Mommy Makeover

A bespoke combination of restorative procedures designed to rejuvenate your pre-pregnancy figure in a single surgery.

Mommy Makeover

Enhance Your Figure

A personalised
path to confidence

A Mommy Makeover is a highly personalised combination of aesthetic procedures tailored specifically to address the physical changes brought on by pregnancy and breastfeeding. Typically, this comprehensive surgery pairs breast rejuvenation (lift, augmentation, or reduction) with abdominal contouring (tummy tuck and liposuction) to restore and refine your entire silhouette in one session.

Dr. Gus Hoogendyk approaches the Mommy Makeover with strategic precision, designing a surgical plan that maximises aesthetic transformation while consolidating recovery time. By comprehensively addressing deflated breasts, loose abdominal skin, and stubborn pockets of fat simultaneously, he helps mothers reclaim their bodies,
their comfort, and their personal confidence.

“Motherhood alters the body profoundly; a tailored makeover restores your pre-pregnancy confidence in a single journey.”

Each stage is designed around your comfort, safety, and outcome. Dr. Gus walks every patient through this process in detail during your fully private consultation.

Personal Consultation

A comprehensive evaluation of your breast and body goals to curate the perfect combination of procedures.

Extensive pre-surgical planning and medical clearance. General anaesthesia is safely administered.

Dr. Gus performs the selected procedures sequentially, typically addressing the breasts first, followed by the abdomen.

You are placed in specialised compression garments for both the chest and abdomen to support healing.

Thorough follow-up care ensures all areas are healing harmoniously, revealing the final transformed silhouette.

Step By Step

What Is Recovery Like?

Because a Mommy Makeover combines procedures, the initial recovery is demanding and requires dedicated help
at home.

Days 1–7

Rest is paramount. You will experience significant soreness and must have assistance with childcare and daily tasks.

Week 2–3

Energy levels improve and soreness subsides. Most patients can slowly resume driving and light, non-strenuous work.

Month 1

Swelling across the body begins to reduce dramatically. You will feel remarkably better but must still avoid lifting.

Final Result

At 3-6 months, all surgical swelling resolves, scars fade, and your completely rejuvenated figure is beautifully apparent.
