7 Procedures To Include In Mommy Makeover Surgery
Motherhood is one of life’s greatest joys, but it often comes with significant changes to a woman’s body. These changes—though natural—can leave many mothers feeling less confident in their appearance. At CAPS, we understand these challenges and are here to help you embrace your body. A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy shape and renew your self-confidence.
With over three decades of experience as a board-certified plastic surgeon, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless women reclaim their sense of self through transformative surgeries. Whether you’re seeking subtle enhancements or a comprehensive transformation, a mommy makeover is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Mommy makeover surgery is a combination of cosmetic procedures that address the physical changes that occur in a woman’s body as a result of pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. This comprehensive approach minimizes recovery time while targeting multiple areas, including the breasts, abdomen, and other parts of the body.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons are what make CAPS the premier destination for mommy makeovers in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. Our team of skilled plastic surgeons have helped thousands of women undergo stunning transformations and get the body they’ve always wanted.

Common Procedures in a Mommy Makeover
Each mommy makeover is unique, but here are some of the most popular procedures:
Breast Procedures
Pregnancy and breastfeeding often affect the size, shape, and firmness of the breasts. Whether you’re looking to restore volume, achieve a more lifted appearance, or reduce discomfort from overly large breasts, we offer a range of breast procedures including:
1. Breast Augmentation
A breast augmentation uses saline or silicone implants to enhance the size, shape and projection of your breasts and restores breast volume.
2. Breast Lift
Reverse sagging and reshape breast tissue with a mastopexy, which repositions the nipples and creates a more uplifted, contoured look.
3. Breast Reduction
If overly large breasts are causing discomfort or limiting your activities, a reduction can relieve back and neck pain while creating a size and shape that suits your body and lifestyle.
If you are considering adding a breast reduction to your mommy makeover, it’s important to wait until you have stopped nursing and producing milk for at least 3-6 months. This will allow your hormones to stabilize and your breasts to fully recover from the physical changes they’ve been experiencing.
Body Procedures
The physical effects of pregnancy often extend beyond the breasts, leaving behind stretched skin, stubborn fat, urinary incontinence and weakened muscles. Here’s how we address these concerns with our body procedures.
4. Tummy Tuck/Mini Tummy Tuck
Tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin to achieve a flat, toned stomach. A mini tummy tuck is a great option if your concerns are limited to the area below the belly button.
Whether you’re interested in adding a traditional tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck to your mommy makeover, our expert plastic surgeons recommend waiting until you are finished having children. While you can still get pregnant after a tummy tuck, pregnancy can reverse some of the benefits of the procedure.
5. Liposuction
If pregnancy added some extra padding to your hips, back, or waist, liposuction is the perfect body contouring procedure to add to your mommy makeover. Liposuction removes pockets of excess fat from various parts of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise.
6. Body Lift
During pregnancy, excess fat is developed and stored throughout your body. After childbirth, this fat may present itself in areas that were never impacted before. A body lift is a surgical procedure that can enhance the shape, tightness and tone of your abdomen, buttocks and thighs. Restore your body’s youthful silhouette with a body lift.
If you experience excess fat and loose skin on other parts of the body, our plastic surgeons can perform a thigh lift, arm lift or buttocks lift to specifically target, shape, smooth and tone those areas, resulting in a restored body.
7. Vaginal Rejuvenation
During pregnancy and after childbirth, many women will experience urinary incontinence or the loss of bladder control. If you’re fed up with crossing your legs when you sneeze or laugh, or if you’ve lost the satisfaction of being intimate, adding a vaginal rejuvenation procedure to your mommy makeover is a great solution. Countless women have found success with our vaginal rejuvenation treatments by diminishing urinary incontinence, rebuilding collagen, and increasing sexual desire.
