Understanding Your Mommy Makeover Package Options
Mommy makeover packages are customized combinations of cosmetic procedures designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy body. Pregnancy and childbirth often leave lasting physical changes that diet and exercise alone cannot reverse.
What’s typically included in mommy makeover packages:
- Breast procedures – Augmentation, lift, or reduction to address volume loss and sagging
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) – Removes excess skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles
- Liposuction – Targets stubborn fat in the abdomen, hips, thighs, or flanks
- Additional options – Arm lift, thigh lift, or labiaplasty based on individual needs
Key benefits: A single surgical session and recovery period, comprehensive results, and potential cost savings.
Cost range: $14,000 to $22,500+, depending on the procedures you choose.
These packages are not one-size-fits-all; your surgeon creates a personalized plan to address your specific goals.

What is a Mommy Makeover and Who is it For?
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic surgical procedures designed to restore your body after pregnancy and childbirth. It’s a comprehensive plan addressing concerns like stretched abdominal skin, separated muscles (diastasis recti), volume loss in breasts, and stubborn fat.
Mommy makeover packages are not weight loss tools. The goal is contouring and restoration, not significant weight reduction. For the best, most lasting results, we recommend being close to your ideal weight before surgery.
If you’re deciding if the timing is right, our guide on When to Consider a Mommy Makeover can help.
Who is a Good Candidate?
We look at several factors to ensure you’re positioned for a safe surgery and beautiful results.
You’ve finished having children. Future pregnancies can reverse the improvements, especially to your abdomen and breasts. Waiting until your family is complete ensures your results last.
Your weight has been stable for at least six months. Significant weight changes can affect your results. Ideally, your BMI should be under 30.
You’re in good overall health. This helps minimize risks and ensures your body can heal properly. We’ll discuss any health concerns during your consultation.
You don’t smoke. Smoking seriously interferes with healing. We require patients to stop smoking at least one month before and after surgery for your safety.
You have realistic expectations. A mommy makeover can be transformative, but it’s not magic. We’ll have an honest conversation about what’s possible for your body.
You’ve stopped breastfeeding for at least six months. This allows your breasts to settle into their new size and shape before any breast procedure.

The Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
Choosing a mommy makeover is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about feeling like yourself again.
One surgery, one recovery. Instead of multiple procedures spaced out over time, you address all your concerns at once. This means one anesthesia session, one recovery period, and less time away from your life.
Comprehensive results. By treating your breasts, abdomen, and other areas in a single plan, we create balanced, natural-looking results that are proportionate to your entire body.
Restored confidence. Our patients consistently report feeling more comfortable and confident in their bodies, which positively affects all aspects of their lives.
Better fitting clothes. Many women are thrilled to wear their pre-pregnancy wardrobe again or feel excited about shopping for new clothes that fit and flatter their restored figure.
Physical relief. Repairing separated abdominal muscles can reduce back pain and improve core strength, while a breast lift can alleviate neck and shoulder discomfort. These are quality-of-life improvements.

Building Your Custom Procedure Plan
What’s great about mommy makeover packages is that they are built around you—your unique body and personal goals. Every woman’s body responds to pregnancy differently.
At Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we don’t use cookie-cutter solutions. During your consultation, we’ll listen to your concerns and design a treatment plan that addresses exactly what you want to change. This personalized approach is what creates natural, beautiful results. To get a sense of what might be in your plan, see our guide on What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?.
What Can Be Included in Mommy Makeover Packages?
While every plan is customized, these are the most common components:
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is often the cornerstone. Pregnancy can separate abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), which exercise can’t fix. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat and repairs these muscles, which is the key to restoring a flat, firm midsection.
Breast Augmentation restores volume lost during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Using either silicone or saline implants, we can improve fullness and projection to achieve your desired breast shape.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy) addresses sagging by repositioning the nipple, removing excess skin, and reshaping breast tissue for a perkier appearance. It is often combined with an augmentation for both lift and volume.
Liposuction targets stubborn fat on the abdomen, hips, flanks (love handles), thighs, or back to create smoother contours. It’s a contouring tool, not a weight loss solution, and there are safety limits on how much fat can be removed in one session.
We can also incorporate arm lifts, thigh lifts, or labiaplasty. We’ll only recommend what makes sense for your goals. For more details, see A Breakdown of the Most Popular Mommy Makeover Procedures.
Can a Mommy Makeover Address Facial Changes?
Motherhood is exhausting, and it can show on your face. The good news is we can incorporate non-surgical facial rejuvenation into your plan for a complete head-to-toe refresh.
Botox is excellent for smoothing expression lines like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Results typically last about four months or more with minimal downtime.
Dermal Fillers restore lost volume by plumping lips, softening smile lines, or filling hollows under the eyes. Results can last from 6 to 12 months, with immediate improvement.
Combining these treatments with your body procedures can achieve a truly comprehensive, revitalized look. For additional wellness tips, you might enjoy The Well by Northwell for wellness tips.
The Journey: From Consultation to Full Recovery
Deciding on a mommy makeover is a big step, and our team at Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery is here to guide you through the entire process. Your surgical plan will be customized, but the procedure is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort. We coordinate every step to ensure your safety and achieve beautiful, natural-looking results. For an overview of the process, see our guide on What to Expect During a Mommy Makeover.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your consultation is where we get to know you and your goals. We’ll have a genuine conversation about what you’d like to change, followed by a physical exam. We’ll also review your medical history to create a safe, effective surgical plan custom to you.
Based on this, we’ll propose a customized treatment plan, explaining each procedure, incision placement, and realistic outcomes. This is your opportunity to ask questions, and we encourage you to come prepared. Our guide with 5 Questions to Ask During Your Mommy Makeover Consultation in Atlanta can help. We’ll also show you before-and-after photos of patients with similar concerns to help you visualize the possibilities.
How to Prepare for Surgery
Proper preparation is key for a smooth surgery and recovery. We will provide detailed, personalized instructions.
- Get medical clearance from your primary physician.
- Be at a stable, healthy weight for optimal results.
- Arrange for help at home. You’ll need assistance with childcare, chores, and driving during your initial recovery.
- Quit smoking at least one month before and after surgery. This is mandatory for safe healing.
- Avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding risk.
- Pre-fill your prescriptions for pain medication and antibiotics.

