Pregnancy and motherhood can bring incredible joy, but they can also leave lasting changes to your body that don’t always respond to diet and exercise. A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy shape and help you feel more confident in your skin. At Cultura, every Mommy Makeover is tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
The mommy makeover is a personalized and comprehensive combination of procedures that address the unique changes a woman’s body undergoes with pregnancy , aging or weight fluctuations. Each procedure is selected for the patient’s unique needs and goals, offering a completely customizable experience at Cultura Plastic Surgery.

Suitable candidates for a mommy makeover are those who have completed their family, or have stabilized in weight and desire to reshape their bodies.

Why Women Choose a Mommy Makeover
Breast Changes After Pregnancy
Pregnancy, and specifically breastfeeding, can cause changes to the breasts. Many women find that their breasts become deflated or sag, no longer providing the volume and profile they once did. The same changes can also take place with weight loss and gain as the breasts deflate due to the weight fluctuations.
Abdomen Changes After Pregnancy
Pregnancy can strain and separate the muscles of the abdomen, rendering them less effective at supporting the abdominal structure, while women with weight fluctuations experience stretched and sagging skin in their abdominal area.
Procedures That Can Be Included in a Mommy Makeover
Tummy Tuck |
The tummy tuck can help women achieve a more defined and toned stomach by eliminating stubborn fat and excess, stretched skin. In the case of pregnancy, a tummy tuck can also restore the abdominal muscles by tightening the rectus diastasis muscle thereby restoring the strength of the abdominal wall and producing a flatter and firmer abdomen. |
Breast Lift |
The breast lift is a procedure designed to elevate and reshape the breasts, restoring their appearance after pregnancy and breastfeeding or when women experience sagging and deflation due to child rearing or weight loss and gain. Several lift patterns are available, such as the lollipop lift, the anchor lift, and the donut lift, all of which can be further customized as needed. If more volume and profile are needed, implants can be added. |
Breast Augmentation |
Breast augmentation can restore volume to the breasts if they become flat or deflated with pregnancy and breastfeeding or weight fluctuation. Implants can be selected based on customization options such as size, shape, texture, and filling. A variety of incision patterns can offer further personalization. |
Brazilian Butt Lift |
The Brazilian butt lift is performed in conjunction with liposuction. It involves collecting fat tissue from one area of the body (such as the stomach, hips, or thighs) and placing it in the buttocks. This produces noticeable volume and a shapelier silhouette. |
Liposuction |
Liposuction is essential to a successful mommy makeover. It can remove stubborn pockets of fat resistant to exercise and diet efforts, reshaping the overall appearance of the body. Small incisions are made, which allow a cannula to remove fatty tissue from targeted areas. |
Vaginal Rejuvenation |
Labiaplasty is a procedure designed to restore the appearance and function of the vulva by removing excess stretched or torn skin from the inner labia. Some women experience injury or changes to their labia throughout childbearing, leading to discomfort or impaired function. |
Results of Mommy Makeover
The results of a mommy makeover are long-lasting in patients who maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, as well as those who take steps to prevent future pregnancies. Within several weeks, patients can see notable improvement in the overall appearance of their surgical areas.
