Restore Your Pre-Pregnancy Body With a Mommy Makeover in Jacksonville, FL
The surgeons of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery understand just how important getting your pre-pregnancy body is, which is why we offer a customized surgical procedure known as the mommy makeover. If you’re looking to “get your body back” after childbirth, come into one of our offices in the Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra Beach, or Fernandina Beach, FL, area to find out if a mommy makeover is a right fit for you.
What Is a Mommy Makeover?
The mommy makeover combines body contouring procedures such as arm lift, thigh lift, and liposuction surgeries with cosmetic breast surgery to create an improved overall physical appearance — all at the same time.
- Loose or sagging skin on the abdomen
- Stubborn love handles and fat left over from pregnancy
- Drooping breasts that have lost volume
- Abdominal bulge
- Separated or weak abdominal muscles
- Stretch marks
All mommy makeovers are performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Depending on how many techniques are combined, the surgery could last multiple hours. It is common for patients to have a short hospital stay with this surgery. Most women will require a full month to recover, but many will be able to return to work within two weeks.
Our Mommy Makeover in Jacksonville: Customized to Meet Your Needs
One of the best things about the mommy makeover in Jacksonville is that it can be uniquely tailored to your specific needs and goals, depending on what body parts you want to improve. In most cases, surgery for the breasts and tummy are performed together (though not always). The conditions addressed during surgery and the surgical technique used will vary.
Breasts
- Conditions caused by pregnancy: Loss of volume and/or breast tissue; sagging and/or drooping, excess skin (ptosis); breasts that have become too large
- Surgeries to consider: Breast augmentation with implants, breast lift, breast augmentation with a lift, breast reduction surgery
Abdomen
- Conditions caused by pregnancy: Excess fat and/or persistent bulge in the abdomen; sagging and loose skin; stretch marks, and other unsightly skin irregularities
- Surgeries to consider: Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction of the abdomen
Lower Body
- Conditions caused by pregnancy: Sagging skin and excess fat in the buttocks, hips, and thighs
- Surgeries to consider: Lower body lift including liposuction and skin tightening of the buttocks, hips, and thighs
“So happy I chose Dr. Hickman! After having my 4th child, I was eager to have a mommy makeover to fix what multiple pregnancies had left me with. Dr. Hollie Hickman was my second consultation. After meeting with her, I immediately knew she was the one, and booked my surgery that same day. She is a true professional and I felt very comfortable in her care. ”

Incredible experience and results from Erez Sternberg, MD. His attention to detail, precision, and ability to deliver exceptional results for his patients is truly impressive. I had a mommy makeover after having three children via c-section. I was left with loose skin that diet/exercise could not fix..no matter how hard I tried. Pre-surgery my body was in the best shape that it could be..so I went in for a consult with Erez Sternberg, MD and knew that I didn’t need to look any further. He was confident that he could not only meet, but exceeded my expectations, and honestly was a perfect match for me as a surgeon. If you want to look your best, feel more confident, and have done the best you can do to get back into great shape, look no further than Erez Sternberg at PVPS.
After much research I went with PVPS to do a mommy makeover, something I never thought I would ever do. I struggled for years with low self esteem before and after kids and weight gain/loss. After finally losing weight after my kids I looked at my self and was tired of being depressed about my body. So I had the wonderful staff at PVPS put me back to the way I was and let me tell everyone, it was worth every penny just to look and feel comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my entire life. From the very first call I made to their staff down to my most current appointment I have had nothing but wonderful interactions and experiences with every single staff member. You can tell they care. Yes you are paying them but they are honest about everything and want the best for you! They are like cheerleaders for you. I wish I could remember all the names of the staff I have met but Dr. Mitchell did an outstanding job with my mommy makeover, Brittany Cherry is his coordinator and is such a sweetheart ,considerate of you, and very easy to talk to. Kristen Murphy is the nurse for Dr. Mitchell and is just as amazing and helpful. She answered my every question after my surgery with little downtime/wait. Dr. Mitchell took my call when I had an urgent question very near Christmas. They are all so calm and patient. They are truly wonderful people who want to help others. I thank each and every one of them for helping to give me love back to myself. Dr. Mitchell was so detail oriented with my procedure that I went in feeling prepared. If you are thinking about doing anything cosmetic please consider everyone here at PVPS, they never once pressured me and are up front about cost right after the consultation. The consultation fee was $100 but makes you a lifetime patient with them. Thank you PVPS staff/family!
