Best Time to Schedule a Mommy Makeover After Having Kids

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover combines cosmetic procedures to restore your body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Common treatments include a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction, with each treatment plan customized to your goals.

When Is the Best Time to Schedule a Mommy Makeover?

Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting before getting a mommy makeover until several important milestones have been reached, including:

• You have finished having children: Future pregnancies can stretch the skin and abdominal muscles again, which may affect your surgical results.
• Your weight has been stable for several months: A consistent weight helps create more predictable, long-lasting body contouring results.
• You are no longer breastfeeding: Waiting until you’ve stopped breastfeeding allows your breasts to return to a more stable size and shape before surgery.
• Your body has had time to heal: Most women benefit from waiting at least six months after childbirth, though your timeline may vary based on your recovery.
• You can plan for recovery: Arranging childcare, household help, and time away from work can make your recovery smoother and less stressful.
• You are in good overall health: Being physically healthy before surgery supports proper healing and helps reduce the risk of complications.
