It is not uncommon to experience significant body changes after pregnancy. Perhaps your once-toned abs now have loose skin that won’t tighten up, or your breasts have lost some of their shape and fullness. Even worse, you don’t feel as confident in your clothes—no matter how much you diet and exercise. These changes are normal, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them forever.

To achieve this seemingly untouchable goal, we offer the mommy makeover, a combination of breast surgery (augmentation, lift, or reduction), tummy tuck, and liposuction that work together to finally address the physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

Mommy Makeover Explained
A mommy makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan designed to help women restore their pre-pregnancy body contours. In many cases, the results can have you looking and feeling better than you have in your entire life. This customized approach typically includes a combination of breast surgery (augmentation, lift, or reduction), tummy tuck, and liposuction, though other procedures can be included depending on your unique needs. These procedures work together to address the physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, helping women regain confidence and their desired body shape.
During and after pregnancy, you may experience:
- Sagging or loss of fullness in your breasts.
- Stubborn areas of fat that won’t go away.
- Excess skin and stretch marks on your stomach.
- Stretching and loosening of the abdominal and core muscles.
Surprisingly, even the best diet and exercise plans cannot reverse these post-pregnancy challenges. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell believe women who have already given so much to their families deserve to regain the bodies they had before.
Our skilled plastic surgeons have undergone rigorous training and performed thousands of mommy makeover procedures. More importantly, we tailor our approach to each patient’s needs and goals while achieving results that look and feel natural. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell start with a patient-centered approach, then rely on advanced surgical techniques and the most innovative materials to methodically shape your body and deliver the precise look you envision.

Ideal candidates for a mommy makeover are women in good health. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell always consider your medical history and perform additional tests to ensure your safety, comfort, and satisfaction with the desired outcome.
Have realistic expectations.
A patient who has thoroughly considered her decision to have a mommy makeover in Fort Worth has been educated on and understands the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. The reality is that results differ widely based on a patient’s age, skin condition, and the procedures they wish to have. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell take their time meeting with each client to ensure everyone is on the same page about what is possible through a mommy makeover procedure.
A Mommy Makeover May Not Be Right for Patients Who Are:
Considering having more children.
Having more children can undo the results of a tummy tuck and other procedures you may have had as part of your surgery. Therefore, you should delay a mommy makeover until after you are done expanding your family.
Not interested in surgery.
Procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lifts, and a tummy tuck are surgical procedures that require some level of downtime and must be carefully weighed before proceeding. If you have any reservations about having surgery or are not interested in surgery at all, you may want to speak with your plastic surgeon about alternative options.
Not healthy enough for surgery.
Several medical conditions and health factors can make someone ineligible or a poor candidate for a mommy makeover, including but not limited to high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, severe obesity, and bleeding disorders. These factors should be openly discussed with your Fort Worth plastic surgeon.

