Feel Like Yourself Again

Pregnancy and motherhood change the body in ways that diet and exercise alone often can't reverse. Stretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and changes in breast volume and shape are common, no matter how dedicated you've been to a healthy lifestyle since giving birth. A mommy makeover at our Tysons Corner office offers a comprehensive, personalized way to address these changes and help you feel more like yourself again.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover isn't a single procedure, but a customized combination of surgeries designed to address the most common effects of pregnancy in one coordinated treatment plan. Because every patient's body responds to pregnancy differently, your specific combination of procedures is tailored entirely to your goals and concerns.

Procedures Commonly Included in a Mommy Makeover

Your provider will help determine which of these procedures, in what combination, best addresses your specific concerns.

Tummy Tuck

Tightens separated abdominal muscles and removes excess skin left behind after pregnancy.

Breast Augmentation

Restores volume that's often lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Breast Lift

Addresses sagging and repositions the breast for a firmer, more youthful contour.

Liposuction

Refines and contours areas like the flanks, thighs, or back that may have stubborn fat deposits.

The Benefits of a Mommy Makeover

  • Addresses Multiple Concerns at Once: Rather than undergoing separate surgeries and recoveries, a mommy makeover combines procedures into a single, coordinated treatment.
  • A Truly Personalized Plan: Your specific combination of procedures is built entirely around your body and your goals.
  • One Consolidated Recovery: Combining procedures means one recovery period rather than multiple separate ones.
  • Comprehensive Results: Addressing the abdomen, breasts, and problem areas together often creates more balanced, harmonious results than treating each area in isolation.
  • Restored Confidence: Many patients describe a mommy makeover as a meaningful step toward feeling comfortable in their body again.

Is a Mommy Makeover Right for Me?

A mommy makeover may be the right option if you're bothered by the physical changes pregnancy has left behind. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are finished having children and don't plan on future pregnancies
  • Have excess skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or breast changes related to pregnancy
  • Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
  • Have realistic expectations about your results and the recovery involved in combining procedures

During your consultation for a mommy makeover at our Tysons Corner office, Dr. Chang will evaluate your specific concerns and help determine which procedures should be included in your personalized mommy makeover plan.

The Mommy Makeover Process What to Expect

1. Private Consultation

Your provider will evaluate your concerns across the abdomen, breasts, and other areas to determine which procedures should be included in your plan.

2. Personalized Surgical Plan

Based on your consultation, your provider will design a coordinated treatment plan combining the specific procedures best suited to your goals.

3. Procedure Day

Your combined procedures are typically performed in a single surgery under general anesthesia, with duration depending on the extent of your specific plan.

4. Initial Healing Phase

You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions addressing recovery for each procedure included in your makeover.

Meet the Providers Behind Your Care

The expertise of our board-certified surgical team guides every procedure at Congressional Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Christopher Chang has been named a Top Doctor by Washingtonian Magazine and Newsweek. He is double board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He trained at Harvard, NYU, Yale, and Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Dr. Hillary Jenny is a board-eligible plastic surgeon with training from MIT, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. She also completed a prestigious aesthetic surgery fellowship in Beverly Hills, specializing in rhinoplasty, facelift, and breast and body procedures.

Your Results and Recovery

Because a mommy makeover combines multiple procedures, recovery is generally longer than any single surgery would require on its own.

However, it remains shorter than recovering from each procedure separately over time. Most patients need one to two weeks before returning to light activity, with more strenuous activity resuming around four to six weeks. Final results become fully apparent over the following months as swelling resolves across all treated areas.

"My husband had a cyst that was supposed to be a simple removal procedure. It was very deep and much more complicated to remove than initially diagnosed by a dermatologist. Dr. Chang and his support staff spent much time and effort to safely remove the entire cyst intact. His care and concern for his patients' best interests and health are exceptional. This was our second experience with Dr. Chang after my husband had a skin graft. He is a consummate professional, and his integrity and personal manner are outstanding."

"Highly recommend Dr. Christopher Chang. I had a relatively minor procedure that nonetheless required an 'artist's eye,' and I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Chang's manner will both put you at ease and inspire your confidence in him. It is immediately obvious that he cares about and is dedicated to his work. The surgical facility was spotless, modern, and comfortable. The after-care has been excellent, and his office staff (both locations I visited) were friendly and professional."

Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions

How do you decide which procedures should be included in my mommy makeover?

This depends on your specific concerns and goals. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate areas such as your abdomen and breasts to recommend a combination of procedures tailored to your needs.

How long after having a baby should I wait before getting a mommy makeover?

Most providers recommend waiting until you've finished breastfeeding and your body has stabilized, generally at least six months to a year, before proceeding with a mommy makeover.

Is a mommy makeover safe to perform as one surgery rather than separate procedures?

Combining procedures is common and may be appropriate for healthy candidates. Your provider will evaluate your health, medical history, and treatment plan to determine whether combining procedures is a safe option for you.

Will insurance cover any part of a mommy makeover?

Mommy makeovers are generally considered cosmetic and aren't typically covered by insurance. However, certain components, such as a breast reduction performed for medical reasons, may qualify for coverage in some cases.

How long is the recovery for a combined mommy makeover compared to a single procedure?

Recovery is generally longer than it would be for a single procedure, but combining surgeries may allow you to recover from multiple procedures during one recovery period rather than undergoing separate recoveries over time.

Can I still get pregnant after a mommy makeover?

Yes, it is possible to become pregnant after a mommy makeover. However, a future pregnancy can significantly affect your results, which is why mommy makeovers are generally recommended for patients who are finished having children.
