Mommy Makeover in Las Vegas
Restore your pre-pregnancy body with a customized combination of procedures
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is not a single procedure — it is a personalized combination of surgeries performed together to address the physical changes that pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childbirth cause to a woman's body. The specific procedures included are tailored to each patient's individual needs and goals.
- Tighten separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Remove excess skin from the abdomen
- Restore breast volume, shape, and position
- Eliminate stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Achieve comprehensive body restoration in a single surgical session
Why Mothers Choose a Mommy Makeover
Pregnancy and breastfeeding cause significant changes to the body that no amount of diet and exercise can fully reverse. Abdominal muscles separate, skin stretches beyond its ability to retract, breasts lose volume and sag, and stubborn fat deposits settle in new places. A mommy makeover addresses all of these concerns in one comprehensive surgical session, allowing mothers to restore their pre-pregnancy body and confidence with a single recovery period.
Mommy Makeover Procedures
Each mommy makeover is customized. Dr. Troell will recommend the combination of procedures that best addresses your specific concerns and goals.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while repairing separated abdominal muscles. This is the cornerstone of most mommy makeovers, restoring a flat, toned midsection that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve after pregnancy.
Breast Augmentation
Restores or enhances breast volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Implants or fat transfer can achieve fuller, more youthful breasts that complement your restored body proportions.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Lifts and reshapes breasts that have sagged after breastfeeding. Removes excess skin and repositions the nipple for a more youthful, uplifted appearance. Can be combined with augmentation for both lift and volume.
Liposuction
Removes stubborn fat deposits that accumulate during pregnancy and resist post-baby diet and exercise efforts. Common treatment areas include the flanks, hips, thighs, and back for a more sculpted overall contour.

Mommy Makeover Recovery Timeline
Initial Recovery
The first few days require the most rest. Expect significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Drains may be placed for the tummy tuck. A support garment and surgical bra must be worn. Arrange for help at home, especially with young children.
Early Healing
Drains are typically removed within 1-2 weeks. Swelling and bruising begin to diminish. Light walking is encouraged. Avoid bending, lifting, and straining. You will walk slightly hunched if you had a tummy tuck — this is normal and temporary.
Returning to Normal
Most patients return to desk work around week 3-4. Standing upright becomes comfortable. Light activities resume. Continue wearing compression garments as directed. No heavy lifting or strenuous exercise until cleared.
Final Results
Swelling fully resolves and final results become apparent. Scars continue to mature and fade. Full exercise can resume with surgeon approval. The comprehensive transformation becomes fully visible.

Mommy Makeover FAQs
How long does a mommy makeover take?
A mommy makeover typically takes 4-6 hours depending on the combination of procedures included. Because multiple surgeries are performed in one session, the total operating time is less than if each procedure were done separately. Dr. Troell plans the procedure sequence carefully to minimize time under anesthesia while maximizing results.
How painful is a mommy makeover recovery?
The tummy tuck component is typically the most significant source of discomfort. The first 3-5 days are the most uncomfortable, with tightness across the abdomen, soreness in the breasts, and general fatigue. Prescription pain medication manages discomfort effectively. Most patients report that the results are well worth the recovery period.
How long should I wait after my last pregnancy?
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6 months after your last pregnancy and 3-6 months after finishing breastfeeding. This allows your body to return to its baseline weight and hormone levels, ensuring more predictable surgical results. Your body should be at a stable weight before surgery.
When can I return to work after a mommy makeover?
Most patients with desk jobs return to work in 2-3 weeks. Those with physically demanding jobs may need 4-6 weeks. You will need help at home for the first 1-2 weeks, especially if you have young children. Avoid lifting anything over 10 pounds (including children) for at least 4-6 weeks.
What if I want more children after a mommy makeover?
While a future pregnancy will not harm you medically, it can reverse many of the results achieved by your mommy makeover — particularly the tummy tuck and breast procedures. For this reason, most surgeons strongly recommend completing your family before undergoing a mommy makeover. If you do become pregnant afterward, revision procedures are possible.
What procedures are typically included in a mommy makeover?
The most common combination includes a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with either breast augmentation, breast lift, or both. Liposuction is frequently added to sculpt the flanks, hips, or thighs. Every mommy makeover is customized — during your consultation, Dr. Troell will recommend the specific combination that addresses your individual concerns.
