Pregnancy and aging can have major effects on your body. On top of that, regardless of a strict diet and frequent exercise, it is often impossible to get back to your pre-baby figure.
But every hard-working mom deserves to achieve her cosmetic goals and feel confident about the way she looks. This year, restore and rejuvenate your body by treating yourself to a mommy makeover. Women travel to Fort Worth, TX, from Mansfield, Abilene, and beyond to our plastic surgery center for the procedure.
Some common concerns of women post-pregnancy include:
- Sagging or deflated breasts
- Excess fat around the midsection, thighs, hips, and buttocks

Is the Mommy Makeover Surgery Worth It?
Earning a 96% “Worth It” rating on RealSelf.com, a mommy makeover offers several advantages. Most importantly, you will be able to see transformative results in a few weeks, as demonstrated in our gallery of before-and-after photos.
Additionally, a mommy makeover can address all your concerns in a single surgery, reducing your exposure to anesthesia. You will also only need 1 recovery period, rather than 1 for each separate procedure. Last, a combination procedure can be financially beneficial because you’ll only pay once for anesthesia and facility fees.
How Long Does It Take to Recover From Mommy Makeover Surgery?
Depending on the combination of procedures you select, your mommy makeover surgery may take 4 to 8 hours to complete. It’s also important to know that combination surgery requires significant downtime, and you must follow strict post-operative instructions. However, for many women the benefits of having multiple procedures at once outweigh these other considerations.

Your Non-Surgical Options For a Mommy Makeover
For women who want to achieve their aesthetic goals without surgery, we also offer non-surgical options that can provide beautiful results without the need for long recovery periods. Two of our most popular non-surgical treatments for moms include:
- CoolSculpting®: This non-invasive body sculpting treatment uses precise cooling to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat. Patients often undergo a few treatments to achieve optimal results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Options?
Ideal candidates for these non-surgical treatments are:
- In good overall health
- Close to their goal weight
- Not concerned with excess skin
- Not concerned with altering their breasts
What Is the Downtime for Non-Surgical Mommy Makeover?
CoolSculpting requires little to no downtime. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after your appointments. They are also quick treatments—many patients schedule them on their lunch breaks or in between errands. Unlike surgical procedures, the results from these treatments are not immediate and normally take a few months to resolve.
Many women also appreciate that these treatments don’t require anesthesia. During CoolSculpting, patients may feel an intense cold sensation during the first few minutes but soon feel numb and without discomfort.
