Mommy Makeover Toronto

Pregnancy and childbirth can be some of the most beautiful and transformative experiences in a woman’s life—but they also bring significant changes to the body. A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy shape, helping you feel strong, confident, and like yourself again.

Whether you’re struggling with loose skin, deflated breasts, stubborn fat, or weakened abdominal muscles, a Mommy Makeover offers a comprehensive solution—all in one surgery. 👉 Performed in our luxury, fully accredited surgical facility inside the iconic Fairmont Royal York Hotel.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Following childbirth, some women seem to return to their pre-baby bodies with ease, but for most women this can become an impossible task. Body changes that result from pregnancy and/or aging include skin stretching, abdominal muscle separation, stretch marks, sagging breasts, and many others. A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to reverse these effects and may solve any of the following issues:

Abdominal Changes

Pregnancy often leaves the most visible impact on the abdomen. As the abdominal wall stretches to accommodate a growing baby, the muscles naturally separate (a condition known as diastasis recti). While some women’s tissues bounce back post-pregnancy, many are left with:

  • Loose, sagging skin
  • Stretch marks (striae)
  • Separation of the abdominal muscles
  • A lingering “belly pouch”
  • Bulging in the lower abdomen
  • C-section scars or scars from previous abdominal surgeries

These changes are not typically reversible with diet or exercise alone. For many women, a tummy tuck with muscle repair is the most effective way to restore a firmer, flatter, and more athletic-looking midsection.

“Pregnancy left this woman with a belly pouch, stretch marks, and loose skin. A tummy tuck with muscle repair helped her regain a tighter, more athletic abdomen that no amount of exercise could achieve.”

Breast Changes

Whether or not a woman breastfeeds, pregnancy causes the breasts to enlarge as milk glands swell in preparation for lactation. After birth, these glands shrink, often leaving behind:

  • A loss of volume or fullness
  • Stretch marks
  • Sagging (ptosis)
  • Deflated or uneven appearance

Breast augmentation, lift, or reduction can help restore balance, shape, and confidence after these changes.

Body Contour Changes

Even after weight loss, many women notice stubborn fat that just won’t budge, especially in the hips, thighs, lower back, and flanks. These areas are often resistant to exercise and diet due to post-pregnancy hormonal shifts, leading to:

  • Localized fat deposits
  • Imbalanced body proportions
  • A softer or less sculpted silhouette

Liposuction and body contouring can address these trouble spots and help restore a more proportional shape.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

The best time to consider a Mommy Makeover is at least 6–12 months after your last childbirth, once your body has had time to fully heal and hormones have stabilized.

You may be a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover if you have:

Have completed your family (no plans for future pregnancies or breastfeeding), as further pregnancies post-Mommy Makeover will undo all the work that has been done.

Are at a stable weight and have maintained it for several months

Are in good overall health and cleared for surgery

Have loose abdominal skin, stretch marks, or sagging due to pregnancy

Struggle with a protruding belly caused by separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)

Notice sagging or deflated breasts that no longer look or feel youthful

Experience changes to the labia or vaginal area following childbirth

Persistent pockets of excess fat anywhere on the body

What is Included in a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover typically combines two or more surgical procedures into one operation, targeting areas most affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The most common combinations:

  • Tummy Tuck: to remove excess abdominal skin and repair separated muscles
  • Liposuction: to contour stubborn fat deposits
  • Breast Lift with or without Augmentation: using implants or fat transfer to restore shape and volume

However, your Mommy Makeover can also be fully customized and performed in stages depending on your body, goals, and overall health. Additional procedures may include:

  • Breast Reduction
  • Labiaplasty
  • Liposuction in other areas (e.g., thighs, arms, flanks)
  • Thigh Lift
  • Arm Lift
  • Buttock Lift or Augmentation

During your private consultation at SixSurgery, our expert surgical team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs, ensuring natural-looking, transformative results.

Tummy Tuck Abdominoplasty

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is one of the core procedures in a mommy makeover. It removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and, in most cases, repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles caused by pregnancy (diastasis recti). The result is a flatter, tighter, and more toned midsection.

Added benefit? Stretch marks located on the lower abdomen are often removed or greatly reduced during the skin excision process.

Thigh Lift and Liposuction

A Thigh Lift combined with Liposuction is an effective way to tighten loose skin and remove stubborn fat deposits from the inner and/or outer thighs, creating smoother, more sculpted leg contours.

This procedure is especially beneficial for mothers who have developed disproportionate fat accumulation in the thighs following pregnancy and struggle to improve this area despite diet and exercise. By removing excess skin and fat, the Thigh Lift enhances lower body balance and helps restore a more youthful, contoured silhouette.

Arm Lift and Liposuction

An Arm Lift, also known as brachioplasty, combined with liposuction, removes excess skin and stubborn fat from the upper arms to create a slimmer, more toned appearance.

