Mommy Makeover
In Reno,
NV
A mommy makeover is a series of procedures designed to address physical changes that occur after pregnancy and childbirth including stretch marks, loose skin, changes in breast shape and size, and the weakening of your abdominal muscles. While a mommy makeover isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, common procedures involved include:
- Tummy tuck: Removes excess skin and tightens your abdominal muscles to create a flatter, more toned stomach.
- Liposuction: Targets unwanted fat deposits from areas such as your abdomen, hips, and thighs to sculpt a smoother, more toned physique.
- Breast augmentation: Increases the size and fullness of your breasts.
- Breast lift: Improves the shape and position of your breasts.
Dr. Virden uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and restore your confidence well into motherhood.

What to expect during your mommy makeover
Dr. Virden will start with a consultation to understand your goals and medical history. This allows for a safe recommendation of the ideal procedures for you. Your customized plan may involve a single surgery or a staged approach to achieve your desired outcome. This plan could include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body contouring procedures including a thigh lift or arm lift.
The procedure itself takes between three to five hours to complete. We’ll provide detailed instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery at home. Dr. Virden will discuss all options and develop a customized plan tailored to you.
anticipated results
While recovery takes several months, you can expect to return to most daily activities within four to six weeks. Dr. Virden will have to clear you for exercise.
Stretch marks often improve significantly after surgery, and we may further minimize their appearance with laser treatments, microdermabrasion, or microneedling. While some scarring is inevitable, Dr. Virden uses advanced techniques and discreet locations to ensure minimal marks. The complete transformation can take up to a year, but the results will last 10-plus years, depending on how healthy of a lifestyle you live.
Mommy Makeover FAQs
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and breast lift to address loose skin, stretch marks, and unwanted fat deposits after childbirth, helping you reclaim your pre-pregnancy figure and boost your confidence.
How Long Is a Mommy Makeover Surgery?
Most mommy makeovers take three to five hours to complete, but procedures can be longer or shorter depending on the complexity and the number of areas addressed.
What Is Included in a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover isn’t a single procedure, but a customized combination of surgeries designed to address post-pregnancy body changes. A mommy makeover typically includes liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and other body contouring procedures, like thigh or arm lifts.
How Long Does a Mommy Makeover Last?
A mommy makeover can last at least 10 years, but it can last longer depending on your lifestyle.
What Is the Ideal Weight for a Mommy Makeover?
There isn’t necessarily an ideal weight for a mommy makeover. It’s more about being close to your healthy weight and having realistic expectations. Most surgeons recommend being within 10 to 20 pounds of your ideal weight for optimal results and safety during surgery.
How Many Sizes Do You Go down After a Mommy Makeover?
Some women may drop one to two sizes, but some may drop more. It’s hard to predict because this procedure is more focused on body contour as opposed to weight loss, and the amount of fat removal is different for everyone.
How Much Fat Is Removed in a Mommy Makeover?
The exact amount of fat removed is difficult to pinpoint because it’s a customized procedure. Factors that influence the amount of fat removal include your body composition, what areas are targeted, and what your desired outcomes are. There’s also a limit to how much fat can be removed in one surgery to minimize risks.
How Long Is Bed Rest After a Mommy Makeover?
There’s not a significant period of strict bed rest after this procedure. While extensive bed rest isn’t recommended, prioritizing rest and taking it easy is important for healing. You’ll likely be encouraged to start walking short distances soon after surgery and gradually increase your activity level as you heal. Your doctor will provide specific instructions on how much activity is appropriate during your recovery.
Does Insurance Cover a Mommy Makeover?
Mommy makeovers are considered elective cosmetic surgery and not covered by insurance. Consulting your provider is recommended to confirm details, but be prepared for potential out-of-pocket costs if insurance won’t cover it.
