Pregnancy changes the body in many ways. In Mont Belvieu, where the warm weather means lighter clothing most of the year, these changes can affect how you dress and feel. While diet and exercise help with overall health, they cannot tighten loose abdominal skin, fix separated muscles, or restore lost breast tissue. A Mommy Makeover is a surgical solution designed to address these specific changes.
At The Clinic for Plastic Surgery, located a short drive away in Clear Lake, Dr. Sam Sukkar and our team take a careful, precise approach to every procedure. Our goal is to restore your core strength and natural shape, so you leave with a balanced and stable figure.
A Mommy Makeover is a personalized set of surgeries that help correct the physical changes caused by pregnancy and breastfeeding. This usually includes removing loose abdominal skin, repairing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and restoring breast volume and position.
At our Houston-area facility, we perform these combined procedures with strict safety measures in place. We customize the order of surgeries based on your unique needs and body structure.
We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Your surgical plan is based on how your body changed during pregnancy. We focus on two main areas: the breasts and the abdomen.
Breastfeeding and changes in weight can stretch the Cooper's ligaments and reduce breast tissue. We offer three main ways to address these issues:
Breast Augmentation: We use MENTOR® Breast Implants to replace lost volume and fill out the upper pole of the breast.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy): We remove excess skin and reposition the nipple higher on the chest wall.
Augmentation with Lift: We combine implants for volume with a lift for position. This is the most common choice for post-pregnancy patients.
Breast Reduction: For women whose breasts remain disproportionately large and heavy after pregnancy, we remove dense tissue to relieve neck and back strain.
During pregnancy, the abdominal wall experiences the most physical stress.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): We remove the apron of loose skin and surgically suture the separated abdominal muscles back together. This flattens the stomach and restores core stability.
Liposuction: We often use VASER or PowerX liposuction to remove stubborn fat from the sides and back. This helps your flatter abdomen blend smoothly into your waist.
Having these procedures done together offers major improvements. Your core is repaired and tissues are repositioned, which can make a real difference in your daily life.
This is a major surgery, so you need to be in good overall health.
Dr. Sukkar performs this combined surgery at our AAAASF-certified center using general anesthesia. We use advanced pain management techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible.
When you wake up, you’ll feel tightness in your midsection, similar to a strong muscle cramp. Your chest may also feel heavy and under pressure.
Recovering from surgery on both the breasts and abdomen takes patience and following instructions closely.
Most patients in Mont Belvieu need 10 to 14 days off from work and social activities. During the first week, you’ll walk slightly hunched over to protect your abdominal repair.
You should avoid heavy lifting, twisting, and exercises that use your core for 6 to 8 weeks.
Take your time with healing. Wear your compression garments as directed, since they help control swelling and support your healing muscles.
You’ll see changes right away, loose skin is gone and breast volume is restored. However, swelling after surgery will hide your final shape for a while.
By week six, your clothes will start to fit differently. It takes time for tissues to soften and settle. Breast implants will gradually move into place, and swelling in your abdomen will go down over three to six months.
A Mommy Makeover will leave visible scars. The abdominal scar is a horizontal line across the lower pelvis. Breast scars can range from a small circle around the areola to an anchor shape, depending on the lift needed.
Dr. Sukkar uses careful techniques to help scars heal as flat, thin lines. Scars will look red and raised at first, but they usually fade to a pale silver over a year. We offer complete scar care to help you get the best results.
Combining abdominal and breast surgery requires careful attention to your safety. The amount of time under anesthesia is very important. In our practice, safety always comes first. If you need a complex reconstruction of both areas, we may split the surgeries into two separate procedures instead of keeping you under anesthesia for too long. We never compromise on safety. We check your tissue, monitor your health, and create a surgical plan that gives you the best results with the lowest risk.
The total cost depends on which procedures you choose. The price covers the facility fee, anesthesia, breast implants (if needed), and Dr. Sukkar’s surgical fee. We’ll give you a detailed quote during your private consultation based on your needs.
It is physically possible to have more children after surgery, but we strongly recommend against it. Another pregnancy will stretch the repaired muscles and skin, undoing the results. It’s best to wait until you’re done having children before scheduling this procedure.
Removing extra skin and repairing muscles are permanent changes. However, your body will still age naturally. Keeping a stable weight and healthy habits is the best way to maintain your results.
You can start light, brisk walking in the first few weeks. High-impact exercise and core workouts should wait until our team clears you, usually around 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.
In many cases, yes. Surgical drains help prevent fluid from building up under the skin, which is important for a flat abdomen and good healing. They’re usually removed within the first week or two during a follow-up visit at our clinic.
From the first time you walk into The Clinic for Plastic Surgery, you’ll know that you are in a place that cares about results. Under the leadership of Dr. Sukkar, The Clinic for Plastic Surgery has become Houston’s plastic surgery center of choice. Experience the difference for yourself by scheduling a consultation today.
