Mommy Makeover FAQ


Is mommy makeover surgery safe?

The procedure is safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive body contouring experience. It’s a good idea to check the surgeon’s credentials, read their patient reviews, and view their before and after mommy makeover patient photo gallery.


Can you have more children after a mommy makeover?

While it’s possible to become pregnant and have more children after a mommy makeover, it’s not recommended. Dr. Newall suggests postponing mommy makeover surgery until you have finished having children and breastfeeding. Subsequent pregnancies can negatively affect your beautifully rejuvenated figure.


Does a mommy makeover leave scars?

All surgeries leave scars. However, Dr. Newall skillfully places your incisions in discreet areas so they’re well hidden by underwear or swimwear. He provides detailed postoperative instructions and recommendations to minimize scarring. Additionally, mommy makeover scars significantly flatten and fade over time.


How long do mommy makeover results last?

Although nothing can stop the aging process, your mommy makeover results should last for many years with proper self-care. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps you preserve your dream body. Breast implants may need to be replaced after 10 years or more.
