Mommy Makeover in Weston, FL
Motherhood is a source of great joy and unforgettable memories. However, many women are left feeling self-conscious about the inevitable changes their bodies experience following the birth of one or more children.
A Mommy Makeover combines plastic surgery procedures that target the areas most affected by childbearing to help women regain control of their post-pregnancy bodies.
Are You a Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding often lead to diet and exercise-resistant pockets of fat, loose abdominal muscles, sagging or deflated breasts, and even stretched-out vaginal tissue.
While Mommy Makeovers are designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and childbirth, the procedures commonly included can also help non-mothers.
If you have two or more cosmetic concerns related to your midsection and breasts due to significant weight loss, aging, or other situations, a Mommy Makeover might be the solution you’re looking for.
This combination of surgeries may involve cosmetic breast surgery and body sculpting. This treatment can also be customized to include labiaplasty.
Good candidates for a Mommy Makeover are healthy, do not use tobacco or other nicotine products, and have no plans for future pregnancies.

What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
The Mommy Makeover is tailored to meet the unique needs of women struggling with the appearance of their bodies, typically after weight loss or pregnancy, and offers several benefits:
- A more toned and balanced figure
- Renewed sensuality
- Improved self-image
- Feeling more confident in a bathing suit or nothing at all
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in Florida?
Because it’s a combination of two or more cosmetic surgeries, your Mommy Makeover cost will depend on several factors:
- The procedures you choose
- The skill and experience of your surgeon
- Preoperative testing needs
- Surgery center and anesthesiologist fees
- Postoperative care needs
It’s essential to consult with a reputable and qualified cosmetic surgeon when considering a Mommy Makeover, as cutting costs can lead to unsatisfactory results at best and serious complications that threaten your health at worst.
Dr. Messa is a double board-certified plastic surgeon committed to safely delivering excellent results. At Weston Cosmetic Surgery Center, you can count on the highest level of care that starts during your consultation, after which an inclusive Mommy Makeover cost quote is provided.
Before Your Mommy Makeover
Your Mommy Makeover experience starts with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Messa, who will listen carefully to your concerns and desired outcome. After examining the areas you would like to address and reviewing your medical history, he will explain your options, potential results, and what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
You will also have a chance to look at some before and after photos of our other patients’ Mommy Makeover results.
If Dr. Messa determines that you are a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover and you decide to move forward, our financial coordinator will meet with you to discuss costs and financing options.
Your surgery will be scheduled, and instructions will be provided to explain any required preoperative testing and medications, supplements, and lifestyle habits to avoid.
You must arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and stay with you for at least 24 hours. We recommend you pick up any medications needed for recovery before surgery.
What Are My Mommy Makeover Options?
A Mommy Makeover focuses on improving your body’s aesthetic, and cosmetic facial surgeries must be performed separately.
Your Mommy Makeover options include the following. However, because this combination of procedures is highly customized, you can talk to Dr. Messa about other surgeries you may be interested in, such as an arm, thigh, or body lift.
Breast Augmentation
Dr. Messa offers breast enlargement surgery to enhance the shape and volume of your breasts. From saline to silicone implants available in many sizes to various incision and placement options, you can customize your breast size to suit your lifestyle.
Breast Lift
If you are happy with the size of your breasts but want to correct sagging, a breast lift can restore a more youthful-looking bustline. Breast lift surgery can also be combined with breast augmentation for dramatic results.
Breast Reduction
Women with very large breasts can relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain with breast reduction. This procedure is almost always combined with a breast lift.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, can do wonders to slim your waist and flatten your belly. This procedure can also repair loose core muscles and is often combined with liposuction to dislodge and remove residual fat.
Liposuction
Localized areas of stubborn fat can be suctioned for smoother contours and a more fit appearance using liposuction.
Labiaplasty
Whether you’ve never been happy with the size or shape of your labia or if it has become stretched due to childbirth, labiaplasty surgery can provide a more symmetrical vaginal opening and enhanced comfort.
During Your Mommy Makeover Procedure
A Mommy Makeover is usually performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. Depending on your chosen procedures, Dr. Messa will make the appropriate and agreed-upon incisions to improve the appearance of your breasts, midsection, and other areas of concern.
Dr. Messa and your anesthesiologist will continuously monitor you to ensure your safety.
After Dr. Messa closes the incisions, you will be dressed in compression garments to aid in proper healing and minimize swelling, then brought into the recovery room. Dr. Messa will check in and provide aftercare instructions when you wake up.
After Your Mommy Makeover
Your driver will drive you home, and they or someone else should be there to help you settle into a comfortable resting spot with plenty of water to drink and an easily digestible meal to eat when you are hungry. We recommend having someone at home with you for the first day or two.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
You can expect to experience bruising, swelling, and some discomfort, especially for the first three days, which should start to subside considerably by the end of the first week. Use your pain medication as directed and cold compresses to help with any pain.
Many patients can return to sedentary work by the middle or end of the second week.
Short, gentle walks are recommended, but strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for six weeks or until cleared to resume by Dr. Messa.
When Will I See Results After Mommy Makeover Surgery?
You will be able to see changes to your body soon after undergoing your Mommy Makeover as swelling and bruising dissipates. However, your results will not be final for up to six months, depending on your chosen procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is a Mommy Makeover painful?
Your Mommy Makeover will be performed under general anesthesia to prevent pain during the procedure. You may experience some pain and discomfort following the surgery, though this can be remedied with prescribed pain medication.
-
Can I have additional children after a Mommy Makeover?
While a Mommy Makeover will not prevent you from having children or be harmful to future children, it is recommended that you postpone your surgery until you are finished having kids. Additional pregnancies can affect, disrupt, or reverse the results of your Mommy Makeover.
-
What is scarring like after a Mommy Makeover?
Scarring from a Mommy Makeover varies depending on the procedures performed, your body’s healing abilities, and your skin tone. Since incisions are necessary for all procedures included in a Mommy Makeover, scarring is inevitable. However, Dr. Messa will work to place these incisions in discreet, easily concealable areas, and the scars will fade over time.
-
How long does a Mommy Makeover take to perform?
The length of your Mommy Makeover will depend on which procedures are being performed and the amount of correction needed. Generally, a Mommy Makeover takes around four to five hours to complete. If it is expected to take longer, Dr. Messa may recommend splitting the procedure into two operations.
-
How can I maintain my Mommy Makeover results?
The results of your Mommy Makeover are long lasting, barring additional pregnancies or significant weight fluctuations. We recommend a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a nutritious diet. While your Mommy Makeover will substantially enhance your figure, it will not prevent future aging or weight gain.
-
What complications are associated with a Mommy Makeover?
Although rare, possible complications can include:
- Anesthesia risks
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Swelling
- Poor scarring
- Irregular healing
