The Essentials Makeover
At Plastic Surgery Essentials, our Essentials Makeover is the ultimate mommy makeover—a fully personalized combination of breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. This all-inclusive surgical package is designed to restore and enhance your body after pregnancy or significant weight changes.
A New You is Within Reach
Many women find that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding lead to long-term changes in their bodies, such as stretched abdominal muscles, sagging breasts, and stubborn fat deposits, that can’t be corrected with diet and exercise alone.
The Essentials Makeover is the Plastic Surgery Essentials signature approach to the mommy makeover. Our customized surgical combination of breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction is designed to restore your pre-pregnancy figure and help you feel confident again.
This comprehensive approach to body contouring can help you feel more confident in and out of your clothes, with results that reflect the strength and beauty of your journey. While cosmetic surgery does result in some scarring, our skilled plastic surgeons place incisions carefully to ensure they’re as discreet as possible. With time and proper aftercare, these scars typically fade and become far less noticeable.
During your personalized consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeons will discuss your goals and help you create a tailored mommy makeover treatment plan. Whether you’re hoping to lift and enhance your breasts, achieve a flatter abdomen, or sculpt your waist and thighs, the Essentials Makeover is designed to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results for women ready to reclaim their bodies and confidence.

How is a tummy tuck different from liposuction?
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty removes loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, which are often stretched or separated after pregnancy. It also eliminates some excess fat in the midsection. Liposuction, on the other hand, specifically targets and removes fat deposits from stubborn areas like the hips, thighs, flanks, or back. Many patients benefit from having both procedures to create a smoother, flatter, more contoured midsection.
What is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation?
A breast lift or mastopexy raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple to a more youthful location. It’s ideal for correcting sagging and deflation. Breast augmentation uses saline or silicone implants to restore or enhance volume. Some patients choose to have both procedures at once to achieve fuller, lifted breasts with improved shape and projection.
How long does recovery take after surgery?
Initial recovery usually takes 1–2 weeks, with light activity resuming shortly after. Full recovery including return to exercise or lifting, takes approximately 6–8 weeks. You’ll have regular follow-ups with your surgeon to monitor progress. Will I lose weight from the Essentials Makeover?
While the procedure will reshape and contour your body, it’s not intended as a weight-loss solution. The best results are achieved when you’re already close to your ideal body weight. However, removing excess skin and fat can result in looking and feeling leaner, lighter, and more toned.
Can I have the Essentials Makeover if I’m not a mom?
Yes! While often referred to as a “mommy makeover,” the Essentials Makeover is for anyone who has experienced body changes due to weight fluctuations, aging, or other life events, not just motherhood. If you’re interested in multiple body contouring procedures to restore confidence in your appearance, this makeover may be a great option for you.
When is the best time to get a mommy makeover?
We recommend waiting until you’re done having children and have reached a stable weight before undergoing the Essentials Makeover. This ensures your results last longer and aren’t affected by future pregnancies or major body changes. Many patients choose to have this procedure 6–12 months after childbirth once their bodies have fully healed and breastfeeding is complete.
Are the results permanent?
The results of a mommy makeover are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle. While your body will continue to age naturally, maintaining a consistent weight, staying active, and avoiding future pregnancies will help preserve your results for years to come.
Is combining procedures safe?
Our board-certified surgeons follow the highest standards of safety and care. Performing all procedures in one session minimizes anesthesia events and allows for better coordinated healing and results. We thoroughly review risks, including infection, seroma, scarring, anesthesia response, and implant complications.
