Mommy Makeover Cost & Recovery in Orange County: What to Expect

A mommy makeover combines body-contouring procedures to help restore your pre-pregnancy shape after the physical changes of pregnancy and breastfeeding. It’s one of the most requested procedure combinations at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center among patients from Los Alamitos, Long Beach, and across Orange County. Here’s what’s typically included, what drives the cost, and what recovery looks like.

What’s Included in a Mommy Makeover?

“Mommy makeover” isn’t a single procedure — it’s a personalized combination, most often built from a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and liposuction, chosen based on your specific goals and body after pregnancy. Read our full Mommy Makeover overview for a breakdown of how these procedures are typically combined.

What Determines the Cost?

Because a mommy makeover is customized, cost varies based on which procedures are combined, surgical time, anesthesia, and facility fees. During your consultation, Dr. Raman Mehrzad will build a specific surgical plan and provide a detailed quote — we avoid generic package pricing because it rarely reflects what any individual patient actually needs. Our financing options page outlines available payment plans for patients planning ahead for surgery.

Recovery Timeline

• Week 1-2: Rest is essential; most patients take at least two weeks off work, longer if a tummy tuck is included.
• Weeks 3-4: Swelling steadily decreases; light daily activity resumes as cleared.
• Weeks 6-8: Most patients resume exercise and more strenuous activity once fully cleared.
• 3-6 months: Final results continue to refine as residual swelling resolves.

Because multiple procedures are combined, recovery is generally paced to the most involved individual procedure — typically the tummy tuck if one is included. Our Tummy Tuck Recovery guide has a detailed week-by-week breakdown that applies closely to combined mommy makeover recovery as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long after pregnancy should I wait for a mommy makeover?

Most surgeons recommend waiting at least six months after giving birth, and longer if breastfeeding, to allow your body and weight to stabilize before surgery.

Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?

It’s generally recommended to complete your family before undergoing a mommy makeover, since future pregnancy can affect the surgical results.

Is a mommy makeover performed in one surgery?

In most cases, yes — combining procedures into a single operation means one recovery period instead of several, though your surgeon may recommend staging procedures in select cases based on safety considerations.

Does insurance cover any part of a mommy makeover?

Mommy makeovers are generally considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance, though a breast reduction component may qualify for partial coverage if it addresses documented physical symptoms.
