Orange County Mommy Makeover

Motherhood is a life-changing experience, but it often brings lasting changes to your body that can be difficult to reverse with diet and exercise alone. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Orange County, Dr. David Kahng offers personalized mommy makeover procedures designed to restore your pre-pregnancy contours and help you feel confident in your body again.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgical procedures that address the physical changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. These changes often include excess abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles, sagging breasts, and stubborn fat in the waist, hips, or thighs.

Dr. Kahng’s approach to mommy makeover surgery in Orange County is personalized for each patient, typically combining body contouring and breast enhancement procedures into a single surgical plan to maximize results and minimize recovery time.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover in Orange County may be right for you if you:

Have sagging or deflated breasts after pregnancy or breastfeeding
Are bothered by stretched abdominal skin or muscle separation
Have localized fat deposits that don’t respond to exercise
Are in good health and have finished childbearing
Have realistic expectations about results and recovery

A consultation with Dr. Kahng will determine which combination of procedures is best suited to your needs and aesthetic goals.

Common Mommy Makeover Procedures

Breast Enhancement

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often cause volume loss and skin stretching. Depending on your anatomy and preferences, Dr. Kahng may recommend a breast lift, breast augmentation, or a combination of both to restore fullness, shape, and symmetry.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) addresses loose skin and weakened or separated abdominal muscles. It restores core strength and tightens the midsection for a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Liposuction

Liposuction is often included to remove excess fat from areas such as the flanks, thighs, and waistline. This enhances the sculpted appearance of the midsection and complements the results of your tummy tuck and breast procedures.

Additional Enhancements

Depending on your needs, your mommy makeover can also include procedures like stretch mark treatment, skin tightening, or fat transfer for natural volume restoration in areas such as the buttocks or face.

Is It Safe to Combine Multiple Procedures?

When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Kahng in an accredited surgical facility, combining procedures into a single session is both common and safe. Benefits include:

A single anesthesia session
Lower overall surgical costs
A consolidated recovery period
More dramatic, balanced results

Dr. Kahng carefully evaluates your medical history and treatment goals to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

What Is Recovery Like After a Mommy Makeover?

Recovery will vary depending on which procedures are included, but most patients need 2–3 weeks off work for major procedures like tummy tuck and breast surgery.

You’ll receive a full aftercare plan with details on activity restrictions, incision care, pain management, and timelines for returning to daily life and exercise. Minor treatments like liposuction or non-surgical skin rejuvenation may have little to no downtime.

Should I Wait Until After Having More Children?

In most cases, it’s recommended that you wait until you are finished having children before undergoing a mommy makeover. Pregnancy after surgery may undo some of the improvements, particularly in the abdomen and breasts.

That said, every patient’s situation is different. Some women choose to proceed with surgery to feel more confident now. Dr. Kahng will discuss your long-term goals and help you decide what’s best for your body and lifestyle.
