Mommy Makeover: Why Not You?

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover refers to a personalized combination of cosmetic surgeries designed to help women regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. It often includes procedures such as:

• Breast lift or augmentation
• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
• Liposuction
• Labiaplasty (nymphoplasty)
• Non-surgical treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers

But it’s more than just surgery. A Mommy Makeover is a comprehensive approach, offering physical restoration and emotional support, acknowledging that pregnancy impacts both the body and mind.

Doctors Yaël Berdah and Marc-David Benjoar, aesthetic surgeons based in Paris, explain how this treatment can restore confidence and well-being after childbirth.

Why More and More Women Are Choosing Mommy Makeovers

Pregnancy and childbirth often leave long-term changes that no amount of diet or exercise can fully reverse. It’s normal not to feel entirely comfortable in your new body.

That’s why many mothers are turning to Mommy Makeovers—to feel like themselves again.

At our practice, we believe no woman should feel guilty about wanting to look and feel better. Taking care of yourself is not selfish—it’s empowering.

What Does a Mommy Makeover Involve?

Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to individual needs. The most commonly requested surgical procedures include:

• Breast lift: To reshape and elevate sagging breasts.
• Tummy tuck: To tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin.
• Liposuction: To eliminate stubborn fat deposits, typically around the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
• Breast augmentation: Using implants to restore volume lost during breastfeeding or enhance size.
• Scar revision: Particularly for C-section scars that may heal poorly or appear prominent.

Depending on the patient’s goals and health profile, the procedures may be performed in a single operation lasting between 1.5 to 4 hours. Combining surgeries reduces the need for multiple rounds of general anesthesia and compresses total recovery time.

The Emotional and Psychological Benefits

A Mommy Makeover is about more than just aesthetics. The physical transformation often leads to significant psychological benefits:

• Boosted self-esteem and body confidence
• Improved mood and sense of well-being
• Reconnection with personal identity beyond motherhood

Being able to wear your favorite clothes again or feel confident in a swimsuit can be incredibly empowering.

We support our patients every step of the way, ensuring that you feel emotionally and physically prepared before, during, and after your makeover journey.

Preparing for Your Mommy Makeover: A Few Tips

• Pre-surgical blood work is essential to minimize the risk of blood clots (phlebitis).
• Stabilize your weight before surgery for better and longer-lasting results.
• Resume light physical activity after recovery to maintain your results and promote healing.

Reimbursement?
In certain cases, procedures such as abdominoplasty may be partially covered by French social security (Assurance Maladie) if they qualify as reconstructive rather than cosmetic. Ask your surgeon for more details.
