Beyond Motherhood: A New Chapter Awaits

Many women, like you, have difficulty returning to their pre-baby figure after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Despite all efforts to correct the changes that have occurred with diet and exercise, you may not be able to get the figure you want without surgery (especially when it comes to the tummy and breasts).

Even though childbirth is an amazing and miraculous moment for many women, it usually alters the tightness and shape of various body parts — and can leave you feeling frustrated and unattractive. The great news is that it's possible to reclaim a youthful, slimmer, tighter figure with a Port Saint Lucie Mommy Makeover performed by Dr. Vinyard.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

Vinyard Institute of Plastic Surgery (VIPS) offers the mommy makeover body contouring treatment by combining skin tightening and fat reduction methods to target both the upper body (arms and breasts) and lower body (such as the tummy, thighs, and butt). Virtually any area affected by nursing, weight gain or loss, or other bodily changes can be repaired. In addition, non-surgical remedies can correct surface irregularities, such as skin problems or stretch marks, from the rapid fluctuation and stretching of the skin, tissue, and underlying muscles during pregnancy.

A Mommy Makeover is a combination of cosmetic procedures. A Mommy Makeover aims to enhance a woman's confidence and self-esteem by rejuvenating her appearance and helping her feel more comfortable in her own skin after experiencing the physical toll of pregnancy and childbirth.

Mommy Makeover Reviews

Even at 56, the Mommy Makeover (tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation) was the best thing I have ever done for myself! I had been overweight most of my life and had three very large babies, so I had a lot of damaged skin. Pros: My self-esteem has risen tremendously, and I love the way I look!...

It's been a year and a half now, and I am still so glad I had the mommy makeover!! The final results are exactly as expected (thank you, Dr. Vinyard). The implants dropped right into place and look and feel so natural. Every morning when I look in the mirror, I feel so good about myself that it has ...

Dr. Vinyard is the best, especially for tummy tucks!!! I am now 3 months post-op, and I'm loving the results. My incision scar is super thin and very low. I have the cutest belly button (I haven't seen my belly button for almost 22 years due to having kids), a super flat stomach, and I feel young, c...

Mommy Makeover Candidates

The right candidates for body contouring and a mommy makeover are individuals who have been through pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing and have worked to get a toned, slimmer appearance through a consistently healthy lifestyle with little result. For many women, surgery is recommended to attain their pre-pregnancy figure. If you have completed childbearing but are displeased with the imperfections left behind, such as lifeless, deflated breasts, loose abdominal skin, or unwanted fat tissue in the hips, thighs, and buttocks, a mommy makeover procedure could help you. The goal of Dr. Vinyard is to help you reclaim your pre-pregnancy body so you can resume life without additional concern about your body.

The right candidates have been through pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing and have worked to get a toned, slimmer appearance through a consistently healthy lifestyle with little result. Other candidacy factors include the following:

  • You have completed childbearing and breastfeeding, as further pregnancies can disrupt the results
  • You are in generally good health
  • You are a non-smoker, or are willing to quit for some time before and after your Mommy Makeover

Your Consultation

To determine whether you are a good candidate for a Mommy Makeover, you’ll attend a consultation with Dr. Vinyard. During this appointment, he will conduct a consultation with an analysis and conversation about your breast and body size and shape and a physical exam. Next, you’ll discuss your options to create the perfect Mommy Makeover for you. Finally, you’ll meet with one of our patient care coordinators, who will explain the fees. The quote is based on the plan you and Dr. Vinyard have agreed upon.

What to Expect During and After Your Mommy Makeover


Because the Mommy Makeover experience is curated for each patient, what to expect varies based on the treatments and procedures included in your Makeover. Generally speaking:

  • The surgeries are performed using general anesthesia, taking a minimum of 4-7 hours based on the number of surgeries performed
  • An overnight stay at the hospital might be necessary
  • After a recovery period in the hospital, you will begin to rest and recover at home with the post-operative instructions we supply

Here’s what you need to know about Mommy Makeover recovery:

  • Moving around and walking upright will be challenging the first week or so, and a step-by-step home healing protocol will be provided to help your incisions and sutures heal properly
  • Most patients find the healing phase can take about six months
  • Even though your primary recovery could take months, most patients can return to a regular routine, including sedentary work and light household tasks, within a few weeks
  • You will be required to avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activities, and repetitive motions for approximately six weeks
  • Working out should wait for around two months

Your scars will lighten and mature over the next 18 – 24 months. Ultimately, this surgery at VIPS can be a fantastic journey, again providing you with renewed self-esteem.

How much does a mommy makeover cost?

The cost of a mommy makeover can vary depending on what you are including in your surgery. In your consultation, Dr. Vinyard will create your treatment plan before he can estimate your costs. A mommy makeover is an investment in reclaiming your body after pregnancy and childbirth, so it's important to focus on getting amazing results instead of the lowest cost. VIPS accepts many payment options, and we can help you find low-interest financing through CareCredit so your mommy makeover is easier to afford.

How do I decide what to include in my mommy makeover?

In your consultation with Dr. Vinyard, he will listen to your wants and needs before examining your body. After this, he can make recommendations on what should be a part of your treatment plan. Often, women want breast surgery (augmentation and/or a lift) together with liposuction and a tummy tuck.

Will I have scars?

While a mommy makeover offers a beautiful new shape, it does include some scarring. Dr. Vinyard will create small incisions. Most scars that result from this surgery will be able to be hidden underneath your undergarments or swimsuit. As part of your recovery instructions, Dr. Vinyard or a member of his team will go over scar care so your skin will heal flat and the discoloration of the scars eventually fade.

What if I get pregnant again?

In a perfect world, you should wait to have a mommy makeover until after all pregnancies have been completed so the surgical results are not compromised. Generally, any body part that has been lifted or tightened would be at risk if a subsequent pregnancy were to occur. If you get pregnant after your mommy makeover, a second surgery can be performed to refresh your results.
