What To Expect From a Mommy Makeover
01
Consultation
During your consultation for your mommy makeover at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, you’ll sit down with one of our cosmetic surgeons. We’ll listen to your concerns and take the time to fully understand your goals for your appearance. Together, we will help you determine which procedures will best accomplish your goals.
02
Preparation
After we create a surgical plan for your mommy makeover in Jacksonville, we will explain exactly what you can expect from treatment. We will review your pre-care and post-care instructions, the surgery itself, and what to expect from general anesthesia. Once you feel prepared, we’ll help you schedule your appointment.
03
Procedure
Each patient’s mommy makeover looks different because we tailor the surgery to every individual. Your procedure will include a combination of different procedures designed to achieve your desired results. Typically, a mommy makeover includes liposuction, a tummy tuck, and some form of breast surgery.
04
Recovery
Before you leave our care, we will review your post-care instructions once more and make sure you have the resources to continue recovery at home. Standing upright will be difficult for the first few days, but you can expect to start feeling back to normal within 4 to 6 weeks. For many patients, the full healing process lasts around 6 months.

Additional Treatment Options
Asymmetry Correction
Significant variations in breast size after pregnancy and breastfeeding can disrupt the fit of clothing and change your silhouette. The board-certified surgeons at CSA use breast asymmetry correction surgery to balance the shape and volume of your breasts.
Renuvion Skin Tightening
Many women struggle with small amounts of loose skin on the abdomen and flanks postpartum. Renuvion nonsurgical skin tightening uses radiofrequency heat along with cold helium plasma to promote collagen production and strengthen the structure of the skin for a firmer, tighter appearance.
Fat Transfer
After childbirth, you might notice unwanted fat deposits in some areas and volume loss in others. When you plan a fat transfer with your mommy makeover in Jacksonville, you can remove excess fat from one part of the body and add it elsewhere (such as the breasts) to restore your desired curves.
Mommy Makeover FAQs
We recommend waiting to have a mommy makeover until you’ve completed your family. Pregnancy can compromise the results of your surgery by stretching your treatment areas back out. Should you get pregnant again after your surgery, we can discuss performing a second surgery to restore your results.
The length of your recovery will depend on the combination of procedures performed. Downtime after a mommy makeover in Jacksonville can last a few days to a few weeks. Prior to your procedure, we will let you know what to expect from recovery, and we’ll provide you with detailed post-care instructions to make your recovery as smooth as possible.
During pregnancy and childbirth, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes. The skin stretches to accommodate your developing baby, and you carry additional weight as your breasts swell, the uterus grows, the placenta develops, and your blood volume increases.
As a result, many women struggle with severe skin laxity and stubborn pockets of fat that linger postpartum, even when they prioritize healthy habits.
Often, nonsurgical procedures like Renuvion skin tightening require long-term treatment plans, delivering gradual results for patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity and excess fat.
For this reason, many mothers opt for a more immediate, lasting mommy makeover in Jacksonville through surgical intervention.
The board-certified surgeons at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates typically recommend mommy makeovers for women who have finished growing their families and want to sculpt their postpartum figure.
We also suggest that interested patients plan their surgery once they have reached or are approaching their goal weight, as a significant weight fluctuation after a mommy makeover in Jacksonville can impact the appearance of the results.
During your initial consultation, you meet with your CSA surgeon one-on-one to discuss your surgical expectations, medical history, and current medications. You should inform your doctor of any existing medical conditions or family history of disease, as your overall health affects your candidacy.
This information helps your board-certified cosmetic surgeon determine a treatment plan to help you safely achieve your body goals.
A breast lift adjusts the placement of the breasts and nipples. Patients experiencing unwanted sagging, or patients with tubular breasts, benefit most from a breast lift. During this procedure, our surgeons can lift the breasts into a higher position to achieve your desired silhouette.
Breast augmentation addresses volume loss or asymmetry with breast implants or a fat transfer procedure. We work with you to determine the exact implant sizing that is right for your figure. CSA surgeons might recommend breast augmentation for patients seeking enhanced breast projection, increased size, and changes in shape or symmetry.
