The mommy makeover at Center for Cosmetic Surgery in San Diego is a combination surgery package designed to address the multiple physical changes that commonly occur to a woman's body following pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding — changes that often cannot be fully resolved by diet and exercise alone. The package typically combines three core procedures performed in a single anesthetic event: abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten the rectus abdominis muscles separated during pregnancy (diastasis recti); breast surgery — either augmentation to restore volume lost after breastfeeding, mastopexy to lift ptotic breasts, or augmentation mastopexy combining both — to restore the breast shape; and liposuction of the flanks, back, and outer thighs to remove persistent pockets of fat that remain resistant to diet and exercise postpartum. Dr. Sassan Alavi performs each component of the mommy makeover as an integrated surgical plan, sequencing the procedures and incision placements to optimize the recovery experience and final aesthetic outcome. The advantage of combining these procedures in a single session is that the patient undergoes one anesthetic event, one recovery period, and typically reduces the total cost versus separate surgeries — this is the most practical format for mothers with limited time for multiple distinct recovery periods. The specific combination of procedures is tailored at consultation based on each patient's anatomy, priorities, and health status; not all patients are candidates for all three components in a single session, and the appropriate workload is determined based on expected total operative time, blood loss risk, and BMI. Post-operative recovery involves the combined recovery demands of the component procedures, typically two to four weeks before returning to light activities, and six weeks before resuming exercise. Pricing is by consultation and depends on the specific procedures included.