Mommy Makeover Fort Worth FAQs
Can I Get a Mommy Makeover If I Have Not Had Children?
Yes. Women choose mommy makeovers for many reasons besides getting back to their pre-pregnancy state. This includes situations where a woman has experienced significant weight loss, aging and skin elasticity issues, and even hormonal changes that impact skin firmness, fat distribution, and breast volume. The procedures themselves—such as breast lifts, breast augmentation, and tummy tucks—can be tailored to meet those unique needs and desires.
Should I Wait Until I Am Done Having Children To Get a Mommy Makeover?
Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell encourage all patients interested in mommy makeovers and other plastic surgery procedures to wait until they are done expanding their families before undergoing a procedure. Granted, some procedures can be performed even if the patient is considering having children in the future. But it is wise to have a conversation with your plastic surgeon first.
Pregnancy and childbirth almost always undo the aesthetic benefits of mommy makeover procedures. If you still wish to have the procedure, consider waiting at least six months after pregnancy so that your body can reach a stable state before another surgery.
How Old Do I Have To Be to Get a Mommy Makeover?
Mommy makeover patients at Clearfork Plastic Surgery must be at least 18.
What Procedures Are Included in a Mommy Makeover?
No two mommy makeovers are the same. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell listen to your wants and needs and tailor a mommy makeover plan that meets those goals and expectations. That said, most women choose some combination of tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, and breast surgery. Here are a few options to consider:
Breast Augmentation and/or Breast Lift
A woman’s breasts can sag, lose elasticity, and decrease in volume after pregnancy. With breast augmentation, we use saline or silicone implants (and sometimes fat transfers from other parts of the body) to enhance or restore the size, shape, volume, and symmetry of the breasts. With breast lifts, we can raise and reshape sagging breasts so that the result is a more youthful position. This is ideal for women affected by aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. For those seeking added volume, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation.
Tummy Tuck Surgery
After pregnancy, it is common for women to develop issues such as stretch marks, loose skin, and skin folds around their stomach. C-section scarring is also common. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles to create a smoother, more toned appearance. By including a tummy tuck in your mommy makeover in Fort Worth, you can refine multiple areas of your body in one surgical procedure, versus one now and another later down the line.
Liposuction
You may be left with unwanted areas of fat around your stomach, hips, thighs, and arms after pregnancy. This is where liposuction can be a real benefit, as it removes excess fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction provides a more defined and sculpted appearance, and it can be performed alone or combined with other cosmetic procedures like the ones mentioned above.
Other Procedures:
Body contouring
Along with procedures like a tummy tuck, it can help with excess skin in your arms and thighs.
Labiaplasty
A specialized external vaginal procedure designed to enhance the appearance and symmetry of the vaginal labia.
Facial treatment
Beyond surgical procedures, Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell offer a variety of minimally invasive treatments to help reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Examples include fillers like Juvederm, BOTOX, and Dysport.
What Should I Do To Prepare for My Mommy Makeover?
The first thing to know is that you are not alone. Before your surgery day, you will be invited back for a preoperative visit where our team will thoroughly review every detail of the procedure with you. This includes details on when you should arrive, final instructions, consent forms, surgical garments you will need, and any prescriptions necessary to prepare you for surgery.
In addition to this preoperative visit, Clearfork Plastic Surgery recommends that you:
Secure a ride home after surgery. You are not allowed to drive yourself home after your mommy makeover procedure. All surgical patients are required to have someone with them at all times.
Make arrangements for care post-surgery. You will want to schedule time away from work and ensure you have a team of helpers at home to help you heal and recover quickly and comfortably.
Eat and drink well. Believe it or not, eating nutritious meals during the 1-2 weeks leading up to your procedure can help your body heal faster.
Stop smoking. Smoking limits your body’s ability to heal and increases your risk of infections and a variety of other dangerous complications. Clearfork Plastic Surgery has a clear policy on no smoking before surgery.
How Many Surgical Sessions Does a Mommy Makeover Require?
Ideally, one. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell are so skilled at mommy makeovers in Fort Worth that they can perform one procedure after the next during the same surgical session. In doing so, they strive to limit recovery time and overall downtime.
How long your mommy makeover takes depends on:
- The number of procedures being performed.
- The types of procedures you chose.
- Your unique needs and any complications.
Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell will discuss all your options with you during your initial consultation.
What Is a Mommy Makeover Like During Surgery, and Is It Painful?
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes several hours, depending on the extent of correction needed and the number of procedures chosen. Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. The selected combination of procedures is performed in a single surgical session, allowing for a more efficient recovery process.
Recovery from a mommy makeover varies depending on the combination of procedures performed. Most patients can return to light activities within two to three weeks, but full recovery may take several months.
The final results are visible once the swelling subsides, revealing a more youthful and contoured body shape.
Generally speaking:
- You should expect to be away from work for at least two weeks.
- You cannot perform any heavy lifting.
- Depending on the procedure, you may experience swelling and soreness for a few weeks.
- Body and breast surgeries generally require four weeks before the patient heals.
Our practice can advise you about pain medication, antibiotics, and scar management as part of your consultative appointments.
Will I Need to Request Time Off From Work for a Mommy Makeover?
Yes. You should expect anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks of recovery after a mommy makeover procedure. This is especially true if your procedure includes breast surgery (augmentation or lift) or a tummy tuck. Many patients with demanding or physical jobs may find they need more time off than usual. Recovery from a mommy makeover varies depending on the combination of procedures performed. Most patients can return to light activities within two to three weeks, but full recovery may take several months. The final results are visible once the swelling subsides, revealing a more youthful and contoured body shape.
How Long Will My Results Last After Having a Mommy Makeover?
Ever-evolving technology has led to increased durability of breast implants and more realistic results for other procedures. That said, the duration of your aesthetic improvements depends on the procedure and the condition of your skin and tissue as you age.
For example, breast implants last for 10 to 20 years before needing to be replaced, while a tummy tuck done right can permanently remove excess skin that developed after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Your plastic surgeon should describe the materials they are using, the typical lifespan of these devices (including proper care strategies), and the expected results. They should also discuss any warranties and what you can expect in the long term.
Many women choose Clearfork Plastic Surgery because they know that, regardless of the procedure, they are working with board-certified plastic surgeons who take pride in having their aesthetic work last as long as possible. If age causes additional skin elasticity problems and sagging, follow-up treatments are always an option.
Will My Insurance Cover a Mommy Makeover?
Breast augmentation, breast lift, and tummy tuck surgical procedures are generally considered by insurance to be elective aesthetic procedures. As a result, insurance providers will not pay for the treatment.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Mommy Makeover in Fort Worth?
When considering a mommy makeover, you must have a firm understanding of the costs associated with the procedure. Specifically, you will want to know exactly how much the total expense will be and what your initial obligation is. For instance, some providers may only quote surgeon fees when, in reality, those fees only represent a portion of how much you’ll ultimately pay.
We believe in transparent pricing at Clearfork Plastic Surgery. Not only are we happy to discuss all related costs with our prospective clients, but we also itemize everything plainly and in writing. This way, you can make the best financial decision for you.
Though fees can vary from facility to facility and surgeon to surgeon, a few of the common fees you can expect include:
Surgeon’s Fees
The board-certified plastic surgeon performing your mommy makeover will collect a fee for their time, experience, and training. What this number ultimately is can vary from surgeon to surgeon and market to market.
Facility Fees
Where your surgeon performs the mommy makeover procedure also determines the total expenses. For instance, the difference in cost between having your procedure performed in a hospital versus an outpatient surgical center.
Anesthesia
You will sleep like a baby during your procedure, which ultimately requires the skilled hand of an anesthesiologist. This is an additional fee that must be accounted for before the procedure itself.
Prescription Medications
Thankfully, most insurance carriers cover post-surgical needs, including pain medication and antibiotics, to limit pain and reduce the chance of infection. Check with your insurance provider first to determine if there is any out-of-pocket expense.
Surgical garments
Depending on the facility, you may be charged for surgical garments that go with you after your procedure.