When planning your mommy makeover in Jacksonville, you also have the option of combining a breast lift and augmentation to achieve your desired positioning and volume in a single procedure.
During your mommy makeover consultation, explain to your doctor how you want your abdomen to look after surgery. Your expectations help inform the recommended treatment plan.
If an eligible patient wants to remove only a small amount of fat and excess skin localized below the belly button, the surgeons at CSA may recommend a mini tummy tuck.
For mothers hoping to tighten their core muscles and target unwanted loose skin and fat deposits around the abdomen and flanks, we usually recommend a full tummy tuck, sometimes with T-line reinforcement mesh for lasting core stability.
For women seeking extensive skin and fat removal around the midsection, including the abdomen, hips, and love handles, we might recommend an extended tummy tuck.
In Jacksonville, several factors contribute to the overall cost of your mommy makeover procedure.
When you schedule your mommy makeover with CSA, you receive compassionate care from board-certified surgeons and an expert staff. While expertise does increase the cost, your safety and confidence are worth the investment.
Having earned the highest possible credentials in cosmetic surgery, our doctors’ rigorous training fosters quality surgical outcomes—and your satisfaction is worth every penny.
The complexity of your unique procedure also plays a role in the procedure cost. We tailor your mommy makeover to address your concerns and deliver your desired look. The extent of your selected liposuction, breast surgery, or tummy tuck procedures influences your estimate.
Along with these custom numbers, your price also includes standard fees for operating room supplies. These essentials include anesthesia, facility use, implants (if desired), and other surgical tools.
Some patients also like to account for any travel in their mommy makeover budget. If we recommend a more extensive procedure, your surgeon might schedule 5 to 7 follow-up appointments at our Jacksonville office to monitor and manage your recovery.
Usually, the CSA surgeons recommend scheduling your mommy makeover procedure for the autumn or winter months. The cooler weather and shorter days make it easier to protect your healing incision sites from harmful UV rays, as you cover up with more layers of clothing.
Depending on the extent of your mommy makeover in Jacksonville, your downtime could range from a few days to a few weeks. The slower schedule of the winter season also means you have time to heal at your own pace. Your doctor works with you prior to surgery to inform you of your estimated recovery time and after-care instructions.
Though you can resume work sooner, we generally recommend patients avoid strenuous exercise or intense physical activity for at least 6 weeks following surgery. This protects your incisions and gives your body time to heal.
If you know you have a big event coming up in the next year, be sure to inform your doctor, so we can plan your surgery and subsequent recovery to fit your schedule.
The results of your mommy makeover in Jacksonville are semi-permanent to fully permanent, depending on the procedures you opt to include in your surgery.
If you elect to undergo breast augmentation, implants typically last 10 to 20 years. Your lifestyle also influences the longevity of your augmentation. For instance, an athlete who regularly uses her upper body will probably have a lower implant lifespan than most women.
On the other hand, the smoothed, sculpted effect of your tummy tuck is lasting. These results are permanent, barring significant weight gain or pregnancy after surgery, as carrying additional weight in the abdomen following a tummy tuck might re-stretch the tightened skin.
Completely following CSA’s aftercare instructions also supports long-lasting results. By caring for your scars, wearing compression garments as prescribed, and observing the outlined timeline for your return to activities, you can minimize the appearance of your scars and facilitate optimal healing.
Unfortunately, we cannot stop time altogether. Whether you choose breast surgery or a tummy tuck with CSA, your body will continue to change, gradually reflecting the effects of aging, weight fluctuation, and hormonal shifts.
At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, each doctor is board-certified in cosmetic surgery. This means they graduated medical school, completed a surgical residency, and passed rigorous oral and written examinations before a surgical board.
Our leading surgeons, Dr. Caplin and Dr. Nuveen, hold triple-board certification in cosmetic surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Board certification is a completely voluntary process, and it is the highest possible credential a surgeon can achieve in their chosen field. It also requires periodic recertification to encourage continuous education. As a result, our surgeons possess an intimate knowledge of human anatomy and cosmetic surgery.
