Let Your Body Heal Before a Mommy Makeover
Having a child is such a wonderful experience, but as you know, it can change a woman’s body in many ways. There might come a time when diet and exercise simply can’t give you the results you’re looking for. But the big question from our patients is…
How long do I have to wait to get a mommy makeover?
Giving birth, while a beautiful time in a woman’s life, takes a toll on the body. Not only aesthetically, but physically. It’s incredibly important to give your body time to heal after delivery. A woman’s body will also make its own natural changes following delivery, and Dr. Brown likes to see those changes happen before presenting plastic surgery as an option.

Usually a woman’s body will be completely healed and ready for a surgical procedure after a few months. During those months a few things will happen:
- The breast tissue will no longer be engorged with milk
- The ‘baby weight’ will start to diminish
- A c-section will have healed (if applicable)
Mommy makeovers will address a few areas of the body that we have chosen as the problem areas for women after childbirth. The mommy makeover includes the following cosmetic procedures:
- Tummy tuck
- Breast augmentation and/or breast lift
- Liposuction
