The mommy makeover is a popular treatment to recover a more youthful and appealing look after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Dr. Anoush Hadaegh is considered one of the top surgeons for the mommy makeover in North Shore and North Boston. Using his surgical expertise, Dr. Hadaegh from Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore personalizes his approach to each individual.
When Is a Mommy Makeover Performed?
Even with plenty of dieting and exercise, it can be nearly impossible to restore a pre-pregnancy body. Most women experience abdominal muscle stretching and loose skin in the breasts, abdomen, and thighs. Some might also notice lost volume in the breasts and new fat in the belly, thighs, and back.
A mommy makeover is recommended to correct all of these issues during a single surgical session. This package of plastic surgery procedures is fully customizable to ensure that each patient gets the results they desire.

“Best Life Choice Ever!”
“I had a “mommy makeover” after having gastric sleeve surgery in 2017. Dr. Hadaegh did a fantastic job in removing a lot of excess skin from my stomach area and my breast look and feel natural. He is a true artist at his craft! I had no complications and minimal time down before returning to work (2 weeks). My scars are minimal at just two months. The girls in his office are very friendly and answer any questions that you have.”
Am I a Good Candidate?
A mommy makeover is appropriate for women who want to improve the appearance of their bodies after having children, potentially including the arms, hips, thighs, and/or breasts. Patients with realistic goals who are generally healthy and have no post-surgery healing issues are ideal candidates.
Your Mommy Makeover Consultation
When patients come in for a consultation for a mommy makeover, they will be asked about their specific concerns and what they hope to achieve with the procedures. Their medical history and current medications will also be discussed. During this time, patients will be given details about which methods are available to them and what they can offer. Any concerns or questions can be answered during this point, as well.
The Procedure
Mommy makeovers involve a wide variety of surgical techniques, depending on each patient’s specific needs. In general, the operation is focused on restoring the patient’s body to how it used to look before she gave birth. This can include removing excess skin and fat, tightening the skin, and removing stretch marks using a unique combination of Dr. Hadaegh’s breast and body plastic surgery techniques.
Mommy Makeover Recovery
The recovery process after a mommy makeover generally takes several weeks. The first few days involve some swelling and bruising, which can be managed with pain medication and compression garments.
Most patients need at least one to two weeks of rest before resuming light activities, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting (including carrying children) are restricted for about six weeks. Following post-op instructions, including proper wound care and avoiding smoking and alcohol, are key to a smooth recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drive after a mommy makeover?
No. Before your surgery, you should arrange for a family member, a friend, or another trusted individual to transport you to and from the hospital. They will also be asked to monitor and assist you during the initial recovery period.
Will I lose weight after a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is not a weight-loss procedure but can remove excess skin and fat, leading to a slimmer appearance. Most patients lose only a few pounds, but the contouring effects can make them look significantly leaner.
Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?
While it’s still physically possible, it’s generally advised to wait until you’re done having children, as pregnancy can stretch the skin and muscles again, potentially reversing your results. If you do become pregnant, some improvements may remain, but additional revision surgery might be needed.
