Mommy Makeover in Seattle
Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the body in ways that often remain long after childbirth. Stretched skin, separated abdominal muscles, and shifts in breast shape can be difficult to reverse with diet and exercise alone. A mommy makeover can help restore your figure and help you feel like yourself again.
Remington Plastic Surgery offers customized mommy makeover plans that combine breast and body procedures, addressing the effects of pregnancy in a single surgery.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of body and breast procedures that address the physical effects of pregnancy and nursing. It is not a single, fixed operation. The procedures are chosen to match your concerns and your anatomy, and most plans focus on the abdomen and breasts – the areas that take on the most strain.
Common procedures include:
- Tummy tuck to repair separated muscles and remove excess skin
- Liposuction to smooth stubborn pockets of fat
- Breast augmentation to restore lost volume or breast lift to reshape and restore a more youthful breast position
The procedures that are recommended depend on your anatomy, goals, and the surgeon’s professional judgment during consultation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover suits women who have finished having children and want to address changes that resulted from pregnancy. You’re likely a good candidate if:
- You are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- You have completed childbearing and finished breastfeeding
- You are bothered by loose skin, separated muscles, or stubborn fat
- You notice changes in breast volume, shape, or position
- You are in good health and do not smoke
- You understand what surgery can realistically achieve
During your consultation, we’ll talk through your goals and determine which combination of procedures fits you best. Because the abdomen and breasts both shape your overall silhouette, it often helps to plan them together.
How a Mommy Makeover Works
A mommy makeover is performed in our Medicare-certified outpatient surgery suite in Kirkland, under general anesthesia. Because it combines procedures, your surgery is carefully sequenced so it can be completed safely in one session.
The abdominal work tightens the muscle wall and removes excess skin, often with liposuction to refine the contour. The breast portion restores volume, lifts, or reduces, depending on your plan. Completing everything in one operation spares you from separate surgeries and separate recoveries.
It is important to do only what is needed to achieve a beautiful, natural result. We focus on precision and balance, restoring your proportions rather than overcorrecting. An experienced surgical team supports every procedure, with board-certified anesthesiologists providing expert care.
What to Expect After a Mommy Makeover
Recovery takes patience, since several areas heal at once. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are most noticeable during the first week and ease steadily with time. Most women take about two weeks away from work and daily routines, though this varies with the extent of surgery.
During recovery, you’ll be guided on caring for your incisions, wearing compression garments, and returning to activity gradually. As healing continues, your results become more visible, and your final shape settles over several months. You can see real outcomes in our mommy makeover before-and-after photos.
Mommy Makeover Benefits
A mommy makeover addresses several concerns in one surgery, one anesthesia, and one recovery. Many women also find the combined result more balanced than treating each area separately. Benefits may include:
- A flatter, firmer abdominal contour
- Restored breast shape, volume, or proportion
- Removal of stubborn fat that cannot be improved with diet and exercise
- Repair of muscles that separated during pregnancy
- Clothing that fits more comfortably
Results are long-lasting when you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.

FAQs About Mommy Makeovers
When can I have a mommy makeover after pregnancy?
Most surgeons recommend waiting until you have finished breastfeeding and your weight has stabilized, often around six months after childbirth. This gives your body time to recover and supports results that last.
Will a mommy makeover leave scars?
Any surgery that removes skin leaves some scarring, but incisions are placed where clothing and swimwear can hide them whenever possible. Scars fade significantly over the first year with proper care.
How long do the results last?
Results are long-lasting when you keep a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Future pregnancies or major weight changes can affect the outcome, which is why the procedure is usually recommended once you are done having children.
