A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore the appearance of a woman’s body following pregnancy and childbirth.
Pregnancy can lead to changes such as:
- Loose abdominal skin
- Stretch marks
- Separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Loss of breast volume or breast sagging
- Stubborn areas of fat that resist diet and exercise
At Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, a Mommy Makeover is carefully tailored to address these concerns and help restore the body to a more youthful, balanced, and confident state.
Most Mommy Makeover procedures combine abdominal and breast surgery, often including:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Breast augmentation
- Breast lift (mastopexy)
- Liposuction or body sculpting
By combining procedures into one surgery, patients can address multiple areas of concern at the same time, creating a more harmonious overall result.
What Does a Mommy Makeover Treat?
A Mommy Makeover is designed to address the most common physical changes that occur after pregnancy. Together, these procedures restore balance and contour to the breasts, abdomen, and waistline.
Common physical changes that occur after pregnancy
- Loose or stretched abdominal skin
- Stretch marks on the lower abdomen
- Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
- Loss of breast fullness
- Breast sagging or changes in nipple position
- Stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, flanks, or hips
Dr. Jacobson’s Anatomy-Based Approach to Post-Pregnancy Body Restoration
At Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, Mommy Makeover procedures are designed to restore both the structure and contour of the body after pregnancy. This allows for a fully customized surgical plan designed to create natural, proportionate results that complement each patient’s body.
Because pregnancy affects multiple areas of the body, combining procedures often provides the most comprehensive and efficient transformation.
Dr. Jacobson carefully evaluates:
01
Skin laxity
02
Muscle separation
03
Breast volume and position
04
Fat distribution
Procedures Commonly Included in a Mommy Makeover
Each Mommy Makeover is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and goals.
The most common procedures include:
✦ Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Pregnancy often stretches the abdominal muscles and skin.
A tummy tuck is the most effective way to restore a firm, flat abdomen.
During abdominoplasty:
- Excess skin and stretch marks are removed
- The abdominal muscles are tightened (diastasis recti repair)
- The abdomen is reshaped for a smoother contour
This procedure restores core support and a flatter abdominal profile.
✦ Breast Augmentation
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lead to loss of breast volume.
Breast augmentation restores fullness using FDA-approved breast implants.
Benefits include:
- Improved breast volume
- Fuller upper breast contour
- Restored breast projection
✦ Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Some patients experience breast sagging following pregnancy or breastfeeding.
A breast lift:
- Raises the nipple and breast tissue
- Removes excess skin
- Restores a more youthful breast shape
Breast augmentation and lift procedures are often combined to restore both shape and volume.
✦ Liposuction & Body Sculpting
Many Mommy Makeover procedures incorporate liposuction to refine contour around the abdomen, flanks, or waistline.
Liposuction can:
- Remove stubborn fat deposits
- Improve waistline definition
- Enhance the results of tummy tuck surgery
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
Patients should ideally be finished having children before undergoing a Mommy Makeover to preserve long-term results.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are a non-smoker
- Are 25–65 years old and in generally good health
- Are bothered by changes in your abdomen or breasts after pregnancy
- Have realistic expectations about surgery
Mommy Makeover Downtime & Recovery
Recovery after a Mommy Makeover depends on the specific procedures performed, but most patients can expect:
~10–14 Days of Downtime
Swelling and tightness gradually improve over the first several weeks to months as healing progresses.
Compression Garments
Patients are placed in compression garments after surgery to support healing. Compression garments help:
- Reduce swelling
- Support tissues during healing
- Encourage optimal skin contraction
- Improve contour

Mommy Makeover FAQs
How much does a Mommy Makeover cost in Lincoln, Nebraska?
The cost of a Mommy Makeover can vary widely depending on which procedures are included in your customized surgical plan. Because Mommy Makeovers often combine procedures such as a breast lift with or without implants, tummy tuck surgery, and liposuction 360, pricing is highly individualized based on your anatomy, goals, operative time, and complexity of surgery.
At Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Jessica Jacobson develops a personalized treatment plan during your consultation and provides detailed, transparent pricing specific to your goals.
As a general guideline, a typical tummy tuck combined with breast augmentation is often in the range of approximately $18,000–$20,000. More extensive combinations — such as adding a breast lift, implant exchange, or Liposuction 360 — may increase overall cost.
We also offer financing options through Cherry Financing and PatientFi to help make your procedure more accessible with monthly payment options.
What procedures are included in a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover typically combines a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and/or liposuction. The specific combination is customized to each patient’s anatomy and goals.
How long is recovery after a Mommy Makeover?
Most patients take 10–14 days away from work for initial recovery. Swelling and tightness gradually improve over the first several weeks to months as healing progresses.
Should I wait until I'm done having children?
Patients should ideally be finished having children before undergoing a Mommy Makeover to preserve long-term results. A future pregnancy can reverse some of the improvements achieved through surgery.
