What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination treatment aimed at rejuvenating a woman’s body after pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as weight fluctuations and the aging process. Every woman’s mommy makeover is a bit different, but the most frequent techniques include:
- Breast Augmentation with Lift – This procedure restores lost volume, improves breast shape, and corrects sagging, giving the breasts a more youthful appearance.
- Tummy Tuck – A tummy tuck in Detroit removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened muscles to create a firmer, flatter midsection.
- Liposuction – Liposuction eliminates stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise, sculpting the body.
- Additional Procedures – Arm contouring (brachioplasty) is used to remove excess skin from the upper arms, while labiaplasty refines the shape and appearance of the labia for improved comfort and aesthetics.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
A Metro Detroit mommy makeover is ideal for women who have experienced significant body changes after having children and want to regain their pre-baby appearance. Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the results. Non-smokers or those willing to quit before surgery are preferred to ensure proper healing.
Your Consultation With Dr. Mariam Awada
Your mommy makeover journey starts with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Awada. She will assess your medical history, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle to create a personalized surgical plan. We ensure that every patient feels comfortable and supported throughout the process.
What to Expect During Surgery
At Michigan Cosmetic Surgery, patient comfort is one of our top concerns. As such, we furnish full anesthesia options, ensuring you are fully sedated during your procedure. You should not feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery itself.
Dr. Awada will mark the incision areas and, once the anesthesia takes full effect, create the incisions according to the selected procedures agreed upon during the consultation. Once these techniques have been performed and all incisions have been sutured closed, bandages will be wrapped around each site.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery varies depending on the extent of the surgical techniques performed. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. It will likely be required to refrain from heavy lifting (including carrying young children) for at least six weeks to prevent complications.
Dr. Awada provides detailed post-operative care instructions, including guidelines on scar management and follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress. Most women find that as their swelling subsides and results become visible, they experience a significant boost in confidence and comfort in their bodies.

What Procedures Are Involved with a Mommy Makeover?
Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift and/or Breast Lift Surgery
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can sometimes lead to a loss in breast volume or breasts with a droopy, sagging shape. During your Mommy Makeover, you can enhance the size of your breasts through breast augmentation using implants or a fat transfer. A breast lift can help you achieve a more appealing contour and repair any problems with the nipples or areolas.
Tummy Tuck Surgery
Following childbirth, many moms struggle with excess belly flab. A tummy tuck can provide you with the tight, toned abdomen you desire. Additionally, a tummy tuck can be used to repair and strengthen the muscles in your stomach wall, which are often damaged during pregnancy. For these reasons, the tummy tuck is a very common inclusion in any Mommy Makeover plan.
Liposuction
Many moms struggle with weight gain, and even the most rigorous diet and strenuous exercise seem to make little difference. If that is your experience, you may benefit from liposuction. This weight loss surgery involves excess fat and tissue being vacuumed out of your body. Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck for the best body contouring results.
The Mommy Makeover Process Explained
The Consultation
The first step in the Mommy Makeover process is meeting with our all-female care team, including board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mariam Awada. During your consultation, Dr. Awada will ensure you are eligible for a safe and successful procedure. The procedures that can be included will be discussed in detail, and you will be able to select your preferences. She will also listen to your concerns, helping you create a Mommy Makeover plan that is just for you.
Prepare your complete medical history, and be ready to take a few lab tests. This will help Dr. Awada plan your procedure more effectively and ensure great results that meet your goals.
What Should I Do in Preparation?
The single most important thing you can do to prepare for a Mommy Makeover is recruit a spouse, sibling, parent, or friend to help around the house while you recover. During recovery, your movement may be restricted, so assistance will make a major difference.
It is also important to prepare your bedroom appropriately. Secure enough pillows for support, and place your necessities nearby.
Additionally, abstain from smoking, and cease using any medications that could cause bleeding. Our team will supply you with detailed directions.
How Many Sessions are Involved?
One of the primary benefits of the Mommy Makeover is that it typically requires just a single surgical session, meaning you will only need to worry about one recovery period. The whole surgery generally lasts for 3 to 5 hours. The duration of a Mommy Makeover will depend on the procedures involved.
What is Surgery Like? Is it Painful?
At Michigan Cosmetic Surgery, patient comfort is one of our top concerns. As such, we furnish full anesthesia options, ensuring you are fully sedated during your procedure. You should not feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery itself.
Dr. Awada will mark the incisions areas, and once the anesthesia takes full effect, Dr. Awada will create the incisions according to the selected procedures agreed upon during the consultation.
Once the procedures have been performed and all incisions have been sutured closed, bandages will be wrapped around the incision sites.
What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery?
Following your Mommy Makeover, you can anticipate some swelling and bruising. You may also have some mild to moderate pain, which can be easily managed with medication. You will need to rest and recover for at least a week, but you will start to feel more and more like your usual self after that.
You will be advised regarding replacement of bandages and the correct way to clean the surgery sites. A follow-up appointment will be set with Dr. Awada to remove sutures and check on your healing progress.
Other Things to Consider Before Getting a Mommy Makeover
Are There Any Risks Involved?
Any time you have surgery, you can expect some level of risk. These include the risk of infection, blood clotting, and anesthesia complications. Having multiple procedures at once can reduce these risks. Additionally, you can minimize your surgical risk by working with a qualified plastic surgeon and making sure to follow all of the aftercare instructions given to you.
Will I Need to Request Extensive Time Off from Work?
Most women feel prepared to head back to work within one to two weeks. However, you will need to wait at least six weeks before resuming heavy lifting of any kind.
Scars After the Surgery
While you will have some scarring, working with a skilled surgeon can help minimize those scars and make sure they are in easily concealed positions. Michigan Cosmetic Surgery also offers in-house laser scar treatments included in the costs of your final surgical quote.
How Long Will the Results Last?
The longevity of your results depends on the specific procedures you have done and how well you care for your body following the surgery. A commitment to a healthy lifestyle will greatly affect how long Mommy Makeover results can last.
How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
Your mommy makeover will include the best combination of procedures for achieving your desired body contours. Once we have developed your unique treatment plan, we will review the procedure details with you, including the price of your treatment.
