Mommy Makeover in Newport Beach
-
Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?
The best candidates for a mommy makeover are women who have completed their families and want to regain their pre-pregnancy figures. Mommy makeover candidates should be in good overall physical and mental health and have realistic expectations about their results.
During a mommy makeover, you can take a comprehensive and customized approach to your procedure, resolving issues that may have resulted from pregnancy, such as loose stomach skin, or even giving your body the enhancement you have always wanted, such as breast augmentation.

Why have a mommy makeover in Newport Beach?
While being a mother is one of the most rewarding experiences in a woman’s life, it is not unusual to feel conflicted about the effects pregnancy, nursing, and childbirth can have on your body. Dr. Savalia can help you recapture your ideal look with a mommy makeover, a combination of procedures as distinctive as you are.
Here are some common reasons Dr. Savalia hears about why women are considering a mommy makeover in Newport Beach:
- After having kids, I’ve lost the baby weight, but I’m unhappy with my breasts and stomach
- I’m worried I look worn out from the rigors of being a mom
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.
Some important questions to ask yourself prior to undergoing a mommy makeover:
-
Do you want to have more children?
Since pregnancy is the cause of unwanted changes in your physique, it’s important to consider whether you want to counteract or reverse the positive results of a mommy makeover with additional pregnancies. Ideally, you will be finished having children before embarking on a mommy makeover cosmetic journey.
-
Are you willing to stop taking certain medications?
Certain medications such as NSAIDs (Aspirin or Ibuprofen) can trigger increased blood flow, which runs contrary to the demands of complex surgeries. There are other medications as well which can interfere with your treatment and/or recovery, so it’s mandatory that you let your doctor know the full lineup in your medicine cabinet. Even supplements and herbs should be brought to your doctor’s attention in order to protect you from complications during surgery.
-
Are you willing to stop smoking?
Ceasing smoking is a top priority when it comes to undergoing any surgical procedure. Smoking significantly inhibits healthy blood flow and can increase the risk of complications during and after surgery. Wound healing is also inhibited by smoking, which can negatively affect your recovery.
-
Are you at or near your ideal weight?
While a mommy makeover can go a long way in sculpting and reshaping the lower and upper body, it is not a weight loss procedure. If you end up losing more weight after surgery, it may result in skin laxity that will then require additional cosmetic procedures. Therefore it is ideal that you be at a healthy, normal weight for your body before undergoing a mommy makeover.
-
Are you willing to plan ahead?
Before a mommy makeover, you should make sure your prescriptions for painkillers are filled, and that you have a helper in place to assist with childcare, chores, and basic tasks while you recuperate. It’s important that you don’t overdo it physically after surgery so your body can heal without any obstacles. Your home should be set up to enhance your comfort, with pillows, towels, and blankets on hand, as well as all your favorite reading materials.

Which procedures should I choose for my mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover is a unique opportunity to decide what changes you would like to see in your body. While there are several procedures that can make up a mommy makeover, some of the most common include:
- Abdominoplasty – More commonly known as a tummy tuck, it can tighten and smooth loose abdominal skin while removing excess fatty tissue from the abdomen and repair loose or separated abdominal muscles
- Liposuction – This fat removal treatment can effectively reduce subcutaneous fat in targeted areas of the body; most commonly, liposuction is performed around the abdomen and love handles, thighs, upper arms, back, and under the chin to provide more streamlined contours.
- Breast enhancement – Pregnancy and nursing can have a substantial impact on the shape, size, and texture of a woman’s breasts; to regain a more youthful bustline, you can include procedures such as breast augmentation, with or without a breast lift, a breast reduction for a cup size that’s become overly generous, or a breast revision if you have already had breast enhancement in the past.
- Medspa treatments – You may choose to undergo one or more of our many nonsurgical facial enhancements including a hydrafacial to address environmental and age-related changes resulting in smoother complexion, or BOTOX® Cosmetic to help reduce dynamic wrinkles

What is recovery like after a mommy makeover?
After your mommy makeover in Newport Beach, your recovery time will vary depending on your treatment plan. Dr. Savalia encourages you to make sure you have extra help around the house and with the kids throughout recovery. It is important to give your body the chance to rest and heal after surgery. Most women find that they’re back to their usual daily activities in about two to three weeks, with their final contours improving for a few months or more.

Questions about Mommy Makeover?
It’s completely normal to have lots of questions if you’re considering a mommy makeover. Dr. Savalia will make sure he helps you fully understand the options available to you in a mommy makeover and which procedures might best help you reach your goals. Below, he has answered some of the most commonly asked questions from patients who are considering rejuvenating their appearance after having children.
-
How can I best prepare for a mommy makeover?
Preparing for a mommy makeover is an exciting albeit daunting endeavor, but it is well worth the time and cost as you will be thrilled with the changes a mommy makeover can create in the face, breasts, stomach, hips, thighs, arms and buttocks.
-
How long should I wait after having a child to get a mommy makeover?
Dr. Savalia typically suggests that you wait at least six months after weaning before undergoing a mommy makeover. This is because pregnancy hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, can affect skin laxity, your body’s responses to various stimuli, and other aspects of overall health. These hormones may continue to be at higher-than-normal levels until a few months after weaning. Additionally, it can be helpful to take some time to gauge the full range of your body’s changes after pregnancy and nursing before deciding on the right procedures.
-
What if I decide to have another baby in the future?
None of the procedures in a mommy makeover should affect your ability to enjoy a healthy pregnancy in the future. However, Dr. Savalia usually recommends that you wait until you have completed your family before undergoing a mommy makeover. This is because a future pregnancy could reverse many of the improvements of your mommy makeover, potentially resulting in the need for revision procedures.
-
When will I see results?
You should notice a difference in your body contours immediately following your surgery. However, your final results will gradually develop over the next several weeks and months. Every woman recovers at a different rate, and every mommy makeover procedure is different depending on each patient’s needs, so there is no precise length of time for final results to develop. Within about six months of surgery, you should have a fairly accurate idea of your mommy makeover results. After your surgery, Dr. Savalia will provide you with detailed instructions on post-operative care and how best to ease back into exercise for optimal results and to maintain your new shape.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
