Mommy Makeover in Sacramento
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of breast and body procedures designed to address common physical changes after pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, weight fluctuation, or aging.
At Sacramento Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Donald W. Hause, MD, FACS provides customized mommy makeover procedures for patients who want to restore more balanced body contours with a surgical plan tailored to their anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is not one single procedure. It is a customized surgical plan that may combine procedures such as tummy tuck surgery, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, or other body contouring options depending on the patient’s needs.
The goal is to address areas commonly affected by pregnancy and weight changes, including loose abdominal skin, weakened abdominal muscles, breast volume loss, breast sagging, stubborn fat, and changes in body contour.
Because every patient’s body and goals are different, Dr. Hause creates an individualized treatment plan after a personal consultation and physical evaluation.
What Concerns Can a Mommy Makeover Address?
A mommy makeover may be appropriate for patients who want to improve multiple areas in a single coordinated surgical plan. Common concerns include:
- Loose or stretched abdominal skin
- Separated or weakened abdominal muscles
- Stubborn fat around the abdomen, waist, hips, or flanks
- Breast volume loss after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Breast sagging or changes in breast position
- Changes in body contour after childbirth or weight fluctuation
- Stretching or excess tissue that does not improve with diet and exercise alone
During your consultation, Dr. Hause will review your goals and determine which procedure combination may be appropriate for your anatomy and desired outcome.
Procedures Often Included in a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover may include one or more surgical procedures depending on the patient’s needs. The most common options include:
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, can remove excess abdominal skin and help repair weakened abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer abdominal contour.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation may restore lost breast volume or improve breast shape using implants selected around the patient’s goals and anatomy.
Breast Lift
A breast lift may be recommended when pregnancy, breastfeeding, or aging has caused breast sagging or changes in nipple position.
Liposuction
Liposuction may be used to refine stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, waist, hips, flanks, or other areas when appropriate.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Good candidates for a mommy makeover are typically healthy adults who are bothered by lasting changes after pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging. Many candidates have completed their pregnancies and are close to a stable weight.
Ideal candidates should have realistic expectations, understand that surgery involves recovery time, and be willing to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions carefully.
A consultation with Dr. Hause is the best way to determine whether a mommy makeover is appropriate and which combination of procedures may be recommended.

Mommy Makeover Recovery
Recovery after a mommy makeover depends on which procedures are performed and how extensive the surgical plan is. Since many mommy makeovers include abdominal and breast procedures, patients should plan for downtime, help at home, and temporary activity restrictions.
Most patients need to avoid strenuous activity while healing. Dr. Hause will provide detailed instructions for incision care, compression garments when appropriate, activity limits, follow-up visits, and the safest timeline for returning to normal routines.

Mommy Makeover Scars and Results
Any surgical procedure that requires incisions will leave scars. With mommy makeover surgery, incision placement depends on the procedures included, such as tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, or liposuction.
Dr. Hause carefully plans incision placement when possible to help scars be as discreet as practical. Scar appearance can vary based on genetics, skin type, healing, sun exposure, and how closely post-operative instructions are followed.
