About This Procedure
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures designed to restore the pre-pregnancy body in a single surgical session. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can cause lasting changes to the breasts, abdomen, and body contour that diet and exercise alone cannot reverse.
At Soulplace Surgery, each Mommy Makeover is fully customised — most commonly combining a tummy tuck with breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction to the flanks and hips. The combination is planned in consultation with your surgeon based on your anatomy and goals.

Recovery
You will be monitored overnight in the clinic. Pain is well managed with prescribed medication. Arrange full-time support at home for at least two weeks — you will not be able to lift children or carry anything heavier than 1–2 kg. Rest is the priority; gentle short walks are encouraged from day one to reduce clot risk.
Gentle short walks increase progressively. Compression garments remain in place across all treated areas. Lifting restrictions continue — this is particularly important to protect abdominal muscle repairs. Swelling and bruising across the breasts, abdomen, and flanks begin to reduce. Most patients feel significantly more comfortable by the end of week two.
Light work and essential daily tasks are usually possible by week four to six. Driving may resume once you can perform an emergency stop without pain — typically at 4–6 weeks. Strenuous activity, gym, and lifting children awaits surgeon clearance at your follow-up appointment.
Swelling fully resolves across all treated areas and the final transformation becomes visible. Abdominal scars and breast incision scars fade progressively over 12–18 months with scar care. Most patients describe this stage as life-changing — the results achieved are ones that diet and exercise alone could never produce.
Safety & Scarring
Combining multiple procedures in one session increases the total anaesthetic time and the scope of surgical risk. Potential risks include scarring at all incision sites, wound healing complications, seroma (fluid collection), asymmetry between treated areas, infection, and standard anaesthetic risks. Longer operations carry a slightly higher risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is mitigated through compression stockings and early mobilisation. Patient health, BMI, and medical history are rigorously assessed before a combination procedure is approved. Patients with significant health conditions or elevated BMI may be advised to stage procedures across separate sessions to reduce risk.
Have Questions?
A mommy makeover is fully personalised. Common combinations include tummy tuck + breast lift, or tummy tuck + breast augmentation + liposuction. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate plan for your specific concerns at consultation.
Yes — combining procedures in one anaesthetic session is common and safe when planned carefully. Your health, total anaesthesia time, and blood loss are all assessed. In some cases, staging over two sessions is the safer approach.
We recommend waiting at least 6 months after your last delivery or after finishing breastfeeding. Your weight should also be stable for at least 6 months before surgery for the best and most lasting results.
Most patients return to light desk work in 3–4 weeks, with full recovery and final results taking up to 12 months. Having support at home during the first 2 weeks is very important.
A future pregnancy will reverse many of the improvements, particularly to the abdomen and breasts. We strongly recommend completing your family before having the procedure.
