Home / Body / Mommy Makeover Miami
Icon Cosmetic Center designs customized mommy makeover plans to restore women’s bodies, making them look even better than they did pre-baby! Diet and exercise alone cannot mend the muscles, tighten the skin, and lift fallen areas after being stretched beyond their limit during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consequently, most women struggle to bounce back naturally.
WHAT IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER?
A mommy makeover is a one-day transformation that:
- Removes excess, lax skin
- Smooths and firms the abdomen
- Contours the waist
- Lifts, fills, and reshapes the breasts
- Reclaims your confidence!
Although it is deemed a “mommy makeover” for women whose bodies have declined after childbirth, Icon Cosmetic Center’s mommy makeover package is available for any patient seeking a streamlined new figure!
PROCEDURES INCLUDED IN A MOMMY MAKEOVER MIAMI
At our cosmetic surgery center, we offer customized procedure combinations to rejuvenate the body after the effects of time, childbirth and motherhood. Our Mommy Makeover packages in Miami are tailored to the individual needs of our patients to ensure their total satisfaction. Each of our packages includes individual procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, where the most common are:
Breast augmentation and breast lift
Since breastfeeding greatly affects the bosom after pregnancy, a breast augmentation (mammoplasty) with an optional breast lift (mastopexy) are the central procedures bundled in a mommy makeover. Not every woman requires a breast lift, but since a new mother’s breasts increase in cup sizes and drop back down once she finishes breastfeeding, the skin stretches and sags. This fluctuation leaves her with a flatter, drooping chest that requires surgical lifting. A breast augmentation procedure reshapes, improves fullness, and restores volume in the breasts through implants. Patients choose between silicone and saline implants, smooth versus textured, and decide optimal breast size with their board-certified surgeon.
Breast Reduction
A breast reduction can be bundled in a mommy makeover in place of a breast augmentation or lift. A breast reduction procedure is a form of mammoplasty that reduces the size and weight of the breasts by removing excess tissue and skin. The breasts are then lifted for a hoisted appearance. This procedure is advantageous for women whose breasts grew exorbitantly during pregnancy or who have always had heavy breasts. Not only does a breast reduction improve the bosom’s appearance, but it corrects discomfort such as back pain, poor posture, tension headaches, and deep bra strap marks caused by weighty breasts.
Liposuction
Liposuction, also known as liposculpture or lipo, recontours waistlines that have lost definition after pregnancy. Fat deposits in the subcutaneous layer, the deepest layer of the skin, are the most resistant to diet and exercise. Your surgeon will suction the stubborn fat from your waistline, abdomen, and back folds with a thin tube called a cannula. Lipo is noninvasive and yields noticeable, permanent results in as quick as one session!
Tummy Tuck
An extended arm lift is similar to the traditional method. However, the incision of an extended arm lift extends from the armpit to the elbow crease and can stretch to the chest wall and surrounding areas. The extended arm lift technique provides the most extreme results since it targets more body areas. Residual scarring will fade over time.
Buttock Augmentation
Although it’s not very common, some packages may include buttock augmentation, either through fat grafting or implants, to enhance the buttocks’ shape and volume.
BENEFITS OF A MOMMY MAKEOVER
A mommy makeover is a one-day transformation that corrects body issues that diet and exercise cannot rectify. Since a mommy makeover involves bundling several beauty-altering procedures, this package provides comprehensive benefits aside from its convenience.
Breast Augmentation & Breast Lift Benefits
- Hoists fallen breasts for a perkier appearance
- Creates a flattering bust-to-waist ratio
- Breast implants provide more prominent, shapely, and symmetrical breasts

- Restores the abdominal structure if muscles separated during childbirth
Liposuction Benefits

- Achievable in nearly any body area

It’s important for women considering a Mommy Makeover in Miami to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their specific concerns, desired outcomes, and to develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with their goals.
IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER RIGHT FOR ME?
The good news is, you do not have to be a mother to undergo a mommy makeover procedure! A mommy makeover got its name because this bundle of procedures addresses many women’s body issues after childbirth (e.g., undefined waist, fallen breasts, etc.) However, age, illness, and extreme weight loss can also affect these areas, thus making a mommy makeover a viable option for nearly all women.
A mommy makeover may be right for you if:
- You are in good general health
- You are finished having children
- You are at (or near) your ideal weight, as dramatic fluctuations in weight negatively influence the makeover results
MOMMY MAKEOVER RESULTS AND RECOVERY
The final results of a mommy makeover begin to actualize 6 months after surgery. Since this makeover involves a series of procedures in one operation, it is imperative to remain patient as your body recovers. Our mommy makeover surgeon in Miami will enforce specific aftercare instructions; these orders may vary depending on the procedures performed. However, mommy makeover patients can expect to follow a general recovery timeline:
Week 1 Post-Op
The first week after a mommy makeover will be the most unpleasant, as this is when swelling, pain, and nausea peak. Patients should rest and be tended to 24/7 by a trusted family member, friend, or licensed nurse. Icon Cosmetic Center’s mommy makeover surgeon will prescribe pain medication that should be taken regularly as directed since pain will peak in the first 48 to 72 hours after surgery.
1 Month Post-Op
Swelling and bruising at the incision sites begin to subside within the first month, and light walking and desk work are permitted at this time. Talk to your surgeon about resuming sexual activity and other exercises since raising blood pressure too soon after surgery puts pressure on the incision site and increases the risk of pain spasms, infection, and internal bleeding. Patients must continue wearing their post-surgical bras and compression garments to ensure the best results.
3 Months Post-Op
After three months, the majority of your mommy makeover results should no longer be obstructed by bruising and swelling. However, there may still be some inflammation on the abdomen, as tummy tucks take longer to heal than liposuction, and breast procedures.
6 to 12 Months Post-Op
Post-operative scar care is imperative for a successful recovery. While tummy tuck and breast augmentation scars do not disappear entirely, proper aftercare can fade them to near indiscernibility.

Preparation for a mommy makeover depends on the procedures elected.

- Discontinue smoking at least 4 weeks before surgery
- Do not consume alcohol 48 hours before surgery
- Fill your pain medication prescription beforehand
- Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or any supplements that thin the blood at least 2 to 4 weeks before your mommy makeover
- Prepare your surgical bras, compression garments, and scar creams
- Stock up on low-sodium food and snacks
