Mommy Makeover
Welcome to our Maryland plastic surgery practice, led by Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Bennett C. Yang, MD, and our experienced medical staff. We are dedicated to your personalized care and make great efforts to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Get your post-baby body back
Motherhood is a wonderful, transformative journey that can bring immeasurable joy; however, it can also bring challenging physical changes.
After nine months of pregnancy, you may wonder whether you can get your pre-baby figure back. When you are finished having babies, there’s something that can help get your body back to the shape you desire. Ask Maryland’s Top Mommy Makeover Surgeon, Dr. Bennett C. Yang, about custom surgical procedures that focus on all the areas of your body that were affected by pregnancy.
Most of the changes that occur are due to the enlargement of the abdomen from carrying the baby and the enlargement of the breasts. Many women also undergo changes in their faces, hips, thighs, and arms after weight gain during pregnancy. As all these tissues enlarge, they weaken and lose their elasticity. This is not noticeable while the skin is stretched by the baby during pregnancy or by the extra fluid in the mom’s body; however, after delivery, it can become very apparent, with sagging skin, stretch marks, and excess fatty areas, it may be time for restoration.
A mommy makeover can firm, restore structure, and improve the elasticity of loose and saggy skin and tissue.
What Is A Mommy Makeover?
What Is A Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures to give back your body its younger pre-baby look, a more toned and attractive shape. Depending on your needs, a mommy makeover can flatten and firm your abdomen, reshape your breasts, remove stubborn pockets of fat front and back, smooth and tighten sagging, loose skin, and make other improvements to your appearance.
Each makeover is personalized to achieve your aesthetic goals. Most mommy makeovers involve a tummy tuck, a breast lift or augmentation, and 360 VASER Liposuction.
Dr. Yang uses these surgeries to address his patients’ specific concerns, including stubborn fat surrounding the abdomen, a loss of skin elasticity, and changes in breast shape or size.
You can also choose to add procedures, such as a bra area lift or a Brazilian butt lift (BBL).
After Rapid Weight Loss
Despite its name, a mommy makeover surgery isn’t only for mothers. It is also an effective solution for anyone seeking to enhance their body contour, such as those who have lost significant weight.
Get Back To How You Looked Before Your Pregnancy
Losing a significant amount of weight is an incredible achievement. Still many patients struggle with what the mirror shows.
If you have loose skin around your belly, and your breasts look a little “deflated” from the weight loss, a makeover surgery can be considered to help. Sometimes stubborn pockets of fat won’t go away even when the scale says you did the work.
A mommy makeover isn’t a single procedure, but rather a set of plastic surgery procedures to reshape your body so you can finish your weight loss transformation and feel confident in your new self. If you lost weight by having weight loss surgery, diet and exercise, or GLP‑1 medications, a mommy makeover can address excess skin, sagging skin, and resistant fat to give you the total new look of your dreams.
A mommy makeover can help you regain your pre-pregnancy body, it’s very important to remember that its not a weight-loss surgery. You should be at or near your ideal weight before considering having a mommy makeover.
Most Popular Mommy Makeover Surgeries
A tummy tuck removes the excess skin and fat from your abdomen. It will also tighten the abdominal muscles, giving you a flatter, more toned appearance. Most tummy tucks are performed after significant weight loss or post pregnancy, when the skin and muscles have been stretched beyond their natural limit.
Makeover surgery is not just for people who have recently lost weight. It can also benefit people who have never been overweight but are unhappy with their abdominal appearance. Tummy tuck surgery can give you a sleeker, more youthful look and even boost confidence and self-esteem.
VASER Liposuction can remove stubborn pockets of fat from different areas of the body. It can be performed on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, it can also be used to target other areas, such as the chin, arms, bra roll and back.
You can also consider adding a Brazilian butt lift to your makeover treatment plan!
Breast Surgery After Weight Loss
A breast lift can help many patients when they see that their breasts no longer look like they did before pregnancy. Some find in addition to having stretch marks and volume loss, their breasts can also sag and droop. For many patients, this can be a source of insecurity.
Repositioning of the nipple and lifting the breasts is the best way to address skin and ligament laxity as the breasts themselves do not have muscle tissue within them and the ligaments are the only support from the chest wall.
It is often combined with a breast augmentation. This comprehensive approach can help you to regain your confidence and feel like yourself again.
Combining a breast augmentation with a breast lift will reshape the breasts’ size, shape, or fullness. Breast augmentation does not lift the breasts, but it will reshape them and provides added volume if you decide to add implants. This approach allows patients to address both sagging breasts and volume loss in one surgery.
By combining the two procedures, Dr. Yang can lift your breasts to a higher, more youthful position while also adding fullness and enhancing the overall shape with implants. Some patients feel self-conscious about their breasts and want to improve their appearance. Others may want to correct breasts that are asymmetrical or have lost volume due to weight loss or pregnancy.
This combination will restore the youth and beauty to your breasts.

