What is a Mommy Makeover?
While carrying and breastfeeding your child are 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.
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.
What Should I Expect During my Mommy Makeover?
Each mommy makeover is a combination of procedures as unique as you are. Dr. Slenkovich will work closely with you to determine which procedures will allow you to meet your post-surgical aesthetic goals.
Your mommy makeover will be performed in our state-of-the-art surgical center in Denver, where we adhere to stringent safety and health protocols and use the most advanced equipment and technology.
A mommy makeover is typically performed with the patient under general anesthesia. The duration of your surgery will be determined by the number and type of procedures you decide to undergo as part of your mommy makeover.
What is the Recovery from a Mommy Makeover Like?
Since each mommy makeover is uniquely tailored to the individual, the recovery from the procedures will vary from patient to patient.
You should plan to have at least a few weeks to rest and heal after your mommy makeover before you return to your normal activities, but you may need as long as six weeks to really feel like yourself.
You can expect to have some swelling, bruising, and soreness if your makeover included breast augmentation or a tummy tuck. Pain medication can help you through the early stages, so you are as comfortable as possible. You must avoid strenuous activities, lifting, or stretching for approximately six weeks following your procedures.
More About a Mommy Makeover
The confidence boost that a mommy makeover in Denver provides to a Mom’s self esteem is immeasurable. We all know the miracle of childbirth brings with it a lot of changes. But now mothers can get their bodies back into shape and confidently enjoy the active lifestyle their children demand.
Although a tummy tuck is a main part of a Mommy Makeover, to fully rejuvenate a woman’s body post pregnancy, a breast enhancement procedure is often a necessary as well. The breast enhancement could be a breast lift, breast augmentation with implants or both procedures to restore the volume and shape of your breasts that breastfeed and pregnancy have changed.
Often, liposuction may be used solely or in combination with the above procedures to give Mom the firm look that her body had before the baby.

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.
