What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a popular cosmetic surgery that combines custom cosmetic procedures to help women restore the areas of their body that have been most affected by pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and aging. It’s a personalized treatment plan that targets your unique goals, whether that means lifting the breasts, tightening the abdomen, enhancing body contours, or all of the above.
Most Mommy Makeovers offer a unique blend of breast enhancement procedures (such as a lift, augmentation, or reduction), tummy contouring procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction, and body sculpting surgeries to refine stubborn areas. Dr. Sharabi tailors every Mommy Makeover plan to your anatomy, lifestyle, and desired results, ensuring your transformation feels natural, balanced, and true to you.
With Dr. Sharabi’s meticulous technique and supportive approach, you can achieve a refreshed, rejuvenated look that reflects the strength and beauty you carry every day.

Mommy Makeover Procedures
Breast Augmentation
A breast augmentation restores or adds breast volume using implants or fat transfer to help renew fullness that may have diminished after pregnancy or breastfeeding. This procedure is ideal for women who want a rounder, more youthful breast shape or who simply wish to enhance their natural curves. Dr. Sharabi tailors implant type, size, and placement to your anatomy for results that look beautifully balanced and natural.
Breast Lift
Breastfeeding is usually the number one culprit for deflated, elongated, and flattened breasts. A breast lift is designed to reshape the breasts by removing and tightening excess skin and reaffirming the surrounding tissue. It is especially helpful for women experiencing moderate to excessive sagging, deflation, or downward‑pointing nipples that often follow pregnancy, but especially months of breastfeeding. A lift can be performed alone or combined with augmentation or reduction to achieve the shape and position that best fits your goals.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and skin to create a lighter, more proportionate breast size that better fits your figure and aesthetic goals. Many women choose this procedure to relieve discomfort in their shoulders, back, and neck muscles. It can also improve symmetry or achieve a more streamlined silhouette. After reduction, the breasts typically feel more comfortable and appear lifted, youthful, and naturally shaped.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck addresses one of the most common post‑pregnancy concerns: stretched abdominal muscles and loose skin. A tummy tuck aims to tighten, and repair separated abdominal muscles, remove excess skin, and smooth the midsection for a firmer, flatter appearance. It’s especially beneficial for women with diastasis recti or skin laxity that isn’t responding to diet and exercise alone.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn pockets of fat that often linger after pregnancy, even with a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Sharabi uses precise contouring techniques to sculpt areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, or back, creating smoother, more defined body lines. Liposuction is frequently combined with other Mommy Makeover procedures to enhance body shape and proportion.
Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover isn’t the right choice for every woman, but it can be an excellent option for those looking to restore their confidence and address the physical changes that often linger after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Ideal candidates typically share a combination of anatomical, lifestyle, and personal goals that make this customized approach especially effective.
Women who are bothered by changes such as breast deflation, sagging, abdominal muscle separation, sagging skin, or stubborn pockets of fat can often benefit most from a Mommy Makeover. Additionally, because the entire procedure is tailored to each person’s needs, it works well for women seeking a comprehensive yet streamlined way to rejuvenate multiple areas at once. Candidates who prefer to achieve their results without relying solely on diet, exercise, or non-surgical treatments may also be interested in moving in this direction.
Ideal candidates should:
- Be in good overall health to safely undergo combined procedures
- Have completed childbearing, as future pregnancies can affect results
- Maintain a stable weight for a long-lasting outcome
- Have realistic expectations about what a Mommy
- A makeover can achieve
Feel emotionally ready for the recovery process and transformation - Quit smoking or using nicotine or tobacco products for at least six weeks before their procedure and for six weeks after, as these substances can hinder recovery and cause unwanted complications

Mommy Makeover FAQS
How long does mommy makeover surgery typically take?
A Mommy Makeover usually takes between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the combination of procedures included in the plan created by you and Dr. Sharabi. Due to the fact that every treatment is tailored to your needs, Dr. Sharabi will give you a more precise estimate during your consultation. Many patients appreciate that combining procedures into one surgery reduces their overall downtime and recovery since you won’t have to go under anesthesia or under the knife multiple times over the next few months or years.
Will a mommy makeover leave visible scars?
All surgical procedures involve some degree of scarring, but Dr. Sharabi uses strategic incision placement and advanced closure techniques to keep scars as discreet as possible. Over time, most scars fade significantly and can often be hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. She’ll also guide you on scar‑care strategies to support optimal healing.
How long should I wait after childbirth before getting a mommy makeover?
Most women are advised to wait at least 6 to 12 months after giving birth, and after finishing breastfeeding, before considering a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body to stabilize, hormones to regulate, tissues to settle, and for you to return to a healthy weight, ensuring safer surgery and more predictable results. Dr. Sharabi will help determine the ideal timing based on your individual healing and goals.
Can I combine non‑surgical treatments with my mommy makeover?
Yes. Many patients choose to complement their surgical results with non‑invasive treatments such as skin tightening, injectables, or laser therapies. These can enhance skin quality, refine contours, or maintain results over time. Dr. Sharabi can recommend a customized plan that pairs well with your surgical procedures.
How long do mommy makeover results last?
Mommy Makeover results are long‑lasting, especially when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While natural aging continues, most women enjoy their improved contours for many years. Maintaining good skin care, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can help preserve your results beautifully.
