A mommy makeover is a meticulously tailored plan designed to restore harmony between the breasts and body in one thoughtful, efficient procedure. Under the care of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christian Arroyo, patients receive individualized planning, advanced safety protocols, and an unhurried, attentive experience focused on comfort and natural beauty. In this blog, we’ll explore how combining breast surgery with body contouring enhances results, what to expect throughout the process, and how your transformation unfolds over time
Why Combine Procedures for a Complete Transformation
Pregnancy and breastfeeding affect both the abdomen and the breasts, so addressing these areas together creates more balanced, cohesive results. Dr. Arroyo designs every plan around your anatomy and aesthetic goals, often combining breast enhancement with a tummy tuck and targeted liposuction for a smooth, natural contour. Here’s how that approach comes together.
Your customized combination may include:
- Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair: Removes excess skin, refines the waistline, and restores core support.
- Liposuction 360: Contours the abdomen, flanks, and back for a sculpted, proportional result; fat may be preserved for grafting.
- Breast Reduction: Improves comfort and balance while enhancing proportion with the rest of the body.
- Optional Add‑Ons: Arm or thigh contouring, labiaplasty, or selective skin‑tightening treatments for fine‑tuning.
How breast surgery complements body contouring:
- Proportion: Fuller, lifted breasts balance a firmer, flatter abdomen for an elegant silhouette.
- Symmetry: Augmentation or reduction aligns the chest with new waist contours for visual harmony.
- Confidence: Enhanced shape allows clothing to drape naturally and accentuates your renewed figure.
What to Expect from Consultation to Recovery
Your experience begins with a detailed consultation, where Dr. Arroyo listens to your goals, evaluates your anatomy, and outlines a personalized plan. When appropriate, he uses Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA), an advanced sedation technique that promotes a smoother, gentler recovery.
Your procedure takes place in Dr. Arroyo’s private, AAAASF-accredited facility, designed for privacy, comfort, and safety. Most mommy makeovers combine breast and body contouring in one session, though staging may be recommended for optimal healing.
Recovery at a glance:
- Week 1: Rest, short walks, and compression garments; sleep slightly flexed after a tummy tuck.
- Weeks 2–3: Return to desk work and light activities once comfortable.
- Weeks 4–6: Resume light exercise with clearance; avoid heavy lifting.
- Months 3–6: Swelling resolves and scars gradually soften under guided care.
Dr. Arroyo and his team provide comprehensive aftercare and remain closely involved through every stage of recovery.
The Results You Can Expect
Mommy makeover results are designed to look natural, proportionate, and long-lasting. Most patients notice a flatter abdomen, refined waistline, and lifted, shapelier breasts with renewed volume and symmetry. Liposuction 360 enhances transitions between the ribs, waist, and hips for a balanced silhouette.
Expected results:
- Abdomen: Flatter contour and improved core support.
- Breasts: Lifted, youthful shape with restored fullness and symmetry.
- Overall contour: Smooth, sculpted lines through the flanks and hips.
- Refinement: Continued improvement over several months as swelling subsides and scars mature.
- Confidence: A harmonious transformation that reflects your renewed sense of self.
