What is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a custom combination of cosmetic procedures designed to address the most common post-pregnancy concerns in a single, coordinated surgical plan. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can stretch skin, weaken abdominal muscles, and change breast shape and volume—even in women who maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

By combining procedures, a mommy makeover allows you to:

  • Address multiple areas at once
  • Minimize overall downtime
  • Recover through one coordinated healing process

Each mommy makeover is tailored to your body, goals, and lifestyle.

A mommy makeover in Newport Beach at Wirth Plastic Surgery can help you achieve:

Am I a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

You may be an excellent candidate for a mommy makeover if you:

  • Are bothered by physical changes from pregnancy or childbirth
  • Are finished breastfeeding
  • Are close to your goal weight and maintaining a stable weight
  • Are in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

When Should I Consider a Mommy Makeover?

Most patients consider a mommy makeover when:

  • They are at least 6 months postpartum
  • They have completed breastfeeding
  • Their weight has been stable for several months
  • They are finished having children (to preserve long-term results)
  • They are non-smokers or willing to stop nicotine use before and after surgery


Dr. Wirth will help determine the safest timing for your procedure during your consultation.

Real Mommy Makeover Patient Review

Had my breast implants and tummy tuck done in one visit. I wish I had done this sooner. I am so happy with the results. I feel absolutely wonderful. I'm proud of my body. I felt very comfortable and so trusting of his expertise to help me. He is just the kindest and most compassionate man I know. He truly listens to what I really wanted. I wanted natural looking breasts. My breasts feel so natural and it's amazing that silicone could look and feel this way. My belly is as flat and hard as any fit belly would be. I highly recommend Dr. Wirth.

How Does a Mommy Makeover Work?

Every mommy makeover is fully customized. During your consultation, Dr. Wirth will evaluate your concerns and design a surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Your mommy makeover may include one or more of the following procedures:

    Removes excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer midsection.
  • Breast Augmentation
    Enhances breast volume and symmetry using implants for natural-looking fullness.
  • Breast Lift
    Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts while repositioning the nipples for a youthful contour.
  • Liposuction
    Removes stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet or exercise.
  • Labiaplasty 
    (Optional) Improves comfort and appearance by reshaping excess labial tissue.

Mommy Makeover FAQs

What does a mommy makeover cost?

Can a mommy makeover help me lose weight?

A mommy makeover is not a weight loss procedure, but when fat and tissue is removed, you will lose some weight. The goal is to resculpt and restore your body. You may need lliposuction to remove fatty deposits at the waist, buttocks, and thighs, so you will lose some weight through that process.

Do I have to be a mom to get a mommy makeover?

Dr. Wirth performs custom body recontouring for any person, man or woman, who has lost a great deal of weight after bariatric surgery or diet and exercise. You do not have to be a mother to undergo our custom body recontouring treatments.

What kind of anesthesia will be used in a mommy makeover?

You may be put under general anesthesia or under intravenous sedation with local anesthesia. The type of anesthesia will be chosen based upon the extent of the corrections you need, with a focus on what would be safest for your health.

How long does a mommy makeover surgery take?

If you are having a tummy tuck and a breast lift, lift with augmentation, or other breast surgery, you can expect your surgery to take in the range of three hours to complete.

When will I be able to drive after my mommy makeover?

You will not be allowed to operate a vehicle until you are off painkillers (which is about one week or less), and your full range of motion is restored.

When can I wear a bathing suit?

Most people feel “beach ready” within about two to three months, after residual swelling is gone.

When can I wear a real bra after my mommy makeover?

If your breasts have been restored as part of your mommy makeover, you will need to hold off on wearing a standard underwire bra until the incisions are fully healed, at about the six-week mark.

What kind of anesthesia will be used in a mommy makeover?

You may be put under general anesthesia or under intravenous sedation with local anesthesia. The type of anesthesia will be chosen based upon the extent of the corrections you need, with a focus on what would be safest for your health.

When can I lift my child again?

Most patients can resume lifting their child after 4–6 weeks, depending on healing progress and the procedures included in their mommy makeover.
