Mommy Makeover in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is A Mommy Makeover?
Fredericksburg, VA plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki frequently consult with women who wish to regain their pre-pregnancy shape. While childbirth is an exciting and amazing moment for many women, it often will alter the tightness and shape of certain body parts — and can leave one feeling frustrated. The most exciting news is that it's possible to reclaim a slim and taut appearance, thanks to the assistance of the mommy makeover surgical procedure performed at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg. The mommy makeover procedure uses a combination of liposuction and skin removal to target both the upper body (arms and breasts) and lower body (such as the tummy) — essentially, any area affected by nursing, weight gain or loss, etc. can be addressed.
How Is A Mommy Makeover Performed?
The mommy makeover procedure is a unique treatment tailored for women based on the specific body areas to be corrected. Many procedures can be paired together — the most popular treatments are breast lift, breast implants, tummy tuck, and liposuction.

Mommy Makeover FAQ
How much does a mommy makeover cost?
Mommy makeovers can vary in price based on which procedures are included in the surgical plan. During your consultation, our team will learn about the concerns you want to address, build a treatment plan, and review what you can expect in terms of cost. A mommy makeover is an investment in reclaiming your confidence after having children, so it's best to concentrate on getting amazing results rather than shopping for the lowest cost. Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg takes many payment methods and we give you information on finding low-interest financing to make your mommy makeover affordable.
How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?
During your consultation, our team will listen to your needs and concerns before performing a physical examination. Following this, we can make recommendations on what to include in your treatment plan. Typically, women select a breast surgery (an augmentation, lift, or both) plus a tummy tuck and liposuction.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
Childbirth and pregnancy are hard on your body, so nonsurgical treatments are usually not enough to produce noticeable improvements. In your consultation, our providers will go over both surgical and nonsurgical options. After listening to your concerns and goals, they will tell you if procedures like nonsurgical liposuction (for example, CoolSculpting) or another treatment might be helpful for you.
Will I have scars?
While a mommy makeover gives you a rejuvenated shape, it does include some scarring, which is normal for any surgery. Your surgeon will make every effort possible to create clean, small incisions. Most scars that result from this surgery will be able to be concealed with swimsuits and underwear. When reviewing your post-surgical care instructions, one of our team members will go over scar care so your sutures heal and fade.
What if I get pregnant again?
In a perfect world, you should wait to have a mommy makeover until your family is complete so your results are not compromised. In most cases, all treated areas of your body are at risk for stretching out if a subsequent pregnancy were to occur. If you have another child after a mommy makeover, a second surgery may be done to refresh your results.
