A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Typically combining tummy tuck with breast surgery (lift, augmentation, or reduction) and often liposuction, this comprehensive approach addresses multiple concerns in a single surgical session.
Dr. Mora tailors each mommy makeover to the individual patient’s anatomy and goals. By combining procedures, you benefit from a single recovery period, one anesthesia session, and comprehensive transformation. However, he strictly limits combinations to two major procedures plus one minor procedure per session for safety.

A mommy makeover addresses the interconnected changes pregnancy causes throughout your body in one comprehensive transformation.
Address breast deflation/sagging, abdominal muscle separation, excess skin, and stubborn fat deposits all in one surgical session.
Rather than multiple surgeries and recoveries, heal from everything at once. Most patients find this more convenient for work and family scheduling.
No two mommy makeovers are identical. Dr. Mora designs your combination based on your specific anatomy, concerns, and goals.
• Finished having children • At stable weight for 6+ months • Good overall health • Non-smoker (or quit 6+ weeks before surgery) • BMI under 32 • Realistic expectations about results and recovery • Able to take 3-4 weeks for recovery
• Planning future pregnancies • Currently breastfeeding (wait 3-6 months after weaning) • Active smokers • Significant weight fluctuations • Unable to commit to extended recovery time • BMI over 35
Most challenging phase combining recovery from multiple procedures. Drains in place. Limited mobility. Full-time help required at home/recovery house.
Gradual improvement. Drains typically removed. Can begin short walks. Still need assistance with daily activities.
Significant improvement. Can perform most self-care. Light activities permitted. International patients can travel after clearance.
Return to most normal activities. Light exercise permitted. Compression garments continue.
Resume full activities. Swelling continues to resolve. Scars fading.
Final results visible. Implants settled (if applicable). Scars mature.
Dr. Mora strictly follows the ‘2 major + 1 minor’ rule for mommy makeovers. While some surgeons will combine unlimited procedures to maximize revenue, this dramatically increases surgical time, blood loss, and complication risks. He also requires both cardiac and pulmonary clearance for all mommy makeover patients, ensuring your heart and lungs can safely handle the extended procedure. Many patients choose Dr. Mora specifically because he declined to perform procedure combinations that other surgeons agreed to.
Most commonly: tummy tuck + breast lift or augmentation + liposuction. Some patients include breast reduction instead. Dr. Mora will recommend the right combination during your consultation.
Safety. Longer surgeries mean more time under anesthesia, more blood loss, and higher complication risks. The '2 major + 1 minor' limit protects your health while still achieving dramatic results.
You'll see significant improvement immediately, but swelling takes 6-12 months to fully resolve. Breast implants (if included) take 3-6 months to settle into final position.
You should be at or near your goal weight before surgery. Losing significant weight after can affect results. Gaining weight can expand remaining fat cells
