If you’ve been exploring ways to restore your body after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes, chances are you’ve encountered the term mommy makeover. The procedure has become especially popular here in Greater Boston and throughout Massachusetts for good reason—women are increasingly realizing they don’t have to live with changes to their bodies that don’t reflect how vibrant and confident they feel inside.
Part of the growing appeal of a mommy makeover is that it’s not a “one-size-fits-all” approach; it’s a personalized plan that combines surgeries to target the areas that matter most to you. With this in mind, let’s explore some of the most requested mommy makeover procedures in Boston and explore how they restore confidence and comfort.

1. Tummy Tuck + Breast Augmentation
One of the most common pairings, this combination addresses 2 of the most significant post-pregnancy changes: a “belly pooch” and deflated breasts. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) tightens stretched abdominal muscles and removes excess skin, while breast augmentation restores lost volume. Together, they create a more balanced, youthful-looking figure.
Ideal for: Patients experiencing deflated breasts and loose skin around the midsection.
2. Tummy Tuck + Breast Lift
Not everyone wants or needs implants. For women who prefer to enhance their natural breast shape, a breast lift (mastopexy) combined with a tummy tuck is a go-to choice. This duo lifts sagging breasts into a more youthful position while simultaneously flattening and firming the stomach.
Ideal for: Patients with sagging breasts who want perkier contours without enhancing breast size.
3. Breast Augmentation + Liposuction
This is a popular combination for women who don’t need a tummy tuck but still want to refine their post-baby silhouette. Breast augmentation restores fullness, while liposuction slims stubborn fat deposits around the waist, hips, or thighs. I use an innovative technique called “tickle liposuction” that is gentler than traditional methods.
Ideal for: Patients close to their goal weight—but bothered by stubborn fat pockets—who also wish to restore breast size and shape.
4. Tummy Tuck + Liposuction
Another highly requested pairing, this combination is designed for comprehensive abdominal contouring. A tummy tuck tightens skin and repairs muscle separation, while liposuction removes unwanted fat for a smoother, sleeker silhouette.
Ideal for: Patients who want a flatter, more sculpted stomach.
5. The Trifecta: Tummy Tuck + Breast Surgery + Liposuction
For many local women, the “classic” mommy makeover involves all 3 procedures. Combining a tummy tuck, breast surgery (augmentation or lift), and liposuction creates the most dramatic transformation in a single surgery—with only 1 recovery window for busy Boston moms.
Ideal for: Patients who want comprehensive rejuvenation within a single surgery.
When Is the Best Time To Get a Mommy Makeover in Boston?
Timing is always an essential component of planning your mommy makeover surgery. I recommend waiting until you are done having children, finished breastfeeding, and have reached a stable weight. Choosing the right time ensures long-lasting results and minimizes the need for future revisions.
Locally, many women find that scheduling surgery in the late fall or winter works well. The cooler weather makes recovery garments more comfortable, and the downtime often aligns with the school year and indoor activities. Planning your mommy makeover during these months also means you’ll be ready to enjoy your results when spring and summer arrive, whether you’re out shopping on Newbury Street or enjoying the Cape!
Ultimately, though, the best time is whenever you feel ready—both physically and emotionally—to invest in yourself.
