Mommy Makeovers in Newport Beach, CA
Mommy Makeover Surgery
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can be some of life’s most joyful experiences but often leave physical changes to a woman’s body that diet and exercise can’t fix.
A Mommy Makeover addresses these lasting effects on the breasts, abdomen, and other areas prone to pockets of stubborn fat. Our experienced plastic surgeon provides Mommy Makeovers in Newport Beach, CA, personalized to meet each patient’s unique breast and body rejuvenation goals.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to correct the effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
Common procedures in Mommy Makeover procedures include cosmetic breast surgeries, natural breast augmentation, tummy tucks, labiaplasties, and liposuction.
These procedures can be performed simultaneously or in stages depending on the patient’s health, cosmetic goals, and the number of surgeries needed to achieve their desired outcome. A Mommy Makeover is designed to restore youthful pre-pregnancy body contours by removing diet and exercise-resistant fat while correcting sagging breasts, loose skin, and stretched abdominal muscles.
What Benefits Does a Mommy Makeover Offer?
The benefits of a Mommy Makeover can transcend the physical. Those who undergo this combination of procedures often experience a significant boost of confidence and an enhanced body image, as well as the following:
- Comprehensive Body Rejuvenation: Multiple areas of the body are addressed in one surgery, saving time and providing more cohesive results.
- Youthful Breast Contours: A breast lift or fat grafting augmentation restores a youthful upper body appearance, addressing sagging breasts and improving breast shape.
- A Tighter and Flatter Abdomen: A tummy tuck fixes separated abdominal muscles and removes excess skin for a smoother, more defined abdomen.
- Individualized Surgical Approach: At Scultura Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, every Mommy Makeover is customized according to the patient’s needs.
- Increased Self-Confidence: Many women feel self-conscious about their bodies after one or more pregnancies. A Mommy Makeover can help women regain that confidence by restoring the appearance of their pre-baby body.

How Are Mommy Makeovers Performed?
Before your Mommy Makeover, you will meet with Dr. Strawn for an initial consultation. Your consultation is an important step where Dr. Strawn can discuss your specific concerns and goals, review your medical history and current medications, and thoroughly examine the treatment areas. Dr. Strawn will create a customized surgical treatment plan based on your needs and expectations. Your consultation is an opportunity for you to ask any questions to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with your Mommy Makeover procedure.
A Mommy Makeover is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia and usually takes three to five hours to complete, depending on the number of procedures involved. These procedures typically include cosmetic breast and body contouring surgeries:
- A breast lift repositions and recontours sagging breasts. This surgery removes excess breast skin and shapes the breast tissue for a younger, perkier appearance. The nipples and areolas are raised to a higher, more youthful position.
- Natural breast augmentation surgery restores or adds volume using autologous fat grafting. Fat grafting not only adds volume naturally in place of silicone or saline implants but also allows more precise shaping and contouring along with improvements in symmetry.
- A breast reduction can reduce volume and relieve back or shoulder pain by removing excess breast tissue and fat. This surgery is similar to a breast lift but addresses very large, heavy breasts.
- Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, removes excess, loose abdominal skin and residual fat while repairing separated core muscles for a flatter, more defined midsection.
How Can Fat Grafting Be Used in a Mommy Makeover?
Fat grafting can maximize Mommy Makeover results by using liposuction to remove unwanted fat and adding it to the breasts and buttocks for increased natural volume. Fat grafting is an excellent option for patients who want a natural alternative to implants or want liposuction and subtle breast enhancement with a breast lift.
What Is Mommy Makeover Recovery Like?
After a Mommy Makeover, patients need a safe, stress-free, and comfortable place to rest and heal. Recovery times vary depending on the number and extent of the surgeries, but swelling, bruising, and discomfort can be expected during the first few weeks. It’s important to follow all of Dr. Strawn’s post-operative instructions, which may include wearing compression garments to alleviate swelling and support healing and attending all follow-up appointments. These instructions are vital to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible results. Dr. Strawn and his team will be there to support you throughout your recovery.
What Results Can Be Expected From a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover can provide permanent or long-lasting results as long as a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle are maintained. After the healing process is complete, patients can expect to see a more youthful breast appearance, flatter abdomen, and improved body contours. Final results can take several months to become visible, but many patients see significant improvements in their figure and quality of life shortly after their Mommy Makeover.
