What Procedures Are Included in a Mommy Makeover?
Every Mommy Makeover is custom-designed to suit the needs of the individual. The procedures involved often include a combination of cosmetic breast and body procedures, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and other body procedures tailored to restore or enhance body contours.
Common components include:
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Featuring Dr. Patronella’s True Form Tummy Tuck®
Dr. Patronella’s True Form Tummy Tuck® is a refined technique that addresses loose skin, separated muscles, and fat while sculpting natural-looking contours that mimic the appearance of a toned abdomen, rather than the flat, over-tightened look often seen elsewhere. Tummy tucks are designed to repair muscle separation (diastasis recti), remove excess skin, and tighten sagging skin for a smoother, more youthful abdominal contour.
His method pays careful attention to:
- A naturally contoured waistline
- Realistic belly button shape and placement
- Soft transitions between the abdomen and hips
Dr. Patronella’s approach has earned national recognition for its authenticity and beauty.
Breast Enhancement (Augmentation and/or Lift)
Breast changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding often include volume loss, sagging, or asymmetry. Your Mommy Makeover may include:
- True Form Breast Augmentation® to increase breast size, improve shape, and address sagging, with implant type and placement tailored to your goals.
- Breast lift (mastopexy) to raise and reshape the breasts.
- Combined augmentation and lift for volume and elevation.
- Breast reduction for women seeking relief from discomfort caused by large breasts or to restore body proportion and confidence.
Liposuction & Body Contouring
Even fit mothers can struggle with localized fat that resists exercise. Liposuction is often used to target areas such as:
- Abdomen and flanks
- Hips and thighs
- Back and bra roll
- Arms
Additional Enhancement Options, Customized for You
Your Mommy Makeover can also include:
- Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation with ThermiVa® for intimate rejuvenation, addressing issues such as vaginal laxity, muscle separation, and improving both function and appearance.
- Arm lift for recontouring and skin tightening.
- Lower body lift to restore volume and shape to the hips and buttocks, especially after pregnancy or aging. This allows for enhanced shaping and smooth transitions between treated and untreated areas when needed.
- Medspa treatments to enhance skin tone and texture.
“I want my patients to know they can trust that I will look out for their best interest.”

Preparing for Your Mommy Makeover
Preparation is essential for a smooth and successful surgical experience. Dr. Patronella and his team will provide clear pre-operative instructions, including:
- Discontinuing certain medications or supplements
- Arranging for help with children and household tasks
- Creating a dedicated recovery space at home
- Completing necessary lab work and medical clearance
It is also important to plan for pain control during your recovery, such as discussing options like EXPAREL®, and to support the way your body heals after surgery for the best possible outcome.
How Is a Mommy Makeover Performed?
Your Mommy Makeover is performed at our state-of-the-art surgical facility in Houston. Depending on your treatment plan, surgery typically lasts four to six hours, with most patients returning home the same day under the care of a trusted adult.
Dr. Patronella’s surgical techniques prioritize safety, symmetry, and artistry. Incisions are carefully placed and closed to promote minimal scarring and a smooth, refined result.

Photo GalleryWhat Does Mommy Makeover Recovery & Aftercare Involve?
Recovery timelines will depend on the extent of your procedures. The expected recovery time varies, but it is crucial to follow all aftercare instructions closely to support a smooth recovery process and achieve the best possible results. Most patients can expect:
- Initial downtime: 10–14 days for rest and healing
- Return to light activity: Around two weeks
- Resuming exercise: Usually at six to eight weeks, based on clearance
- Swelling resolution: Three to six months for final results
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and attend regular follow-ups to ensure optimal healing. Our team is available to answer any questions or concerns every step of the way.

Mommy Makeover FAQs
How soon after childbirth can I have a Mommy Makeover?
We typically recommend waiting at least six months to one year after childbirth or nursing. This delay allows time for your body to stabilize and ensures the safest, most effective outcome.
Will a Mommy Makeover get rid of my stretch marks?
Stretch marks that are located beneath the navel can likely be removed during your tummy tuck. However, while stretch marks above the belly button may improve slightly with skin tightening, these are rarely fully removed.
What kind of scars will I have, and will they be visible?
Scars are an inevitable part of surgery, but Dr. Patronella takes great care to place incisions discreetly. Over time, with proper care, scars typically fade to thin, barely noticeable lines.
What if I get pregnant again after my Mommy Makeover?
Future pregnancies can affect your results, which is why we recommend waiting until you are finished having children. However, additional revision procedures may be an option if needed.
Is a Mommy Makeover worth it?
Most women who undergo a Mommy Makeover say it’s one of the best investments they’ve made in themselves. The boost in body image, self-esteem, and quality of life often far outweighs the cost and downtime.
