You’ve completed your family and now feel ready to prioritize you. While motherhood is one of life’s greatest blessings, the physical changes from pregnancy and childbirth can be lasting. That’s why many women choose a Mommy Makeover, a personalized set of procedures designed to help restore their pre-baby body and confidence. If you’re thinking about this transformative journey, you may be wondering: how soon after giving birth can I safely undergo a Mommy Makeover?

With a warm, friendly environment and a commitment to stunning, natural-looking results, Dr. Miller and his team proudly serve patients throughout Orange County, including Newport Beach and Costa Mesa.
Give Your Body Time to Heal
A Mommy Makeover generally includes a tummy tuck, breast lift or breast augmentation, and liposuction. These surgeries are comprehensive and require your body to be physically ready. Most surgeons suggest waiting at least six months after giving birth before undergoing Mommy Makeover surgeries. This allows:
- The uterus to shrink to its normal size
- Hormone levels to stabilize
- Skin and abdominal muscles to recover
- You to complete breastfeeding (if applicable)
Waiting until you’ve stopped nursing for three to six months helps ensure your results are long-lasting and more predictable.
Weight Stability Is Key
For optimal outcomes, it’s important to be at or near your goal weight and maintain it steadily for a few months before surgery. Sudden weight fluctuations after a Mommy Makeover can affect the results. Additionally, if you plan to have more children in the future, it’s best to postpone surgery. Pregnancy after a Mommy Makeover could alter the effects of your procedure.
Listen to Your Surgeon and Your Body
Every woman’s postpartum journey is unique. Your surgeon will assess your health, healing, and goals to determine when you’re ready. Be honest about how you’re feeling physically and emotionally. Cosmetic surgery is a big decision that should be made when you feel confident and strong.
