All the wonders of childbearing bring so much joy and excitement. Unfortunately, pregnancy and breast feeding can be very hard on a woman’s body, which is why Harvard trained, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Juris Bunkis offers mommy makeover procedures to restore a woman’s physique.
Mommy makeover in Newport Beach
A mommy makeover combines several procedures to achieve the pre-pregnancy body you desire. At Orange County Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, a breast and abdominal procedure are frequently combined during a mommy makeover. These surgeries can be performed all at once or staged over time. During a private consult at our practice, we will discuss what areas of the body would benefit most from a mommy makeover and create a treatment plan that is unique to you.

Mommy makeover candidates
During a private consultation, Dr. Bunkis will listen to all the concerns each patient has about her body to see if she is a good candidate for these procedures. Many women seeking these treatments and surgeries have:
- Breasts that sag and droop from multiple pregnancies and breastfeeding
- A tummy with bulges of fat that did not go away with after-pregnancy weight loss
- Extra skin on the arms, buttock, or thighs that did not bounce back after pregnancy weight
- A less than desirable shape to their breasts or buttocks and need enhancement to fill in the lost volume after the baby
- Multiple areas of the body with visible, unattractive stretch marks

Is the Mommy Makeover done all at one time?
Pregnancy changes many areas of the body, and a mommy makeover will require careful planning and could be implemented in stages. Dr. Bunkis has years of experience performing these surgeries in one setting; however, sometimes the health of the patient requires more than one surgery date. The end result is still the same; just expect that some women will have more surgeries than other women and will endure a longer recovery time.
Some of the mommy makeover procedures may include a combination of:
- Breast Augmentation
- Breast Lift (with or without implants)
- Tummy Tuck
- Liposuction
- Thigh Lift
- Butt Lift
- Arm Lift
- Labiaplasty
- Skin rejuvenation (laser treatments, Medical toxins, fillers)
Dr. Bunkis will ensure that our mommy makeover patients have the best in recovery care and pain management after the procedure.

Mommy makeover recovery and results
New moms love the fact that once the extra skin has been removed and tightened, their stretch marks are drastically reduced. Our practice can minimize the remaining stretch marks with nonsurgical treatments such as lasers, microdermabrasion, and/or chemical peels. This does not mean there will not be surgery scars. As with all plastic surgeries, our highly-credentialed plastic surgeon will do the best to minimize scarring with careful incision techniques and placement.
While the recovery time does take several months, patients are able to return to a normal routine in about 4-6 weeks and should wait for clearance from the plastic surgeon before starting to exercise again. The entire mommy makeover transformation could take up to a year for recovery. The results are life-changing for many women.

Beauty after baby
With their changed bodies, some women feel less than beautiful with an after-baby body. Even though there are risks involved with plastic surgery, such as possible post-operation infection and scarring, the mommy makeover has produced tremendous results, giving women back their youthful figure and body confidence.