This ongoing training and expertise also testifies to our surgical team’s commitment to quality care and superior patient outcomes, as seen with each successful mommy makeover in Jacksonville.
When you move forward with a mommy makeover in Jacksonville, you place your care in capable hands. The surgeons at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates have completed over 26,000 major cosmetic surgeries since 2003, including over 200 mommy makeovers each year.
Our team’s significant cosmetic experience means we offer superior surgical skill, artistic precision, and compassionate service.
This also sets CSA apart from aesthetic practices staffed by surgeons who do not specialize in cosmetic surgery. Though they are qualified to offer surgery, doctors who studied and trained in other medical disciplines do not possess the same level of knowledge and expertise relevant to cosmetic procedures.
Empowered by decades of education and experience, the board-certified surgeons at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates perform skilled, artistic cosmetic surgery that preserves your body’s function and appearance without compromising on care.
Explore Common Mommy Makeover Procedures
Common Mommy Makeover Procedures
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes loose skin and small pockets of fat from the abdomen. It also tightens the abdominal muscles for a more sculpted midsection.
During a tummy tuck procedure, or abdominoplasty, a board-certified surgeon makes an incision based on the quantity of unwanted abdominal skin. Typically, this incision sits along the bikini line between the hip bones. For a more extensive tummy tuck targeting the abdomen, flanks, and hips, the incision spans slightly wider.
After making the incision, your surgeon may use liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue from the abdomen and flanks.
Within this procedure, the surgeon also tightens the muscles and tissue of your abdominal wall. Our cosmetic surgeons offer T-line mesh reinforcement for severe abdominal separation. By placing this support, we can relieve the symptoms of diastasis recti, reinforce the connective tissue, and strengthen your core muscles.
Finally, once your surgeon removes the unwanted loose skin, they tighten the surrounding skin using precisely placed sutures for optimal healing and smoothed contours.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes unwanted fat deposits, smoothing and slimming the treatment area. Our surgeons recommend being at or near your ideal weight leading up to surgery, as the American Society of Cosmetic Surgeons does not recommend removing more than 10 pounds of fat in a single procedure.
During liposuction, your board-certified surgeon uses a thin cannula or steel tube to gently suction out the fatty tissue from the targeted area. We can treat the face, neck, arms, abdomen, legs, and buttocks—all with liposuction.
When you include liposuction as part of your mommy makeover in Jacksonville, your cosmetic surgeon often performs abdominal and flank liposuction during your tummy tuck.
Breast Surgery
Breast surgery can enhance your breast symmetry, placement, projection, shape, and size. Many women opt for a breast lift or augmentation during their mommy makeover in Jacksonville, as the skin may have stretched and lost elasticity. Some mothers may also lose volume and firmness as their hormones fluctuate and body fat redistributes.
During breast lift surgery, your CSA surgeon “lifts” your breasts into a higher position by removing the excess skin and tissue at the top. Once removed, the surgeon tightens the remaining skin for a firm, natural appearance.
During breast augmentation with implants, a board-certified surgeon makes an incision (either along the crease under your breast or at your armpit) and places your implants above or below your pectoral muscle to suit your body.
Your options with CSA include saline, silicone gel, and gummy bear implants.
- Saline: When placing a saline implant, your surgeon inserts an empty implant into the space. After situating it, we fill the implant with a sterile solution to achieve your desired appearance and firmness.
- Silicone gel: A silicone breast implant uses a silicone gel filling to enhance your natural volume.
- Gummy bear: This teardrop-shaped implant features a thicker silicone gel filling to improve your breasts’ projection and volume. This shape works well for patients who want to add fullness to the lower breast area.
After placing the implant, your doctor closes the incision with artistic precision.
During breast augmentation via fat transfer, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon uses liposuction to remove unwanted fat from one area of the body. Then, they purify the fat and inject it into the areas of the breast where you want to restore volume.
