Mommy Makeover
Why
Women Choose
a Mommy Makeover
…..
Pregnancy and childbirth can bring beautiful changes — but they can also leave lasting effects on the body that don’t respond to diet and exercise. A mommy makeover is a fully customized combination of procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy shape, enhance your confidence, and help you feel like yourself again.
Common reasons women choose a mommy makeover include:
- Loose abdominal skin or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Sagging or deflated breasts after breastfeeding
- Stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise
- Changes in body proportions or symmetry
- Wanting a single, efficient recovery rather than multiple surgeries
- Desire to feel confident in their body after having children
What to Expect (Procedure Overview)
Every Mommy Makeover at Selarom is unique. We tailor your procedure plan based on your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle, combining multiple surgeries into one carefully coordinated experience.
Consultation & Planning
We begin with an in-depth consultation to assess your body, review your goals, and identify the best combination of procedures. Dr. Schmelzer will help you decide which areas to target and how to achieve the most natural, balanced results.
Surgery Day
Mommy makeover surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical suite. Depending on your plan, it may include a tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction. The procedure typically lasts 3–6 hours depending on the number of areas addressed.
Recovery
Most patients return home the same day or stay overnight depending on the extent of surgery. Initial swelling and soreness are expected for 1–2 weeks. Light activity typically resumes in 7–10 days, with full recovery over the course of 6–8 weeks. We provide detailed post-op instructions to support healing.
Your Safety, Always
We ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery and that your procedure plan aligns with your long-term health and wellness. All surgeries are performed with safety, precision, and comfort in mind.
Procedure Combinations & Customization Options
Mommy makeovers are all about personalization. We help you decide which combination of procedures will bring you the best results with the least amount of downtime.
Procedures Commonly Included:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) – Flattens and firms the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening muscles
- Breast Lift or Augmentation – Restores shape, volume, and lift to the breasts
- Liposuction – Removes stubborn fat from the flanks, thighs, abdomen, or arms
- Implant Exchange or Removal – May be performed if you had prior augmentation
Personalized Choices Include:
- Procedure selection – Based on your goals, lifestyle, and anatomy
- Timing – Some patients prefer to stage procedures, while others choose to combine them
- Implant decisions – For patients who want to add or update breast implants
- Scar placement – Incisions are planned carefully to be as discreet as possible
Tailored Techniques
No two bodies — or births — are the same. Your mommy makeover is designed specifically for you, with a clear plan to enhance your natural shape and restore balance across the torso and breasts.
Dr. Schmelzer will guide you through every option, help you set realistic expectations, and build a plan that supports your confidence and comfort — inside and out.

Is a mommy makeover safe to have all at once?
Yes — when performed by an experienced surgeon, combining procedures is safe and efficient. We thoroughly evaluate your health and customize the surgical plan for optimal safety and outcomes.
Can I still have children after a mommy makeover?
Yes, but future pregnancies may affect your results. For best long-term results, we recommend waiting until you’re done having children.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Aging will continue naturally, but most improvements are permanent.
