Nobody actually ‘needs’ a mommy makeover, but when properly done by an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon can correct many of the more frustrating signs of aging and restore a natural and youthful appearance to the body and therefore improve self-confidence and quality of life for appropriately selected patients. There are many options and approaches for improving abdominal contour depending on skin and aging patterns, extent of laxity and fat excess, body shape, tolerance for scarring and downtime, goals, and budget. The most important consideration is finding a qualified plastic surgeon that you can trust in order to fully explore and determine your best options.
Mommy Makeover
A ‘Mommy Makeover’ refers to a variety of cosmetic surgical and even non-surgical procedures that help restore several body changes experienced in women after childbearing and aging.
The body areas most commonly involved are the breasts, abdomen, hips and flanks, buttocks, genitalia, and the upper outer and inner thighs.
Motherhood changes everything—especially your body. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics in Toledo, OH, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Barone offers a personalized Mommy Makeover designed to help you feel confident in your own skin again. Whether you’re addressing changes after pregnancy, aging, or weight loss, this tailored treatment blends advanced surgical options with proven non-surgical enhancements. Dr. Barone and the EVOLV team are committed to delivering natural-looking results that reflect your strength, beauty, and unique story.
THE PROCEDURE
What It Is
The aesthetic procedures in Mommy Makeover are designed to restore and rejuvenate the body contour and appearance of a woman after childbearing and aging. After pregnancy, many changes can occur and can vary in severity and appearance depending on the anatomy, age, number of pregnancies, and overall lifestyle of a patient. A mommy makeover is most often performed as a single-stage procedure combing aesthetic surgical techniques addressing each woman’s area of concern. Possible procedures in a mommy makeover include:
- Breast augmentation, lift (mastopexy), or reduction
- Liposuction and selective removal of excess fatty collections
- Tummy tuck or body lift, repair of abdominal muscle separation, thigh, and buttock lifting
- Buttock augmentation with fat grafting or implants
- Arm lift or brachioplasty
- Vaginal rejuvenation (surgical or non-surgical), the elevation of the mons pubis (mons lift) with the Ultra Femme 360 (LINK)
- Non-surgical muscle toning and contouring (abdomen, buttocks, and arms) with EMSCULPT
- Non-surgical pelvic floor strengthening to reduce incontinence and increase bladder support with EMSELLA
A Mommy Makeover is a personalized set of procedures designed to restore your body’s appearance after childbirth or aging. Depending on your needs, this may include breast enhancement, liposuction, tummy tuck, vaginal rejuvenation, and non-surgical body contouring. Typically performed in a single stage, the treatment targets multiple areas to deliver comprehensive, long-lasting results with a focus on comfort and balance.
How It Works
A mommy makeover begins with a comprehensive consultation, where Dr. Barone listens to your goals and creates a personalized treatment plan. The procedure typically combines several surgical techniques in one session, allowing you to address multiple areas of concern within one recovery period. Advanced body contouring techniques ensure natural, long-lasting results while minimizing downtime. This integrated approach restores youthful contours, corrects the effects of pregnancy and aging, and enhances overall body harmony so you can feel your best again.
What It Treats
- Loss of breast volume and deflation; sagging
- Poorly supported large breasts with sagging and discomfort
- Stubborn and excess fatty deposits of the trunk and extremities
- Excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen, pubis, hips, and thighs
- Loss of abdominal wall strength due to muscle separation from pregnancy
- Deflated or sagging buttocks
- Heavy and sagging upper arms
- Aging changes and excess of the external genitalia and vaginal dryness and laxity
- Urinary incontinence caused by multiple childbirth and aging
These changes are common, but they don’t have to be permanent. A Mommy Makeover can help correct many physical changes associated with pregnancy and aging—such as sagging breasts, stretched abdominal muscles, stubborn fat, and skin laxity. For patients in Toledo, this treatment also offers solutions for vaginal laxity and urinary incontinence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a mommy makeover surgery in Toledo?
Can I improve my abdominal, hip, and waistline issues without surgery?
EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art, non-surgical options in addition to cosmetic surgery that can reduce fat and tighten skin. If you have minor fatty and skin excess and laxity, Vanquish ME (link) and Exilis Ultra are state-of-the-art, FDA cleared options for non-invasive office treatment. Vaser Liposuction and Renuvion JPlasma can effectively remove smaller fat deposits, tighten tissue, and improve shape without larger surgical incisions and recovery times. For most common patient issues however, surgical abdominoplasty and muscle repair and liposuction if needed, are the most effective and long-lasting options to fully restore a long-lasting youthful abdominal contour.
How much does a mommy makeover surgery usually cost?
Mommy makeover costs will depend on multiple factors including the extent of the deformity and surgical correction planned, whether other ancillary procedures are indicated, and the surgical facility and anesthesia expenses. You will be provided with a complete and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.
Are all mommy makeover procedures and results basically the same?
Not at all. Mommy makeovers in Toledo use techniques and approaches that can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic and the nature of each patient’s aging pattern. Dr. Barone prefers a more comprehensive aesthetic body contouring approach that involves emphasis on pre-operative preparation and planning, and a post procedure program that employs various therapeutic modalities proven to reduce swelling and downtime. Dr. Barone believes that a more comprehensive approach involving repositioning and deep support of aging tissue, minimizing visible scars, combined with balanced removal of excess fat rather than ’skin pulling techniques’ are the most effective methods to restore a long lasting, balanced, and youthful appearance to the abdomen, waistline and hips without the typical ‘operated’ or unnatural look.
What is the expected recovery time after a mommy makeover in Toledo?
Recovery or downtime after the mommy makeover procedure will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures as well as patient age and health and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and progresses thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health along with improving muscle tone with EmSculpt therapy and exercise can significantly improve the quality and longevity of tummy tuck and aesthetic body contouring surgery in Toledo. A personalized medical skin care program as well as proven naturopathic supplements for healing, post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning.
How long will a mommy makeover last?
Mommy makeover results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors. These include patient age, lifestyle and genetics, surgical technique, and approach and, most importantly, post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments. Regular exercise and healthy lifestyle, as well as improving muscle tone and EmSculpt treatments can also contribute to improving and increasing quality and longevity of your surgery. A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery and, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results longer than traditional tummy tuck procedures.
Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?
Yes, though future pregnancies may impact results. Dr. Barone typically recommends completing your family before undergoing a Mommy Makeover to preserve your outcomes.
Will there be visible scarring after a mommy makeover?
Some minor scarring is expected, but we use advanced techniques to ensure incisions for your mommy makeover are placed discreetly and heal beautifully over time.
What procedures are typically included in a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover often includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation or lift, liposuction, and sometimes vaginal rejuvenation. Each plan is fully customized to meet your unique body contouring goals.
How should I prepare for my mommy makeover surgery?
The EVOLV team in Toledo will guide you through every step of preparation. This typically includes lab testing, adjusting medications, and planning for your post-surgery recovery to ensure a smooth, safe experience.
Is it safe to combine multiple procedures in one mommy makeover session?
Yes. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Barone at an accredited facility, combining procedures in a Mommy Makeover is both safe and efficient, often reducing overall recovery time
