A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the physical changes pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can bring — typically affecting the breasts, abdomen, and body contour. It’s not a single operation with a fixed menu. It’s a surgical plan built specifically around you and what has changed for you.
Most mommy makeovers combine some version of breast work (augmentation, lift, or both) with abdominal restoration (tummy tuck with or without muscle repair) and liposuction where needed. Because procedures are performed together, patients go through one surgery and one recovery instead of multiple separate ones.
The best candidates for a mommy makeover are women who have finished having children, are at or near a stable, healthy weight, are in good overall health, and are non-smokers or willing to stop well before surgery. It’s important to be at a stable weight first — a subsequent pregnancy or significant weight change after surgery can affect results.
There’s no right timeline. Some patients pursue a mommy makeover when their youngest child starts school. Others wait longer. What matters is that your body has had time to fully recover from pregnancy and nursing, and that your weight has been steady for several months before we talk about surgery.
Mommy makeover recovery varies based on which procedures are combined, but most patients plan for two to three weeks away from work and normal activity, with restrictions on lifting and exercise for four to six weeks. Because the procedures are done together, recovery is consolidated — one downtime period instead of multiple.
Results are long-lasting when weight remains stable and patients have finished having children. Breast implants and lifts are not permanent, but results typically last many years before revision is considered.
Dr. Freedland performs every procedure personally. You won’t be handed off to a resident or junior provider. He’ll also be involved in your follow-up care throughout your recovery — not just present at the surgery itself.
Consultations are unhurried. Dr. Freedland takes the time to understand your goals, explain your options honestly, and help you decide which procedures are right for you — without pressure and without a pre-set package.

A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic surgery procedures designed to address the physical changes that pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing can cause. Most commonly, it includes some combination of breast lift or augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction. It’s not a fixed procedure — the specific combination is customized to each patient based on their anatomy and goals.
Good candidates are women who have finished having children, are at or near a stable and healthy weight, are in good overall health, and are non-smokers or willing to stop before surgery. Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting until your youngest child is at least six months old and you have fully weaned from breastfeeding. Dr. Freedland will assess your candidacy personally during your consultation.
Most patients take two to three weeks off work and normal activities, with restrictions on lifting and vigorous exercise for four to six weeks. Recovery time depends on which procedures are included and the extent of each. Because multiple procedures are done together, patients go through one recovery period rather than separate ones for each surgery.
Yes, you can safely become pregnant after a mommy makeover, but a subsequent pregnancy will likely affect the results. Breast changes and abdominal stretching from another pregnancy can partially reverse the surgical outcomes. For that reason, most surgeons — including Dr. Freedland — recommend waiting until you are confident your family is complete before pursuing this surgery.
Most mommy makeovers are performed in a single surgical session, which allows patients to recover once rather than multiple times. For more extensive procedures, or when patient safety considerations make a shorter operation preferable, staging the procedures across two sessions is also an option. Dr. Freedland will recommend the safest and most effective approach for your specific situation.
Cost varies based on which procedures are included, the complexity of each, and anesthesia and facility fees. At Freedland MD, pricing is transparent — you’ll receive a full, itemized estimate before making any decisions. Financing options are available. The best way to get an accurate figure is a consultation with Dr. Freedland, where he can assess your goals and recommend a specific plan.
