Combination Procedure

Mommy Makeover

A customizable combination of breast and abdominal procedures that restores the body after pregnancy.

A Mommy Makeover restores the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding by combining the procedures best suited to your goals — most often breast enhancement and abdominal contouring — into a single, personalized surgical plan. Rather than a fixed operation, it's a tailored combination designed around what pregnancy changed for you.

Dr. Marciales plans each Mommy Makeover individually, pairing procedures such as a breast lift or augmentation with a tummy tuck and liposuction so recovery happens once and the result is balanced and natural.

Is It Right for You?

Am I a Candidate?

The best candidates are healthy women, finished having children, who are bothered by post-pregnancy changes — sagging or deflated breasts, loose abdominal skin, separated muscles, and stubborn fat — that haven't responded to diet and exercise.

What to Expect

The Procedure

Because every Mommy Makeover is unique, the procedure is built from the components you need — for example a tummy tuck with muscle repair, liposuction of the flanks, and a breast lift or augmentation. Combining them into one session means a single anesthesia and one recovery period.

Surgery typically takes three to five hours under general anesthesia at the accredited facility within New City Medical Plaza. Dr. Marciales confirms the safest, most effective combination for you at your consultation.

Before Surgery

How to Prepare

Complete a consultation and pre-operative labs

Prepare front-fastening tops and your garments
Plan childcare and time away from lifting

Healing, Week by Week

Your Recovery Timeline

First week

The most restrictive stage, combining breast and abdominal recovery. You'll rest, wear support garments, and avoid lifting — including lifting children. Help at home is essential.

Weeks 2–3

Discomfort eases and you move more freely. Many patients return to light desk work around two to three weeks, still avoiding strain.

Weeks 4–6

Energy returns and light activity resumes with clearance. Swelling subsides and the new shape becomes clearer.

Months 2–6

Exercise is reintroduced gradually. Breasts settle into position and abdominal swelling resolves, revealing the final result.

The Outcome

Your Results

You'll notice your restored shape within weeks, though breasts settle and abdominal swelling resolves over the following months. The full, balanced result emerges over three to six months.

Results are long-lasting with a stable weight; a future pregnancy can reverse some of the benefit, which is why the procedure is recommended once you're finished having children.

Good to Know

Mommy Makeover FAQ

What procedures are included in a Mommy Makeover?

It's personalized, but most commonly a tummy tuck and liposuction for the abdomen, plus a breast lift and/or augmentation. Dr. Marciales tailors the combination to your goals.

Is it safe to combine several procedures at once?

For healthy patients, combining complementary procedures in one session is common and can be easier than several separate recoveries. Your suitability is confirmed with pre-operative screening.

Should I wait until I'm done having children?

Yes — it's best to have your Mommy Makeover once you're finished having children, since a future pregnancy can undo the abdominal and breast improvements.

How long is recovery for a combined procedure?

Most patients take two to four weeks off, with light activity resuming around four weeks and full exercise gradually after about six to eight weeks.

How soon can I lift my children?

Lifting is restricted for several weeks to protect the abdominal repair — usually around four to six weeks — so planning help at home in advance is important.

Will the results last?

Yes, with a stable weight and no future pregnancies. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle keeps your restored shape looking its best.
