Loose abdominal skin
Excess, stretched abdominal skin that diet and exercise cannot address is removed and the midsection flattened.
Sieveking/Plastic Surgery/Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover in Nashville
One Operation · One Anesthesia · One Recovery
A mommy makeover combines targeted procedures to restore the body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding in one session built around your anatomy and goals. Where lasting change to the abdomen, breasts, or contour will not answer to diet and exercise, there are precise surgical solutions.
Comprehensive restoration after pregnancy. An individualized plan, never a preset package. Conservative, natural-looking outcomes as the standard.
Combined procedures. A single session. A plan built specifically for you.
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of two or more surgical procedures performed in a single operating session to address the physical changes pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding cause to the abdomen, breasts, and body contour. The most common components include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast augmentation, breast lift, breast augmentation with lift, and liposuction — built specifically for you during your consultation rather than selected from a fixed menu.
It is equally important to understand what a mommy makeover is not. It is not a weight-loss procedure; the best candidates are at or near a stable, healthy weight before surgery. The goal is refined contouring and structural restoration, not a dramatic transformation — predictable, natural results that allow you to look and feel like a restored, confident version of yourself.
The approach
How a mommy makeover works.
Because a mommy makeover is a combination surgery, each major component contributes a specific and targeted result. Dr. Sieveking selects and sequences the procedures that are right for your individual anatomy and goals — every mommy makeover is an individualized plan, never a preset package, with conservative and natural-looking outcomes as the consistent standard.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes loose, excess abdominal skin, tightens the underlying abdominal wall muscles, and flattens the midsection. When diastasis recti — the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles that commonly occurs during pregnancy — is present, it is repaired during the same procedure. The scar is placed low within the bikini line, and its length varies with the degree of correction needed.
Breast augmentation restores the volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding; silicone gel implants are the most commonly selected option for their natural feel and appearance, though saline remains a well-established choice. A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and elevates breasts that have become ptotic after pregnancy and nursing, and a lift and augmentation can be performed together when both elevated position and restored fullness are wanted.
Liposuction is frequently incorporated to address stubborn fat deposits on the flanks, hips, outer thighs, or lower back that persist despite a healthy weight and regular exercise. It is a contouring and refinement tool, not a weight-loss procedure, and adding it allows Dr. Sieveking to achieve a balanced, proportionate result across the entire body.
Target concerns for a mommy makeover.
One customized plan for the changes pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding leave behind — built around your anatomy and your goals.
Separated abdominal muscles
Diastasis recti — the muscle separation that commonly occurs during pregnancy — is repaired during the tummy tuck.
Lost breast volume
Volume lost after pregnancy and breastfeeding is restored with implants selected for natural feel and proportion.
Breast sagging
Ptotic breasts are reshaped and elevated with a lift, with or without a change in volume.
Stubborn fat deposits
Persistent deposits on the flanks, hips, outer thighs, or lower back are refined with liposuction.
Overall body contour
Addressing abdomen, breasts, and contour together creates a harmonious, naturally proportionate overall result.
Why choose this procedure
Benefits of a mommy makeover at Sieveking.
Combining procedures in one session means one anesthesia event and one combined recovery — and a result planned as a whole rather than in isolated parts.
-
One surgery, one recovery
Multiple areas are addressed in a single session, which means one anesthesia event and one combined recovery rather than several staged procedures.
-
Restored proportion and balance
Addressing the abdomen, breasts, and body contour together allows a harmonious overall result rather than isolated improvements that may not appear naturally proportionate.
-
A plan built for you
Every combination, every technique, and every degree of correction is tailored to your anatomy, your goals, and Dr. Sieveking’s clinical judgment.
-
Renewed confidence
Many patients describe feeling more like themselves again — a restored, proportionate version of you, with results that feel natural and earned rather than obvious.
-
Long-lasting, structural results
Results are not dependent on ongoing maintenance treatments the way non-surgical options are, and they hold well with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
-

The journey from consultation to lasting result.
01
Consultation
A comprehensive evaluation, a customized plan
The consultation is a comprehensive evaluation of your anatomy, medical history, and goals. Dr. Sieveking evaluates abdominal skin laxity, muscle separation, fat distribution, breast volume, ptosis grade, and nipple position to determine how the planned procedures will work together for a unified result. Your surgical plan is customized and candidacy is confirmed, and Dr. Sieveking sets realistic expectations for both results and recovery so you enter surgery fully informed.
