Here are some factors our Baton Rouge plastic surgeon considers when determining if a mommy makeover is right for you:

Ideal candidates often have excess or sagging skin around the stomach area.

Many seek a mommy makeover due to deflated or misshapen breasts after pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Candidates should be free of health conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery.

Those in good overall health who do not smoke are better suited for the procedure and healing process.

It is best to wait until you’re finished having children, as future pregnancies can affect results.

Understanding both the possibilities and limitations of a mommy makeover is key to a successful procedure.
Dr. Stephens offers additional cosmetic options that can be explored during your consultation in Baton Rouge. You'll receive detailed information about potential risks, side effects, and aftercare to ensure you know exactly what to expect.
At Stephens Plastic Surgery, every mommy makeover is tailored to your individual cosmetic goals and concerns. While each treatment plan is unique, a mommy makeover typically includes a combination of the following procedures:

Dr. Stephens is one of the few surgeons in the area who can create a new belly button with no scar as part of a tummy tuck procedure for the most natural-looking results. He can also perform hernia repair as part of the procedure.

Liposuction is a procedure that targets stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s commonly used to contour the body and remove excess fat, helping create a smoother, more toned appearance.

After breastfeeding, many women notice their breasts have lost volume and may appear flat or deflated. Breast augmentation involves adding saline or silicone implants to restore fullness. Dr. Stephens will discuss which option is best for you during your consultation.

Pregnancy can cause the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. This procedure lifts the breasts and reshapes them using sophisticated tissue removal techniques. The nipples may be repositioned to face forward or made smaller. This procedure restores a youthful, round shape to the breasts.

Recovery from a mommy makeover depends on the combination of procedures performed and the extent of refinement. Generally speaking, you can expect your recovery timeline to look similar to this:

The initial days are the most demanding. You will need someone to drive you home from surgery and help around the house, especially if you have young children. Plan for childcare coverage during this period, since lifting and bending should be avoided entirely. Dr. Stephens personally calls every surgical patient the evening after their procedure, and you will have his direct cell phone number for added peace of mind.

Most patients begin returning to light daily activities within two to three weeks, though exercise and strenuous movement should wait until Dr. Stephens clears you. Compression garments are typically worn during this phase to support healing and reduce swelling. Follow-up appointments at our Baton Rouge office will keep your recovery on track.

Incision lines will appear red or raised at first, but they fade significantly over six to twelve months. Dr. Stephens' techniques (including the neo-umbilicus method for tummy tuck) are specifically designed to minimize visible scarring. Swelling continues to resolve over three to six months, and most patients see their final shape settle around the one-year mark.
Every mommy makeover recovery is different. During your consultation, Dr. Stephens will outline a personalized timeline based on your specific procedure combination so you can prepare with confidence.
