About Mommy Makeovers
A mommy makeover is a combination of different procedures that each aim to address the physical changes associated with pregnancy. Mommy makeovers are highly popular for their ability to effectively address multiple parts of the body at once with only a single recovery, and often consist of breast enhancement and body contouring procedures. At The Aeris, we offer breast augmentation, breast lifts, tummy tucks, and liposuction to help each patient restore their figure.
Breast Augmentation with Implants
Breast augmentation is a procedure designed to enhance the shape and fullness of the breasts using implants. We offer both silicone and saline implants, each ranging in size and shape to help you achieve your desired sculpt.
Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a variation of breast augmentation that utilizes your own fat instead of implants. Our surgeons can use liposuction techniques to take viable fat from other parts of the body before purifying and reinjecting it into the breasts. This procedure is ideal for those who want to enhance their chest through natural methods, with the added benefit of reducing unwanted fat in the donor area.
Breast Lift
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure that elevates the position of the breasts on the chest wall to help alleviate sagging or deflated breasts. If you are experiencing drooping tissue or malpositioned nipples, a breast lift can help reshape and reposition the breast tissue for a more uplifted appearance. Our surgeons can also reshape and reposition the nipple-areolar complex if necessary. (1)
Liposuction
Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that aims to eliminate stubborn deposits of fat from around the body. Your surgeon can perform this procedure by using a tumescent solution containing epinephrine, local anesthetic, and saline to help make the fat cells easier to remove. (2)
A suctioning cannula is then used to remove the fat cells, creating a more sculpted appearance.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a popular body contouring procedure that removes excess tissue and fat from the abdomen. During pregnancy, many women also experience a separation of their abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Our surgeons can perform this procedure to tighten the muscles and abdominal wall, restoring a flatter midsection. (3)
Benefits
A mommy makeover offers numerous benefits, including:
- More Youthful Appearance: A mommy makeover can help patients contour their bodies to look more youthful.
- Improved Self-Esteem: Many women feel more confident in their bodies after seeing their results.
- Tailored Approach: Each mommy makeover is customized based on the individual’s goals and anatomy, effectively addressing their unique concerns and ensuring personalized outcomes.
- Multiple Procedures: Combining several different procedures allows for a single recovery period rather than multiple recovery periods.
- Targeted Body Contouring: Liposuction and tummy tucks offer targeted approaches to eliminate stubborn deposits of fatty tissue from around the body.
- Enhanced Breast Volume and Shape: Breast augmentation and breast lifts can rejuvenate the chest, providing more definition and fullness.
- Lasting Results: When paired with a healthy lifestyle, patients can enjoy results that last for years.
Candidates
Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover typically include women who are seeking to enhance their figure and restore a pre-pregnancy silhouette. However, anyone interested in addressing multiple parts of their body at once may also make a suitable candidate, not just mothers. All candidates should be in good overall health without any underlying medical conditions that may impact the procedure or results. Patients should be nonsmokers or willing to discontinue smoking until they have made a full recovery. Women should also be finished expanding their families, as significant fluctuations in weight or future pregnancy can alter the results of the procedure. Whether or not you are a suitable candidate will be determined during your consultation.
Personal Consultation
Your mommy makeover procedure will begin with a personal consultation. Your surgeon will meet with you to explain the details of the mommy makeover procedure before conversing with you about your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals. A physical evaluation will also take place.
Once the surgeon has determined your candidacy, they will plan your procedure. They will recommend specific procedures to help you address your concerns and may even suggest additional treatments to help you achieve your goals. Preoperative and postoperative instructions will be given, as well as a price quote. We encourage you to prepare and ask any questions you may have about mommy makeovers or plastic surgery in general.

Preparation
Your surgeon will provide you with preoperative instructions during your consultation. Each instruction must be followed to facilitate a smooth recovery and the best possible results.
You will need to stop taking certain medications and herbal supplements with blood-thinning properties. Smoking and other nicotine use should be fully abstained from for several weeks in advance and during your recovery. Consuming alcohol should also be avoided before and after the procedure.
You will need to take time away from work and other commitments, and transportation home should be arranged. Any prescriptions or medications should be picked up in advance. Because anesthesia is used during a mommy makeover, patients should also arrange for at-home assistance throughout their initial healing period.
Procedure
General anesthesia will be administered to ensure you remain relaxed and pain-free throughout the procedure. Your surgeon will perform the predetermined procedures, helping you achieve your desired results. Once finished, you will be monitored by The Aeris team as your anesthesia wears off.
Mommy makeovers are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning an overnight stay is not typically required. The duration of each procedure can vary depending on your personalized procedure plan. Additional details will be provided during your consultation.
Recovery
Each patient’s recovery time will depend on several factors, such as the combination of procedures performed and their healing response. Your surgeon will provide a set of postoperative instructions to help guide you as you heal.
It is normal to experience effects such as bruising, swelling, or mild discomfort in treated areas. These effects are temporary and may be managed using prescribed pain medications. You may also be required to wear a supportive garment to help minimize swelling and protect your new figure as you recover.
Many patients are often able to return to work within one to two weeks, depending on the nature of their careers. Strenuous or physical activities, however, should be avoided for several more weeks. You may be asked to attend follow-up appointments as you heal so that our team may monitor your progress and ensure a smooth recovery.
Results
You may notice a difference in your figure immediately after the procedure, but the final results will become more noticeable as you continue to heal. You will be able to notice an improvement in your contours and silhouette, as well as an overall more proportionate figure.
Our mommy makeover is also associated with a high patient satisfaction rate and has helped numerous patients enhance their self-esteem and body confidence.
Cost of Mommy Makeover in Miami