02
Procedure
One carefully planned operative session
A mommy makeover is performed under general anesthesia at the practice’s on-site accredited surgery center and typically takes 4–6 hours, depending on the number and complexity of procedures in your plan. Dr. Sieveking addresses each component in a carefully planned sequence during a single operative session. Incisions are placed with long-term scar position in mind — the tummy tuck incision sits low within the bikini line, and breast incisions follow the natural contours of the areola or breast fold. Drains may be placed after a tummy tuck and are removed at an early follow-up. Most procedures are outpatient, though an overnight stay may be recommended depending on the extent of surgery.
03
Recovery
A combined recovery, honestly described
Recovery from a mommy makeover is more involved than recovery from a single procedure, and Dr. Sieveking’s team is transparent about that from the outset. The first days call for rest and reliable help at home, particularly with children and household tasks. Most patients are mobile but limited through weeks 1–2, with light walking encouraged and no lifting, straining, or vigorous activity. Many return to desk work around weeks 2–3, wearing a compression garment as swelling subsides, with restrictions lifted progressively under Dr. Sieveking’s direction. Plan for a minimum of 2–3 weeks away from work — longer for physically demanding roles.
04
Results
Natural, lasting results
The results of a mommy makeover are structural and long-lasting. Because tummy tuck and breast procedures correct the underlying anatomy, results hold well over time with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle — which is why weight stability and family completion are part of the candidacy conversation. Abdominal contour and breast shape continue to refine over months 3–6 as swelling resolves, with final results emerging over 6–12 months. Scars are placed strategically within the bikini line and natural breast contours and continue to fade and soften throughout the first 1–2 years after surgery.

Investment
Cost of a mommy makeover.
The cost of a mommy makeover depends on which procedures the plan combines — tummy tuck, breast augmentation, lift, liposuction — along with anesthesia and facility considerations. Because the combination is built specifically for each patient rather than selected from a fixed menu, there is no standard figure to quote. Pricing is reviewed transparently at consultation, in detail, so patients know exactly what their plan includes.
Financing is available through PatientFi and CareCredit, and HSA and FSA funds are accepted where eligible. Combining procedures into one operating session also consolidates certain costs — one anesthesia event, one facility, one recovery — compared with staging each surgery separately. The consultation is the place to weigh those considerations honestly, with the numbers in front of you.
Questions, answered.
The questions most prospective patients ask before booking a consultation.
-
The best candidates have completed their family, are at or near a stable, healthy weight, are in good general health, and do not smoke. Waiting at least 6–12 months after delivery and 3–6 months after finishing breastfeeding is required before surgery. A consultation with Dr. Sieveking confirms candidacy and the right combination of procedures for your anatomy and goals.
-
Yes. Future pregnancies can reverse the results of a mommy makeover by stretching tightened skin, separating repaired muscles, and altering breast position. Completing your family before surgery allows you to enjoy your results fully and long-term, which is why family completion is part of every candidacy conversation at consultation.
-
Most mommy makeovers at Sieveking Plastic Surgery take 4–6 hours under general anesthesia, depending on the procedures included in your individual plan. Combining everything into one operating session means one anesthesia event and one recovery, and Dr. Sieveking reviews the expected operative time with you in detail at consultation.
-
Plan for 2–3 weeks away from work, with reliable help at home during the first week — particularly with children and household tasks. Physical restrictions lift progressively over 4–6 weeks under Dr. Sieveking’s direction, and final results emerge over 6–12 months as swelling resolves and scars mature.
-
Scars are a permanent but expected part of the process. Dr. Sieveking places incisions within the bikini line and along natural breast contours, with long-term scar position planned from the start, and scars continue to soften and fade over the first 1–2 years after surgery.
-
Yes. Because Sieveking Plastic Surgery integrates plastic surgery, medical aesthetics, and functional medicine under one roof, pre-surgical optimization, hormone assessment, and post-operative skin treatments can all be incorporated into your broader care plan — one address, one physician-led team, from consultation through final follow-up.
