Having a child is a life-changing moment in many ways, and motherhood is full of sacrifices. Perhaps one of the less appreciated sacrifices made by mothers is the changes they endure to their bodies, sometimes discouraging and irreversible, in order to provide health and nourishment to their babies. Thousands of mothers come to our office with the sentiment that they lost a piece of themselves due to pregnancy or breastfeeding. Dr. Nick Slenkovich and his team are here to help you reclaim that piece of yourself. The mommy makeover offers procedures that rejuvenate parts of the body affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding and, most importantly, instill confidence in strong and resilient mothers.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
While carrying and breastfeeding your child is one of the most special experiences a mother can have, it can cause frustrating and irreversible changes to the body. Even long after you have given birth, your body may not be able to return to how it was before pregnancy. Stretch marks, separated loose abdominal muscles, skin laxity, and sagging or deflated breasts are common and often discouraging effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
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, tighten the abdomen, restore breast shape and volume, and rejuvenate the body to its pre-pregnancy best.

Although combining breast and abdominal procedures is ideal for a consolidated recovery and reduced cost, it is in no way required. Many patients elect to address their breasts and abdomen in separate procedures.

- Fat Grafting to Buttocks

Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?
If you are experiencing sagging or deflated breasts, stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet or exercise, or stretch marks, a mommy pouch, or a c-section shelf in your lower abdomen, you may be an excellent candidate for a mommy makeover. Any woman who is ready to restore her pre-pregnancy body can benefit from a mommy makeover.
Dr. Slenkovich would be happy to discuss your vision for your mommy makeover and advise you on the procedures that will set you on the path to rejuvenation.

- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift

- Liposuction

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. For this reason, it is really difficult, and often misleading, to list pricing for a mommy makeover on a website. Transparency and honesty are an integral part of our partnership with you. For that reason, one of our expert Patient Care Coordinators is available right now for a quick phone call to tailor your estimated surgical costs to you. During that phone call, we can gather some information from you, assess your goals, and determine which procedure(s) would be recommended. We can then give you pricing that most closely matches those recommendations.
Can I have a mommy makeover if I have not had children?
Absolutely! The term “mommy makeover” generally refers to a combination of procedures designed to treat the female breast and tummy areas, which are commonly impacted by pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, other factors aside from pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect these areas as well, such as aging or weight loss. These changes can lead to sagging or deflated breasts, loose skin, excess tissue at your midsection, stubborn pockets of fat, or stretch marks. It is not uncommon 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 restore your confidence in your body image.
Will health insurance cover my mommy makeover?
As mentioned above, the term “mommy makeover” is intended to represent a combination of multiple procedures. There are certain procedures included in a mommy makeover, such as a breast reduction, that can, in rare cases, be covered by certain insurance plans. Most of the procedures included are considered elective and will, therefore, not be covered. We explain more about insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery on our Breast Reduction page.
Insurance usually lists a variety of requirements for coverage on these procedures, and the approval process can be complicated and painstaking. Colorado Plastic Surgery Center is not contracted with any insurance plans, choosing instead to work directly with patients without third-party interference in their medical decision-making. This allows patients to get the surgeries they desire without delay or interference. We also believe that patients should have the freedom to choose their plastic surgeon based on a variety of factors such as results, education, and training - not based on who their insurance plan says they have to go to. We also recognize that this can be a big investment, so we are happy to assist you in obtaining financing for this procedure. We are affiliated with a few companies that offer financing for cosmetic surgery.

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 procedure), costs will naturally vary from patient to patient. The final cost of a mommy makeover will depend on your own goals and anatomy, which can affect factors like surgical time or additional materials. You can speak with one of our expert Patient Care Coordinators for a more tailored price estimate.
