Mommy Makeover in Reno/Tahoe, Nevada
The joys of motherhood often come with lasting physical changes. Pregnancy gradually stretches the abdominal muscles, skin, and breasts, and the expansion and subsequent deflation that follow childbirth can leave many women feeling they’ve aged prematurely — with laxity and a loss of definition that diet and exercise can’t fully restore. A mommy makeover is a customized combination of body-contouring procedures designed to restore, and often improve upon, your pre-pregnancy physique. Women across Reno and Lake Tahoe turn to Avance Plastic Surgery Institute to feel like themselves again.
A mommy makeover is performed by Dr. Erez Dayan, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute known for a minimally invasive approach that allows multiple procedures to be combined with a shorter overall recovery. Harvard-trained — where he served as Chief Resident in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital — and fellowship-trained in aesthetic surgery at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Dayan designs each plan around the individual, drawing on the full range of body cosmetic procedures to address exactly what each patient wants improved.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
The mommy makeover combines several procedures to help you regain the figure you had before pregnancy — and in many cases a result even better than you thought possible. Dr. Dayan sits down with each patient to discuss the specific areas they want improved, then creates a customized plan of action tailored to their needs and anatomy. A mommy makeover typically involves breast surgery, liposuction, and a tummy tuck, and may also include additional treatments such as facial rejuvenation, labiaplasty, or an arm or thigh lift.
“A mommy makeover is one of the most rewarding things I do, because it’s never one-size-fits-all. We build the plan around what each mom wants back — and combining procedures thoughtfully means one recovery instead of several.” — Dr. Erez Dayan
What Procedures Are Included in a Mommy Makeover?
Almost any body-contouring procedure can be part of a customized mommy makeover. A few of the most common options include:
Breast Surgery
Breast augmentation, breast lift, breast lift with augmentation, and breast reduction can each help restore the breast tissue to its ideal position and volume, depending on the changes pregnancy and nursing have caused.
Liposuction
Liposuction is commonly used to contour the abdomen, waist, thighs, and hips. Dr. Dayan uses advanced techniques and technology — including radiofrequency and ultrasound-assisted liposuction — for maximum skin tightening, and often transfers the removed fat to areas such as the breasts or buttocks to augment them naturally. This addition-and-subtraction approach creates an attractive, natural contour.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck restores separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) while removing excess abdominal skin and stretch marks, significantly slimming and flattening the abdomen. Dr. Dayan commonly pairs it with liposuction to create a slim waistline, so patients can wear well-fitting clothes without bulging or protrusion.
Facial Rejuvenation
A mommy makeover can also smooth the wrinkles and skin laxity that accumulate with aging and stress, restoring a more youthful glow. This is often achieved with the latest technologies, such as radiofrequency microneedling, medical-grade peels, and laser therapy.
Benefits of a Mommy Makeover
- Reduced Excess Skin and Fat: removal of stubborn fat and loose skin across the body
- Restored Breasts: improved fullness and elevation of the breasts
- Slimmer Midsection: a flatter abdomen and a more defined waistline
- Facial Revitalization: a refreshed face and neck where desired
- Combined Recovery: a single recovery period by combining procedures
- Renewed Confidence: a stronger self-image and better fit in clothing
Who Is a Good Mommy Makeover Candidate?
The best candidates are at or near their ideal weight, finished with childbearing, at least six months past their last childbirth, emotionally and physically healthy, non-smokers, and hold realistic expectations for their results. A consultation with Dr. Dayan is the best way to confirm your candidacy and build your plan.
What Will My Recovery Entail?
Recovery from a mommy makeover takes a bit longer than a single procedure, but thanks to Dr. Dayan’s minimally invasive approach it is generally swift and uncomplicated. For breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction, you’ll be fitted with compression garments to reduce swelling and provide support, and drains may be used briefly to remove excess fluid. Dr. Dayan sends each patient home with a detailed care plan, and you’ll receive plenty of follow-up, with questions promptly answered by Dr. Dayan and his aesthetic team in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
Mommy Makeover Cost in Reno/Tahoe
Because a mommy makeover combines several customized procedures, fees vary from one patient to the next. The best way to obtain an accurate quote is a private consultation with Dr. Dayan after a physical evaluation and thorough review of your goals. You’ll then receive a customized fee schedule along with affordable medical financing options such as CareCredit and Alphaeon.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mommy Makeovers
Which procedures are included in a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is fully customized, but most commonly includes breast surgery, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. It can also incorporate facial rejuvenation, labiaplasty, or an arm or thigh lift, depending on your goals.
When can I have a mommy makeover after childbirth?
The best candidates are at least six months past their last childbirth, which allows the body to heal and stabilize. Being finished with childbearing is also recommended, since future pregnancies can affect your results.
Why combine procedures instead of doing them separately?
Combining procedures means a single recovery period rather than several, and Dr. Dayan’s minimally invasive approach helps keep that recovery as smooth as possible. He’ll confirm which combination is safe and appropriate for you.
Will a mommy makeover repair muscles separated by pregnancy?
Yes. When a tummy tuck is part of the plan, Dr. Dayan repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) while removing excess skin, restoring both core strength and a flatter contour.
Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover?
Good candidates are at or near their ideal weight, finished having children, in good physical and emotional health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. A consultation is the best way to confirm your options.
How long is recovery after a mommy makeover?
Recovery takes somewhat longer than a single procedure but is generally swift, supported by compression garments, a detailed care plan, and close follow-up. Dr. Dayan will give you a personalized timeline based on your combination of procedures.
