What is a Mommy Makeover?
While carrying and breastfeeding your child can be one of the most incredible experiences a mother can have, it takes a toll on your body. Even long after you have given birth, your body may not be able to return to its pre-pregnancy condition. Stretch marks, loose abdominal muscles, skin laxity, and sagging breasts combine to leave you with a figure that you no longer recognize when you look in the mirror.

The Mommy Makeover Procedures
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures designed to allow you to reclaim your body after giving birth. Our mommy makeover in Denver performed here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center is designed to reshape contours, remove excess saggy skin, restore breast shape and volume, and rejuvenate the body to its pre-pregnancy conditions.
The mommy makeover typically includes the following procedures:
However, it is also possible to complete the procedures in stages at different times. The Tummy tuck tightens the abdominal wall muscles that have been stretched to accommodate your growing baby during pregnancy. A Tummy tuck is also the only way to get rid of excess skin that you may have in the abdominal area as a result of your skin expanding during pregnancy, as well as the only method to remove stretch marks that may have also developed during pregnancy.

- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift
- Liposuction
- Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck

In addition, you may choose to add various facial procedures for a comprehensive rejuvenation from head to toe.
What is the cost of a mommy makeover?
It is important to remember that the cost of a mommy makeover can vary greatly depending on where you live, the number and type of procedures you choose to include, and your surgeon. It is safe to estimate that most mommy makeovers will come between $9,000 and $20,000. Only a private consultation will reveal what procedures are needed in your case.
Can I have a mommy makeover if I have not yet had children?
Absolutely! The term “mommy makeover” generally refers to a combination of procedures designed to treat the impact of pregnancy and breastfeeding on a woman’s body. As you go through life, weight changes are very common. These changes can lead to sagging breasts, loose skin and tissue at your midsection, stubborn pockets of fat, or stretch marks. It is not rare for these problems to affect a woman’s body, even if she hasn’t experienced pregnancy.
There is never a wrong time to take advantage of modern surgical treatments to re-sculpt, reshape, and create the firm, fit, sculpted figure you envision – and restores your confidence in your body image.
Will health insurance cover my mommy makeover?
While your health insurance may, in some rare cases, cover some portion of a mommy makeover, most of the procedures included are considered to be elective and will, therefore, not be covered.
Our staff is extremely familiar with working with insurance companies and will assist with these questions.

How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost?
Dr. Slenkovich performs very personalized mommy makeovers in order to meet or exceed his patient’s goals. Because a “mommy makeover” can include a number of individual procedures (a tummy tuck, liposuction, and/or a breast lift), costs will naturally vary from patient to patient as not all patients require the same treatment. The final cost of a mommy makeover will depend on your own goals, the condition that your skin is in, and how long your surgery will take. We can provide an exact price for you following a quick personal consultation.
