, your surgeon will:
- Review your medical history, including previous surgeries, general health status, and pre-existing conditions.
- Discuss your aesthetic goals and the changes you’d like to achieve.
- Take photographs and measurements for size, shape, and skin quality.
- Explain which combination of procedures will best deliver your desired outcome.
- Outline the recovery process, timeline, and expected results.
- Provide an individualized quote and surgical plan.
Your consultation is also your opportunity to ask questions, look at before and after photos, and get to know your surgeon so you can go into the procedure feeling confident that you’re making the best decision for your body.
Mommy Makeover Procedure
A Mommy Makeover is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes several hours, depending on the number of procedures being performed.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess lax skin and tightening internal breast tissue. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful elevation, with incisions placed discreetly along natural breast creases for minimal scarring.
Breast Augmentation
If breast fullness has been lost after pregnancy or weight changes, breast augmentation restores that volume using silicone or saline implants or fat transfer to the breast. The implants are placed beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle to enhance your shape while maintaining soft, natural-feeling breasts.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck repairs weakened abdominal muscles and removes loose skin for a flatter, smoother abdomen. A low incision is made near the bikini line, the muscle layer is tightened and repaired, excess skin is trimmed away, and the skin is redraped to create a more toned midsection.
Liposuction
Liposuction eliminates stubborn fat and expertly defines your curves. A thin cannula is placed through hidden incisions to remove fat deposits, contouring the waist, hips, and flanks to enhance the overall balance and symmetry of your body.
Each element of your Mommy Makeover is carefully designed to work together, restoring harmony and balance to your figure and boosting your confidence in your beautifully refined, feminine silhouette.
Mommy Makeover Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from a Mommy Makeover varies depending on the number and extent of procedures included, but most patients can expect two to three weeks of initial downtime before resuming light activity. Full healing, including returning to strenuous activities and exercise, typically takes around six to eight weeks.
Here are a few things to expect during recovery after your Mommy Makeover:
The First Few Days After Surgery
You’ll experience swelling, bruising, and soreness, all of which are normal. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to minimize discomfort and prevent infection.
Compression Garments
You will wear compression and support garments to help reduce swelling, support your healing tissues, and shape your new contours.
Drain Care
If surgical drains are placed, you’ll receive clear instructions on how to manage them.
Follow-up Appointments
You’ll visit your surgeon for regular check-ins so they can monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing and results.
Prior to your Mommy Makeover, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for your incisions and when you can safely return to your regular activities. You are encouraged to take short, slow walks around your house as soon as possible to promote circulation and prevent blood clots; however, strenuous activity should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.
With each passing week, your swelling continues to subside, and your beautiful new contours gradually emerge, revealing a slimmer, tighter, and more youthful figure.
What Results Can I Expect From a Mommy Makeover?
The results of your Mommy Makeover can often be absolutely life-changing. Once the initial swelling fades, you’ll notice:
- A flatter, firmer, and more toned abdomen
- Elevated, youthful breasts with improved shape and volume
- Enhanced body proportions and definition
- A smoother, contoured waistline and overall silhouette
- Renewed self-confidence and feeling more comfortable in your clothing
Your Mommy Makeover scars will fade over time, and with proper care, your results can last for many years to come. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, along with regular exercise, is the best way to ensure your newly slender shape stays beautiful for as long as possible.
Mommy Makeover FAQs
-
Why do I need to stop smoking before my Mommy Makeover?
Smoking cessation for at least six to eight weeks before your Mommy Makeover will significantly help during your recovery period and reduce complication risk during the surgery and afterward. Smoking (and all forms of tobacco) prevents healing because it does not allow the body to transport oxygen to the treatment areas as easily. Also, smoking increases inflammation and your risk of infection.
-
What if I don't need all of the Mommy Makeover procedures mentioned above?
The Mommy Makeover is a customizable surgery, and the procedures performed will be chosen based on your needs. While some women choose to get a breast lift as a part of their Mommy Makeover, not every woman also wants breast implants to increase the size of their bust. During the consultation, Dr. Mendieta will discuss your goals and expectations and develop a surgical plan tailored to your specific needs.
-
Why should I wait until after I am done having children for my Mommy Makeover?
Body changes from pregnancy and childbirth are the primary reasons women choose to undergo a Mommy Makeover, since this surgery is designed to help return their bodies to a pre-pregnancy state. An additional pregnancy after a Mommy Makeover will likely result in the same concerns and body changes as the first pregnancy. Therefore, many women who have an additional pregnancy desire repeated or touch-up procedures.
Mommy Makeover surgery will not physically affect an additional pregnancy in any way.
-
How soon can you have a Mommy Makeover after pregnancy?
While many women choose this surgery years after having their last child, others desire this procedure much sooner. Women should wait at least six months to one year after giving birth before considering a Mommy Makeover to ensure adequate time for healing after delivery. Also, women should wait for 3-6 months after stopping breastfeeding before undergoing breast procedures.
-
Will I have scars after my Mommy Makeover?
All forms of surgery, even cosmetic surgery, leave some scarring, and the Mommy Makeover is no exception. Dr. Mendieta will “hide” your scars in discreet areas of your body, so they are not visible to anybody. This means you will be able to wear the clothing or swimsuit of your dreams without feeling self-conscious about visible scars. Additionally, sutures for cosmetic surgery are specifically designed to minimize scarring and will fade significantly over time.

What is the difference between a Miami Makeover and a Mommy Makeover?
The Miami Makeover is a variation of the Mommy Makeover tailored to enhance your silhouette with an all-natural Brazilian Butt Lift. The Miami Makeover is perfect for those wanting to address the lack of shapeliness in their backside after pregnan
-
Will my Mommy Makeover results be permanent?
Cosmetic surgery cannot stop your body from aging; however, the results from your Mommy Makeover are virtually permanent. Maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle will help you sustain those results, understanding that massive weight gain or pregnancy after the procedure will significantly alter or reverse the results of your Mommy Makeover.
Since the Mommy Makeover typically involves breast augmentation, the lifespan of breast implants should be taken into consideration. Most breast implants need maintenance or replacement after several years/decades. Be sure to consult your surgeon regarding when you may need a replacement for your breast implants.
-
Are there risks or complications associated with Mommy Makeover surgery?
The best way to avoid complications with your Mommy Makeover is by carefully selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Mendieta and his colleagues at 4Beauty. With a well-trained and experienced surgeon and a healthy patient, complications are rare.
However, all surgeries carry risks, regardless of how safe the patient and surgeon are. Some risks associated with a Mommy Makeover may include infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, and fluid accumulation under the skin.