Liposuction Body Sculpting

Liposuction is a key component of many Mommy Makeover procedures, offering a safe and effective way to target and remove stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Even with a healthy lifestyle, many mothers struggle with areas like the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, or back, where fat tends to linger after pregnancy. Through precise body sculpting, liposuction enhances your natural curves and restores balance to your figure—helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your post-baby body.

Butt Lift & Augmentation with Fat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift)

A Butt Lift and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are often included in a Mommy Makeover to restore fuller, rounder buttocks while enhancing overall body balance and contour.

A BBL removes excess skin from the buttocks to tighten and smooth the area, especially in cases of sagging due to weight loss or aging. When combined with fat transfer, unwanted fat is first removed from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs through liposuction, then carefully injected into the buttocks to create a natural, lifted, hourglass shape.

The result: a sculpted waistline, enhanced curves, and a rejuvenated silhouette—all using your body’s own fat.

Breast Enhancement

Breast enhancement is a key part of many Mommy Makeovers and is fully tailored to your post-pregnancy body and goals. The most common approach involves a combination of breast augmentation and lift, though the exact procedure varies for each woman.

Breast Augmentation
This procedure restores or enhances lost volume using either saline or silicone implants, or via fat transfer—using your body’s own fat to naturally increase fullness.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift addresses sagging by removing loose skin and lifting the breasts to a higher, more youthful position, while also reshaping and firming the breast tissue.

Breast Reduction
Some women experience larger, heavier breasts after pregnancy or breastfeeding. In these cases, a breast reduction may be combined with a lift to relieve discomfort, improve proportions, and restore balance to the upper body.

Whether you want to restore fullness, reduce size, or simply achieve a more lifted and youthful look, your SixSurgery team will customize a breast enhancement plan that aligns with your body and your vision.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginoplasty, also known as vaginal tightening surgery, is designed to restore the tightness, tone, and shape of the vaginal canal—often stretched or weakened by childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes.

This procedure can help improve physical comfort, sexual function, and overall confidence, especially for mothers who feel their vaginal structure has changed significantly over time. By tightening the internal muscles and removing excess tissue, vaginoplasty helps rejuvenate the area and restore a more youthful appearance and feel.

Mommy Makeover Recovery

One of the key advantages of a Mommy Makeover is that multiple procedures are performed in a single surgery—meaning you only have one recovery period, even though several areas of the body are addressed.

Recovery time varies from woman to woman and depends on factors such as:

  • The number and type of procedures performed
  • Your overall health and fitness level before surgery
  • Whether muscle repair (e.g., diastasis recti correction) was included

Most patients can expect 2–4 weeks of initial downtime, with a gradual return to light activity after that. Full recovery and final results may take several months as swelling subsides and the body continues to heal.

To enhance your comfort and care, our clinic is conveniently located within the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, where you may choose to spend your first night post-surgery (cost not included, subject to availability). Our team will schedule all necessary follow-up visits to closely monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.

What can I expect from a mommy makeover?

Expect a personalized surgical plan and results tailored to your body and goals. While a Mommy Makeover can produce dramatic improvements, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Our team will ensure you’re fully informed about potential outcomes and recovery.

When should I have breast surgery after pregnancy?

We recommend waiting at least 3 months after weaning your baby before undergoing any breast surgery. This gives your breasts time to settle into their post-pregnancy size and shape. If you're planning more children, it’s best to wait until after your final pregnancy.

How should I prepare for surgery?

Preparation is key for a smooth recovery. You’ll receive detailed instructions, but here are a few essentials:

Avoid smoking and anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs)

Get lab work or medical clearance (as advised)

Fill prescriptions ahead of time

Arrange help at home for the first week

Plan to take time off work and physical activities

What can I expect during the procedure?

Each Mommy Makeover is unique. The exact techniques and order of procedures will depend on your personalized plan. Your surgeon will walk you through the full surgical process, so you know exactly what to expect before entering the operating room.

How long does the surgery take?

A Mommy Makeover usually takes between 2.5 to 5 hours, depending on the number and complexity of the procedures. Your surgeon will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

What should I expect from the recovery after surgery?

Post-surgery, you’ll need rest and time to heal. Here’s what to expect:

Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal

Compression garments will help support your body

Prescription medications may be used for pain management

Most patients resume light activities within 2–4 weeks

Strenuous activity or heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks

We’ll schedule follow-ups to monitor your healing and progress.

Will I have scars after the surgery?

Yes, scarring is part of any surgical procedure. However, our surgeons take great care to place incisions in discreet areas (such as along the bikini line or in natural skin folds). Scars will fade over time and can be treated with scar-reducing products if needed.

How long does it take to see the results from a mommy makeover?

While many patients notice improvements immediately, final results become more visible over the next 3–6 months as swelling subsides and tissues settle. Patience is key—your results will continue to improve with proper care and healing.
