Pregnancy and motherhood bring indescribable joy—but they can also leave lasting effects on your body. From sagging breasts to stretched abdominal muscles and stubborn fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise, many women feel frustrated with their post-baby bodies.
That’s where a Mommy Makeover comes in.
At Dr. Janak Parikh’s Houston practice, we understand the physical and emotional journey of motherhood. As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Parikh offers personalized, artistic Mommy Makeovers to help you feel like you are again strong, confident, and radiant.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is not a single procedure it’s a fully customized surgical plan designed to address the physical changes that occur during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
It typically includes a combination of the following:
- Breast augmentation and/or breast lift
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Liposuction
- Breast reduction (if needed)
Each makeover is unique, tailored to your body, goals, and lifestyle.
Common Post-Pregnancy Body Changes a Mommy Makeover Can Address
1. Sagging or Deflated Breasts
Breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and hormonal shifts can lead to loss of volume and drooping. A breast lift and/or augmentation can restore youthful contour.
2. Stretched or Separated Abdominal Muscles
Known as diastasis recti, this separation causes a belly “pooch” in the upper part of the abdomen that won’t flatten without surgery. A tummy tuck repairs and tightens these muscles.
3. Excess Skin Around the Abdomen
Loose skin especially after C-sections or multiple pregnancies is removed through abdominoplasty, smoothing your midsection.
4. Stubborn Fat in Problem Areas
Liposuction can sculpt the waist, hips, thighs, and arms to restore a balanced, feminine figure.
5. Loss of Curves in the Buttocks
With fat transfer, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) adds volume and lift using your body’s own fat.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Are done having children
- Are close to your ideal weight
- Are at least 6 months post-pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Are in good health (no uncontrolled chronic conditions)
- Have realistic expectations about recovery and results
Dr. Parikh will evaluate your anatomy and medical history to ensure it’s safe to proceed.

FAQs
How soon after giving birth can I have a Mommy Makeover?
Typically, it’s best to wait 6–12 months after giving birth or breastfeeding to ensure your body has fully healed.
Will a Mommy Makeover remove stretch marks?
A tummy tuck can remove stretch marks located on the lower abdomen. Other areas may require non-surgical options.
Can I still have kids after a Mommy Makeover?
