“Mommy makeovers are a very popular term that we hear, but what does that really mean? Standardly, it means that we’re doing something with the breasts and something with the abdomen. But, in reality, what are we doing? We’re doing whatever is necessary to help a person feel confident about themselves. It might be that they’ve been hitting the gym, they’re fit, but they just don’t like their nose. Is that still a mommy makeover? I suppose it could be if that’s what makes that “mommy” happier.
But in essence, what are we doing? We’re using different procedures to bring happiness. It could be a tummy tuck, liposuction, a Brazilian butt lift, implants, or a breast lift. Essentially, our goal is for you to come in, and we want to understand what will make you feel more confident.”–Dr. Samir Pancholi
Why consider a mommy makeover?
Although many women understand the frustration of stubborn fat and loose skin, it is especially true among those who have given birth and now see a body that barely resembles their pre-pregnancy contour. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, age, and menopause all can take an extreme toll on a woman’s body. Although not an end-all solution to every change that may have occurred, a mommy makeover can help lift your self-confidence and feel like your real self again.
“Making the decision to have surgery is nerve-wracking, but having people like Dr. Pancholi and his amazing staff made the whole process enjoyable…my results are AMAZING!! I have finally gained confidence in my appearance. I am glad I chose Dr. Pancholi for my surgery! The doctor and his staff are absolutely THE BEST in Las Vegas!”
—R.S., Actual Patient of Dr. Pancholi
How does the surgery address concerns for post-pregnancy patients?
Las Vegas cosmetic surgeon Dr. Pancholi typically addresses the following concerns during mommy makeover procedures:
- Excess, sagging skin
- Stubborn fat on the hips, thighs, and buttocks
- Loose abdominal muscles

What are the benefits of a mommy makeover procedure?
Mommy makeover surgery provides Las Vegas moms with many benefits, including:
- Increased self-confidence and a feeling of ‘returning home’ to your body after pregnancy
- A smoother, tighter stomach
- Firmer, lifted, more youthful breasts
- Provide diastasis recti treatment to repair, strenghten, and lift loosened abdominal muscles
- Tightened core muscles can improve posture and make exercise easier and more comfortable
- Removing excess skin can improve hygiene, as bacteria often become trapped between skin folds
What are the risks of a mommy makeover procedure?
Like all surgeries, mommy makeover procedures carry inherent risks. Some of these include bleeding, infection, hematoma, seroma, loss of nipple sensation, capsular contracture, Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), unfavorable scarring, deep venous thrombosis, and anesthesia risks.
You can significantly reduce these risks by choosing a highly qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon; find out why patients trust their safety and results to Dr. Samir Pancholi.
What procedures does a mommy makeover include?
Surgical mommy makeover options
This package can consist of several surgical procedures depending on the mommy makeover results you desire, including but not limited to:
- Breast augmentation: Enhance the shape and size of your breasts using saline or silicone implants, or your body’s own fat.
- Breast lift surgery or breast lift with implants: Lift sagging breasts to a more youthful position. A breast lift can also be combined with breast implants to create a more shapely, confident bust.
- Tummy tuck surgery: Remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles to restore core strength and improve posture. A tummy tuck can also be combined with liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits along the belly, hips, and flanks.

- Brazilian butt lift: Lift and shape your buttocks with this fat transfer using liposuction and strategically placed injections of your own natural fat.
- Labiaplasty: Reduce the size of your labia and improve their symmetry to enhance the appearance and comfort of your vagina.
Non-surgical mommy makeover options
Non-surgical treatments are becoming more popular, allowing mommy makeover patients to further refine their shape without additional recovery time. These procedures can also enhance the results a surgical mommy makeover. Non-surgical treatments are also a great option for women who plan to have more children or who are not yet ready to commit to surgery, but would like to make touch-ups in the meantime. Options include:
- ThermiVa non-surgical feminine rejuvenation: Improve the look and feel of the labia by stimulating collagen and elastin.
- THERMI skin tightening: Reshape, tighten, and lift skin around the eyes and vagina without surgery, needles, or downtime.

- Skin resurfacing treatments: Use laser technology to remove old, dead skin cells and replace them with healthy new ones by stimulating collagen deep beneath the skin’s surface.
Am I a good candidate for mommy makeover surgery?
The best mommy makeover candidates:
- Are in overall good health
- Are at or near your ideal body weight
- Have a BMI under 30
- Are not planning to become pregnant again
- Do not smoke or are willing to abstain from smoking for at least 2 weeks before and after surgery
- Have realistic expectations
Should I have a mommy makeover if I want more children with another pregnancy?
It’s very important tyou are finished giving birth at the time of your mommy makeover procedure, as further pregnancies are likely to undo your surgery results by stretching your abdominal muscles, changing your breast shape, and causing extreme weight fluctuations. Some women do not plan on getting pregnant after their mommy makeovers and decide to have a second combination of procedures, or simply a mommy makeover “tune-up.”
What should I expect during my mommy makeover recovery?
One benefit of combining body contouring procedures in one surgery is that only a single recovery period is required. Your recovery will depend on the unique combination of procedures you’ve had, though you can expect a recovery time that aligns with the most extensive procedure in your surgical plan.
If you choose to undergo this procedure as a new mommy, it’s important to consider your childcare while you recover. Lifting is typically restricted for 4 to 6 week after surgeries, so we recommend arranging extra care to help while you heal.
