Pregnancy changes everything—including your body. For many women, diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to address stretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or changes in breast tissue. A mommy makeover is a fully customized approach to help restore your pre-baby body with safe, proven plastic surgery techniques.
At Healy Plastic Surgery in Honolulu, Dr. Jeff Healy performs every mommy makeover surgery with precision, compassion, and a deep understanding of how motherhood reshapes both your body and your self-image.
Whether you're looking to tighten your core, lift your breasts, or smooth and sculpt multiple areas, your surgical plan will be built entirely around your goals and anatomy. This is about helping you feel like yourself again with results that look natural and last.

A mommy makeover is a customized surgical procedure that addresses the physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. Most commonly, it includes a tummy tuck to repair abdominal muscles and remove excess skin, along with breast surgery—such as a breast lift, breast augmentation, or breast reduction—to restore shapeliness and lift. Additional body contouring procedures like liposuction or fat grafting may be added to further refine the abdominal area, flanks, or thighs.
Rather than undergoing multiple surgeries over time, a mommy makeover procedure allows for multiple procedures to be performed in a single surgery, with one recovery period. This streamlined approach helps many women reclaim their self-confidence sooner while minimizing overall downtime.
While each plan is tailored to your needs, most mommy makeovers include:
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) – This procedure involves removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles that may have separated during pregnancy (diastasis recti). The result is a firmer, flatter midsection with improved strength and tone.
Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation – Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to sagging breasts, loss of volume, or changes in breast size. Depending on your goals, Dr. Healy may recommend a breast lift alone or combined with breast implants for added fullness. In some cases, a breast reduction may be appropriate to address discomfort from overly large breast tissue.
Liposuction – Liposuction may be used to remove stubborn fat deposits in the flanks, hips, or thighs. This helps create smooth transitions between treated areas for a natural-looking result.
You may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover if:
This procedure is designed for women’s bodies after childbirth—not to achieve “perfection” but to restore comfort, strength, and confidence. During your surgical consultation, Dr. Healy will guide you through your options, timeline, and expectations.
The mommy makeover offers more than a physical transformation—it’s a restorative experience for women looking to reconnect with their bodies after childbirth. By combining targeted cosmetic surgery procedures, this approach delivers comprehensive results with a single recovery timeline.
Rather than undergoing multiple surgeries over time, a mommy makeover procedure addresses several areas in one operation. That means one recovery period and a faster path to lasting results.
Pregnancy can cause abdominal muscles to separate (diastasis recti), leading to core weakness and bulging. A tummy tuck restores muscle integrity and removes excess skin, helping you regain function and comfort in your core.
Whether you’ve experienced volume loss, sagging skin, or unwanted changes in breast size, a breast lift, augmentation, or reduction can restore symmetry and elevate your shape, aligning with your personal goals for breast enhancement.
Through body contouring procedures like liposuction, Dr. Healy smooths transitions between areas to enhance your silhouette.
Many patients say their self-confidence improves significantly after surgery. The benefits of a mommy makeover are not just about how you look but how you feel.
Each mommy makeover plan is uniquely tailored to your goals. Dr. Jeff Healy is here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and experienced surgical care.
Your mommy makeover recovery will depend on the specific procedures included in your plan. Most patients stay home for the first few weeks, avoiding lifting and strenuous activity while the body heals. You’ll be provided with compression garments and prescription medications, and given clear instructions to support comfort and minimize complications.
Because a mommy makeover is a multiple-procedure surgery, there will be some swelling and soreness, especially in the abdominal area. Most patients feel ready to resume light activity in about 2–3 weeks and gradually return to normal routines over 6–8 weeks. Dr. Healy and our team will monitor your healing and adjust your plan as needed.
Once swelling subsides, your shape and appearance will gradually reveal a more toned, lifted, and balanced look. Whether it’s a flatter stomach, lifted breast tissue, or smoother contours, the results are designed to feel natural and reflect your personal goals.
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Jeff Healy, your mommy makeover results can last many years, especially when paired with a healthy diet, regular movement, and stable weight. Most women report not just physical transformation, but emotional renewal and improved self-confidence.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience, Dr. Jeff Healy brings a level of care that goes far beyond surgical skill. Every procedure is approached with precision, discretion, and a genuine respect for your body and your goals. At Healy Plastic Surgery, your experience is grounded in trust.
Our clinic is equipped with a private, accredited operating suite, and you’ll receive care from a highly trained team dedicated to safety, comfort, and beautiful outcomes. For many patients, a mommy makeover is not just about recovery—it’s about rediscovery. Dr. Healy and our team are here to guide you there.
We recommend waiting at least 6 months after childbirth, and longer if you’re still breastfeeding. Your abdominal muscles and breast tissue need time to stabilize before surgery.
If you’ve recently stopped breastfeeding, your milk supply should not be affected. Breast surgery is typically postponed until lactation has fully ended.
Yes, but it’s best to wait until you’re finished having children. Future pregnancies may reverse your results.
That depends on your needs. Most plans include a tummy tuck and breast lift, with optional breast implants or liposuction. Dr. Healy will personalize your plan during your consultation.
Expect 2–3 weeks of limited activity, with full recovery in 6–8 weeks. You’ll wear compression garments and follow detailed aftercare instructions to support healing.
