Mommy Makeover
Consultations offered at our two convenient locations in Houston and Lake Jackson, TX
Motherhood changes you in meaningful ways. This step is about honoring that journey while restoring a body that feels true to you.
Motherhood is one of life’s greatest callings, filled with joy, purpose, and love. Yet, it is common to feel a disconnect with your body after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. You may find yourself choosing clothes for coverage rather than style, or avoiding activities not because you’ve lost interest, but because you feel self-conscious.
At Town & Country Plastic Surgeons + Medspa, we see the Mommy Makeover as more than a set of procedures. It is about restoring balance—helping your outer appearance reflect the strength and vitality you feel inside. Led by Dr. Scott Yarish and Dr. Janak Parikh, our goal is not to erase your history as a mother, but to help you become the most confident version of who you are today.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?
The phrase “Mommy Makeover” refers to a highly customized combination of surgical procedures designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy figure. Because pregnancy affects every woman differently, there is no “standard” makeover. Instead, it is a personalized strategy to address the areas that diet and exercise often cannot fix:
- The Breasts: Restoring lost volume and lifting sagging tissue.
- The Abdomen: Repairing separated muscles (diastasis recti) and removing loose skin.
- The Body: Contouring stubborn fat pockets that have become resistant to the gym.
Am I A Candidate?
Deciding on surgery is a personal choice, often born from a gradual realization that prioritizing your own comfort isn’t selfish—it uplifts your whole family. You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You have “finished” your family: We recommend waiting until you do not plan to have more children, as future pregnancies can reverse the results.
- You are at a stable weight: These procedures are for contouring, not weight loss.
- You are healthy: You are a non-smoker with no unmanaged medical conditions.
- You have realistic goals: You want to look like a refreshed version of yourself, not a different person entirely.
Your Customized Options
Together, we will design a surgical plan that targets your specific concerns. Most Mommy Makeovers include a combination of the following:
Breast Enhancement
- Breast Augmentation: Restores lost volume using silicone or saline implants.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Raises the nipple and tightens the skin to fix the “deflated” look caused by breastfeeding.
- Breast Reduction: For women whose breasts have become uncomfortably large or heavy post-pregnancy.
- Note: These are often combined (e.g., Augmentation with Lift) for a comprehensive result.
Abdominal Restoration
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): The gold standard for restoring the midsection. It removes excess skin and, crucially, tightens the underlying abdominal muscles that separate during pregnancy.
- Mini Tummy Tuck: A less invasive option for women whose loose skin is located only below the belly button.
Body Contouring & Intimate Wellness
- Liposuction: Sculpts the flanks, thighs, or arms to create a balanced silhouette.
- Labiaplasty: Restores comfort and aesthetics to the labia, which can sometimes stretch during childbirth.
The Philosophy: Why “Natural” Matters
Many women fear looking “overdone.” That instinct is a wise one. Dr. Yarish and Dr. Parikh believe the best results look like you—only more confident and balanced.
We use advanced techniques and artistic judgment to ensure:
- Proportion: Your new curves fit your frame naturally.
- Harmony: The breasts and body complement each other.
- Subtlety: The hallmark of a great result is when friends notice your renewed energy, not the surgery itself.
Preparation & Recovery
Preparing for Surgery To ensure the safest outcome, we will provide comprehensive instructions, including:
- Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding nicotine (which interferes with healing).
- Medications: Avoiding anti-inflammatory medicines that can increase bleeding.
- Support: Arranging for help at home. You will not be able to lift children or heavy objects for several weeks.
The Recovery Timeline
- Week 1: Rest is key. You will need help with meals and childcare.
- Week 2: Most patients feel ready to drive and return to light desk work.
- Week 6: Most patients are cleared to return to normal exercise routines.
- The Result: While you will see immediate improvements, your final results will settle over 3 to 6 months as swelling resolves and tissues relax.