The Recovery Process
Recovery from mommy makeover packages requires patience, but you only go through it once.
Downtime: Expect 2-4 weeks of primary downtime. Most patients return to office work in 1-2 weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (over 5 lbs) for at least 6 weeks.
Discomfort, Swelling, and Bruising: These are normal. The tummy tuck muscle repair is often the most uncomfortable part, and we will prescribe pain medication to manage it.
Compression Garments and Drains: You’ll wear compression garments for about 6 weeks to reduce swelling and support healing. Temporary drains may be used to collect fluid and are typically removed within 1-2 weeks.
Final Results: Swelling and bruising fade over several weeks to months. Your final results typically become apparent within three to six months as your body heals. Light walking is encouraged soon after surgery to promote circulation.
Your safety is our absolute priority. We provide comprehensive post-operative instructions and follow the highest standards of care. For more on patient safety, you can visit Patient Safety information. The recovery period is an investment, but the results are worth the patience.
Understanding the Cost of Mommy Makeover Packages
Understanding the investment for mommy makeover packages is an important step. There’s no single price tag because every plan is customized based on your chosen procedures, their complexity, and the time required in the operating room.
The total cost covers the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, and facility fees. We believe investing in your confidence is worthwhile and offer financing options to make your goals more accessible. If you’re curious about the value of this journey, read more here: Are Mommy Makeovers Worth It?.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Typically Cost?
Because mommy makeover packages are so personalized, we can only provide a general range. Most mommy makeovers fall between $14,000 and $22,500 or more. This wide range reflects the high degree of customization.
For example, a tummy tuck can range from $7,300 to $16,500+, a breast lift from $7,000 to $16,500+, and breast augmentation starts around $8,000. Combining procedures creates a unique total for each patient.
During your consultation with Dr. Okoro, we will provide a precise, custom quote based on your specific goals. You can also request a Get Custom Quote after your consultation.
Are there different types of mommy makeover packages?
Instead of pre-set ‘types’ or tiers, mommy makeover packages are defined by their customization. Your package is as unique as you are.
A traditional combination often includes a tummy tuck and breast surgery (a lift, augmentation, or both). From there, we can add procedures like liposuction to the flanks, thighs, or back to create a comprehensive plan that addresses exactly what matters to you.
The goal at Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery is to create a winning combination custom to your body and goals. To learn more about how these procedures work together, check out Mommy Makeover: A Winning Combination.
Frequently Asked Questions
As you explore if a mommy makeover is right for you, it’s natural to have questions. Here are answers to some of the most common concerns we hear.
How long do the results of a mommy makeover last?
The results are designed to be long-lasting. Surgical changes like muscle repair and skin removal are permanent. However, your body will continue to age, and maintaining a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserving your new contours.
Future pregnancies are the biggest factor that can compromise your results, which is why we strongly recommend waiting until you are finished having children before scheduling your surgery.
What are the risks associated with a mommy makeover?
All surgery has risks, and mommy makeover packages are no exception. We prioritize your safety to minimize them, but it’s important to be informed. Standard surgical risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia complications. We also take steps to prevent serious issues like blood clots by encouraging early, gentle movement.
If your plan includes breast implants, we will thoroughly discuss specific risks like capsular contracture. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Okoro, who operates in an accredited facility, significantly reduces all these risks.
What is the difference between a mommy makeover and individual procedures?
While you could schedule procedures separately, combining them into mommy makeover packages offers several compelling advantages.
- Recovery: You experience one consolidated recovery period instead of several, allowing you to return to your life faster.
- Cost: Combining procedures is often more cost-effective, as you only pay for facility and anesthesia fees once.
- Results: A combined approach ensures balanced, proportionate results by treating the body as a whole, not in isolated parts.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | Mommy Makeover | Individual Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Comprehensive body restoration, addressing multiple areas. | Targeted to one specific area at a time. |
| Recovery | Single recovery period for all combined surgeries. | Multiple recovery periods, one for each surgery. |
| Cost | Potentially more cost-effective overall (combining facility/anesthesia fees). | Higher cumulative cost due to repeated fees. |
| Results | Harmonious, balanced, and comprehensive aesthetic change. | Focused improvement in one area, may lack overall balance. |
| Convenience | One surgical event, less overall disruption to life. | Multiple surgical events, more prolonged disruption. |
The convenience of a single surgical event is a significant benefit for busy moms. It’s a holistic, efficient approach to reclaiming your body and confidence.
Reclaim Your Confidence and Your Figure
Motherhood changes your body in ways that can affect your confidence. Stretched skin, deflated breasts, and a stubborn belly are common physical reminders of this incredible journey. You don’t have to choose between being a devoted mother and feeling confident in your body—you can have both.
