Mommy Makeover

Mommy Makeover at Gables Plastic Surgery in Coral Gables, Miami combines breast and body contouring procedures in a single surgical session. Typically includes tummy tuck plus breast augmentation, lift, or reduction — customized to each patient's anatomy and goals. Dr. Jorge de la Pedraja performs all procedures under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Minimum two weeks recovery before returning to light activity.

Gables Plastic Surgery's mommy makeover combines multiple aesthetic procedures into a single surgical session, allowing patients to address the simultaneous changes that pregnancy and breastfeeding bring to the breast and abdominal areas while minimizing total recovery time and operative costs compared to staging procedures separately. The core mommy makeover typically combines an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) — which removes the excess lower abdominal skin, repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and restores a flat, toned abdominal contour — with one or more breast procedures: breast augmentation to restore lost volume, breast lift to correct drooping following breastfeeding, breast augmentation with lift for patients seeking both volume restoration and elevation, or breast reduction for patients in whom the breasts remain disproportionately large. Liposuction of the flanks, waist, thighs, or other areas may be incorporated to refine overall body proportions. Dr. de la Pedraja customizes the combination and sequence of procedures to each patient's specific anatomy, concerns, and recovery expectations. The combined procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes place on an outpatient basis, though some patients may stay overnight depending on the extent of surgery. Recovery from a mommy makeover is longer than from individual procedures: most patients require at least two weeks of limited activity before returning to desk work, four to six weeks before resuming more active duties, and should plan for assistance with childcare during the initial recovery period. Final results, with all swelling resolved, are typically visible at four to six months.
