Motherhood is a transformative experience, but it can also bring physical changes that impact your confidence. If you’re thinking about a mommy makeover to regain your pre-pregnancy body, you’re not alone. At Modern Surgical Arts of Denver, Dr. Kamran Dastoury specializes in personalized cosmetic surgery to meet your specific needs and help you achieve your goals.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover typically combines several procedures to target areas most impacted by pregnancy and breastfeeding, like the abdomen, breasts, and more. Some of the most common procedures in a mommy makeover include:
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is designed to target stretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and excess fat in the abdomen resulting from pregnancy. During the procedure, Dr. Dastoury carefully removes sagging skin, repairs separated muscles (diastasis recti), and tightens the abdomen. This treatment is perfect for women dealing with loose skin and stubborn fat that diet and exercise alone can’t fix.
Breast Augmentation or Lift
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to a loss of breast volume, sagging, or asymmetry. A breast augmentation uses implants to restore volume and enhance shape, while a breast lift lifts and repositions sagging breasts for a more youthful look. For women seeking both, Dr. Dastoury can perform a combined lift and augmentation procedure.
Liposuction
Stubborn fat can persist in areas such as the hips, thighs, abdomen, or back, even after weight loss. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that targets and removes fat deposits that don’t respond to exercise or dieting.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Before moving forward with a mommy makeover, it’s important to determine if you’re truly ready for the procedure. You may be a good candidate if:
You’re Done Growing Your Family
Mommy makeovers offer long-lasting results, but future pregnancies may reverse some of the benefits, like tightened abdominal muscles or enhanced breast contours. If you’re done growing your family, now could be the perfect time to move forward with the procedure.
You’ve Reached Your Goal Weight
A mommy makeover is not a weight-loss surgery. It’s most effective when you’re at or near your goal weight and have maintained it for at least six months, ensuring that your results are long-lasting and sustainable.
You’re Ready for Recovery Time
A mommy makeover is a combination procedure that requires a commitment to recovery. Most patients need two to three weeks to rest and heal before resuming light activities, with full recovery taking several months. It’s important to plan your downtime around family and work responsibilities to ensure a smooth recovery process.

If you’re thinking about a mommy makeover, a consultation is the best way to determine if it’s the right choice for you. At Modern Surgical Arts of Denver, Dr. Kamran Dastoury will walk you through the process, addressing all your questions and helping set realistic expectations.
