Introduction
From stretched abdominal muscles to deflated breasts and new pockets of stubborn fat, many women find themselves missing the way they used to look before pregnancy and childbirth.
A mommy makeover at Lake Norman Plastic Surgery is designed to help restore confidence by addressing these areas in one customized procedure. Dr. Henry Wilson, a double board-certified plastic surgeon serving the Lake Norman region—including Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, and Denver—combines surgical skill, artistry, and compassion to help women regain strength, femininity, and balance.
Mommy Makeover Patient
A mommy makeover isn’t a single operation but a personalized combination of procedures designed around your specific goals. Most women include a breast enhancement procedure (augmentation or lift) and body contouring surgeries such as a tummy tuck and liposuction, but every plan is customized.
Whether your main concern is your abdomen, your breasts, or your overall shape, Dr. Wilson tailors each mommy makeover to achieve natural, harmonious, and proportional results.
Pregnancy often affects the breasts and abdomen most significantly. Breasts can lose volume or sag after breastfeeding, while abdominal muscles stretch or separate, leaving a persistent bulge. A mommy makeover can combine a breast lift or augmentation with a tummy tuck to restore firmness, smooth contours, and a more youthful torso.
For women noticing upper-body changes, a mommy makeover may include a breast procedure with an arm lift to tighten and refine the upper arms. This combination enhances proportion and creates a more balanced look in sleeveless clothing or swimwear.
When pregnancy impacts the core and lower body, the focus may be on a tummy tuck with liposuction or a thigh lift. This approach smooths the abdomen and sculpts the legs, creating a leaner, more toned silhouette.
For patients satisfied with their breasts but wanting to refine their arms and thighs, liposuction and skin-tightening procedures can restore definition and balance—helping clothes fit better and improving confidence without addressing the chest or abdomen.
Ideal candidates are healthy women who have completed their families or don’t plan future pregnancies, since additional pregnancies could affect the results. Candidates should:
Dr. Wilson will review your goals, health history, and anatomy to determine whether a mommy makeover is right for you.
A mommy makeover helps women across Lake Norman and the greater Charlotte area feel like themselves again, with benefits that include:
By addressing several areas at once, many women achieve a comprehensive transformation that no single procedure could deliver alone.
On the day of your body contouring procedure, you will be welcomed by our experienced surgical team in the accredited surgical facility in Huntersville, where Dr. Wilson maintains privileges.
Anesthesia services are provided and overseen by board-certified physician anesthesiologists to ensure your comfort and safety.
Depending on your plan, Dr. Wilson may begin with liposuction or abdominal muscle repair, followed by breast or contouring procedures. After surgery, you’ll recover under close supervision before returning home the same day with a trusted caregiver.
Your Guide to Post-Mommy Makeover Care
Recovery depends on the procedures performed, but most patients need about 2 weeks off work and daily responsibilities. Swelling and bruising improve steadily during the first few weeks, and compression garments help reduce swelling and support your new contours.
Dr. Wilson and his team will monitor your progress carefully, guiding you through every step of recovery.
The cost of a mommy makeover varies based on your customized plan, including the procedures performed, anesthesia, and facility fees.
During your consultation, Dr. Wilson will provide a personalized quote and review available financing options to make treatment more accessible.