Every single person in this group has been kind and attentive. Dr Christopher Bates has done an amazing Mommy Makeover for me. I am only 3 weeks post op and love every aspect of this huge transition. I cannot even properly convey how thrilled and life changing this has been for me emotionally and physically. Very highly recommend this group and especially Dr Bates.
I couldn't be happier with my results! After my full mommy makeover, I feel like a new person. I am absolutely obsessed with my belly button!! It's perfect! Thank you so much, Dr. Bates and the whole PVPS team for giving me back my confidence and helping me love my body again. Your skill and care truly made all the difference. Highly recommend!
I had a mommy makeover surgery with Dr. Sternburg and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Dr. Sternburg did an amazing job; I am very pleased with the results and the care I received. The staff was also wonderful, especially Lisa, the nurse, who was incredibly helpful and sweet. She made the whole process feel much less scary and was always there to answer my questions. The anesthesiologist also did a fantastic job, making sure I was comfortable and well taken care of throughout. Highly recommend this team for anyone considering elective surgery!

What Will My Results Be After a Mommy Makeover?
Results from a mommy makeover will reveal themselves in multiple stages as the breast implants settle into their natural placement and the incisions begin to heal. It generally takes a full year for all of the changes from a mommy makeover to become finalized.
If stretch marks exist on an area of your body (i.e. breast, tummy, etc.) that’s going to be lifted and tightened, these marks may be removed when the excess skin is trimmed away.
For any stretch marks left behind — as well as any other skin irregularities that may exist — there are skin rejuvenating techniques that can help fade and remove these imperfections.
Scarring will occur with almost any cosmetic procedure. However, every effort is made to place and close the incisions carefully so that scarring is minimized. Scarring eventually fades into faint lines and can be concealed by undergarments and bathing suits. Most patients feel that the physical results following a mommy makeover in Jacksonville far outweigh the scarring that is left behind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a mommy makeover safe?
There are always risks to consider when thinking about surgery. When different procedures are combined, those risks can increase; therefore, it’s important to find an experienced cosmetic surgeon who is skilled in performing multiple procedures in one setting. Ultimately, a combination procedure can have numerous benefits, including only having to undergo surgery once — which means only one recovery and one fee.
What happens if I get pregnant?
In a perfect world, women would wait to have a mommy makeover until after all pregnancies have been completed so the surgical results are not compromised. Generally, any body part that has been lifted or tightened would be at risk for stretching out if a subsequent pregnancy were to occur.
How can I prepare for a mommy makeover to ensure the best results?
Preparing for a mommy makeover involves both physical and mental readiness. Patients should maintain a stable weight, follow a healthy diet, and stop smoking well in advance of the surgery. Additionally, having a support system in place for post-operative care and recovery can greatly enhance the overall experience and results.
How will a mommy makeover impact my breastfeeding ability?
Most women can still breastfeed after a mommy makeover, especially if breast augmentation or reduction techniques are used that preserve the milk ducts. However, it’s important to discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon during the consultation, as certain surgical techniques may impact milk production or breastfeeding comfort.
What About Stretch Marks?
If stretch marks exist on an area of the body (i.e. breast, tummy, etc.) that is going to be lifted and tightened, they may be removed when the excess skin is trimmed away. For any stretch marks left behind, as well as any other skin irregularities that may exist, there are skin-rejuvenating techniques that can help fade and remove these imperfections.
Will I Have Scars?
Scarring will occur with almost any cosmetic procedure. However, every effort is made to place and close the incisions carefully so that scarring is minimized. Scarring eventually fades into faint lines and can be concealed by undergarments and bathing suits. Most patients feel that the physical results following a mommy makeover far outweigh the scarring left behind.
