Mommy Makeover

Your path back to a harmonious body feeling.

Mommy Makeover

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are unforgettable phases of life that affect a woman’s body in many ways. Often, these intense experiences leave behind changes that can impair body image—whether it is a sagging abdomen, drooping breasts, or stubborn fat deposits that do not disappear despite exercise and a healthy diet. These changes are normal, but they can affect self-confidence and well-being.

A Mommy Makeover offers an individual solution to correct the effects of pregnancy and childbirth and bring the body image back into balance. Various plastic surgery procedures are combined, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction. Each procedure is tailored to your personal wishes and your anatomical conditions to achieve a harmonious and natural result.

In a detailed consultation with PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg, you will discuss your wishes and goals. On this basis, we will work together to develop an individual treatment plan.

A comprehensive guide

Principle

01

A Mommy Makeover specifically combines several surgical procedures to correct physical changes after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The goal is to restore the original body image and achieve a harmonious silhouette. Different areas of the body are optimized in a single treatment process to achieve both aesthetic and functional improvements. An additional advantage: the procedures can be combined into a single operation, so that there is only one recovery phase.

Technique

02

The Mommy Makeover can include various procedures such as a breast lift or breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and, if necessary, skin tightening. Each procedure is planned individually to meet the specific needs of the patient. Treatment is carried out using modern, gentle techniques to minimize scarring and shorten recovery time.

Areas

03

Typical problem areas treated during a Mommy Makeover are the abdomen, breasts, thighs, and back. If desired, facial features can also be optimized, for example through eye treatments or lipofilling. These procedures help to bring the physical appearance back into balance and strengthen self-confidence.

Preparation

04

Before the procedure, we take the time for a detailed consultation in which we discuss your wishes, expectations, and health aspects. You will also receive important information on preparing for the operation and the necessary aftercare. We clarify all open questions to ensure that you feel comfortable and well-prepared.

Procedure

05

The Mommy Makeover is performed under general anesthesia and takes between 4 and 5 hours, depending on the number and complexity of the procedures. As a rule, inpatient admission for 1 to 2 nights is required to monitor and ensure healing in the first hours after the operation. Each procedure is performed with the highest precision to achieve the best possible result.

Healing

06

After the procedure, you should expect a recovery phase of 4 to 6 weeks, during which you should take physical care of yourself. Sporting activities and strenuous tasks are also usually only possible again after 4 to 6 weeks. During the healing phase, you will receive all necessary instructions and will be checked regularly to ensure that the healing process is optimal.

Result

07

The result of the Mommy Makeover is immediately visible, especially with the removal of excess fat and the tightening of skin and tissue. However, the final result only appears after a few months, when all swelling has subsided and the tissue has settled. The result is permanent as long as a stable lifestyle is maintained.

Frequently asked questions

Here we answer the most important questions about the Mommy Makeover.

How long does the procedure take?

The Mommy Makeover includes a series of procedures that take between 4 and 5 hours, depending on the scope and number of areas treated. The duration may be extended if several procedures are combined, such as a breast lift with a tummy tuck or liposuction. We plan the procedure carefully to ensure that it is performed both efficiently and safely.

Yes, a Mommy Makeover results in scars, but these are specifically placed in inconspicuous areas, e.g., along the lower abdomen above the pubic area, so that they can usually be well covered by clothing or swimwear. Modern surgical techniques ensure that the scars fade over time and become less visible. After the operation, we provide you with comprehensive instructions for scar care to optimize the healing process.

Most patients can return to their daily routine after 2-3 weeks. However, this depends on the type of procedure, the individual healing process, and the physical demands of your work. For physically strenuous activities or jobs that require a lot of movement, it is advisable to plan a longer break so as not to jeopardize the healing process.

The healing phase after a Mommy Makeover usually takes 6-9 months until the final result is visible. In the first weeks after the operation, you should take physical care of yourself and avoid strenuous activities. During this time, you will wear compression garments for 6 weeks to support healing. Sporting activities are only possible again after 4-6 weeks, depending on your individual healing process.
