What Is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is not a single procedure; it’s a customized surgical plan that combines various procedures to address the areas most affected by pregnancy and weight fluctuations, specifically the breasts and abdomen.
Each patient’s surgical plan is custom tailored by Dr. Tabbal to their unique anatomy, goals, and lifestyle, incorporating the most suitable procedures. This combination of surgical techniques enables Dr. Tabbal’s patients in North Dallas to regain their confidence and feel good about their appearance.
What Are the Benefits of a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover includes procedures that address the two most commonly affected areas during pregnancy: the breasts and the body. Some of the most common concerns that mothers express after pregnancy which can be addressed during surgery include:
- Restoring abdominal contour and core support
- Improving breast shape, volume, and symmetry
- Localized areas of fat with the abdomen and flanks
- Enhancing overall body proportions
By addressing multiple areas in one surgery, patients can enjoy the following advantages:
- Exposure to minimal anesthesia
- Reduced overall recovery time compared to undergoing separate procedures
- Minimized costs associated with surgery
What Does a Mommy Makeover Consist of?
During his aesthetic surgery fellowship, Dr. Tabbal received advanced training in both traditional and modern body contouring techniques, including abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), suction-assisted liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, and aesthetic breast surgery. By thoughtfully combining these approaches, he creates fully customized mommy makeover procedures for patients in Frisco, Dallas, and the surrounding North Texas area—tailored to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Tummy Tuck and Liposuction
Pregnancy often leads to changes in the abdomen, such as stretched skin, weakened muscles, and stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. As part of a mommy makeover in Frisco, Dr. Tabbal performs tummy tuck surgery to restore a flatter, firmer abdominal contour by tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin. Liposuction is frequently added to refine the waistline and flanks, creating a more sculpted, natural-looking result. Many patients from the Dallas area find that these improvements not only enhance their appearance but also restore confidence in their body.
Breast Enhancement
After pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is common for women to experience volume loss, deflation, and sagging of the breasts. Dr. Tabbal can address these concerns with a breast lift (mastopexy), with or without breast augmentation, to restore a more youthful, elevated shape. For patients seeking additional fullness, saline or silicone implants can be used to achieve a balanced, proportionate look. This combination is a key component of many mommy makeover procedures in Dallas and Frisco, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident in their overall silhouette.
Every mommy makeover is carefully planned with a focus on safety, precision, and long-term results. Patients throughout Frisco, Dallas, and North Texas can benefit from a tailored surgical approach, advanced techniques, and a highly attentive experience from consultation through recovery—making the process as smooth and reassuring as possible.
Although mommy makeovers regularly combine a breast procedure with a tummy tuck, Dr. Tabbal will recommend specific procedures to match your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. This combination may include:
- Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and fat around the abdomen while tightening stretched abdominal muscles to flatten the abdomen.
- Liposuction is often used to contour the torso, including the abdomen, flanks, axilla, and other areas by removing stubborn fat.
- Breast augmentation, using fat transfer or either saline or silicone breast implants, can restore the fullness lost after pregnancy or enhance naturally small breasts.
- Breast lift surgery helps lift low nipples and breast tissue that are too low while also reshaping the breast mound.
- Breast reduction can alleviate symptoms from heavy, pendulous breast tissue while making breast size and shape more proportionate with a patient’s frame.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Mommy Makeover?
If you’re healthy, at or near your target weight, have given birth, and no longer plan to have more children, you may be a great candidate for a mommy makeover. Other factors that make you an ideal candidate include the following:
- You have loose abdominal skin or muscle separation.
- You notice breast sagging, deflation, or asymmetry.
- You have realistic expectations about recovery and results.
During your consultation with Dr. Tabbal, he’ll discuss the options that best suit your needs.
What is the Recovery After a Mommy Makeover?
Recovering from a mommy makeover in Frisco, TX is a journey, and Dr. Tabbal is here to guide you every step of the way. Every patient heals differently, and Dr. Tabbal’s approach is focused on providing personalized care throughout the entire recovery process.
