Woman showing mommy makeover after results

You love your family, but you may not love every lasting change pregnancy left behind. A mommy makeover can restore your body’s contours by addressing concerns that remain after pregnancy, but the best results start with knowing when you’re truly ready for surgery.

At The Plastic Surgery Center in Sacramento, CA, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Wayne Yamahata, Dr. Scott Green, Dr. Rudy Coscia, and Dr. Patrick Hancock have helped women throughout Sacramento, Granite Bay, Roseville, and Northern California achieve natural-looking results since 1969. They create customized treatment plans based on each woman’s goals and anatomy.

5 Signs You May Be a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover

Here are five signs that you may be a good candidate for this combination of body contouring procedures:

  • You Have Finished Having Children: Future pregnancies can stretch your skin and abdominal muscles again, which may affect your long-term results. Most surgeons recommend waiting until your family is complete before scheduling surgery.
  • Your Weight Is Stable: Reaching and maintaining a healthy, consistent weight before surgery supports smoother healing and longer-lasting body-contouring results.
  • Pregnancy Left Changes That Exercise Cannot Correct: Loose abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles, sagging breasts, or stubborn fat pockets often remain despite healthy eating and regular exercise. A mommy makeover can address these concerns with a customized combination of procedures.
  • You Are in Good Overall Health: Being in good physical health, not smoking, and having any medical conditions well managed can help reduce surgical risks and support a smoother recovery.
  • You Have Realistic Expectations: A mommy makeover can restore your body’s contours and improve your confidence, but it is important to understand what surgery can realistically achieve and to have clear goals for your results.
