Mommy Makeover Overview
Motherhood brings wonderful changes to your life, but the physical effects from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding often leave lasting modifications. The stretched abdominal muscles that exercise cannot repair, changes in breast volume and position, and stubborn fat deposits that resist dietary efforts represent structural alterations rather than temporary conditions that time will resolve.
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures strategically designed to address these specific post-pregnancy changes while enhancing areas you may have always wanted to improve. This comprehensive approach recognizes that certain physical changes require surgical intervention to restore pre-pregnancy contours while maintaining natural proportions.

Why Choose Dr. Roham for Your Mommy Makeover?
The complexity of mommy makeover surgery, which often combines three or more procedures during a single operation, requires surgical expertise that extends well beyond standard training. Dr. Roham's background in general and plastic surgery provides the comprehensive anatomical knowledge and technical precision necessary for safely managing extended surgical times, complex tissue handling, and the coordination required when performing multiple procedures simultaneously.
This attention to safety becomes particularly important in mommy makeover surgery, where longer anesthesia times and multiple surgical sites require experienced surgical judgment and meticulous technique.

Our Patients Are Saying...
Daniela L.
My experience with Dr. Ali Roham has always been a positive one. I appreciate going to this office for the simple fact that they do not try to push treatments or procedures to help me look better. This has happened to me in the past at another establishment, and I was completely turned off and will never go back.

I have been a patient of Dr. Roham for many years and this review is well overdue.
It's very rare to come across a plastic surgeon who is so humble, down to earth and is always smiling. He listens and provides options but mostly he makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Dr. Ali is amazing! I had breast augmentation 3 months ago and the pain was minimal to none. The results look and feel super natural. Minimal visible scarring. Dr. Ali's team has been super attentive to all of my concerns and questions, which made me feel at ease with the whole recovery process. Dr. Ali is the only surgeon I trust!
Darlene M.
Dr. Roham was recommended by a friend of mine who did her procedure with him. I truly must say his office is the best! I came in with my vision and he truly achieved it! His bedside manners are amazing! I had my liposuction 360, augmentation, and tummy tuck... What I loved most is Dr. Ali keeps your expectations realistic.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
Mommy makeover surgery combines multiple cosmetic procedures during a single operation to address the specific anatomical changes that occur during pregnancy and breastfeeding, typically focusing on the breasts and abdomen while potentially including additional body contouring procedures based on individual needs and goals.
The breast component addresses volume loss, shape changes, and position alterations that commonly occur after pregnancy and nursing, utilizing procedures such as breast augmentation to restore lost volume, breast lift to correct sagging and reposition the nipple-areola complex, or breast reduction for women whose breasts became uncomfortably large during pregnancy and never returned to their pre-pregnancy size.
Abdominal restoration typically involves tummy tuck surgery to repair separated rectus muscles (diastasis recti), remove excess skin that has lost elasticity, and eliminate fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise. This component often provides the most dramatic improvement in overall body contour, as it addresses structural changes that cannot be corrected through non-surgical means.
Additional procedures may include liposuction to refine body contours, remove stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the flanks or thighs, and enhance the overall harmony of results across multiple body regions. Dr. Roham carefully plans each mommy makeover to create balanced, natural-looking improvements while maintaining safe surgical time limits and ensuring optimal healing conditions.
Ideal Candidates for a Mommy Makeover
The most successful mommy makeover outcomes occur in patients who meet specific medical and lifestyle criteria that optimize both safety and aesthetic results:
Completed childbearing with no plans for future pregnancies
At least 6-12 months post-delivery and fully healed from childbirth
Finished breastfeeding with stable breast size for 3+ months
At or near stable target weight (not intended for significant weight loss)
Good overall health with well-controlled medical conditions
Realistic expectations about scarring, recovery time, and final results
Dr. Roham conducts comprehensive medical evaluations to ensure surgical candidacy, including assessment of cardiovascular health for longer procedures, review of any medical conditions that could impact healing, and discussion of lifestyle factors that influence surgical outcomes and recovery. This thorough evaluation process helps ensure both safety and satisfaction with final results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I wait after having a baby before getting a mommy makeover?
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6-12 months after delivery and 3-6 months after completely finishing breastfeeding to allow your body to fully recover and hormones to stabilize before undergoing elective surgery.
Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?
Yes, mommy makeover surgery does not affect your ability to have healthy pregnancies, but future pregnancies will likely compromise your results by re-stretching repaired muscles and skin, potentially requiring revision procedures to restore your improvements.
What's the difference between a mommy makeover and having procedures separately?
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures during one surgery, requiring only one recovery period and one anesthesia session, often providing better overall value and faster return to normal activities compared to staging procedures months apart.
How long is the surgery and recovery time?
Mommy makeover surgery typically takes 4-8 hours depending on the procedures included. Most patients need 2-3 weeks off work and 6-8 weeks before returning to normal exercise, with full recovery taking 3-6 months for final results to appear.
When can I exercise after my tummy tuck?
Light walking begins immediately after surgery. Most exercise can resume around 6-8 weeks, with full unrestricted activity typically cleared by 10-12 weeks, depending on healing progress.
Will I have visible scars?
All surgical procedures create scars, but Dr. Roham strategically places incisions to minimize visibility, typically along bikini lines and natural breast creases. Most scars fade significantly over 12-18 months and remain hidden under normal clothing and swimwear.
Can I breastfeed after breast surgery as part of a mommy makeover?
This depends on the specific breast procedures performed. While many women can breastfeed after breast augmentation or lift, there's always some risk of affecting milk production or delivery, which should be discussed thoroughly if future breastfeeding is important to you.
What are the risks of combining multiple procedures?
While combining procedures reduces overall risks compared to separate surgeries, mommy makeover does involve longer anesthesia time and more extensive surgery. Serious complications are rare when performed by qualified surgeons in accredited facilities with proper patient selection.
When can I lift my children again?
Most patients can lift small children (under 15-20 pounds) after 2-3 weeks, with full lifting restrictions lifted around 6-8 weeks. This timeline may vary based on your specific procedures and healing progress, making adequate childcare assistance essential during recovery.