In the first days after your mommy makeover, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas. These are normal signs of healing and should gradually improve over time. Pain can be effectively managed with prescribed medication.
Many women feel ready to return to work and light daily activities within about two weeks, but it’s important to give your body time to heal fully. Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and high-impact activities should be avoided for several weeks to protect your results and ensure optimal healing.
After surgery, you’ll have scheduled follow-up visits so your progress can be monitored by Dr. Tabbal. Throughout your recovery, he is always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and support you as you heal.
Recovering from a mommy makeover can vary depending on the specific procedures performed. Generally, most patients require the assistance of an adult family member or friend to help with routine activities like preparing meals, taking showers, and doing housework for about one to two weeks. Patients can expect the following:
Week 1:
- Prescription pain medication is necessary for the first few days (up to a week).
- Rest is crucial. During this time, patients need to remain flexed at the hips.
Week 2:
- Patients can sleep and walk upright.
- Over-the-counter pain medication is often used to manage pain.
- Any drains used during surgery have typically been removed.
Week 3:
- Patients can resume light activities and even drive themselves.
Week 4-6:
- The activity level gradually increases, and light exercise can be performed.
3 Months:
- Most of the swelling (up to 80%) has subsided.
- Patients can start performing abdominal and core exercises.
6-12 Months:
- Residual swelling continues to decrease.
- Surgical scars mature, becoming lighter and flatter.
Dr. Tabbal’s goal is to help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results while making your recovery safe, smooth, and as comfortable as possible. If you’re considering a mommy makeover in Frisco, TX, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Will I Have Scars?
Mommy makeover procedures performed by Dr. Tabbal are comprehensive operations, and as with any surgery, some degree of scarring is expected. The extent and visibility of these scars can often be influenced by the specific combination of procedures selected, as well as each patient’s individual healing characteristics and genetic predisposition.
Liposuction typically results in minimal scarring, as it requires only small access points. Whenever possible, Dr. Tabbal places these incisions in discreet locations to further reduce visibility. In contrast, an abdominoplasty involves a longer incision, usually extending from hip to hip. However, Dr. Tabbal places this scar low on the abdomen, allowing it to be easily concealed beneath clothing and swimwear.
For breast procedures, scar patterns typically vary depending on the surgical approach and whether a lift, augmentation, or a breast lift with implants is performed. Even so, these scars are generally placed in areas that can be covered by bras, tops, and bathing suits.
While meticulous surgical technique and precise incision placement are priorities for Dr. Tabbal, scar formation ultimately depends on how each patient’s skin heals. Detailed post-operative care instructions are provided to support optimal healing, but scar appearance and maturation can vary from person to person, even when procedures and aftercare are identical.
Over time, surgical scars can soften, lighten, and become less noticeable. For most patients, the benefits of a mommy makeover significantly outweigh the presence of residual scarring.

Additional Mommy Makeover Frequently Asked Questions
Can procedures be safely combined?
Yes, when carefully planned, combining procedures can be safe and efficient.
When can I return to work?
Most patients return to work within two to three weeks, depending on their job.
Will I lose weight after a mommy makeover?
While a mommy makeover is not intended as a weight loss surgery, many patients notice their weight is slightly lower after surgery. This is because most patients will have had a significant amount of excess abdominal skin and fat removed during surgery. More noticeably, patients find that their clothes fit much better after surgery.
Will my dress size change after surgery?
Dr. Tabbal’s patients often notice that their dress size drops two to three sizes after undergoing a mommy makeover. Every patient and every surgery is different so results can vary.
How long do results last?
Results can be long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable weight and having a healthy lifestyle.
How long after giving birth should I wait to get a mommy makeover?
Dr. Tabbal recommends that women should wait at least six months after childbirth to undergo a mommy makeover. This is necessary to allow your body the time it needs to completely heal after childbirth and for the changes that mothers experience from pregnancy to subside. It’s important to note that mothers who are breastfeeding should wait six months after they stop before having surgery.
Can I have more children after a mommy makeover?
Yes, but future pregnancies can affect your results. This is why Dr. Tabbal recommends waiting until you are finished having more children before having surgery.
