Mommy Makeover
in Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale Arkansas
A mommy makeover involves a combination of cosmetic surgeries designed to restore your pre-pregnancy body. One of the most customizable procedures available, mommy makeovers can be ideal for mothers who would like to correct some of the physical changes caused by pregnancy, as well as for women who would like to improve aesthetic concerns that can occur over the course of the natural aging process.
Pregnancy can have dramatic effects on a woman’s physique, including the development of “deflated,” sagging, or asymmetrical breasts, excess fat pockets in various body areas, and sagging skin on the abdomen. Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, effectively addressing these concerns can be virtually impossible without the help of one of our board certified plastic surgeons at Taylor Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. A mommy makeover can remove excess skin and improve elasticity, enhancing body contours while renewing the look and feel of the skin.
Depending on your specific cosmetic concerns, a mommy makeover can address your problem areas in an all-in-one procedure that produces comprehensive cosmetic rejuvenation. Our board-certified plastic surgeon can meet with you to talk about your options and determine whether this procedure is right for your needs.

A mommy makeover can include options that improve signs of:
- Aesthetic changes in the breasts caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or the natural aging process

What Does the Mommy Makeover Procedure Involve?
Once your specific mommy makeover treatments are chosen during the initial consultation our plastic surgeon can provide more details about the surgical process. In many cases, a mommy makeover can be performed in a single operation; in others, it may be recommended to stage the procedure over a series of appointments. While many mommy makeovers can be performed on an outpatient basis, an overnight hospital stay may be advised for some patients.

What Can I Expect During Mommy Makeover Recovery?
The recovery experience after a mommy makeover can be different among individual patients based on the customized treatment plan. With that in mind, there are some general expectations to consider:
- Certain procedures (such as tummy tuck surgery) may require the placement of drains to aid the healing process. In many cases, drains can be removed after approximately one to two weeks.
- A long-lasting anesthetic called EXPAREL® may be applied. This can be very helpful for pain management in the early stages of the recovery process as it progressively releases a numbing medication in the treatment area for a short time following surgery.
- Some extent of swelling and bruising can be expected in the treated areas; however, these are common after surgery and should dissipate during recovery.
- It is important to avoid rushing the recovery process. Your body will need some time to heal and recuperate.
We will provide a detailed guideline for recovery based on the procedures included in your mommy makeover, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
How Long Will Mommy Makeover Results Last?
Results from a mommy makeover should continue to improve up to three months after surgery as the swelling decreases. It is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine for long-lasting results. Unless you become pregnant, gain a significant amount of weight, or undergo other lifestyle changes, your results should last for many years.
