Pregnancy and childbirth bring incredible joy — but also lasting physical changes. Many women experience loose abdominal skin, stretched muscles, and breast volume loss that diet and exercise can’t fully address.

A Mommy Makeover restores confidence by improving these concerns. But timing is key — when is the best time to schedule your surgery?

At the Plastic Surgery Group at City Centre, our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons specialize in Mommy Makeover procedures, providing comprehensive care in a modern facility across from Surrey Memorial Hospital.

We help women throughout British Columbia achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with a personalized approach. Planning is a big part of our personalized mommy makeovers, and that all starts with choosing the ideal time for your surgery.

The Best Time to Schedule a Mommy Makeover

For the best long-term outcome, consider these factors before moving forward with surgery:

• You’re Done Having Children: Pregnancy can undo your surgical results, so if you’re planning more children (or if you’re not quite sure) it’s best to wait.
• You’re at a Stable Weight: You should be at (or close to) your goal weight and be committed to maintaining your weight long term.
• You’ve Finished Breastfeeding: Wait until you’re done breastfeeding for at least six months to a year. This allows your breasts time to return to their regular form and provides the best starting place for surgery.
• You Have Time to Recover: Plan for at least two to four weeks of downtime. You can’t lift anything heavy (including your kids) during this time, so arrange childcare help if needed.
• You’re in Good Health: Good overall health lowers complication risks and helps you recover quickly.

What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover combines multiple procedures to address post-pregnancy changes. Each plan is tailored to the individual, but common options include:

• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes sagging, loose skin and tightens loose and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti, which affects many women after pregnancy.)
• Breast Surgery: Many women aren’t happy with their breasts after pregnancy. Whether your breasts look deflated, saggy, or much smaller than before, a mommy makeover can correct your concerns. The most common breast surgeries during a mommy makeover are augmentation (breast implants) and breast lift.
• Liposuction: Removes stubborn fat pockets in areas like the waist, hips, or thighs. While liposuction isn’t always needed, many moms have specific trouble areas that don’t improve with diet and exercise. Liposuction can precisely eliminate that fat and help create smooth contours.

A Mommy Makeover provides a dramatic transformation with just one recovery period by addressing multiple concerns simultaneously.
