Beyond Mom Duty: Redefining Your Look with a Mommy Makeover Surgery
Hey there, supermoms! Juggling work, family, and that elusive "me-time" can leave its mark. Maybe your once-perky breasts have seen better days, or your tummy just doesn't quite snap back like it used to. If you're in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, and those pre-baby jeans are collecting dust in the back of your closet, a mommy makeover by Dr. Sameer Kapadia in Elk Grove Village and Chicago might be the key to your secret superpower!

A Mommy Makeover is a tailored plan that treats the changes most people see after pregnancy, nursing, and weight shifts. In practical terms, it often combines procedures such as tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) for loose skin and muscle separation (diastasis recti), liposuction for stubborn pockets of fat, and a breast procedure—breast augmentation, breast lift, or both—to restore shape. Your plan is mapped to your proportions, goals, and daily life in Elk Grove Village and Chicago. The aim: a balanced contour that looks natural in clothes and moves well during real life—school pickups, gym time, weekends.
Aesthetic Issues a Mommy Makeover Addresses
Scars: C-section and other scars that can be revised as part of abdominoplasty
Confidence matters, but this is also about comfort and function. Patients tell us they stand taller when core support returns, shirts skim rather than cling, and bras finally sit where they should. Breasts feel proportionate again. The abdomen feels stable for everyday tasks and workouts. Clothes fit closer to true size—without strategic layering.
A Mommy Makeover consolidates recovery into a single, thoughtfully planned window rather than multiple surgeries. That can mean less time away from work and family. Most importantly, it produces a cohesive result: breast, waist, and hip lines read as one complete shape, not disconnected parts.
During your consultation for a Mommy Makeover Elk Grove Village plastic surgeon, Dr. Kapadia, will discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you might have. He'll then recommend the perfect combination of mommy makeover procedures for your unique needs.
The mommy makeover procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the details of undergoing surgery for your mommy makeover, you might expect to stay overnight in the surgical center. Recovery involves some downtime (think comfy couch and Netflix marathons!). Dr. Kapadia will provide detailed instructions to ensure a smooth healing process and check your recovery progress at post-operative visits.
The full results of your Mommy Makeover can take up to six months to fully emerge as swelling subsides. But hey, momma, good things come to those who wait!

Pricing depends on the mix of procedures, OR time, facility/anesthesia, and aftercare needs. In the U.S., a Mommy Makeover commonly ranges from $6,500 to $27,000+, depending on scope. After examination, you’ll receive a personalized quote that spells out what’s included (surgeon’s fee, facility/anesthesia, standard garments, and routine follow-ups). We also review payment options and realistic timelines, so planning is straightforward.
It's best to wait until you're finished having children. Pregnancy can undo the results of your mommy makeover. During your consultation with Dr. Kapadia, you'll discuss your family planning goals to ensure the timing is right for you.
Dr. Kapadia recommends waiting at least 6 months after childbirth and finishing breastfeeding before considering surgery. This allows your body to heal, your weight to stabilize, and ensures the safest and most effective results.
Most patients wait at least 6 months after delivery and 3 months after finishing breastfeeding, with a stable weight. This protects healing and gives a truer starting point.
If you need it, the tummy tuck component can repair muscle separation, which improves core support and flattens the midline bulge.
Plan to avoid lifting more than a light grocery bag for 2 weeks, then increase gradually. If a tummy tuck is included, heavier lifting and core strain wait 4–6 weeks, pending clearance.
We don’t chase a number. We look for a stable, healthy weight you can maintain. That produces results that last.
Depending on the combination and your health history, we may recommend an overnight for comfort and monitoring. Many patients still go home the same day with a responsible adult.
Often, yes—tummy tuck planning can address the shelf and scar placement as part of the lower abdominal skin removal.
You can safely become pregnant after healing, but pregnancy can change the result. If you plan to have more children soon, it’s wise to wait.
Walking starts day one. Light cardio usually resumes around two to three weeks. Strength training returns gradually between four and six weeks with a plan we tailor to your procedures.
Not always. If we use them, we’ll teach you simple care and remove them when output is low—often within the first week.
All surgery carries risk: bleeding, infection, fluid build-up, delayed healing, clots, sensation changes, and scar concerns. We minimize risk with careful planning, sterile technique, and close follow-up—and we’ll review warning signs so you know when to call.
