What Is Mommy Makeover?
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are transformative experiences — but they can leave lasting changes to the body that diet and exercise simply cannot address. A Mommy Makeover combines multiple procedures in a single surgery to comprehensively restore your pre-pregnancy silhouette, or better.
There is no single "Mommy Makeover" — the combination is entirely personalized. Dr. Frew works with each patient to design a procedure plan that addresses her specific concerns, whether that's abdominal muscle separation, deflated or sagging breasts, excess skin, or stubborn fat deposits.

Ideal Candidates
- You have completed your family (future pregnancies may affect results)
- You are at or near your ideal body weight and have maintained it for at least 6 months
- You have excess abdominal skin, muscle laxity, or a "pooch" that persists after diet and exercise
- Your breasts have changed significantly in size, shape, or position following pregnancy
- You are in good general health with no conditions that impair healing
- You have adequate time and support for a longer recovery
The Process
Comprehensive Consultation
Dr. Frew performs a thorough evaluation and listens carefully to your goals. Together, you build a customized procedure combination — typically including a tummy tuck and a breast procedure, often with liposuction.
Abdominal Restoration
A tummy tuck addresses excess skin, weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and removes stubborn fat — creating a flatter, firmer abdomen.
Breast Rejuvenation
Depending on your goals, this may include a breast lift, augmentation, or lift with augmentation — restoring volume, shape, and position.
Body Contouring
Liposuction is often added to refine the flanks, hips, or thighs for a more complete transformation.