Do You Have Mommy Makeover Questions??
Common Questions... Ask Dr. Bennett C. Yang
How Soon After Pregnancy Can I Get A Mommy Makeover?
The general recommendation from board-certified plastic surgeons, including guidelines referenced by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), is to wait at least 6 months after giving birth before undergoing a mommy makeover (a combination of procedures like tummy tuck, breast lift/augmentation, liposuction, etc.) or 3 months after the last breast feeding completed. You should be back to regular menstrual cycles before having surgery.
Should I Wait Until I Am Done Having Children, Before I Get A Mommy Makeover?
Ideally, it’s best to do the mommy makeover after you are finished having children. The changes your body goes through can recur if you get pregnant and deliver after surgery. This will have an effect on your surgical outcome and likely need further surgery.
Is A Mommy Makeover Safe?
Yes, Mommy makeovers are safe when performed by a full board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited surgery center under the care of a board-certified anesthetist. Taking into account the patient’s medical history and test results, we will assess the factors that would “clear” someone for surgery.
Surgical time/complexity, as well as underlying health issues, all play a role in the procedure’s overall safety.
Can You Get A Breast Lift With Existing Implants After Weight Loss?
Yes, you can absolutely get a breast lift (mastopexy) with existing breast implants after weight loss, and it’s a common revision procedure for women who’ve experienced sagging or deflation due to significant weight changes. Weight loss doesn’t affect the implants themselves (they don’t “drop” or change shape), but it often reduces the volume of surrounding breast tissue, stretches the skin, and leads to ptosis (sagging), making the breasts appear lower or less full. A breast lift addresses this by removing excess skin, tightening tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex, and often adjusting the implant pocket for better support and
symmetry.
How Long Is The Recovery From A Mommy Makeover?
Most mommy makeover patients need 2 full weeks off of in person work. You can resume at-home work when you feel comfortable doing so. Typically, around day three, you are back to light exercise after 1 month and full exercise after 2 months. Final healing of the scars and surgery can
take up to a year.
Am I Too Old For A Mommy Makeover?
Age is one factor that every plastic surgeon will consider. However, total body health is more important in determining who is a good candidate for a mommy makeover. The average age for this is 40 years old. I have successfully treated patients well into their sixties. Other factors, such as weight, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiac disease, are all more concerning factors than age alone.

My niece recommended Dr. Yang to me when I was looking for someone to preform my breast reduction. He had been her doctor in the past and said he was excellent. She was absolutely correct. Dr. Yang is professional and caring. He explained the procedure and told me what to expect after it was completed. I felt valued as a patient. I received excellent care and my surgery was very successful. I have been very pleased with the results. His staff is also friendly and welcoming. This is truly a top-notched care facility. I highly recommend Dr. Bennett Yang to anyone seeking plastic surgery.

Greetings!
On May 23, 2022 I had a lipo/ BBL, and a breast augmentation. From the beginning, I found Dr. Yang to be very honest. He’s definitely not the type of Dr. that’s going to tell you what you want to hear, he’s going to tell you the absolute truth. I am thoroughly pleased with my results. The professionalism from everyone starting with Bonnie to the receptionists, and staff were outstanding. Looking forward to getting more done soon. You can’t go wrong with Dr. Yang!!!!
