What Is a Mommy Makeover?
This surgery addresses the most common concerns such as sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, excess skin, and stubborn fat deposits. By tailoring the surgery to each individual’s unique needs, a mommy makeover helps achieve a more proportionate and youthful appearance, allowing women to feel comfortable and confident in their bodies again. Beyond the physical benefits, many women find the emotional uplift of reclaiming their body contours to be deeply rewarding, motivating them to maintain a healthy lifestyle and enhancing their overall sense of well-being.
Mommy Make-Over Benefits
A mommy makeover offers numerous benefits, both physical and emotional, for women seeking to restore their bodies after the changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breast feeding. Physically, it addresses multiple concerns in a single procedure, such as sagging or deflated breasts, excess skin, stubborn fat, and weakened abdominal muscles. We invite you to consult with Dr. Digenis to learn more about what a mommy makeover in Louisville can do for you.
Who is the ideal candidate for a Mommy Make-Over?
1. Post-Pregnancy or Weight Loss
Women who have completed their families or experienced significant weight loss and want to address changes such as sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, excess skin, or stubborn fat deposits.
2. Good Overall Health
Candidates should be in good physical health without any conditions that could impair healing or increase surgical risks.
3. Stable Weight
It’s important to be at or near a stable weight for the best long-term results, as significant weight changes after surgery can affect the outcomes.
4. Non-Smoker
Smoking can interfere with healing and increase the risk of complications, so candidates should be non-smokers or willing to quit before and after the procedure.
5. Realistic Expectations
Candidates should have clear, realistic goals for what the surgery can achieve and understand both the benefits and limitations of the procedures.
6. Committed to Recovery
A willingness to follow post-operative instructions, including taking time off for rest and recovery, is essential for optimal results.
7. Emotionally Prepared
Candidates should be in a positive frame of mind and fully understand the physical and emotional aspects of undergoing multiple procedures.

What is recovery like for a Mommy Make-Over?
Recovery from a mommy makeover varies based on the procedures performed but typically follows these stages. In the first 1–2 weeks, rest is essential, with light walking encouraged to promote circulation. Pain, swelling, and bruising are common but manageable with medication and compression garments. By 2–6 weeks, patients can resume light activities and may return to non-strenuous work, avoiding heavy lifting, including children. Strenuous exercise is generally safe after 6–8 weeks, as cleared by the surgeon. Full results may take several months as swelling subsides and scars fade. Dr. Digenis and his surgical team will provide you with post-operative instructions and pain medication. Attending follow-up appointments ensures optimal healing and results.

Mommy Make-Over FAQ
Click a question below to see the answer for some of the most common questions we receive from potential clients.
Dr. Digenis recommends waiting until you have completed your family before undergoing a mommy makeover. Ideally, you should wait at least four months after finishing breastfeeding or six months after giving birth before considering the procedure.
Combining procedures in a mommy makeover offers several advantages over having them individually, however, ultimately Dr. Digenis will decide whether a patient can have multiple procedures:
- Comprehensive Results: Addressing multiple concerns, such as sagging skin, stubborn fat, and breast changes, in one surgery provides a complete transformation and creates a more balanced, proportionate appearance.
- Single Recovery Period: By performing multiple procedures at once, patients go through just one recovery period instead of recovering from separate surgeries. This reduces downtime and allows for a quicker return to normal activities.
- Cost Efficiency: Combining procedures can lower overall costs compared to scheduling separate surgeries, as expenses like anesthesia, facility fees, and post-operative care are incurred only once.
- Improved Aesthetic Harmony: Performing multiple procedures together allows the surgeon to create a cohesive plan, ensuring that the results are well-balanced and complement each other.
- Convenience: A single surgical event is often more convenient for patients, especially for busy moms, as it minimizes the time spent planning and undergoing multiple procedures.
