What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a customizable set of surgical procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It typically includes some combination of a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, and breast augmentation. Every makeover is tailored to address your individual goals and body type. By targeting multiple areas in one procedure, a mommy makeover can deliver comprehensive and lasting results with just a single recovery period.
How Does Mommy Makeover Work?
The process starts with a personal consultation with Dr. Mariotti, where you’ll discuss your goals and medical history. From there, your mommy makeover will be planned based on your specific concerns—whether you want to lift and reshape your breasts, tighten your midsection, or smooth stubborn fat areas. All procedures are performed at our fully accredited surgical center in Concord, typically under general anesthesia. Recovery time varies, but most patients are back to light activity in just a few weeks.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
Choosing a mommy makeover offers several powerful benefits. With just one surgery, you can address multiple post-pregnancy concerns, such as sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, and unwanted fat. This combination approach means less downtime and more dramatic, harmonious results. Beyond the physical improvements, many women report feeling a renewed sense of confidence and vitality. Best of all, your mommy makeover is designed just for you—so you get the results you want, faster and more effectively.
Can Mommy Makeover be paired with other treatments?
Absolutely! Many women choose to pair their mommy makeover with non-surgical treatments to further enhance their results. Options like BOTOX®, dermal fillers, or laser treatments can help rejuvenate your facial appearance while your body is healing. Some also combine it with labiaplasty or skin tightening procedures for a complete transformation. During your consultation, the best additions will be recommended to maximize your results and give you a refreshed, youthful look from head to toe.
The Best Candidates
Your body’s reaction to motherhood can show itself in any number of ways, from persistent areas of fat and excess abdominal skin to sagging, deflated breasts.
The best candidates for a mommy makeover have multiple appearance concerns that are typically due to the aftereffects of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood on the body.
Like your body and your experience with pregnancy, each woman’s reasons for having a mommy makeover are unique. Dr. Mariotti will work with you at your consultation to come up with a surgery plan that suits you.
Every mommy makeover East Bay plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Mariotti performs is as unique as each woman’s body.

Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before a Mommy Makeover
Before your mommy makeover in Concord, you’ll meet with Dr. Mariotti for a thorough consultation. This includes a review of your health history, a physical evaluation, and a detailed discussion of your goals. Dr. Mariotti will recommend a custom plan to help you get the best outcome. You’ll receive pre-op instructions, including guidance on medications to avoid, how to prepare your home for recovery, and what to expect on the day of surgery.
What To Expect During a Mommy Makeover
After anesthesia is administered, your customized procedure will begin. This might involve a tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, or liposuction. Dr. Mariotti uses advanced techniques to minimize incisions and enhance results. Surgery typically takes from three to six hours, and you’ll recover in our post-op area until you’re ready to return home or stay overnight, depending on your case.
What To Expect After a Mommy Makeover
Whenever possible, Dr. Mariotti will make any incisions for breast and body contouring procedures in locations easily hidden by undergarments or swimwear. Incisions will be red or pink initially but should fade over time.
After your mommy makeover, the combination of breast enhancement plus body contouring should leave your figure looking and feeling like your pre-baby days…or even a little bit better!
In the days following your mommy makeover in, it’s important to rest and follow all post-operative instructions. Most women experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness, which gradually improves over the first couple of weeks. Compression garments may be recommended to support healing and enhance results. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, but strenuous activity should be avoided. You’ll attend follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure a smooth recovery every step of the way.
