A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to address the physical changes that may remain after pregnancy or weight loss. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, Dr. Scott Andochick brings more than 30 years of surgical experience to creating treatment plans that support natural, balanced improvement. Each procedure is tailored to meet the needs of the individual, with a focus on restoring comfort and confidence in the body’s overall silhouette.
What a Mommy Makeover May Address
Pregnancy can affect several areas of the body, especially the breasts and abdomen. A Mommy Makeover may include breast augmentation, breast lift, abdominoplasty, and liposuction. When used together, these procedures may help restore fullness in the breasts, tighten loose abdominal skin, and refine body contours. The goal is a smoother, more proportional appearance that still feels entirely natural.
Who May Be a Good Candidate
A Mommy Makeover may be an option for individuals who experience:
- Sagging or volume loss in the breasts
- Loose or stretched abdominal skin
- Separation of abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Persistent fullness or contour changes despite a healthy lifestyle
- A desire to restore comfort and balance to the body after pregnancy
During a consultation, Dr. Andochick evaluates overall anatomy, concerns, and goals to determine the appropriate combination of procedures for each patient. The process is personal and designed to support meaningful yet natural-looking improvement.
How the Procedure Works
A Mommy Makeover can be performed as a single surgical session or as staged procedures, depending on what is most appropriate for the patient. Breast enhancement may involve repositioning the breast, restoring volume, or both. Abdominoplasty focuses on refining the abdominal area by removing excess skin and tightening underlying muscles. Liposuction may be added to contour the hips, flanks, or waist for a smoother shape.
The procedure is performed in the practice’s QUAD A–accredited private operating room. This on-site facility allows for a controlled, private, and safe environment where Dr. Andochick and his board-certified anesthesia team manage the entire surgical experience with consistency and attention to detail.
Mommy Makeover Recovery and Results
Recovery varies based on the combination of procedures performed. Dr. Andochick provides clear guidance to help support healing at each stage. Helpful expectations may include:
- Staying one night in a local hotel with a private duty nurse
- Having a friend or family member assist during the first few days
- Taking several weeks away from work to allow for uninterrupted recovery
- Wearing special bandages followed by a supportive camisole for the breasts
- Using a compression binder around the abdomen for about one month
- Managing discomfort with oral medication and a non-narcotic pain pump across the abdomen
As the body heals, patients may see a smoother midsection, improved breast shape, and a more balanced silhouette overall. Final refinement occurs gradually as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
