Our Featured Mommy Makeover Procedures
These transformative cosmetic procedures can be performed separately or combined to sculpt your entire body:
Breast Lift
Breasts typically increase in size during pregnancy, which loosens the ligaments that support them and stretches the skin. A breast lift can make drooping breasts youthful and perky again. Women with larger, sagging breasts after childbirth will benefit most from a breast lift.
Breast Augmentation
Deflated-looking breasts after childbirth and breastfeeding can also be addressed by restoring volume. Breast augmentation with implants can increase your breast size, giving you a firmer, fuller bustline. Dr. Perez often combines augmentation with a breast lift for optimal results.
Tummy Tuck
Depending on your amount of abdominal fat, muscle laxity, and skin quality, Dr. Perez may recommend a tummy tuck to remove and tighten excess skin. This procedure can also tighten stretched abdominal muscles. A mini tummy tuck may be an option if you have minimal excess skin or loosened abdominal muscles.
Liposuction
Dr. Perez can perform a liposuction tummy tuck to give your abdomen, hips, and flank sexy, sweeping curves. The procedure uses a hollow surgical instrument to remove unwanted fat from targeted areas. Dr. Perez often combines this procedure with cosmetic breast surgery so the upper and mid-sections of your body are balanced.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Another post-pregnancy change can be sagging buttocks. Dr. Perez can perform a Brazilian butt lift using state-of-the-art fat grafting and liposuction to give your butt a lifted, toned, and more athletic appearance.
How Much Do Mommy Makeovers Cost?
The price of a mommy makeover performed at our Tampa, FL, office can vary depending on the complexity of your treatment plan and how many procedures you receive.
Currently, the average price of a mommy makeover without a breast lift is approximately $15,800. If you desire a breast lift, the cost will increase to $18,800. Prices can be discussed during your consultation, but remember, this is an investment in you.
Our practice strongly believes that cost should not deter anyone from obtaining plastic surgery and the body of their dreams. For this reason, Dr. Perez accepts low and no interest financing through CareCredit® and Prosper Healthcare Lending.
Am I a Good Mommy Makeover Candidate?
Dr. Perez can discuss your mommy makeover candidacy in detail during your no-pressure consultation, which can be done in our Tampa, FL, plastic surgery office or virtually from the comfort of your home. But in general, you are a good candidate if:
- You do not have a history of blood clots, clotting disorders, cancer, or miscarriages.
- You are not taking birth control pills, which can increase the risk of post-surgery blood clots.
- Your overall health is good and your weight has been stable over the past 6-12 months.
- You are near your ideal body weight.
- You do not plan on having more children and your last child was born at least nine months before procedures are scheduled.
- You have not breastfed your child for at least six months.
What Is Mommy Makeover Recovery Like?
Recovery
Mommy makeover recovery times can vary, but patients are generally able to return to work in one to two weeks.
Surgery
A mommy makeover typically takes four to five hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
Recovery Garments
Immediately after surgery, patients are placed in compression garments that must be worn for six weeks to help support and shape the healing tissues. If drains are placed, they are generally removed in the office in 7-10 days.
Recovery Period
Recovery times following a mommy makeover vary, but patients are generally able to return to work in one to two weeks, enjoy light exercise in about three weeks, and experience full recovery after five to six weeks.
Medication
Antibiotics and pain medication will be prescribed by Dr. Perez following your surgeries.
Are Mommy Makeovers Safe?
Many moms put off cosmetic surgery because they are worried that something may go wrong during the procedure. Safety is of the utmost importance at Dr. Perez’s surgical practice. Our on-site surgical center is staffed with experienced board-certified anesthesiologists and certified operating room nurses. Dr. Perez follows all standard safety guidelines. For example, fat removed during liposuction treatments of any kind cannot exceed set maximum limits.
Dr. Perez will not schedule several mommy makeover procedures for a patient on the same day, as this can be physically taxing on the patient’s body. Instead, he will separate the procedures by a few months to allow the patient to heal properly.
Despite our high patient satisfaction rate, there are very rare but possible side effects that can occur:
Blood Clots
Occasionally, tummy tucks can result in blood clots in the legs and lungs. However, this only occurs in approximately 1% of patients.
Wound Breakdowns
A small percentage of tummy tuck patients may experience minor wound breakdowns, fluid buildup under the skin, or contour irregularities on the sides of the incision.
Unusual Bleeding
1-3% of breast surgery patients may experience unusual bleeding, while less than 1% develop an infection related to an implant.
Permanent Sensitivity
Any change in breast or nipple sensation after surgery is typically temporary. Only 15% of patients have permanent sensitivity issues.
Dr. Perez examines all of his patients the day after surgery so that in the unlikely event of a complication, it can be diagnosed and treated quickly and efficiently.

Mommy Makeovers FAQ
Changing Lives in Tampa, FL
-
Because pregnancy can alter the body so drastically, we suggest waiting until you are certain you are done having children as any subsequent pregnancy and breastfeeding can undo any results you may have achieved from cosmetic surgery.
-
Insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures because they are not medically necessary. While a breast reduction may be covered, other procedures performed in a mommy makeover will likely not be covered. However, we will verify your coverage before treatment begins. We also accept flexible financing to eliminate financial barriers.
-
While some procedures like liposuction and a tummy tuck can remove excessive skin and fat, which can reduce your weight slightly, these procedures are not designed to help you lose weight. In fact, you will need to be at a healthy and stable weight before surgery to allow your plastic surgeon to provide you with the best results possible.
